ShowdownOn Fourth Term
 Policy Near
Bv LYLE c. WILSON

"dolllLlB LOIl, odIL' A' NS'i - Jubilant senate conservatives esti- mated today that they could defeat the nomination of Henry A. Wallace to be secretary of commerce by a 3 to vote if it is impossible promptly to separate government lending authority from that depart ment. Some of them believe they can lick him under any circum- stances and will try to do so
 Half a dozen times In the history of the Republic has the senate re- jected a presidential nomination to cabinet post. But the Senate Com merce Committee yesterday voted IA to 5 against President Roosevelt's nomination of Wallace. to be con- merce secretary.
 The committee voted Is to for the George bill to separate from the department t he multi-billion dol lar lending agencies which have been attached to 1t during the sec retaryship of Jesse H. Jones'
 These votes add up to signifi- cant repudiation of Wallace and a challenge to the left wing of the New Deal-Democratic party to seek an early showdown on fourth term Roosevelt policies. Conservative sen ate Democrats regard Wallace as Sidney Hillman's man, the prospec- tive 1948 presidential choice of the CIO Political Action Committee. The fight is on against Wallace's rise toward control of the New Deal- Democratic organization created by President Roosevelt.
 Six of the II committee Demo- crats deserted Mir Roosevelt on the question of Wallace'S confirmation Seven of them deserted on the queS- tion of the George Bill. Few pres idents have been so directly repudi- ated by members of their own party on such an issue.
 The committee passed the queS- tions of Wallaces confirmation and Commerce Department powers to the senate for action Chairman Josiah w. Bailey. D., N. C., of the committee indicated that he would seek action next week on the George bill. He said it would be up to Sen ate Democratic Leader Alben w. Barkley, D., Ky, to decide whether or when the senate shall vote on Wallaces nomination.
 The committees unfavorable re- port will be powerful obstacle to his confirmation. But it was regard ed today more as extra insurance against Wallace getting control of the lending agencies now in the de- partment than as any certainty that he ultimately will not be confirmed. Many votes which would be cast against his confirmation prior to passage of the George bill would be cast for confirmation after the lendilig agencies had been placed beyond his, reach.
 Conservative strategy, therefore, will be to speed consideration of the George bill and to delay action on the nomination. To get the nom- ination before the Senate 1t would be necessary for Barkley to move that the Senate proceed to the con- sideration of executive business. Such motion is not debatable. A showdown vote would be taken instantly.
 Senators opposcing Wallace would vote may" and they are confident that there are enough of them to prevent an executive session of the Senate until the George bill has been safely enacted. Such proce-
