'CZAR' PETRILLO .attacked by Sen. Ball. 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. d. .r. d. 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. 01, M" MICHIGAN MEN AT WAR I Dress up k; your Wurdrobe SOFT LINES in beautiful suits of gabardine, flannel, or shetland.

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.

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.
