CLAYTONIGOES INTO LINE
OF SENATE GROUP'S FIRE
THE ABILENE REPORTER-NEWS
Tune In on KRBC
PAGE FIVE
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.—(PP)-
Critics picked William L. Clayton as
• their target tor today in an effort
to revive outwardly-fading opposi-
tion in the senate to six State de-
partment appointments.
Clayton, 64-year-old cotton
broker who was named assis-
tant secretary, was in the line
Bor fire before the senate foreign
relations committee. It is In-
quiring Into a departmental
shakeup engineered by Edward
Stettinius Jr., new secretary of
state.
awith Southerners who don’t like
what they describe as his free trade
views on cotton simmering in the
background. Clayton was prepared
for a burst of inquiries. His five
colleagues were subjected to only
rambling questioning yesterday.
0 These five appeared to have
cleared their first hurdle and
Chairman Connally ID-Tex)
was eager to get the whole pub-
lic show over with so that the
committee could vote today on
@the nominations. He hoped to
have them ready for Thursday
action in the senate. There,
some talk is expected out of
non-committee members who
thus far haven't had a chance
to put in their opposition oar.
•The rift between the United
States and Britain on some phases
of the foreign policy, notably in
Greece and Italy, have many in the
senate disturbed about the future.
They also have questions in their
winds as to Russian viewpoints.
The additional five appointees in-
clude Joseph C. Grew, former am-
bassador to Japan, named as under
secretary of state and four other
assistant secretaries. They are Arch-
ibald Macleish, Nelson Rockefeller,
Dimes C. Dunn and Brig. Gen. Jul-
ius Holmes.
All read formal statements and
submitted to questioning yesterday.
Holmes, who is a deputy chief of
staff under Gen. Dwight D Eisen-
power, took a plane to distant parts
but the others are available. Sena-
tor Guffey (D-Pa) said he had
something more to ask Rockefeller.
Senator Clark (D-Mo) also wanted
MacLeish recalled.
Yesterday's examination before a
$------------------
crowd of about 800 in the ornate
senate Caucus room, produced lit-
tle the senators didn’t know before.
Stettinius asked for confirmation
of his team, suavely turned aside
major questions of foreign policy.
Grew advised against deciding what
to do about Emperor Hirohito until
we get to Tokyo.
Dunn said this country still ad-
heres to the tenants of the Atlan-
tic charter. MacLeish opposed Com-
munism in America, said the Unit-
ed States would have to get along
diplomatically with Russia. Holmes
told about a deal with the French
before the invasion there.
Last at the group to reach the
witness chair, Clayton read a
statement asserted that he is
not a believer in international
cartels. He cited a six year old
speech of his to prove it and
endorsed the reciprocal trade
agreements program.
As for his cotton business, Clay-
ton said he had been only a stock-
holder and not active in the $50,-
000.000 Anderson, Clayton & Co.,
since he went into government
service in 1940. He added that the
company operates in Mexico, Peru,
Argentina, Paraguay, Brasil and
Egypt. He said it had closed its sales
agencies in Germany shortly after
the war began m 1939 and had sold
no cotton to Japan for some time
prior to Pearl Harbor.

Have a “Coke”= Merry Christmas
...adding refreshment to holiday cheer
The spirit of good will rules the Christmas season. It's a time to get together with
friends and family... a time when all we mean by home in its graciousness and
friendliness is at its peak. In such an atmosphere Coca-Cola belongs, ice-cold and
sparkling with life. There’s a whole story of hospitality in the three words Have a
“Coke”,—three words that express a friendly spirit the whole year 'round. Yes,
Coca-Cola and the pause that refreshes are everyday symbols of a way of living that
takes friendliness for granted.
