Use of Rio de Oro Airport Acquired Spanish African Colony Is Mostly Wasteland and Desert Washington, Jan. 2 Rio de Oro, Spain's West African desert colony where the United States has acquired commercial use of an airport, earned an evil reputation in earlier days of aviation, ssrys the National Geographic Society.

Flyers forced down in this Nevada-size wilderness were robbed, held for ransom, or killed by outlaws. The colony extends 800 mites along the African coast south from French Morocco. It is bordered on the south and east by the Mauritania of French West Africa and has a short northeastern frontier with Algeria. Inland it is mostly a dry, desert lowland rising to a 600-foot plateau in the northeast. Population is estimated all the way from 200,000 to 100,000 and consists principally of mixed Berber and Arab tribes who raise cattle, and camels on the move.

Spanish rule is administered by the governor of the-Canary Islands, which lie 60 250 miles offshore. Villa Cisneros, site of the airport included in the new commercial air agreement, is home of the local vice! governor and about 500 Situated near the southern ertd the colony's coast, it consists of a square Spanish fort, a few flat- topped white buildings, a large hangar and field, and a tent settlement of natives. Lying on a spit of land between the arm of the sea known as the Rto de Oro and the Atlantic Ocean, Villa Cisneros Is an old trading center and fishing port with caravan trade inland over desert traits. Its new importance stems from Its position on new intercontinental sky and sea routes. Pish are about the colony's only export.

There is no river of gold. The Rio do Oro is not a river, but a 18-mlle-long bay named by Portuguese traders five centuries ago, when bartered for gold dust with the river reaching across Africa from the Nile. Except in the rainy season, between June and October, 'the rivers are dry beds. is fi plant for distilling fresh water from Ihe eea at Cabo Vubi, and drinking water also Is brought (ram the Canary Islands.

Bottle Of 80 89" MONTGOMERY WARDS ANSWER TO THE ORDER OF SEIZURE BY THE PRESIDENT The order of the President to effect the seizure of the property and business of Montgomery Ward is a violation of the Constitution of the United States, which the President has sworn to uphold and defend. The Congress, which is the sole law-making authority under the Constitution, has given the President no power to, seize the non-war business of Montgomery Ward. The purpose of the President's order is to enforce, by an exercise of arbitrary power, orders of the War Labor Board which the courts have declared to be merely advisory and legally unenforceable. The courts have held that anyone who to comply with orders of the War Labor Board is not defying a command of the Government and that, since the orders are merely advisory no Government official has' the right to impose punishments on those who do not comply.

The Presidents' order does not arise from any failure on Wards part to pay fair wage rates. Wards policy, is; and has been to pay wages as high as or higher than those paid by other employers in the community for similar employment. Wards only objection to any of the War Labor Board's wage recommendations has been in those instances where the board has arbitrarily demanded that Wards substantially increase its rates above those of its competitors in the highly competitive retail field. The President has ordered the Army to restrict the liberties of Wards em- ployes by imposing upon them the closed shop In the form of union maintenance. This is the final step in the coercion used by the administrative agencies of the Government to force the closed shop upon employers and employees throughout the nation.

Wards has long believed that when the public awakens to the extent of this coercion, it will rise in indignation. Wards defense of the freedom of its employees has not been prompted by any feeling of anti-unionism. AI! employees at Wards are free to join or not to join a union, as they wish. Wards fully recognizes this privilege and has assured all employees that their opportunity with the company will be the same whether they are union members or not. Wards cannot in good citizenship accept or obey the commands of those who have-no legal power to give them and who are seeking to deprive Wards of its constitutional rights and liberties.

Wards takes this position in defense of fhe constitutional rights and liberties of every citizen of the United States. The issues are now before the courts, where Wards has sought for two years to have them decided. Wards welcomes the opportunity to present its case to courts. MONTGOMERY WARD A CO. 8EWELL AVERT.
