Wheeler Asks For
Senate Peace Stand
WASHINGTON, Dec. 30-UP)-Sen-
ator Wheeler (D.-Mont.) proposed to-
day that the Senate formally pro-
claim its own peace aims, "in the
absence of the President's taking a
stand."
He filed with the Senate Secretary,
for introduction when the new Con-
gress meets Wednesday, a resolution
which would place the Senate on rec-
ord for creation of a "Federation of
European Nations."'
Ball Asks That
L. ahorl Policy
include Petrillo
WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.--()-
Senator Ball (Rep., Minn.) declared
today that there should be a law to
back the government's wartime labor
policy and that it should apply to
James C. Petrillo the same as Sewell
Avery.
The senator supported President,
Roosevelt's statement in seizing
Montgomery Ward stores Thursday
that what the President called the
firm's "consistent and willful defi-
ance" of War Labor Board decisions
had threatened employer - worker
confidence in the agency's machinery
for settling labor disputes. Avery is
board chairman of Ward.
But James C. Petrillo and the
American Federation of Musicians,
which he heads, also have defied the
board and jeopardized confidence in
it, Ball said in a statement.
Proposing establishment of a "le-
gal basis for action against union
defiance," he added:
"A fundamental principle of dem-
ocracy is that its rules and laws
apply equally to all. I do not believe
that is true at present as regards
enforcement of WLB directives."
ATTEMPT AT PEACE:
Gei. Byrou Scheduled To Meet
Union Off icials in Ward Row
By The Associated Press
CHICAGO-Gen. Joseph Byron ar-
ranged to feet again with officials
of the CIO United Retail, Wholesale
and Department Store Employes Un-
ion. He and his labor relations of-
ficer, Lt. Col. Daniel Boland, already
have had several meetings with the
unionists.
A hearing before Federal Judge
Philip L. Sullivan was set for Jan. 8
on the government petititon for a
declaratory judgment to establish
legality of President Roosevelt's seiz-
ure order and for an injunction to
restrain Ward's officials from inter-
fering with Army operations.

Ward Plants Calm
Over New Year's
CHICAGO, Dec. 30.-(/P)-A New
Year's holiday calm settled over
Montgomery Ward and Company
today.
The Army, which seized company
properties in seven cities Thursday
under Presidential order consolidated
its position by having office facilities
installed. The company stood on its
refusal, to recognize validity of the
seizure, apparently awaiting federal
A
L
court determination of the issues.
Await Army Action
The union involved in the labor
dispute awaited Army action toward
carrying out War Labor Board direc-
tives for maintenance of union mem-
bership, wage increase with back pay
and seniority. It was Ward's refusal
to comply with these directives that
led to the seizure.
Sewell L. Avery, Ward's chairman
of the board who declared President
Roosevelt's order was without Con-
stitutional foundation and could not
be obeyed, spent several hours in his
offices, conferring with top company
executives.
Maj.-Gen. Joseph W. Byron, mili-
tary manager, spent half a day in his
office, separated from Avery's only
by the office of John Branch, Avery's
secretary.
Maintain 24-Hour Control
Army officers remained at their
posts after the general and top staff
members departed. Public relations
officers said the Army would main-
tain 24-hour control of the facilities,
including the holiday week-end.
The Army position was that Avery
was free to carry on operations of
the huge mail order house other than
those in the seized properties.

Recently returned from the China-
Burma front, where he successfully
completed 51 missions and survived
a three-day ordeal when his P-40
was shot down inside Jap lines, Cap-
tain HOLLIS M. BLACKSTONE is
now troop commander at the Fourth
Air Force's Paine Field (Wash.).
While serving in China with the
Fourteenth Air Force, Capt. Black-
stone was officially credited with
shooting down three enemy planes.
In May, 1943, he was transferred to
India, where he served as director
of training and chief tactical advis-
or of an American-Chinese Training
Unit.
In describing the tactics of the
Fourteenth Air Force Capt. Hol-
lis used the highest praises in
crediting its commander, Gen.
Chennault, stating that his princi-
ples "have produced results in
safety to our flyers and losses to
the Japs."
The Fourteenth Air Force, he
says, has used airpower "as in-
fantry, as machine guns and as
artillery. Often times," he states,
"we had to make un for the Chi-
nese Armies' lack of heavy weap-
ons and have played the role of
heavy ground weapons for them.
They (the Chinese) are courag-
eous defensive soldiers, but they
lack offensive firepower."
Marine First Lieutenant FRANK
M. MURPHY, recently returned from
the South Pacific wheredhe partici-
pated in 40 raids as a dive bomber
pilot with the "Bombing Banshees"
squadron, is now stationed at the U.
S. Naval Air Station at San Diego,
Cal.
Lt. Murphy operated from Bou-
gainville, Emirau and Green islands
against enemy installations on Bou-
gainville Island, Rabaul, New Brit-
ain and Kavieng, New Ireland. Al-
though his plane was hit by anti-air-
craft fire on 10 raids, he escaped in-
jury and completed the missions.
An Oak Leaf Cluster to his Air
Medal has been awarded to 1st Lt.
PAUL C. MARINCE, a former stu-
dent at the University, for "cour-I
age, coolness and skill" while parti-
cipating in bombing attacks upon
war plants in Germany and upon'
Nazi military defense points and'
communication lines in supporting'
Allied armies in western Europe.
Lt. Marince, who left the Uni-
versity to join the AAF in March,
1943, is the pilot of an Eighth
Air Force B-17 Flying Fortress in
the 385th Bombardment Group.
SPERO P. YIANILOS, a navi-
gator on an Eighth Air Force B-17
Flying Fortress and a student at
