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

alnce then. The spread of edu

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

'AS to "foreign policy," the

It was for this purpose.
Chungking says, that tho date of

scheduled to leave Manchuria
by December 3. but Chtung KM

In Congress
Foreign Policy Hot Is
sue As Clamor
Rises
Br CLAIR JOHNSON
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1 (P)
A proposul that MaJ. 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.

moyukl Yamashlta merely nod
ded noncommittally when asked
what disposition should bo made

las, a Japanese colonel testified

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.
"It is pretty well recognized
as a psychological law that it is
difficult for persons who aro
well fed, well clothed and far
removed from the causes of
starvation and deprivation" in
other parts of the world to ap
preciate fully at all times the
deplorable conditions which are
being suffered by other .human
ities?' 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.

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. The
victory enabled Army to com
plete its second consecutive sea
son unbeaten and untied.
Today's victory was Army's
24th in the series that started in
1890 and the wondrous West
Pointers' 18th consecutive tri
umph since the opening of the
1944 season.
Army scored three touch
downs in the first period, and
one each in the third and fourth,
while Navy picked up its touch
downs in the second and fourth
period, the latter on a one foot
buck through the middle of
Army's varsity line. It was the
first time Army regulars had
been scored upon by rushing
this year, -
Blanchard Stars
Army's 205 - pound bruising
fullback, Felix (Doc) Blanchard,
accounted, for three-Army touch
downs, First was on a line
smash culminating a 58-yard
drive when the game was little
mora than three minutes old.
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.
Russia Delays
Withdrawal
By SPENCER MOOSA
CHUNGKING, Dec. 1 (JP)
Russia has agreed to delay
withdrawal of Soviet forces
from Manchuria until January
3, the Chinese government an
nounced today
The agreement will enable
Chinese government personnel
to take over the administration
of Manchuria and will permit
Chinese government troops to
move in before the Soviet with
drawal is completed, the an
nouncement stated.
It was for this purpose, the
government said, that the date
was changed. The Russians had
been scheduled to withdraw De
cember 3, but Generalissimo
Chiang Kai-shek feared that
Chinese communists thick in
Manchuria would assume con
trol if Soviet forces were evac
uated that soon. Central gov
ernment troops have not yet
been able to penetrate the ter-,
ritory in controlling strength. '

Diver Finds
School Bus
On Bottom
CHELAN, Wash., Dee. 1 MP)
A school bus, which carried the
driver and 15 students to their
deaths in Lake Chelan last Mon
day, was found by a navy diver
in 200 feet of water, 250 feet off
shore shortly after 10 a. m. to
day. The diver. C. E. Meyers of
New York City, reported the bus
was resting upside down, facing
shoreward. ' ;
Sheriff Bruce Parkinson said
a line would be placed around
the front axle and an effort
made to raise the bus almost to
the surface of the lake, from
which point divers would - en
deavor to remove the bodies be
fore lifting the car out of the
water.
Chief Torpedoman Meyers re
ported that he could not enter
the bus because its door was
Jammed against the lake bottom.
He .remained onder water for
several minutes examining the
wrecked machine, reporting his
findings by telephone to his
helpers on a barge anchored off
shore. '
Later Meyers, who was re
moved to the decompression
chamber to recover from his
dive, said that he believed all of
the bodies were in the bus. He
said he could see dimly the en
tire length of the machine. It ap
peared that the emergency door
was open, he said.
The divers were working
at a depth of 210 feet.
State Patrol Capt. F. H. Mor
gan confirmed earlier informa
tion that the bodies would be re
moved from the bus before it
was towed down the lake to Che

Wilson, in a letter last night

the strike continues, to operate
all its part and accessory divi

Hess, Relieved By Confession Of Fakery,
Held Eligible For Trial With Other Nazis
NUERNBERG, Dec. 'l (JP)
Tha international, military tribu
nal ruled today that Rudolf
Hess, who confessed he had been
faking amnesia, must continue
to stand trial with 19 other nazi
leaders accused of war crimes. :
' Lord Justice Sir Geoffrey
Lawrence, presiding, announced
that no further mental examina
tions of Hitler's former deputy
were necessary and that he was
capable of standing trial. ,'
Hess, who had read novels and
Said scant attention to early por
ons of the trial, created a sen
sation, yesterday when he told
the court he had simulated loss
of memory for "tactical" reasons
and announced he would stand
responsible for all of his actions.
The black-browed Hess ap
peared much relieved by his con
fession and for tho first time
since the trial began engaged in ;
lively conversation with other
prisoners in the box just before
the session opened.
Hess had Grand Admiral Karl
Doenitz and Erich Raeder shak
ing with laughter before the
court session opened when he
told them how he pretended loss
of memory and partial insanity.
All other defendants were absent
yesterday when Hess made his
sensational confession and most
of them were convulsed with
laughter when they learned of it
for the first time today.
Freed of further need of main
taining the absent-minded pose
of a man who remembered noth
ing of the war years and his
ruthless power as Hitler's dep
uty. Hess followed the court pro-
ceedines closely. Missine for the
first time was tho novel -which
he read during the opening, day
of the hearing. ,.:--
Hess boasted of his skilled
navigation on his mysterious
flight to Britain four yeare ago
When quesuonea Drieiiy ui uu
cell before the trial by Maj.
Douelas Kelley. U. S. army psy.
chiatrist.
He confirmed reports m m
had left a note to Hitler telling
him he was going to appeal for
peace in the hope of what he
called saving civilization from
bolshevism. He told Kelley he
wanted to make a direct appeal
to Britain's king.
Kelley said he had not told
any correspondent that Hess had
planned to take King George
back to Germany.
Kelley said all Hess told him
was that he had hoped to make
an appeal to the king of England
to help stop the war. . t
