CONTINUED Prom First PAGE. )

Gratis, many from the South, and
Republicans is In position to domi-
nate the situation. It. was such q
coalition, that on the first day OF
the new Congress, approved over
administration opposition Mr.. RAN
kin's resolution establishing per-
manent standing Committee on I'M
American Activities. Republican
members of the House indicated
they would 60 down the line with
Mr.. Rankin on his move against
Mr.. Wallace.
A majority of the Senate Is un-
willing to vote confirmation Of the
Wallace nomination unless the
George bill has first become law.
The House Banking Committee
will meet Tuesday to begin consid-
Grafton of the George bill and de-
eide whether to hold hearings. Rep
|resentative .Wolcott, Republican, Of
Michigan is preparing amendments
which would make it impossible to
transfer to the Commerce Depart
ment loan agencies of the Govern
ment other than those now under
the department, and to prevent the
Secretary OF Commerce from serv-
ing as an ex-ofnco member Of the
board Of trustees Of the Export
Import Bank. A move to amend the
bill to take away from the President
certain authority given him under
the War Powers Act also is afoot.
Question of Veto Raised.
II the bill should be so amended,
the question arises whether the
President would veto the measure.
He has given assurance, in a mes
sage to Majority Leader Barkley,
he would approve the George bill
as 1t passed the Senate. If an

amended bill fails to become law.
then the Senate would be back In
Its original position and have to vote
on the wallace nomination with the
RIG still attached to the Commerce
Department. Senator Pepper, DEM
ocrnt, Of Florida, q Wallace sup
porter, contends that the President
could cure the situation by issuing
an executive order removing the
ERFC from the Commerce Depart
ment. But whether this would
satisfy : majority Of the Senate IS
in doubt.
Whether or not the George bill Is
amended, II It Is recommitted the
situation would become more and
more involved. and certainly might
delay confirmation Of Mr.. Wallace
as Secretary Of Commerce for q
long time.
Senator Barkley put. through a
motion In the Senate ito postpone
action on the Wallace nomination
until March /. He announced in
the Senate at that time he would
move further postponement If
the House had not acted on the
George bill by that date. He said
yesterday that he thought new
spirit Of cooperation" had grown
up among the Democrats.
Senator Pepper said he was en-
couraged by the fact that National
Chairman Robert e. Hannegan and
Mr.. Wallace had been brought to-
|gether again during the controversy.
Senator Byrd, Democrat, Of Vir-
ginia said the administration need
not think that it is going to have
clear sailing in the future.
I'VE may have lost the fight to
prevent Mr.. Wallace's confirmation
as Secretary OF Commerce" he said,
but we have put the country on
notice as to the issues involved. I
don't think the people of the coun-
TRY want Wallace to have control
Iof the vast lending authority In
volved in the RFC setup, and I be-
lieve We have stopped that.
This scrap is going on" he con-
tinued. There are fundamental
principles involved, and we intend
to keep fighting for them"

niier Pierlot closeted himself today
with his, advisers.
Foreign Minister Paul Henri
Spaak, who had intended to 60 to
Paris Tuesday for discussion Of
French and Belgian relations, called
on the trip, ct least until after the
debate.
This pointed up the seriousness
OF the internal question, since Bel
gtans have been increasingly con-
ccrned about relations with the
French, and especially what Gen.
de Gaulle proposes to do about that
strip Of Germany lying between the
Rhine and Belgium.

Parks Catches Biyins
Out Of Best Shape
And Ring Rusty (

The chips are down for George
Parks in Uline Arena tomorrow
night and the young Negro heavy
weight never will have another op-
portunity so excellent to jump into
the top brackets of the heavy
weight division. He is getting a
shot at Jimmy Bivins, the highly
rated Cleveland heavy, at a time
when Bivins is overweight and not
in top form because of lack of ring
activity recently.
Parks has had his ups and downs
since he hit the headlines with a
KO of Nate Bolden in Chicago, and
at times has been rated as boxer
who didn't make the full use of his
talents as great right-handed hit
ter. Lately, however, It's a greatly
improved George the fans have seen
in the fighter who went 10 close
rounds with Melio Bettina and re-
Gently whipped Terry Randolph de-
cisively.
A win over Bivins, ranked by
Joe Louis as we'll as many boxing
men as the outstanding heavyweight
now active, would catapult Parks
into national prominence and big
money bouts. And ringworms who
saw both boxers train at the Lib
erty A. c. this week feel that
George has good chance of TAX
Ing him.
Bivins, as visiting fireman, Ar
turo Godoy put it, appears to be of
stride and lacks his usual co-ordina-
ton, and, in fact. Senor Godoy even
used the word "blubbery" in his de-
scription.
Such comment, of course, infuri-
ates Bivins, one Of the most savage
Of present day ringmen, who feels
that he can score a KO over the
local lad. However, the tipoff to
the way Bivins and his manager,
Claude Shane, actually regard
Parks is the clause In the fight
contract that stipulates a return
bout within 80 days in the event
George scores tomorrow night.

backing up tomorrow nights main

Seven of the eleven Delaware ra-

January 1, in accordance with the
new OPA "streamlined" setup, a
Delaware OPA official revealed. He
stated, however, that the seven
boards to be discharged would not
be determined for a few days. The
number of boards throughout the
nation will be reduced from GAO to
1874, it was disclosed by Leo F.
Gentner, acting regional OPA ad-
ministrator. He told representa-
tives of Retail Trade Associations
that the "OPA is streamlining its
operations because rationing has
been curtailed and will continue to
be as supplies increase" Under
the new plan, only one board per
county will be permitted, with one
in Wilmington which will leave
Delaware with four boards. These
will be known as Price Control
Boards. They will be manned by
volunteers.

IOP A EXTENDS
TENANT NOTICE
Six Months Notice Must Be
Given To Tenants Asked
To Move
PROTECT SERVICE MEN

Tenants in a rented house must
generally be given six months no.
tice before being evicted from a
house which has been sold to a per-
son who wishes to occupy it, ac-
cording to an OPA ruling announc-
ed Monday night by Charles w.
Hardesty, Delaware OPA director.
He pointed out that the new direc-
tive in Delaware is in accordance
with the national rulings. ITO pro-
tect tenants in areas where they
cannot find rental housing in their
price range during this critical
transition period, the Office OF
Price Administration has tightened
its eviction requirements" John L.
Walmsley, area rent director, said.
Recently, record numbers of sales
of real estate involving rental
properties, particularly single-fam-
lily units, have seriously reduced
the number of houses available for
rent. Families who are told to
move become desperate because
they cannot find another place to
live. Often this results in the ten
ant buying house he doesn't want
and can't afford. Or, the tenant
makes side payments to his land
lord in evasion of rent regulations.
The time extension should relieve
this pressure. Special protection is
provided for returning service men
who need to buy their living quart
ers. In their case, the waiting
period may be waived or reduced,
depending on the circumstances
and needs in each case SO that re-
turning service men and their fam
lilies may be united again. Several
other changes have been made to
stop evasions of evictions and to
give tenants maximum protection
without unduly curtailing the
rights of owners over their proper
ties" Mr.. Walmsley urged all ten
ants living in this rental area to
notify the area rent Office prompt
ly when they are told that they
must move.

ROAD WORK
ON BOULEVARD
Smyrna to Dover Traffic Will
Travel On North Bound
Lane; Speed Reduced
WORK STARTED MONDAY

Southbound traffic on the Du-
Pont Highway from Smyrna to
Dover was detoured, beginning
Monday, over the northbound lane,
which then became two-way
road, and the speed limits reduced
during widening and resurfacnig of
the southbound lane. The State
Highway Commission, after ap-
proving award of the contract for
the work, authorized Chief Engin-
eer w. w. Mack to place the de-
tour in effect and speed zoning,

day giving notice of the change.
Passenger automobiles and trucks
under 5000 pounds gross weight
will be limited to As miles an hour
and trucks over 5000 pounds will
be required to stay within 40 miles
an hour. Because of the unaccus-
toned use of the northbound lane
as a two-way lane, highway offic-
ials warned the travelling public to
obey the temporary speed limits
and to exercise the utmost of eau
tion to safeguard themselves and
others from accidents. They asked
that they comply strictly with the
rules of the road. The contract
was awarded by the Highway De-
partment to George and Lynch,
whose bid was S167 ,9S3.50. The
detour will be from the south linn
