AssaiIed by Legion Post

The James E. Walker Post Is
Of the District American Legion
yesterday attacked the Depart
ment's racial segregation policy
and asked quick adoption of a
non-segregation stand for the
department clubhouse at 433
Third street NV.
Over the signature of Post
Commander Carl D. Coleman, a
letter advised Department Com
mander Byron E. Dunn that the
post members had voted to re-
turn courtesy cards issued to
registrantS for the national con-
vention.
Negro Legionnaires are barred
ordinarily from use Of the club
house facilities" the letter said.
because of its segregated policy,
and since the courtesy cards are
only for the duration of the con-
vention, our post could not in
good faith accept these cards and
at the same time knowing that
the segregated policy would be
resumed after the convention. :"

market crash, Wards directors
looked around for a strong man"
to bring the company stability.
Avery Reluctant to Come.
Mr.. Avery, then president Of
United States Gypsum Co., had
made a reputation for bringing
that concern in. a strong cash
position following World War I.
Mr.. Avery was reluctant to
take the Ward Craftsmanship Of
fered at 100000 a year. The
offer then was sweetened. He
was given an option to buy 100,-
900 shares OF Ward stock at Sill
a share, approximately the mar
ket price at that time.
He signed a two-year contract
on November 81, 1881.
Later he told the stockholders:
II banana-peeled into this place
and then couldn't get out"
Minority stockholders grum-
bled at the financial arrange
ments Wards made with Mr..
Avery. but these rumblings died
out when the company returned
to the profit column and the
stock again paid dividends.
In three years Mr.. Avery con-
verted q 50 million net loss into
a 50 million net profit.
Sears Elected to Expand.
The sharp difference in Ward
and Sears policies became appar-
ent at the close of World War II.
Sears expanded on the theory
that years of prosperity lay
ahead. Mr.. Avery sat tight with
big cash reserves that could
weather a major business crisis.
This lack Of expansion has
been cited as a major underlying
cause of friction between Mr..
Avery and Wards lesser execu-
tives who felt they were being
deprived of opportunity for adj
vancement.
Many quit or were fired. Mr..
Avery wouldn't unbend. He had
his supporters as well as critics
among the stockholders.
In 1913, the two Morgan Off
cials-George Whitney and H. P.
Davidson-quit the Ward board
because they opposed Mr.. Avery's
policies. sESSI
II Trust Deserts Avery.
The following. year, the Massa-
chusetts Investors Trust, then
Wards largest stakeholder with
100000 shares, announced it
would not cast its votes for Mr..
Avery but would support the
other directors.
In 1850, Walter Morgan, presi-
dent of Wellington Fund, a
Ward stockholder, hit at Mr..
Avery's conservatism. saying:
when sales were declining in
1949 and MIR. Avery's depression
policies should have paid of,
Wards sales declined more than
the sales of Sears"
But that same year. Mr..
Avery's slate of directors was re-
elected by an overwhelming mar
gin, shortly after he told the
stockholders:
1.-THE general assumption that
the operation of this concern is
under the rugged and terrorizing
power Of a demon dictator is, I
want to assure you, just plain
damned nonsense

Then he visited the latter with suggestion Perhaps
La Sonora might invite Evita to the tea planned for

But. after all. she is the First Lady" Dodero
replied. She's been received by many state heads
And these days. with trouble in Argentina. it might

The Last WoeA
NExr day Dodero heard the invitation would be
Forthcoming. But the following morning, Sonora
Bemberg had repeatedly changed her mind Two more
uncertain days followed Then Evita, furious. let
loose: ''She refuses me an invitation. I'll show
her who has the last word. Get me Ell President&!'
The transatlantic connection wasn't very clear.
But Evitas voice was powerful enough to blast Peron
into action. Within day. Argentine newspapers had
big headlines Government Reactivates Inheritance

April. 1858, nine months after Evitas death. the
Peron regime finally completed its seizure of other
Bemberg properties. The grand total as estimated
by Otto Bemberg: over $200OO0OOO.
That, Argentines viii tell you, is the price Evta
ultimately made the Bembergs pay for the tea invita-
