Thoro is some talk of Joint iwsslon of congress to honr tho Hurloy story (which is to tho effect that communist sympa thisers In tho suite department ii I'd MibnttiMhiK tho department's OWN PROGRAM In China.) TJURLEY tells tlio Washington XA reporters today: "I'm ready to appear nt any PUBLIC hciirliiK that Is afford- d me by congress, Now that tho war Is over, pcoulo are onmiou to havo tlie basic Information to enablo thorn to form intelligent opinions of American loreign ynllcy." (Tlint Is certainly true, be cause In any war arising out of a mlstako In American foreign policy the people will do the bulk, or we ngniing, in tuucr lug and tlio dying,) o rMPLOMACY, traditionally io- cret, grew up In the days of "divine ngnt Kings wno ruiea with despotic power. Foreign policy was then a GAME In which the common people had no sy. They'd have been put In their place quickly enough it they had tried to .butt In on what was regarded a tne exclusive business of their betters. (Their PLACE would have been a deep dungeon.) '.MUCH of tho world OJOTAB v LY AMERICA) hos changed alnce then. The spread of edu cation hn mode the PEOPLE of enlightened countries, such as ours, competent to Judge as to the rightnoss or tha wrongness of our basic relations with othor peoples. The trouble Is that while the world has changed DIPLOMACY HASN'T. In most of tho world's capitals, the conduct of foreign affairs is still looked upon as tho exclusive prerogative, of the silK-nattcd professionals, TF you want a good grounding " in mo iraniiioniu principles of diplomacy (winch deals witn foreign "policy") read Machln velll's "The Prince."

It was for this purpose. Chungking says, that tho date of Russian withdrawal was changed. Tho Russians had been scheduled to leave Manchuria by December 3. but Chtung KM slick feared that Chinese com munists (who seem to be as thick as fleas In Manchuria) would ASSUME CONTROL If tha Russian forces evacuated the country so soon.

Gen. Pat rick J. Hurley address a special session of congress emerged to day from a furor prompted by his sudden resignation as ambus sador to China. The suggestion came from Rep. Edith Nourse Rogers (R Muss.), as clamor mounted for a full-dress congressional inves tigation of tlio nation's foreign policy. Referring to moves by four dlfferont committees to hove the general testify about his accusa tions that "career diplomats" are undermining national Interests abroad, Mrs. Rogers told a re porter: Wants Whole Story "The issue is of such magni tude, with the security of our country involved, that I think tho general ought to tell the complete story to a Joint mooting of the sonato and house. . "Also, as specified in my bill (introduced yesterday), Secre tary of State Byrnes should sup ply congress with all informa tion ho lias about the sabotogo of our foreign policy and why General Hurley resigned." " It was uncertain immediately Just -where the general will speak on Capitol Hill but it appeared deflnito he would do some talking some place, there next week. Read- to Talk Informed of the bids for hla appearance, he told a newsman: 'I am ready to appear at any public hearing that is afforded me by congress. Now that the war is over the people are en titled to havo the basic Informa tion to enable them to form In telligent opinions on American foreign policy." Tho senato foreign relations committee appeared to have the insido track for the general's Ini tial testimony. Chairman Con nelly (D-Tex.) has invited him to a Wednesday meeting.

Morse Prints Senate Menu To Push Action On UNRRA WASHINGTON, Dec. 1 (JP) Senator Morse, (R-Ore.), chid ing what ho termed "well fed" senate colleagues for not taking up immediately legislation -to provide $550,000,000 for unrra, had the senate restaur ant luncheon menu m-intcd in the congressional record. - earner tnis week, a move to bring tho measure uo for im mediate consideration was blocked. It will come uo in turn on the calendar. As I look at the manv emntv scats in the senate, I take note of tho fact that many senators are out to lunch," Morse said yesterday.

The menu offered the usual appetizers and soups and roast ed stuffed squab, chicken, sea food en casserole, baked eastern salmon, fried filet of sole and boiled frankfurters and sauerkraut. 100,000 See Cadets Run Over Navy West Point Closes Sea sort, Unbeaten And Untied By BOB CAVAGNARO MUNICIPAL STADIUM, Philadelphia, Dec. 1 (JP) Army defeated Navy 32-13 today in the 40th renewal of their foot ball rivalry played before, up wards of 100,000 spectators in cluding President Truman.

His second was on a 17-yard end sweep. Blanchard's third score came when he intercepted a pass and went 45 yards to cross the goal line. Left Halfback Glenn Davis scored in the first period on a 149-yard run, and again in the final quarter on a 31-yard gal lop. Navy's first touchdown was spectacularly contrived on a 63 yard forward pass play from Quarterback Bruce Smith to Halfback Clyde Scott, who ran 37 yards after catching the ball. A pass interception by Navy Sub Guard Bryan Brown on Army's 27 set up Navy's second touchdown. Bill Barron cracked through center to the 15 and then Bartos smashed to the three. On the next play he pushed to the one-foot line and then he went over.
