Avery Beats Wolfson
In Battle for Control
Of Montgomery Ward
CHICAGO UP)—How bad a beat- j
ing Sewell Avery gave Louis j
Wolfson in the battle for control j
of Montgomery Ward and Co. i
was the only question remaining
today.
Election inspectors are count
ing the votes cast at yesterday’s
annual stockholders meeting. The
final decision will not be known
for about three weeks.
Sewell Avery won. And Louis
Wolfson lost. The only point at
which they disputed one another
was to how many friends Wolfson
would have with him at Ward’s
director meetings over the next
year.
Wolfson said he took at least
three seats, leaving six on the
nine-man board for Avery. The
Avery forces contended Wolfson
took two, leaving seven for Av
ery. Wolfson said he might “pos
sibly” have taken four.

State Delegation Assured
Alaska Forces Will Get
All Supplies Thru Seattle
WASHINGTON, (tft—A r m y
Transportation Corps officers as
sured members of the Washing
ton congressional delegation Fri
day that “every pound of produce
going to the armed forces in Al
aska will move through Seattle.”
They said none of the cargoes
would be shipped from the San
Francisco Bay area.
Four generals and two colonels
of the Transportation Corps at
tended the conference in Sen.
Magnuson’s office. It was called
after Washington’s congressmen
and Seattle civic interests ex
pressed concern over proposals to
shift all Far East traffic in refrig
erated cargoes to San Francisco.
When Magnuson asked if there
are plans afoot for closing of the
Seattle Port of Embarkation, the
generals all replied, “No.”
DALLAS HEAT RECORD
DALLAS, Texas, (£>—Heat rec
ords were broken here last week,
the Weather Bureau said.
Thursday’s 95 degrees was the
hottest April 21 on record. And
Friday’s 91 was another new
mark, for April 22.
Both previous marks were set
in 1925.
Vaccine Priority
To Be Allocated by
Voluntary Means
WASHINGTON, UP—The gov
ernment moved by voluntary
means today to assure that the
Salk polio vaccine goes first to
those who need it most.
Secretary of Welfare Hobby
said she will name a national ad
visory committee of seven or nine
members to suggest allocations by
states.
Each state is expected to set
up its own system of priorities
for handling its share of the vac
cine.
The plan, approved by Presi
dent Eisenhower Friday, will not
have any effect on the frd^ immu
nization of first and second grade
school children already under
way under auspices of the Na
tional Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis.
It applies only to the furnish
ing of supplies to doctors for ad
ministering to those not covered
by the free program.
In a formal statement after the
conference, Mrs. Hobby said sta
tistics showed that an estimated
25,600,000 children can be vaccin
ated by July 1, but that almost
no commercial supplies are avail
able now. The free school pro
gram is getting the first' quanti
ties.
Margin Requirement
Raised to 70% to Check
Stock Market Credit
WASHINGTON, MV-Investors,
starting last Saturday, must put
up at least" 70 percent cash in
buying stocks.
The Federal Reserve Board on
Friday night boosted margin re
quirements from 60 percent in a
move designed to check the use of
credit on the rising stock market.
This was the second such increase
in less than four months. On Jan.
5 the board raised margin re
quirements from 50 to 60 percent.
| First reaction on Wall Street
was a forecast that the market
probably would decline when it
reopens Monday, then recover a
few days later. One observer said
the increase is “not large enough
to change the course of the mar
ket.”
