WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. —(Af—
A rift occurred today in the cloud-
ed outlook for legislation affecting
the government future of former
jfjcjfej&mldaumguDk * ^Wattm*.
A sign of compromise appeared
in the turmoil-ridden House rules
committee, now holding the Senate-
passed George bill This measure
divorces the multi-billion dollar Re-
construction Finance Corporation
and other loan agencies from the
Commerce Department. Wallace
supporters concede that he will be
rejected for commerce secretary un-
less the George bill te passed before
the Senate votes on his confirma-
tion. . . '
Rep. Cox (D-Oa*. rules commit-
tee member and vigorous opponent
ot Wallace, indicated he would vote
to clear the bill for floor considera-
tion if assured the House under
normal procedures can vote on an
amendment depriving the commerce
secretary of his seat on the Export-
Import Bank Board
This development came as threat-
ened shelving of the bill in the
rules committee caused Democratic
leaders to weigh measures for toss-
ing the legislation on the House
floor, by an unusual procedure cir-
cumventing the rules committee
The principal issue in the com-
mittee revolves about w Republican-
sponsored amendment to the bill by
Senator George <D-Oa> stripping
President Roosevelt of his extraor-
dinary war powers to reshuffle fed-
eral agencies.
Such an amendment would not
be permitted on the floor except
by a special rule changing regular
House procedures, as it would revoke.
part of the war powers act.
With anti-Wallace Republicans
and Democrats In control, the rules
committee went through an unroar-
ious session yesterday. Tempers
flared, and Cox charged that there
had been a "horse trade" between
the Senate and president whereby
the Senate would not pass on con-
firmation of Wallace as commerce
secretary until RFC is divorced from
that department.

The present gratifying Allied
progress in Europe doesn t neces-
sarily mean victory is just around
the corner, or that we shall reach
it by any royal route.
We ought to recognize this from
the fierce resistance the Muscovites
are encountering iunong the de-
fenses of the Oder River, and from
the hard going the Western Allies
are finding in the Inhospitable, wa-

been continuously in progress, and

all walks of life.” He continue*:.
“How many Thousands have been
murdered may never be known It
has been learned from reliable
sources that no les* than 30 Indi-
viduals are still being executed
daily at Dortmund. Snd a compar-
able toll is evidently being taken in
many other German cities Even ■
an anonymous denunciation to the
effect that a person has expressed
doubt is to the possibility ot Ger-
many’s winning the war is sufficient
to send the accused to the execution
