Democrat Opposes Probe of Seizure

WASHINGTON, May 3 (U. P).—| Chairman: John J. Cochran (D.! Mo.) of the house accounts commit-| tes today assailed the proposed house investigation of the govern-| ment’s seizure of Montgomery Ward & Co. Chicago properties as “nothing but the cheapest brand of | politics.” Cochran's committee would have jurisdiction over authorizing funds for the inquiry as advocated in the resolution of Rep. Charles 8. Dewey (R. Il), Dewey's proposal, calling for a special committee of four Democrats and three Republicans to conduct the inquiry, is scheduled to come up on the house floor late tomorrow or Friday, and there were indications it may be approved. Cochran charged that Sewell Avery, Montgomery Ward board chairman, was inconsistent in seeking to defend his “outrageous conduct in defying the U. 8. government- on the ground that his enterprise is not so vital to the war effort as to justify presidential action.” “This,” he sald, “Is an amazing position for the gentleman to take

Harry F, Byrd (D. | Va.) for a specific inquiry into the | use of troops in the Ward seizure.| Byrd would need unanimous con-| sent to get his resolution before the! | senate prior to consideration of a | contract termination bill, The war | contract bill is expected fo take at | least two days. : ‘
