Appeals Court Denies Ward Motion Chicago, June 27—(UP)—Army officers operating Montgomery Ward and Co. properties today were armed with legal permission to put into effect war labor board directives ordered for Wards properties before their seizure last Dec. 28. The U. S. circuit court of appeals late yesterday denied a motion from the mail order firm's attorneys to restrain the army from enforcing the directives pending an appeal of the seizure order. It was the company’s failure to comly with WLB directives which originally the late President Roosevelt to order the army to take over Wards. Col. A. S. Mason, deputy war department representative at Wards disclosed that the army already had instituted wage increases, dues checkoff and maintenance of membership provisions. Mason said that the army would await legal interpretation of the court order before putting into effect the retroactivity provisions of the WLB-approved raises. The circuit court last June 8 reversed a district court decision that the president had exceeded his authority in taking over Wards, ruling that the seizure was legal under the war labor disputes act. Wards attorneys have indicated their intention of appealing the court of appeals decision to the U. S. supreme court. o Delson Lehman Dies Unexpectedly Today Delson Lehman, 48, lifelong resident of Berne, died suddenly at 4 a. m. today at the state school at Fort Wayne, where he had been a patient for several weeks.

Undertakers Quarrel Over Body, One Gary Mortician Is Slain Gary, Ind., June 27—(UP)—An argument between two undertakers over who would bury the body of a war worker ended in the death of one of the morticians and the shooting of three other persons, police satf today. Undertaker J. D. Smith was shot fatally in the throat last night when he refused to relinquish the body to mortician Bruce Howers, police said. Howers, accompanied by relatives of the dead war worker, John Ellis, had called to get the body, which Smith had taken from a Gary hospital without the consent of the family, according to police. Howers said he had been asked to officiate at the funeral because he had buried other members of the Ellis family. In the quarrel that ensued, Smith shot Victor Howers, the undertakers brother, in the side with a .32 calibre revolver, police said. Bruce Howers then wrested the gun from Smith and shot, him, they said. According to police records, when Smith’s wife, Claudia, and his nephew. Clyde, intervened, Howers shot them. Mrs. Smith suffered hand wound and the nephew was shot twice in the chest. Howers was arrested on an open charge pending a coroner’s inquest. Meanwhile, the body of. Ellis remained unburied while police attempted to fix the blame for the gunfire and determine which undertaking parlor should officiate at the funeral.
