"The National Foundation for Infantile Paral.vsis has pledged that no

During the past summer, Michigan was one of the worst sufferers of the
dreaded polio virus. The total number of cases in Michigan was more than three
times the average o the past seven years and the fourth highest on record. Before
the summer ended the total cases rose to epidemic proportions in many areas.

Resignation of Secretary Asked
To Make Way for Ex-Vice President
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21-Jesse H. Jones disclosed tonight he has
resigned as Secretary of Commerce and that President Roosevelt intends
to give the job to Henry A. Wallace-over Jones' protest.
The 70-year-old Texan acted at request of the President, giving up
the cabinet post to make way for Mr. Roosevelt's nomination of the former
Vice President, termed by Jones "inexperienced in business and finance."
At the same time, Jones brushed aside a Presidential suggestion that
he consider taking an Ambassadorship.
The President, addressing the man he named to his cabinet four years
ago as "Dear Jesse," wrote that Wallace is "fully suited" for the post.

Big Three Meet
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21-Presi-
dent Roosevelt is expected to take
extraordinary precautions to reas-
sure Congress about the results of
his projected conference with Chur-
chill and Stalin.
Even more this year than in pre-
vious wartime sessions the Chief
Executive evidently desires to avoid,
or offset beforehand, any possible
charges of secret agreements or spe-
cial deals withheld from the Ameri-
can people and Congress.
After both the Moscow conference
in the fall of 1943 and the subse-
quent Big Three meeting at Heheran,
Mr. Roosevelt and former Secretary
of State Hull went to considerable
lengths to emphasize that there had
been no secret arrangements.

Tarlac, a highway and railroad

The airfield has been the almost

City Taken Friday
Occupation of Tarlac put the Am-

the Lingayen Gulf beachhead, where
the Yanks landed on Luzon Jan. 9.
The city was taken Friday by two
American columns, which also
scooped up two nearby airdromes.
Frontline dispatches said the city
was left a smouldering ruins by the
Japanese who evidently had doused
every house with gasoline and then
applied torches. Tarlac was a scene
of complete devastation, its Filipinof
inhabitants stunned and homeless.

LONDON, Jan. 21.-Triple Russian
invasions of Germany have smashed
19 miles inside German Silesia and'
clamped a pincers on East Prussia
from the south to east, taking famed
Tannenberg, Premier Stalin an-
nounced tonight in three orders of
the day.
56 Mile Front
The invasion of German Silesia,
the "Ruhr of the east." was ham-
mered in on a 56-mile front, top-
pling five towns, and carrying within
47 miles of the Silesian capital of
Beslau. The Red Army now stands
214 miles southeast of, Berlin, and
195 miles due east from the Nazi
capital.
A new invasion of East Prussia
from the south has plunged into that
Junkers province to a depth of 16
miles on a 50-mile-wide front, cap-
turing both Tannenberg and Neiden-
burg, Stalin announced. Tannen-
berg, burial place of Von Hinden-
burg, was the scene of the great
German victory over Russia in the
first World War.
Gumbinnen Captured
The offensive into East Prussia
from the east has captured Gumbin-
nen, 65 miles east of the capital of
Konigsberg, Stalin disclosed.
Red Army units in the southern
invasion of East Prussia were only
83 miles from Danzig, threatening to
pinch off all of East Prussia.
The powerful invasion of German
Silesia captured Kreuzburg, 49 miles
from Breslau on the Oder River, and
Pitschen farther north, just 214 miles
from Berlin.

Mayor To Honor State
Department Member
Dr. Lawrence Preuss of the State
Department will highlight an Ann
Arbor Dumbarton Oaks Week with
a lecture at 8 p.m. Wednesday in lec-
ture hall of the Rackham Building. -
Mayor Leigh J. Young will issue a
proclamation today honoring Dr.
Preuss, whose talk on Roots and
Branches of Dumbarton Oaks is
being co-sponsored by Post-War
Council and the League of Women
Voters.
Local groups in town will meet
throughout the week and will dis-
cuss problems of world peace. Next
Sunday churches will devote ser-
mons to the Dumbarton Oaks issue.
On leave from the political science
department, where he is an associate
professor, Dr. Preuss has been with
the State Department since 1942. He
attended the Dumbarton Oaks con-
ference last September as technical
advisor to the American delegation.
Dr. Preuss will explain how the
Dumbarton Oaks proposals came into
being and will outline their main
provisions. He will also discuss fu-
ture plans to put the proposals into
effect explaining how the American
people can participate in the forma-
tion of a world organization.

He cited the Iowan's vigorous cam-

Correspondence Told
Jones made public the correspond-
ence which was dated yesterday, the
day of the fourth term inauguration.
There was no comment from the
White House on Jones' release of the
letter exchange between him and Mr.
Roosevelt. Nor would Jones elaborate
on the situation, telling reporters
through an aide that his letter
"spoke for itself."
Wallace could not be reached for
comment.
Senator Taft (R.-Ohio), chair-
man of the Republican Senate
Steering Committee, said flatly he
did not think Wallace qualified for
the job if it involves handling re-
construction Finance Corporation
matters.
Senator McCarran (D.-Nev.), a
member of the Commerce Com-
mittee, said that Jones had done a
splendid job as head of the lend-
ing agencies, holding RFC losses
to "an insignificant sum."
"I have never seen anything to in-
dicate that Wallace is 'qualified by
training, experience or ability for
the Commerce and RFC post," he
added.
Strong Precedent
Another member of the committee,
Senator Brewster "(R.-Me.), said:
There is strong precedent for the
President to have his own cabinet.
At the same time the appointment
may present'the fundamental issue of
financial soundness."
