The hymn, ellis Eye. is on the

actress admits while she likes it
too, she hasn't always been AS
happy singing it. She recalls too
many times of having to stay in
and play it for her grandmother
one-finger on the organ. But It
was a bunch song that came to
her when Carson McCullers, who
adapted the play from her own
novel, asked her if she knew some
song she might sing to the child
ren.
Upon finishing it, Miss Waters
ers saw the unexpected happen.
Writer Carson got in her lap and
cried like the child actor, Frank

That was the start of things.
Director Harold Clurman had
never liked his ending or the

Taft Proposes Limiting
Business Volume of
Any Single Steel Firm
By the Associated Press

Senator Taft, Republican, of
Ohio proposed today that Congress
look into the question of limiting
the amount of business any single
steel company can do.
Senator Taft made his proposal
in a weekly report to Ohio voters.
Chairman O'Mahoney disclosed,
meanwhile, that the Democratic
majority of the Senate-House Eco
nomic Committee believes there Is
no practical competition within
the steel industry.
Differing with Senator OMa-
honey. Senator Taft said that in
his opinion the evidence taken by
the committee shows there is no
collusion between the companies
and that competition is reasonably
active"
Called Doubtful Question.
Il do think" the Ohio Senator
said, there is a doubtful question,
namely, whether the position of
the United States Steel Corp. is so
predominant that it has power to
fix prices and at least modify the
usual effect of competition"
In this connection, he said he
thinks the lawmakers should con-
slider whether we should place
limit on the proportion of any in
dustry which can be controlled
by any company and whether it is
possible to make the Sherman
(Antl-TrusD Act more definite
and effective"
Senator Taft previously has con-
tended that the majority report
of the committee-which hasn't
been issued yet-points toward
Government price fixing for steel.
Denied by O'Mahoney.
Senator O'Mahoney has denied
this emphatically. He said in a
statement last night that it is
common knowledge" that COM
petition has been undermined in
the steel industry.
ANY contention or pseudo
contention that competition exists
in the steel industry can only be
made in the belief that the public
has short memory" he said.
Senator Taft said the present
price of steel may be. too high.
But he added that, regardless of
competition, increases in pension
costs for the companies as a
result of union contracts will be
reflected in higher prices.
