CHATEAU TONITE and TOMORROW
stmm s < \si; OUICAIJO, May 3 (IT’) I-Yderal Judge William H. Holly weighed his decision on the government’!’ rigid to seize a ret id stop today while the Nuti'inal Lnlmr Ketatiou Hoard prepaiud to t do .1 vote eittur Saturday 01 Mond.iv to deterudm if the United Itetail, Wholesale and 1 apartment Store Kniployes Union
(CIO) lias a majority membership of workers at Montgomery Ward and Company. The election was ordered by the N'UtU in Washington yesterday, six days after troops were called to taki over the Chicago properties of the nation's second largest mail order nuse. Judge Holly, who issued a temporary injnetlon restraining Ward's officials from interference with government operation of the firm s Chicago properties last Wednesday eight at the request of Attorney (Icneral Francis Biddle, heard final irguments on the government's plea nr a continuance of the injunction ve.sterday and t(«ik the ease undei advisment until Monday when lu vdl render his decision. Attorney General Biddle, who irgued for the government, cnotendd that the President acted ns com-mander-in-chief when he ordered the pin ,1 sized April 26 and no question if 1 ml rights or constitutionality was involved. Ward's attorney, Harold A. Smith, who argued for a dissolution of th temporary injunction, said the chief executive exceeded his authority because the Smith-Connally anti-strike act, under which the plant was seizor, does not apply to a non-war business. 'Hie election at the plant was ordered to settle the question of collective bargaining rights among the firm's e-timated 6,00(1 Chicago employes eligible to vote. The company had contended that the union no longi r represented a majority of the workers and refused to extend itf contract The War I.ahor Board ordered the company t» 1 extend the pact until a new one could be negotioted and when the firm refused, a strike

was called, tying up the plant for business 13 days. The strike precipitated government seizure of the plant and the sub.squent ouster of board chairman Jewell Avery by t\ni soldiers. The NUtB ordered the workers divided into two units for the eleclion. One unit will include the warehouse, mail order and retail workers and the other wdl include employes «>n the administrative departments. The decision to divide the worker* into two units' was a compromise, rile union had asked that the work•rs vote as -a singlf unit and the ompany wanted them divided into four units. George J'. Bolt, NUtB regional lircctor, was authorized to fix the date of the election and he set cither Saturday or Monday, unless "£»»me tiling unforeseen’ delays it until Tuesday. Leonard Levy international vice president of the union, said tire union 1 is ready to go ahead with the election any time th - labor board orders it.'' Nazis Reinforce Invasion Troops

LONDON, May 3 (UP)—A Stockholm dispatch said today that the German command had shifted 50 divisions from the Russian front to boost to perhaps 1,500,000 men the, armies massed it Western Kurope to meet the impending Allied invasion. The shift, doubling German strength in the west wts mad" at the suggestion of Marsh il Erwin Rommel, German anti-invasion commander, the Stockholm correspondent of the London Daily Telegraph said on tile basis of w lat ho called “a detailed and uncensored account
from inside Germany.”
With only 1,750,000 men left tc meet the Red Army's offensive, Germany has emoarked on the great- • st military gan hie ever mad",” the
correspondent wrote.
Radio Berlin disclosed that Rommel just had informed h'3 battery commanders along the AtlanUc coast to expect an Allied air-borne landing “every day, every nour" and Capt Ludwig Sertorious. Nazi military commander, said thj invasion ‘ will
not be long now.”
At least seven other German commentators in the past 24 hours have broadcast warnings to the populations of Axis Europe that they must he prepared for heavy simultaneous 1 blows from the east, west and south. Kurt Dittmar, in a Berlin broadcast, acknowledged that the Allies held sea and air superiority in the west and said that “certain factors arc extremely favorable to the
Anglo-Americans."
“No doubt the enemy will attempt to carry out encircling operations by
aid," Dittmar said.
Radio Vichy said an Allied attack appeared imminent in Italy. “In any case, Allied preparations appear to be concluded and the revival of Allied raids against centers of tlie communications system in Italy can be taken for a general softening up preceding an attack in tlie very near future,” Vichy said.
PRIMARY VOTE (('untlnurd trtin: mar Our) The fact that rain fell Monday and prevented farmers from working, probably added ten to fifteen per cent to the total vote, otherwise it would have been a very meager turnout on a primary election day.
