INCREASE IN ALASKA RATES PROTESTED
STRIKE VOTE BY 650,000
 BEING CAST

PITTSBURGH, Nov 28.-An es- timated 650,009 CIO United Steel Workers throughout the nation to- day went to the polls in organized labor's greatest strike vote.
 Regardless of the outcome of the bailoting the Union emphasized that a strike will not necessarily result. Workers were told that a walkout is subject to the future decision of the Unions international wage pol icy committee. the executive board and the international officers.
 Field directors in the 27 states where balloting is taking place in 766 plants have been warned by h. ternational officers to guard against unauthorized walkouts.
 Affected are the mills of Big Steel" and Little Steel, scores of small independent factories, and large producers of aluminium. iron ore and other related products.
 The vote was called to enforce the Unions demands for a S2 a day wage increase.

 HarboY Case
Roosevelt and Hull Turned Down Suggested Meet
 ing with KonoYe

WASHINGTON, Nov 28-Former Ambassador Joseph C. Grew said today that in the autumn of l94l we in Tokyo felt that if Prime Minister Konoye and President Roosevelt could meet face to face" this might halt Japanese aggres- sion
 He made the statement to the Senate House committee investigat- ing the December T. l94l. attack on Pearl Harbor. Previously he had told of secret efforts by Prince Konoye in September l94l, to ar range a peace" meeting with the President.
 Evidence has shown that MT. Roosevelt and Cordell Hull, then Secretary of State, turned down the idea because they felt such a meeting might do more harm than good.
 Later in his testimony. Grew said that no one could say now whether Konoye could have carried out, over the opposition of Japanese war lords, any commitments he might have made to Mir. Roosevelt.
 Konoyes cabinet fell in october, 1941, and was succeeded by the military regime of Premier Tojo.

CHINESE ADMIT
 LOSING SECTION
 10 COMMUNISTS
By SPENCER MoosA

CHUNGKING, Nov. 28 The Chinese government admitted today the loss of the important southern Hopei province highway center of Feisiang to besieging Communists.
 But Nationalists, meanwhile. re- portedly began long-delayed land ings at the captured Manchurian seaport of Hulutao.
 Feisiang, described by the Ma tionalists as one of the insurgents main objectives, fell after a three month siege. The deputy com mander of the towns garrison was killed in action. The highway center is east of the Peiping- Hankow Railroad.
 An unconfirmed dispatch in the Chungking Commercial Daily News said government forces had started landing a Hulutao, recently oc- cupied by government troops after evacuation by Communist forces The report did not say whether U. s. transports were used.

RESIGNkTI0M OF
 HURLEY BRINGS ,
 FORTH REGRETS
But Chinese Also Hail Se- lection of Marshall
 as Good Omen

CHUNGKING, Nov. 28- China today regretted officially the resig- nation of "a great, true friend" U. S. Ambassador Patrick J. Hurley, but hailed selection of 50 distinguished an American" as five star Gen. George c. Marshall to succeed him.
 Although Marshalls appointement surprised even gossip-ridden Chung king, it was felt that he might be empowered to make on-the-spot de- cisions affecting the American posi- tion in China--and that his investi- gations and decisions might mini mize current agitation in some cir cles for withdrawal of U. S. Forces.
 All observers acknowledged that Marshall will bring impressive inter- national prestige to his delicate task.
 Two questions certain to confront Marshall immediately are the re- tention or return of U. s. Marines now in North China; and the allo- cation of U. s. planes to the Ma tional government.
 All Chungking newspapers gave prominence to Hurley's resignation except curiously the Communist New China Daily News, which bur fed the story on page two with a small caption.

 BAND0ENG, LAVA
By VERN HAuGLAND

BATAVIA, Java, Nov 28 The Indonesian governor of western Java asked the British command today to halt military action at Bandoeng, and was told that Na- tionalist forces must eyacuate the residential area north of the east west railway line by noon tomor- row.
 In the midst of a tense situa- ton i'll the summer capital, the Jayanese governor approached British headquarters in Bandoeng under white flag, an official British statement said.
 Earlier. strong Allied patrols had been ordered out in Bandoeng, about 75 miles southeast of Batavia, to disperse Indonesians who were gathering in the city, in one area of which some 60,000 former civil han internees of the Japanese were crowded
 A British brigade commander told the Javanese governor that if the area north of the rail line was not evacuated by the fixed deadline, any Indonesians found there after noon tomorrow would be liable to be shot by British patrols.
 Fighting in Ambarawa in central Java has been reported intensifying.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.-De- mands for investigation of Ameri- cas- foreign policy, and it's foreign service personnel were raised in the House today as the country prepared to swap ambassadors to Chungking.
 There ware these developments.
 Gen George C. Marshall, called from his recent retirement as Army Chief of Staff to become President Trumans special ambassador to China, conferred with the President and Secretary of State Byrnes at the White House, preparatory to an early departure for the Far East.
 Maj. Gen. Patrick J. Hurley, who resigned the ambassadorship yester- day, reiterated in a speech at the National Press Club his contention that some American career diplo- mats" had sought to nullify an nounced American foreign policy in the Orient.
 Secretary Byrnes told a news con- ference he had expected Hurley to return to Chungking today and that he had been given assurance that as long as he was ambassador there, any subordinate who interferred with him would be removed.

HESS NOT
 INSANE;;T0
 BE TRIED
HifIer's 0ne-fime Deputy Has Tried Often 10
 Commit Suicide
By DANIEL DE LUCE

NUREMBERG, Nov. 28 - Rudolf Hess, Hitler's one-time deputy, was described by psychiatrists today as not insane at the present time in the strict sense of the word" and the International Military Tribunal announced that arguments would be heard Friday on the Nazi leaders plea to escape the war crimes trial on grounds of am- nesia.
 The British psychiatrists' report revealed that Hess had tried to commit suicide on several occasions since his sensational and mysterious flight to Scotland in May 1941.
 Declaring that Hess was not in- sane, the psychiatrists conceded that his loss of memory would in terfere with his ability to make his defense" Hess went on trial on war crimes charges last week with 19 other top Nazi leaders but has paid scant attention to pro- ceedings, reading novel much of the time and giggling occasionally.
 Conscious Exaggeration
 Hess, the medical board reported, is suffering from "hysteria" and in addition, there is conscious eXag- geration of his loss of memory and a tendency to exploit it to protect himself against examination. Three separate reports of examinations were filed, one by the British, one by the Russians and third by American, French and Canadian doctors.
 As today's session opened, the prosecution presented evil en e from an American diplomat that the Nazis schemed from their earliest days of power to absorb Austria.
 Horror Pictures
 Motion pictures showing thous- ands of corpses rotting in German concentration camps and films made by the Nazls themselves, showing SS men beating helpless women and children, were exhibited last night to defense councel and were to be entered as evidence be- fore the court. The showing may be put off until tomorrow because of slight changes in prosecution procedure,
 Dr. Alfred Seidl, counsel for Hans Frank, Nazi ruler of Poland, de- clared after seeing the pictures NO argument can be made against these pictures. They are too ter rible for worlds
 We are human beings, please believe it, and we did not know such horrors existed commented Capt. Franz von Papen, Jr., who is acting as associate counsel for his father, former German Am baSsador to Turkey.

SAYS AMERICANS DUMPING OUTFITS
 OR BURNING THEM

SYDNEY, Australia, Nov. 23.-C. A. Burley, correspondent for the Sydney Sun, said today in dispatch from Rabaul that Americans aban- doning Pacific islands are dumping into the sea or are burning millions of pounds worth of gear"
 Burley said Australian officers passing through the Pacific areas called the destruction staggering in scope and thoroughness.'
 Burley said The American argu- ment is that if the stuff is shipped home it would merely mean shifting junk heaps from one place to an- other"
 The correspondent listed these in- cidents as having been reported by Australians:
 In the Admiralties: POO Hellcat fighters dumped into the sea.
 Finschhafen. Complete dental out fits in the sea Pontoons loaded with jeeps putting to sea with a bulldozer aboard to push them off Mobile radio outfits in four wheeled cara vans dumped at sea. Small vessels burned in the harbor Huge stocks of clothing including windproof jackets burned.
 Jacquinto Bay: Bargeloads of jeeps topped into the sea.

TOKYO, Nov. 28.-Prinne Fumi- marc Konoye, former Premier, was named from the floor of the Japa- nese House of Representative to- day as one of two men "fundamen- tally responsible for the war" The boisterous House also heckled freely melancholy Premier Baron Kijuro Shidehara after his state of the na- tion' speech to the Diet.
 Cakao Saito, 75-year-old parlia mentarian, asserted from the floor that Konoye and Pearl Harbor Pre- inier Hideki Tojo were responsible for the war, adding that the Japa- nese people hate these men more than anyone else" CTojo is await ing trial as war criminal suspect; Konoye, free, has been eyeing wist- fully a fresh plunge into politics as a. ccmmoner and liberal9
 Hcw About Kido?
 Other members promptly demand ed.
 How about Kido?" Marquis Koi- chi Kido, former Lord Keeper of the Privy Seal, a job now abolishedO Representative laughed aloud as Shidehara attempted to answer questions on constitutional and ether reforms, betraying an increas- ing sharpness toward Shidehara's unstable cabinet.
 The members applauded a gov ornment spokesman only once when War Minister Sadashi Shim- cmura. in aswering a query, added the remark:
 T apologize to the people from the bottom of my heart for the war result"
 War Responsibility Throughout the first two hours of the interrogation, questions were de- voted almost exclusively to the war, with heavy emphasis on war respon- sibility.. The outspoken session att tracted nearly 1900 galleryites, in- cluding a small group of American officers.
 The Premier, whose cabinet is foredoomed to collapse on concm- sion of this Diet session, said that Japan, having accepted the Pots dam Declaration, was obliged to remove all obstacles to a revival of development of democratic tenden- cies among its people. He reminded the Diet it must reflect the public will and fer that purpose there must be full and fair election"
