The senate will be called upon to

its secrecy rule before the rules COM
mittee begins Monday an investiga-
tion of recent violations of the rule

tant senate leader announced today.
Jones said he would seek consi-
deration of his pending rules amend
ment as soon as the senate disposes

Developments Of the last few
days point to the immediate neces-
sity for change in the present sit
uation,' Jones asserted.
Jones amendment proposed the
senate can go into executive ses-
sions to consider nominations only
when a majority of the senate so
votes, the vote to be taken in open
session. Senator Black, Dem, Ala,
has substitute lending in which
he proposes to abolish entirely all
secret sessions for consideration of
nominations.
A partial but representative poll
of the senate by the United Press
revealed So to IA in favor of modi-
flying or abolishing secret sessions
on presidential nominations, indicat.
ing the Jones or Black amendments
can be adopted if ever brought to
a vote.
