WASHINGTON, Feb 1. The Administration has defeated the all- out foes of Henry Wallace by fore ing delay in the Senate considera- ton of his Cabinet nomination through a delay which may extend for weeks
 Wallace packers hoped to win his ultimate confirmation by stripping the Commerce Department of it's huge lending agencies and beating down the 43 to fl vote attempt of Senator Josiah w. Bailey, Demo- crat, North Carolina, to force im- mediate consideration of the ap- pointment
 The Senate leadership obtained the George bill, measure designed to set up the Reconstruction Finance Corporation and other lending agencies, as a separate administra- tion. Wallace supporters have con- ceded that unless the bill becomes law or the President takes the lend ing agencies out of the Commerce Department by executive order. Wal lace cannot be confirmed in the Cabinet post,

i LONDON, Feb. 1-Russians, With fast paced tanks and infantry, smashed today at the banks of the Oder River, northwest of Kustrin, a point 39 miles Or closer from Berlin.
 The German command reported it was possible the Russians were even closer than 39 miles, for the German communique didn't give the exact location or penetration. 1 The Oder River swings within 28 miles of Berlin northwest of Kus- trin, but immediately northwest of Kustrin it is 39 miles from Berlin. ! It seemed more than likely that 1 the Point Kustrin vicinity meant the eastern edge of Rustrin itself
 One of the chief defenses of the capital was reached by swift SO- viet punches rapidly spreading the fires of war to the heart of the Reich.
 Said a German broadcast Tt is smash at Berlin's greatest de- lenses" but at the center of his spearhead is the 40-mile wide Frankfurt salient, between the Oder and Warthe Rivers.
 The German command said 1t had hurled in it's reserves to halt the invading columns which already had broken through the defense shield g miles east of Frankfurt.
 Red Air Fleet planes raked Berlin and Frankfurt highways Moscow dispatches said Nazi prisoners re- ported panic in Berlin because German civilians believed the air mems red flares were artillery flashes.
 Officially, Moscow placed the closest Soviet approach to Berlin at 63 miles, but an Associated Press dispatch from Moscow virtually confirmed German reports of a much deeper advance.
 The Germans were reported dynamiting. smelling and bombing the Oder in frantic effort to break up the natural ice bridges.
 Toughness of the Oder defenses, Berlin suggested by the fact that several days have now elapsed since the Russians reported any appre- ciable progress from their Oder River bridgeheads on both sides of Breslau, Silesia

The W ashingto Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON fLt. Col. Robert S. Allen now on active service with the Army.)

WASHINGTON-M of the 400 Congressmen who crowded into the Coolidge Auditorium of the Library of Congress for what was supposed to be a top-secret off-the-record talk on the war went away with feeling that they had wasted their time. The words of Admiral Ernest King, chief of naval operations, and Army Chief of Staff Gen. George Marshall might have been of interest to a Congressional gathering, but to Congress which already follows the war carefully, it was disappointing.
 Congressmen concluded that the hush-hush meeting was actually arranged to boost Congressional support for work or-fight legisla- tion.
 As for the constant admonitions of Admiral King that this must not go beyond this room,' Con- gressmen figured this was nothing more than good theatre.
 Secretary of War Stimson and Secretary of the Navy Forrestal opened with brief introductions of Marshall and King. Many Con- gressmen, knowing of Kings un- popularity on the Hill, grinned as Forrestal went out of his way to build up King as the man the late Secretary Frank Knox selected as naval chief ''only after consulta- ton with dozens of naval officers who had worked with him and other outstanding naval leaders. J tFor a long time King and Knox scarcely spoke.)
 Forrestal dwelt on Kings strong silent" qualities, explaining that the Admiral is mot a good taIker or good mixer" but an ace as naval chief Even those who don't know King were mystified by the introduction.
 King then spoke from a prepared script, declaring that the United States is today the great naval power of the world. In our engage ments with the Japanese, he said, we have suffered more damage than is generally known, but for tunately the Japs have not known about our damage in time to capi- talize on our temporary weakness.

 GEN. MacARiHUR'S HEAD QUARTERS, Luzon Island, Feb. l. The Eighth Army Troops secured Subie Bay, including Olongapo Ma val Base, Tuesday without opposi- tion and the U. s. Seventh Fleet then entered, while to the east the Sixth Army seized Calumpit, cross ed the Pampanga River and were 28 road miles from Manila.
 The good harborage of Subic Bay will serve as an excellent repair base for the fleet.
 Occupancy of Subic Bay also in cluded the unimpeded occupation ot Grande Island, Subic's Little Cor regidor.7 American guns which were defending Grande Island when it fell to the Japanese in 1922, were recaptured and were in fairly good shape
 Olongapo base was found dotted with dugouts and pillboxes, all abandoned.
 The surge of the Sixth Army into Calumpit and an advance of Is miles southward down Pampanga Province, carried motorized units and the Fourteenth Army Corps saf- ely through the narrow stretch of land compressed between two swamps, and beyond, plains are open wide to Manila, with no good de- lenses for the enemy in between.
 The Sixth Army columns advan- ced 10 miles southwest of San Fer nando toward the juncture with the Eighth Army which would seal oil Bataan Peninsula.
 Eighth Army Units landed on Grande Island at the entrance to Subic Bay whose waters can supply the U. s. Seventh Fleet with a fine base.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The Vet erans Administration is almost ready to cut loose another phase of the CT Bill of Rights-loans to veterans who want to go into business for themselves.
 As I pointed out some days ago in discussing the loans for farms and farm improvements, these GI Bill of Rights loans are going to be tough to get. There is discour- aging amount of red tape involved and some injustices are certain to follow. This is a result of two pronged caution: to protect the veteran and to protect Uncle sam
 These loans aren't a dole, bonus, or any kind of gift. If veteran wants to wander off into his fox hole dreams without any other equipment than hope and a hay idea, he'll have to get his money elsewhere.
 They are hard-fisted business loans, designed to assure compet- ent veteran that if money is his only obstacle he can have that to get back on his feet in an indivi- dual enterprise.
 All other things being equal, the loans are easy money" The gov- ernment will guarantee half the loan up to $4,000 (that is to total amount of s2,000 and will pay the interest for the first year)

these cases does the government make any direct loan. The lender may be a bank, savings and loan association, insurance or mortgage companies, private investor, friend or relative of the veteran, or even an owner of a business selling out to a veteran. Those are the ones who have to put up the money. The government merely acts as guaran- tor.
 The veteran must be honorably discharged after 90 days service (unless he was discharged in less time than that for service connect cd disabilities) He must prove that there is a reasonable assur- ance of his success. The business, it's location. and the properties in- volved must be thoroughly investi- gated to make certain there is req sonable expectation of good return on the investment. The veterans ability. integrity and credit record have to measure up.
 The loans can't be used to buy inventories on the shelves or as working capital, such as meeting the weekly or monthly payroll. They can't even be used to put new stocks on the shelves.
