Senate Stage Is Sci
For Public Hearings
On s State Nominees
BY the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated Press.
American foreign policy will go
on parade this week in the Senate
Caucus Room.
All set for its biggest show of the
year, the Senate will have an OPP
portunity to direct at Edward r.
Stettinius, jr., the new Secretary of
State, and six nominated sub
ordinates an accumulation of ques-
tions about this Nations diplo-
matte and economic plans.
Senator Chandler, Democrat, of
Kentucky, one Of the moving spirits
in the revolt which sent the appoint
ments of four Of Mr.. Stettinius. aides
back to the Foreign Relations Com
mittee which already had approved
them, left little room for doubt that
critics intend to take full advantage
of their opportunity.
| Foreign Policy on Trial"
American foreign policy is on
trial right now," Senator Chandler
told reporter. II think the people
recognized that reorganization of
the State Department was needed,
but they didn't want it this way"
The Kentuckian referred to
President Roosevelt's nominations
of Joseph C. Grew to be Under
secretary of State and Archibald
MacLeish, Nelson Rockefeller, viii
L. Clayton, James C. Dunn and
Brig. Gen. Julius c. Holmes to be
Assistant Secretaries. The Dunn
and Holmes nominations are new
since the others were recommitted
| One by one these six will follow
the 44-year-old Secretary of State
to the witness chair for questioning
on their records and opinions.
Mr.. Stettinius, favorite on Cap
itol Hill, is not expected to be
subjected to detailed questioning
He may, however, be called on te
explain major State Department
policies and tell how he intends tc
fill the shoes of Cordell Hull.
| Clayton Is Focal Point.
! Mr.. Clayton is a focal point oi
attack for New Dealers, who want
to know not only how he feels about
international cartels but what sort
OF world trade he hopes to promote
in his projected job as head of the
State Departments Economic Divi-
sion. Southerners want to ask him
about the future of cotton on the
world market. Mr.. Clayton himself
is cotton dealer.
! Mr.. Rockefeller may face oues-
tioning about future Latin American
policieS-whether, for instance. he
favors a firmer or softer American
attitude toward Argentina's govern
ment. His possible connections with
Wall Street, through his relation
ship as the grandson of John D."
also are likely to draw inquiries.
Mr.. MacLeish, regarded as an ex-
treme New Dealer, will find opposi-
ton among Republicans and some
Democrats. Administration leaders
think a dozen on the majority side
may vote against him in a show
down, and they say his confirmation
possibly is In doubt.
The betting odds are long that
the remainder will be confirmed
after the show is over-if it ends
before Congress adjourns for Christ
mas. Few legislators feel that the
amazing alliance of New Dealers and
Republicans which sent the nomina-
tions back to the committee will hold
together when the names come UP
individually in the Senate.

so 10 $50 Million Sci
AS Cost Of Pay Raise
For Clio SteeIworkers
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Office of Price Administration
figures s6ooOo,OOO is rock bottom
for the probable annual cost of wag,
awards recommended for CIO steel
workers. The agency's top figure fol
the extra pay is $15o,O0o, 900.
1t expects to pin the amount dowr
precisely at some point in that range
this week.
Against this finding it will match
the steel industry's financial posi-
ton as disclosed by a cost survey
nearing completion, and decide
whether the proposed wage adjust
ment can be absorbed without a
price increase.
The agency's conclusions will be
submitted to Sterilization Director
Fred M. Vinson.
If there are price consequences,
Mr.. Vinson must rule whether the
wage hike will be allowed. II no
price increase is necessary, the War
Labor Board, which approved the
wage scale revision two weeks ago,
will order it in effect.
Must Narrow Range.
OPA officials explained that their
greatest problem has been calcu-
lating the effect of WLB's grants on
each of the 86 basic companies.
The board authorized increases for
night-shift workers, additional va
cation pay and other revisions, but
did not disturb basic wages which
the Little Steel formula holds to
Is per cent above January, 1941,
levels.
1--WE estimate that the maximum
cost of these adjustments would be
about II cents an hour per man, or
about $50, ,000, 900 a year" an OPA
official said. THE minimum cost
would be around five cents a man
per hour or about $60,000,000.
This range will be narrowed "to a
pretty fine point" when the study
is ready for Mr. Vinson he said.
Includes Hardship Gases.
While declining to say whether
OPA has reached any conclusions
that a price increase may be nee
essary. the official asserted:
This much is obviously true: A
$150,000, 600 cost increase would take
a whale Of bite out of industry,s
earnings before taxes"
He pointed out that number Of
the companies affected by the WLB
findings have been granted "finan-
cial hardship" price increases for
some products in the last several
months. That kind of additional
cost could wipe out entirely the
1914 earnings of those companies" I"
he said.
There is still a possibility, he
added, that the steel industry may
appeal the WLB decision, which
would delay the report or even
kill it.

ArnaII Calls on South
For Careful Study
OF Poll Tax Issue
BY the Associated Press.

" bS but ASSoClaleO FEtSh.
ATLANTA, Dec. 9.-Gov. Ellis
Arnall called on the South today
to make a "factual, careful study" to
determine if the poll tax should be
retained as voting requirement
Declaring that 1--WE need to know
much more about the poll tax than
we now know before we can reach
a thoroughly sound conclusion con-
corning it," Gov. Arnall said he
would invite leading citizens of the
South to join him in launching the
proposed study.
Coincident with issuance of the
statement, a 23-member commits
sion rewriting proposed new
Georgia constitution for submission
to the January legislature refused
to include a provision specifically
abolishing the poll tax as a voting
prerequisite. Gov. Arnall is chair
man of the commission.
Senate President Frank Gross
who proposed poll tax abolition
said he would renew the fight in
the legislature.
20 The 37-year-old Governor said
. the study of the poll tax question
to be conducted and financed by
Southerners, would require about a
year.
"I am tired of seeing the South
attacked by those in other sections
because some of our Southern
States require the payment of the
poll tax as prerequisite for voting, -
Gov. Arnall said.
II think 1t is time for us in the
South to take stock and find out
for ourselves what practical effects
the poll tax has. We neither want
nor need outside help. We should
consider it openly and realistically
in an earnest effort to determine
what. if anything, should be done
about it,"

Auto Makers Face Many
Reconversion Problems
BY David j.. Wilkie,
Associated Press Automotive Editor.

DETROIT, Oct. 14.-Five years Of the
heaviest production volume in history
will lie ahead OF the Nations auto
mobile industry when it swings back
into unrestricted, passenger car output.
That prospect rests on two major
assumptions:
That high-volume production cannot
be attained before the end of 1945, even
If the war ends this year
That price increases. although IN
evitable. will not be extreme.4
Car manufacturers generally are
agreed that the overall producti0b level
necessary to cut into accumulated de-
mand-probably 5000, 900 caravan
rate-cannot be reached before the ehd
of next year. Some, notably Ford, with
less complicated reconversion problems,
expect to get started ahead OF others,
but all say many months will be required
to reach top volume.
Expect Small Price Increase
While number Of industry executives
have said they cannot produce postwar
automobiles ct 1912 prices, all know
from bitter experience that price In
creases always have been met with
strong buyer resistance. Certainly, no
producer has said anything recently
about IS to 10 per cent increase I'M
mediately after the war. The figures
were widely talked about ! few months
ago.
This writer's own conviction is that
the price increase will be 10 per cent or
less. It is supported by statements Of
. number Of leading producers.
I'VE have to sell the cars as well as
make them," said one. I'VE are going
to price them as low as we possibly can,
not from any philanthropic impulse, but
because, after the war, we are going to
be engaged in the stinest competition
the industry ever has known and It's
going to be every automobile maker for
himself"
A somewhat gloomy picture Is being
painted by most Of the builders con-
cerning prospects OF quick return to
passenger automobile output. They cite
problems Of manpower. machine tool
equipment, raw materials and factory
space.
They will need tremendous amount
Of new machine tools before they can
start making new cars, they maintain.
To date. the War Production Board has
turned down suggestions that such
