WulhlaitM. July tl (X;P)—A reliabi* source pradietsd tonight that President Truman will accept the resicnation of Secretary of In¬ terior Harold Ia Ickes within the next month or six weeks.
Ickes submitted his resignation, as did other members of the late President Roosevelt's cabinet, when President Truman took office. The resignations of six members have been accepted.
The source who predicted Ickes' retirement aaid there was "no acute reason" for the chief exec¬ utive's decision "other than that the President wanta a Cabinet of his own choosing." Thia source, who is In close touch with White House officers, correctly predicted In ad\'Bnce each of Mr. Truman's previous  Cabinet changes.
Wanta Hhow Down
There has been widespread speculation in recent weeks aboui Ickes' future. A few da.vs ago, he was reported to have decided to ask Mr. Truman, as soon aa he returna from the Big Three con¬ ference at Potsdam, whether he plans to accept hia resignation.
Retiring Secretary of Treasury Henry Morgenthau jr. followed the aame course, arranging a confer¬ ence with Mr. Truman and asking him point-blank about the veracity of rumors that his resignation was to be accepted. In Morgenthau's case, he was told the rumors were true and his resignation was an¬ nounced that afternoon. If Ickes follows that course, he wiil be told the same thing, on the basis of the reliable source's information.
Ready to Retire
Ickes has convinced his inti- m.itcs that he really does not car* whether Mr. Trumnn keeps him in the Cabinet. He was 71 last March 15 and feels the time has come when he can properly sit back and enjoy life in a llesurely fashion.

Waahinston, July 31. (UP)— Houae members embarked tonight un an 11-week vacation, their long¬ est since 1938, while senators pre¬ pared to open debate Monday on the United Nations Charter with prospects of ratifying it before the end  of the week.
The House adjourned at 2:22 p. m. until October 8 when the Senate approved its adjournment resolution. House leaders may call vacationing members back if an emergency  arises.
Onl.v   ratification   of   the   United Nations   Charter   stands   between members  of the  Senate and  their vacation. See Adoption of Charter Soon
Since the Senate Foreign Rela¬ tions Committee approved the C:harter 21 to 1 laat week, adminis¬ tration leaders have advanced the probable date of ratification. At one time the estimated date was mid-August. Subsequently the esti¬ mate was advanced to Aug. 1, but opposition has been so dissipated leaders now believe ratiflcation without reservations will come be¬ fore next weekend, possibly on F'riday.
Today the Senate cleared away the last of otiier administration foreign policy measures before Con¬ gress, adopting a House-approved joint resolution authorizing this country to participate in the United Nations food and agriculture or¬ ganization.

3 SENATORS SAY GERMANS HAVE lltJONSiNU^.
Washington, July 21. (UP)—Ger¬ man leaders may have secreted as much as $500,000,000 In the United States in some "mysterious Swiss accounts," three senators just back from Germany said tonight.
One of the three, Sen. Homer Ferguson, R., Mich., complained that the Swiss "haven't been very co-operative" in providing informa tion about the accounts. The Swiss funds have been frozen and are being investigated by American authorities, he said. Can Smash Cartels
The three senators agreed that the first major step toward demili¬ tarizing Germany is to smash Ger¬ man cartels and control German ajisets  abroad.
Sen. Harley M. Kilgore, D., W. Va., who headed a Senate military affairs subcommittee tour to Europe, safd the United States can almost singlehandedly eliminate world cartels merely by abstaining from them.
If this country shuns them aa a matter of policy, he said, no groups of nations can maintain a cartel system because "we will be too powerful a competitor."
Sen. Hugh Mitchell. D.. Wash., [warned that despite her crushing military defeat, Germany still is the world's third largest industrial power.
"Within five years," he said, "she could be stronger than she was in lti39." .More In Other Countries
The three senators estimated that r.crmans have hidden some $300,- 000,000 in Spain, an equal amount in Argentina, more than $200,000,- 000 in Luxembourg .ind another $200,000,000 In I^ichlenstein. the tiny principality next door to Switzerland.
They have additional tens of millions in assets in Sweden, Por¬ tugal, Turkey and Great Britain, thev added.
Ferguson said these German assets abroad must be controlled to keep the Enemy from prepar¬ ing for World War III.

FIRST ANNIVERSARY ON GUAM CELEBRATED
Guam, July 21. (UP)—Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, broadcasting to¬ day to armed forces on Guam on the first anniversary of the Ameri¬ can landing there, praised the de¬ termination of American fighting men which rcwon the island.
Terming Guam the "Springboard to Tokyo," Nimitz said that the millions spent in building airfields, roads and facilities has made the island one of the most powerful military bases in the wrorld. He paid tribute to the men who fought the enemy.
Natives of Guam held liberation celebrations which included dances and feasts under waving American flags in native villages throughout the island.
Washington, July 21. (UP)—Two unofficial sources predicted today that an Allied declaration on the Japanaae war will come aoon from tho Big Three meeting at Potadam. The unofficial publication, the Army and Navy Juomal, said that "if Russia should decldi to enter the war against Japan, the declar¬ ation presumably would be trl partite; otherwise It Is expected to .be Issued In the name of President Truman and Prime Minister Win¬ ston Churchill." Predlce liberal Terms
Jack Coffin, CBS news broad¬ caster, forecast a statement of sur¬ render terms for Japan which he snid would be "far more liberal than the Japanese now enjoy und«' their present government."
Coffin said Mr. Truman hopes that Generalissimo Joaef Stalin "will sign it, but not necesaarily as a belligerent." In any event, he said, Great Britain and the United States will issue the statement.
The declaration. Coffin said, "will promise the Japanes'e free¬ dom of religion and the right to choose whatever form of govern¬ ment they want."
Coffin and the Journal agreed that the question of what to do about Emperor Hirohito was not yet decided.
"When    Mr.    Truman    left    for Potsdam,"   the   Journal   said,   "the question had not been decided and counsels  were   divided. Fear  Religious   I'pset
"Liberala and New Dealers were demanding that he (the Emperor) be executed.
"Others felt that the war lords rather than he were responsible for Pearl Harbor and that, any¬ way, the statua of the Emperor did not involve our security and that the war would only be prolonged if we should fight to destroy Japan's religious and political systems."

It was suggested at the State Department that this might also be a warning that other of Japan's present enemies — China, Great Britain. Australia, and the Nether* landa among them—may acquire a stronger voice, if the war drags on and they put more into it in de- termining the kind of peace Japan will get. ' Te War l«aderB aad People

The broadcast, Zacharlas* 12th la "a very special series," placed a time limit on Japan's opportunity to get out of the war under what he called "the unconditional sur* render peace formula."
Warning that American patienca "ia rapidly running out." he said: As soon as our redeployment is completed, this opportunity will be lost to Japan—and as you know, It will be lost forever."
The War Department said to* night that redeployment of U. & power from Europe to the Pacifie^ originallv scheduled for completion a year after VE-Day laat May 8, is now expected to be accomplish* ed "one or two months" earlier— in March or April. Told to Face Facts
Zacharlas, who formerly served in the U. S. embassy at Tokyo and speaks Japanese fluently, recited the military facts dooming Japan to defeat, called on Japanese lead* ers to abandon the "shallow emo¬ tionalism" which has kept them from facing the facts realistically, and declared:
"The American unconditional surrender peace formula is a hu¬ manitarian gesture of great con¬ structive value."
In earlier broadcasts he had re¬ peated President Truman's assur¬ ance to Japan that unconditional surrender "does not mean the en¬ slavement or extermination of tha Japanese  people."
In tonight's he told Japanese leaders that only through uncondi¬ tional surrender could they "make possible the salvation of Japan." He said unconditional surrender was an honorable choice for de¬ feated armies, and reminded Japaa that "the Atlantic Charter and the Cairo Declaration are the sourcea of our policy." .Must Give Cp Loot
