Senate is expected to vote on in
connection with the general man.

AS the Senate began the third

might maneuver preliminary vote
before evening on one or two
amendments that would furnish
some indication of the trend toward
compulsory or voluntary job con-
troll systems.
Passage of an amended version of

George Bill Signed,
Clearing Way for
Wallace Decision
Senate May Vote on
Nominee Tomorrow;
Approval Predicted

President Roosevelt has signed
the George bill stripping the Re-
construction Finance Corp. and
other loan agencies from the
Commerce Department, it was
announced at the White House
today.
This paves the way for a final
vote in the Senate tomorrow, or
soon thereafter, on the nomination
of former Vice President Henry A..
Wallace to be Secretary of Com
merce. Confirmation of the ap-
pointment was confidently pre-
dicted by administration leaders.
The President signed the legisla-
ton last Saturday, the White House
said. The measure reached the Chief
Executive while he was homeward
bound from the Big Three confer
ence at Yalta. He had sent word to
Senate Majority Leader Barley
that he would approve the bill.
The George bill, first sponsored by
opponents Of Mr.. Wallace for the
Commerce post. finally was sup
ported by friends of the former Vice
President on the ground that unless
it became law, Senate rejection OF
the nomination was sure.
Was Reported Adversely.
The Wallace nomination was re-
ported adversely from the Senate
Commerce Committee at the same
time it reported the George bill ia
vorably. An effort was made by
opponents of Mr.. Wallace to have
the nomination considered in ad-
vance of the bill. 1t failed on q
tie vote.
The Senate then passed the
George bill by an overwhelming
vote and agreed to- postpone action
on the Wallace nomination until
March 1, in order to give the House
time to act on the bill and the
President to approve it before a
vote on the nomination.
Later the House passed the
George bill, with only two votes cast
against it. A motion to recommit
the measure, however, failed by only
eight votes. Had such a motion
prevailed, the Senate might have
been forced to act on the nomina-
tion-with the loan agencies still
tied in with the Commerce Depart
ment, and might have defeated the
nomination.
Taft Raped Wallace Selection.
Subsequently Senator Taft, Re-
publican, of Ohio launched an at
tack on the Wallace appointment,
declaring that if Mr.. Wallace be-
comes Commerce Secretary all con-
fldence in postwar prosperity would
be destroyed. He pointed out that
the President, if he desires, can
transfer to the Commerce Depart
ment other loan agencies of the
Government with large funds at
their command, even though the
George bill became law.
With the George bill now a law
the President must select new
loan agency head to succeed Jesse
Jones, who was ousted as Secretary
OF Commerce and loan administrator
by the President to give Mr.. Wallace
the place he had requested. A
number of names for the post have
been discussed in published reports
among them those of Fred M. Vim
son, director of economic stabiliza-
ton; Leo T. Crowley, head of the
Foreign Economic Administration
and Edwin w. Pauley, treasurer OF
