Wallace Fate Goes
10 Rules Committee
Nominee Faces Known
Mojority Opposition

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9 -
(R - The Congressional con-
troversy. over the Government
future of Henry A. Wallace
marched today into the House
Rules Committee, where a ma
jority admittedly opposes him.
However. before the power
full committee opened public
hearings Speaker Rayburn 3D.
Tex) personally interviewed to
forestall shelving there of the
George Bill. This Bill would
clear the way for the former
vice-president to become secre-
tary of a commerce department
shorn of RFC and other loan
agencies.
: The Anti-Wallace faction had
hoped to put on ice in the COM
mite the Senate-approved leg
islation by Senator George 3D.
GAY, and thereby bring about
outright Senate rejection of
Wallace, in a vote of confirma-
ton as commerce secretary and
head of RFC.
Now it appears the committee
will vote, sometime next week,
to let the George Bill 60 on the
House floor for a vote, but un-
der a special rule allowing a
vote on an amendment taking
away President Roosevelt's
war power to reassign Federal
agencies.
Wallace opponents want this
amendment, they say, to make
sure the President assigns no
duties to the former vice-presi-
dent other than those of bob
tailed commerce department.
They also want an amendment
removing the commerce secre-
tary as a member of the Ex-
port-Import Bank Board.
These amendments, dealing
with matters apart from the
Commerce Department, could
not be attached to the George
Bill without special rule max
ing them germane.

LANSING, Feb. 9-(R-The
issue of whether Prosecutor
Donald c. Noggle, of Oakland
county, may participate in court
action against gambling conspir-
acy case defendants who con-
tributed to his political cam
paign fund neared some sort of
climax today, following a day
Of confusing developments.
Circuit Judge George B. Hart
rick, of that county, announced
here Thursday that he has asked
Attorney General John r. Deth-
mers to investigate the case, in
Guiding Noggle's contentious
that he did not know the source
Of the money when he received
it.
Promptly. however, Dethmers
told news men that the Judge
had not asked him to investi-
gate, and that their converse
ton had been confined to the
question of whether Dethmers
should assign an Assistant At.
torney General to supplant OF
assist Noggle in the case.
JOINT ACTION
Hartrick told newsmen here
that he and the other two judges
of the Oakland Circuit have
decided to exclude" Noggle
from further handling of the
conspiracy case, and have an
nounced formally that their de-
cision grew from desire that the
prosecution staff shou d be
"above suspicion of involve
ment."
He said he and Judges H. Rus
sci Holland and Frank l.. Doty,
his colleagues, have had some
discussion Of a grand jury in
quiry, but lack sufficient infor-
nation to guide them at present,
and that he had asked Dethmers
to make an official inquiry in
his capacity of chief of all Mich
igan prosecutors.
Dethmers said that despite the
courts announcement at Pom
tiac that it had asked him to
send an assistant to supplant
Noggle in the case, he has no
formal written request of that
nature. He said he had served
Hartrick that he would assign a
man to the case only upon re-
ceipt of a written request.
PROCEDURE
He said he told Hartrick that
If the court wants an assistant
attorney general to supersede
Noggle as prosecutor in the case,
he will require request of that
nature signed by all three
judges, but that if the court
wants someone to only help
Noggle, he will require a let
ter signed by the three judges
and also by Noggle.
Dethmers said the RESPONSE
bility rested with the courts, not
with him, to decide which it
should be. He made public a
letter signed by the three judi
ges, which he said was the most
explicit formal communication
from them on the subject. The
letter said the judges desire the
services of your office in con-
nection with the trial of certain
criminal cases" and added that
1.-The reason for the request will
be explained personally by
Judge Hartrick."
IN THE BAG?
The judge told newsmen that
guilty pleas by 10 defendants,
accused of a gambling conspir-
acy in a case before him start
ed reports that gamblers Drag
ged that they had the prosecut-
ing officers over barrel" Then,
he said, came disclosure that

With local effort scheduled to close the 18th of this month resi- dents are being entreated to com- bine to assure success of the city, wide campaign. The town of Man. chester, Connecticut with 8 popula- ton of 23,799 thus far has collected 100000 pounds the first municipal ity in the nation to exceed its quota. It originally was striving to- ward an effort of 125,OO0 pounds.
 Members of the Rotary club last night sorted, packed and marked 2,20O pounds of old clothes at the armory as collections from the fire house deposit centers continued steadily. Officials here expressed qualification at the quality of the clothes received so far as well as the major share of serviceable clothing contributed.
 Numerous mems suits, overcoatS and infant and children's shoes have been donated in excellent condition. Those deemed unrecoverable will be torn into strips for use as rags. Don- ors to the campaign are urged to take the following precautions: tie matched shoes together so that they will not become separated and thus lost for use; if the shoes have no laces tie them together with string. In donating gloves one should be stuffed into the other to prevent similar separation.
 A collection will be undertaken to- day from the various firehouses now being used as neighborhood deposit centers. Persons with donations al- ready prepared will be assured that they will be picked up today if de- posted at their neighborhood fire house before 5 D. m. today.

DECREASE NOTED
 IN SALVAGE FATS
Lower Meat Supply Be- lieved Responsible for
 Drop in Contributions

A decrease in civilian meat sup plies in February has been accredit- ed for the local drop in salvage of kitchen fats, according to report by the State Salvage committee.
 Waterbury housewives contributed a total of 12,432 pounds of kitchen fats in February to the drive, the report showed. The amount repre- sented 61 per cent of the city's quota and was a decrease from the collec- tion percentage in January.
 The committee pointed out the allocation of pork, beef, and veal was cut in February, and as a re- suit housewives had to resort to use of substitutes or prepared meats, with less salvage of fats possible.
