Refusal 10 Help for
Confusion in Plants
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Jan. 12~The Army
and Montgomery Ward g. Co. fought
battle of afhdavits yesterday, each
accusing the other of responsibility
for business confusion arising out of
Army operation of Is company prop
critics in seven cities.
Twenty-six affldavits by Army Of
ficers were filed In, Federal Court in
connection with the Government
suit now under advisement of Judge
Philip l.. Sullivan, for a Judgment to
uphold legality of the presidentially
ordered seizure December % and for
an injunction to prevent alleged
company interference with Army
operation.
This brought to SO the number of
Government affidavits on file. COM
pared with the company's "a total.
Reply to Ward Charges.
In these affidavits, the Army re-
piled to accusations by Wards, con-
tanned in 33 company affidavits filed
the day before. that Wards business
was being hampered and that in
efficiency and confusion had been
caused by the Army.
1t. Col. j. H. Savage, disbursing
adviser to Maj. Gen. Joseph w.
Bryon, military manager at Wards,
in one long affidavit. declared it was
the company's refusal to cooperate
that had caused the trouble. Col.
Savage said, in part:
1T seemed incredible that any
company would embark upon a pol
icy of wrecking its business for the
purpose of discrediting it's Govern
ment, and officers of the company
were invited to Jein with officers of
Gen. Bryons staff in effecting SEN
sible business solutions to common
problems.
Given Written Assurances.
"It was proposed that the War
Department exercise only such con-
troll as was necessary to effectuate
the provisions of the executive or
der. The suggestion that this
method be adopted was rejected
despite written assurances from the
commanding general, Army Service
Forces, that no cooperative act
would prejudice any rights of the
company"

The children are happily singing

The time will come after awhile
To put your books away.
The bells won't ring, the children won't sing

Then gather pretty bouquets,
For ourselves and Mother Dear.
With their sheer perfuned blossoms
They flowers.
Now there various types OF flowers
Roses, lilies, and many more.
So we plant flower gardens,
In a place where they will grow
Sometime there volunteers,
Some are and some wild
But when you put them all together,
They flowers.

That God from Heaven sends the ram
The morning dew, sunshine and breezes,
That help the little plants to live

Give flowers.

We'll walk to the village, have
coffee at Madame Claudel's. Well

the road out to the river"

AND they walked together - to
all the places. And late in the day
they went to sit by the river. There
was nothing to say; there was only
a feeling of non-existence. as if

That was the last time she saw
him before the operation.
After it was over, the Lieuten-

Majors bedside. He looked up
at her and smiled. so you're the

Nurse - uh -"
She took his hand in hers. MY
name is Perry" she said.
"Oh. Well - thanks, Nurse
Perry. 1t was nice of you to do so
much for a stranger. ."
AND so it was evening in the
garden of the convent at Voileau.

From then on she was with him.
Every day she would tell a little
more of what had happened all
those years. None of it touched
him - but he wanted to know.
Sometimes there we're lovely days.
He walked with her, and they'd
60 into the village and he'd look
at the gadgets in the stores and
say. Look - is this what you

delightedly and nod her head. Or

were very much in love.

then asked Nurse Perry to come
