The fall of Labiszyn also outflanked Torun, 29 miles to the east, already threatened by Marshal Konstantin K. Rokossovsky's 2d White Russian army.

But some of the most cautious conservative Southern senators were predicting privately today that Wdllace would be rejected unless the administration agreed to separate vast federal lending operations from the commerce department.

Mr. Roosevelt told Jones the former vice president had earned the cabinet post by his 1944 campaign efforts,
Interested senators pleaded with Mr. Roosevelt before that action was taken to give Wallace .commerce, but to separate the lending agencies so that they could be left with Jones, Mr. Roosevelt refused. The nomination scarcely had reached the senate yesterday when Senator Walter F. George (D. Ga.) introduced a bill to separate the department fromthe lending agencies. He said “frankly that he did not think Wallace's experience warranted puttifig billions of dollars of government loan investments under his control for administration and ultimate disposition. “I have no disposition to object to anyone as a member of the cabinet,” George told reporters. “But, with respect to these lending agen-

George suggested — and it looks like the idea is taking hold—that his bill be considered before "the senate undertakes to pass on Wallace’s qualifications for the commerce department. In other words, a compromise is a short department and offend Mr. Roosevelt more than a little. He probably would veto a bill depriving Wallace of some of the major powers exercised as secretary by Jones.
See Rough Going
But many conservative southerners privately agreed with George that the going would be rough for the former vice president. Bailey, like George, is a conservative who frequently has battled the administration,
