Mon. OI Different Type

' as WILLIAM iruutis CHICAGO (AP) - What execu-

of theta isn't any pattern. No man could hardly have more dissimilar backgrounds.

Dewell Avery. S1. Ward's chair- man. has been a leading Chicago executive for the last half century. son of a waalt Mlchlg lumberman. he got h first Job with a gypsum company.

When a bunch of little gypsum colnpanles,were mer ed by J. P. Morgan and Co. into nlted States Gypsum. Avery became an execu- tive with tho new com any. He was made president in 1 . had a remarkable r e c o r d and was brouwhi over by Morgan to run War '9 in 1031.

Louis E. Wolfson. who is chal- lenging A v e r y 'a leadership at Ward's. was born in St. Louis 1011. When he was 14 months old. the fam moved to Jacksonville. Fla. His ether was a Russian im- ?.Ir(cll'lnt who ran a successful junk

COUNTING MILLIONS

In 1082. on a borrowed 010.000 young Wolfson founded the Florida

i and Supply Co. He has been p ing up the millions since. His companies include Merritt-Chap- man and Scott. Devoe and Ray- nolds and Capital Transit of Wash- ington, D.C. -

Avery is described by his friends as a man with great charm, quick at repartee and able to produce ripples of laughter among assem- bled stockholders.

Wolfson is the deadly serious type. Humor and wittlclams are not his line.

Wolfson announced his intention of overthrowing Averyls control of Ward's last August. pointing to- ward the annual stockholders meeting April 22. This ambition has produced what is rapidly be- comin the biggest and bitterost financ al battle in years.

TELLING DEVELOPMENTS

These have been some of the most telling developments:

1. A ruling by a federal circuit judge in Chica o's that Ward's method of elect ng directors is il- legal. out of a nine-man board of directors. three are elected each year. it's known as a "stagger ayaiem." Ward's has ?ppealed this ruling to the Illlnos Supreme Court.

This point is extremely impor- tant to Wolfson. If the stagger sys- tam is upheld, the best he can do this year is get three members on the nine-member board. However, if he did get three he would oust Avery. who is one of the three up for re-election.

if Avery is defeated. it's con- caivable the other pro-Avera'direc- tore might resign and let olfson take control. '

2. A boost in the regular quar- terly divided rate on Ward's stock. The company now is paying 75 cents a share quarterly. com- pared to 50 cents previously.

Wolfson has called this a ”politi- cal dividend." with the clear im- plioation it was put through to rustle up is few votes for Avery.

BUY UP IIIABEI

I. A proposal by Wolfson that, if elected. he will recommend that Ward's buy up to 2,000,000 shares of stock from shareholders at book

Some States Will Continue Daylight Time To October

NEW YORK (AP) - Daylight time in the United States likely will extend through October this year in the six New England states. New York and New Jersey.

In some states -Pennsylvania. Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Ken- tucky. for example - the cities go . on fast time. But, as in most of Canada. the rural areas generally refuse to push the clock ahead one hour from the last Sunday in April to the last Sunday in September.

This car those dates are April 34 to pt. 25. The south, southwest, central

plains states and far west-except Nevada and California -- take a dim View of daylight time.

Maine extended EDT through October last year. A legislative bill now is in the works to make the one-month xtension perma- ment.

Massachusetts also enacted a law last year extending EDT through October. Vermont ends, EDT in September but the gov-. ernor may extend it to conform with neighboring states.

The legislatures of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut have October -- extension bills in the works. All three states seem in favor.

In Canada there has been no discussion of extending the day- light time beyond Sept. 25.

Alberta and Prince Edward Is- land have laws forbidlng day- light time. Elsewhere some rural areas and a few cities and towns ignore the time change.
