Ward Will Appeal to Supreme Court
The government seeks to challenge the seizure of Ward and Company's mail order properties after the Seventh Circuit upheld President Roosevelt's Dec. 28 action. The three-judge panel ruled the War Materials Stoppage Act applied, despite Ward's claim the company was not a war producer. The company plans to press the appeal with the U S Circuit Court of Appeals, with no immediate operational changes expected. The Supreme Court is due to recess after the next session, likely delaying action until fall. The company leader Avery denounced the ruling as the closet shop, pledging continued legal fight for individual liberty. The Army remains in control pending outcome.
