 here. Judge Samuel I. Rosenman of New York, special counsel to the late President Roosevelt, will aban- don his White House desk by June 15 He plans to open law offices in New York.
 David K Niles of Massachusetts, one of the political manipulators among MT. Roosevelt's White House associates. also is understood to be on the way out.
 Hopkins probably will begin to fade from the political scene when hsi diplomatic duties are discharged. His mission to Moscow appears to be to seek some mutual agreement with Marshal Josef V. Stalln on some of the points covered by the last Big Three conference at Yalta. Hopkins accompanied MT. Roose- welt on all such expeditions. He already has left for Moscow.
 The White House also announced that Joseph E. Davies, one of the Wealthiest Democrats, shortly Will depart on a special temporary dip I lomatic mission to London. Davies long has been eager for the per manent ambassadorial post there, The Davies Hopkins missions seem ed in some ways to be make-snl1t substitutes for an immediate Big Three meeting.
 Congress uniformly applauded the cabinet changes announced yesterday. There were cheers for the announcement that responsibill- ties of the secretary of agriculture and the war food administrator would be given one individual
 The cabinet changes-With more to come sharply shifted the center of administration gravity toward the west. The three changes yester- day were:
 Attorney General Francis Riddle, Pennsylvania, to be succeeded June 30 by Assistant Attorney General Tom C. Clark of Texas.
 Secretary of Agriculture Claude A Wickard of Indiana, to be suc- ceeded by Rep. Clinton P. Ander- son. D., N. M. Anderson will take over. as soon as Wickard can be confirmed as elecuification admin istrator. a post to which the presl- dent immediately will nominate him.
 Secretary of Labor Frances Per kins, of New York, to be succeeded by Federal Judge Lewis B. Swollen bach of Washington state. SchWal- lenbach, staunch New Dealer, was MT. Truman'S senate crony prior to his nomination to the bench.
 Hannegan for Walker
 Resignation of Postmaster Gen. eral Frank c. Walker, of Pennsyl- vania, was announced last month. He will be succeeded June 30 by Missourian, Chairman Robert E. Hannegan of the Democratic na- tional committee.
 Hannegan'S nomination has been confirmed by the senate which must also confirm all three new nomina- tions before they can become effec- | tive.
 Also announced yesterday was the resignation of Judge Marvin Jones, of Texas, as war food administra- tion. Jones will return to his post as judge on the court of claims
 Secretary of Interior Harold IckeS is the last survivor of the original Roosevelt cabinet which took office on March 4, 1883. Miss Perkins also was a Roosevelt original.
 Speculation regarding further resignations involved Ickes and, in fact, every other holdover cabinet member except Secretary of Com merce Henry A. Wallace.
 Good politics would require MT. Truman to keep Wallace even if he did not want him. However there is no particular evidence that the Iowan is an unwelcome guest.
 There is no doubt that Wallace speaks for and can lead a consider able body of left wing voters. A vigorous Wallace bolt wou-d pretty surely prevent the election of Democratic presidential candidate in 1948 Wallace's job is safe.
 MT. Truman was asked about the State and Treasury Departments at ll4o llCNS COlllCl GlltS TIC SdlN lIt would not have accepted Secretary of Treasury Henry Morgenthaus resignation if it had been offered He said he contemplated no changes at the State Department.
 But Morgenthau is believed to be one of those slated ultimately to go. There would be no change, of course. during a war bond drive such as that now underway.
 There is considerable pressure on the president also to find other en- ployment for Secretary of State Edward R. Stettinius, Jr principal ly because he has no established party organization identity and would succeed to the White House in the event of MT. Trumans death
 It would be no reflection on Stet- tinius if he were relieved under such circumstances. If he goes 1t will be after Senate action on the San Francisco Conference agree ment
