Sewell Avery, chairman of the board of Montgomery Ward and company, commenting tonight on Secretary of Commerce Jesse Jones' order ending government possession of the plant, "I think It would be better if Jesse, who is a very strong man, would be here to carry me back from where he took me." Avery told a reporter he attributed the order for the return of the plant to "the indignation of the public which has risen like a. balloon and has made It too hot for the administration." He said the administration was seeking to "avoid the kind of a decision they might get" from Federal Judge William A.

Holly, who was scheduled to rule tomorrow on the legality of government seizure of the properties. Avery said he and other officers of the plant would return to their offices "at the usual time tomorrow." Avery has not been at his office since he was carried from the building by two soldiers April 27 on instruction from government representatives. Avery said a copy of Jones' order was delivered to him at 7 p.m. tonight by John D. Goodloe, government representative at the plant.

Judge Holly could not be reached Immediately to determine whether the order would make any change in his plans to rule tomorrow on the seizure. Attorneys involved in the case declined to give any opinion. Villegas was arrested here this afternoon at the home of his mother.
