FDR, Jr., Up for Post; Qualifications in Doubt
WASHINGTON — (UPI)— Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr., faced a barrage of critical GOP questioning at a Senate hearing today on his finances and personal business dealings.
Roosevelt, son of the late President, was called to testify before the Senate Commerce Committee on his nomination by President Kennedy to be Undersecretary of Commerce.
SEN. WINSTON Prouty, R-Vt. declared the appointment was a transparent political payoff for Roosevelt's help in winning the key West Virginia primary election for Kennedy in 1860.
President Kennedy defended the nominee at a Feb. 14 news conference. He said some members of Congress also "questioned the qualifications of his father to be President. I wouldn't have sent him up there unless I felt that he would be a good undersecretary..."
Sen. Norris Cotton, N.H., ranking GOP member of the Commerce Committee, said there was "no organized effort to block the nomination."
Cotton and Prouty told newsmen they questioned whether Roosevelt had sufficient business experience to be the spokesman for industry as the no.2 man in the Commerce Department.
ROOSEVELT was a Democratic congressman from New York, from 1948 through 1954.
Cotton indicated he did not think much of having a man who operates a foreign car sales agency represent U.S. commerce. "We're concerned with exports in this country, not more imports," he said.
SINCE 1957, the nominee has operated the Roosevelt Automobile Co. in Washington, which sells imported autos.
Noted Architect To Speak Here
Richard Neutra, a leading international architect, will speak at 8:15 p.m. tomorrow in the Ballroom of the Kansas Union.

The lecture is being sponsored by the Department of Architecture as part of its 50th anniversary celebration.
He is the author of "Survival Through Design," published in English, Italian, Spanish, and German editions, and of "Life and Shape," his autobiography.
Neutra was born in Vienna in 1892 where he received his architectural training. He came to the United States in 1923 and established his office in Southern California.
Neutra is best known for his theory of contemporary designs.
Nobel Prize Winner To Give Talk Here
Sir John Cockroft, British scientist, will give the first Kenneth A. Spencer Memorial Lecture here April 4.
Cockcroft was a pioneer atomic physicist in England. He has received the Nobel prize, was director of England's first Atomic Research Establishment and was the first and present Master of Cambridge University's Churchill College.
Cockcroft first made himself known in science in 1932 when he and Dr. E. T. S. Walton developed transmuting lithium and boron by high energy protons. Cockcroft and Dr. Walton received the 1951 Nobel prize for this atom-splitting effort.

KU Pianist Winner In Music Auditions
SCARBOROUGH, England—(UPI)
—Attorney Kathleen Graham pleaded guilty to a minor parking summons yesterday but put up a spiritified defense against an allegation she was 41 years old. “I have a good 10 years to go before I am that age,” Miss Graham said and asked the court not to publish the age of violators on parking summonses.
Mildred J. Archer, Ottawa junior, was the only KU participant to win in the Biennial Young Artist and Student Auditions of the National Federated Music Clubs.
Miss Archer won in the piano division of the student auditions which were held Saturday in Murphy Hall. The auditions were open to anyone from ages 16-25 who plays either the piano or flute.
An Engineering CAREER
The purpose of the Young Artist contest is to determine if an individual is ready to begin his concert career.
