said he would not object if the COM
mittee decides to hold up the nom-
nation pending enactment OF my
bill" He added, however, that he
would not request such delay.
Bailey felt that "a large part Of
the difficulty '-opposition to t h
Wallace nomination - would be
eliminated IF we pass the (George)
bill"
Bailey and Sen. Tom Connally
d. Tex.) were understood to have
advised Mr.. Roosevelt last week
before he made the nomination that
Wallace would stand better
chance if lending functions were di.
vorced from the Commerce De
partment. Such an arrangement
with Jones staying on as head Of
the RFC and related lending agen
cies, was said to have been &C
ceptable to Jones at the time.
Senate opposition to giving Wal.
lace control over the lending agen
cies followed the blueprint tacitly
suggested last night by Jones who
bowling to Mr.. Roosevelt's wishes
nonetheless bluntly told the Presi
dent that he did not consider Wal
lace capable of handling the multi
million-dollar agencies.
The bill would divorce the RVC
and all other lending agencies from
