It argues Congress has not granted the President power to seize Montgomery Ward non war activities, and any such action would disregard the Constitution the President swears to uphold.

Black Market Gas Operations Reduced
Chicago, April 25. Chester Bawle, price administrator, said black market gasoline operations have been reduced materially in recent months though not yet licked. He noted counterfeit use fell from eight to nine percent to about two percent. The Secret Service with the OPA and local police made over 1,000 arrests nationwide last month, and coupon endorsement by motorists remains the key weapon against black market practices. The CPA now tracks 95 percent of all coupons issued, up from 50 to 60 percent. He added, We are no FBI and had to learn the hard way.
