SUMMARY:World War II cartoon shows Montgomery Ward Board Chairman Sewell Avery gleefully watching Attorney General Francis Biddle and Assistant Attorney General Norman M. Littell fighting inside the Department of Justice. In November 1944, after Biddle had asked for his resignation, Littell accused Biddle of improperly interfering in a Justice Department case involving long time New Dealer, Thomas E. Corcoran. The next day, President Roosevelt fired Littell for insubordination. Avery''s grudge against Biddle stemmed from an incident when Avery refused to accept a government ruling requiring Montgomery Ward to accept a labor union, and Biddle had the board chairman carried out of the building in his own chair. The cartoonist suggests the loser in the Justice Dept. dispute may suffer the same fate. MEDIUM:1 drawing. CREATED/PUBLISHED:1944 Nov. 30. CREATOR: Berryman, Clifford Kennedy, 1869-1949, artist.
