GEORGE PROPOSAL

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-(UP)
President Roosevelt has signed
the George Bill divorcing FEEDER
al lending agencies from the COM
merce Department and removing
the last major obstacle to Senate
confirmation Of Henry A. Wallace
to the Commerce post, it was DIS
closed today.
Mr.. Roosevelt signed the meas
ure last Saturday aboard an
American cruiser en- route home
from the Big Three Crianea Con-
ference. The Wallace nomination,
fought by a Observation-Disclosures
ic coalition on grounds the form
er vice president is not qualified,
is scheduled to be voted on by
the Senate tomorrow.
Administration leaders are pre-
dieting confirmation but at least
two COP senators, Robert A. Taft,
O., and Kenneth Wherry, Neb., will
speak in opposition. Senate demo-
cratic leader Alben W. Barley
said Wallace would win by 10 to
20 votes.
Congress passed the George
bill - sponsored by Sen. Walter
F. George, D-Ga)-as a compro-
mise solution of the fight against
Wallace. The dispute was start
ed when Mr.. Roosevelt dlscharg-
ed Federal Loan Administrator
Jesse Jones and gave Wallace
political reward" appointment as
his successor. Objections to Wal
lace as loan administrator were
so vigorous that it became evident
he could not win confirmation as
long as the lending powers went
along with the Commerce job.
The President helped solve the
crisis by promising to sign the
George bill if it was passed. Wal
lace said he wanted both jobs but
would accept the Commerce post
with or without Jones powers.

STIMSON REFUTES
HINES TESTIMONY

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.-(P)-
Testimony by Veterans Admins
traitor Frank 7. Hines that the War
Department plans to release from
100000 to 100000 soldiers monthly
after Gerrnany's defeat was de-
scribed as without foundation
today by, Secretary Stimson.
Stinson said in a statement
that the basic elements in the War
Department rehabilitation plan
were made public last September
6 and have not been changed.
Hines, testifying before the
House Appropriations Committee
recently, said the War Depart
ment contemplates releasing from
100000 to 100000 men a month"
after We Day.
Said Stimson:
when hostilities cease in Eu-
rope, the War Department in
tends to marshal against the Jap
anese every soldier and every item
of equipment that can be used eff
fectively to speed our final vic
tory"
This means, Stimson added, that
shipping priority will be given to
the transfer of men and materials
to the Pacific areas. Describing
this as a tremendous undertake
ing, Stimson said that it must be
done with all possible speed and
vigor Or we will pay heavy price
in the higher casualties of a long
er Japanese war"
Stimson added that all speed
consistent with the military situa-
ton will be observed in returning
men who can be released from the
Army overseas.
But" he added, "any sugges-
ton that large numbers will be
coming home for discharge immc-
diately after the fighting stops in
Europe can only lead to cruel dis
appointment

GESTApO STORY
 NOW UNF0LDED
 AT 10TH CENTURY

A startling drama, literally breath taking in it's revelations concerning conditions in present-day Germany is promised in Women in Bondage which opens an engagement at the 10th Century Theatre tonight.
 Gail Patrick and Nancy Kelly arc seen in the co-starring roles, head ing an exceptional cast which in- cludes Bill Henry, Tala Birell, Ger trude Michael Alan Baxter, Rita Quigley, Maris Wrixon, Felix Basch Anne Nagel, Mary Forbes, H. B Warner and many other popular screen players.
 The action of the story details the fiendish cruelties and the low cred standards of morality which have been forced on the women of the Reich under the Hitler regime resulting in a complete breakup of family life as it affects the rising generations.
 During the progress of the story both Miss Patrick and Miss Kelly re- sist the Nazi regime in differing ways, and both are made to suffer the cruel punishment of the ruthless Gestapo The entire film constitutes a revealing expose of conditions which are little realized by the out side world.
