man, but he told Hurley in no uncertain terms to curb his temper. He also told him that Rostow had been hos pitalized out of the Army and de- manded that Hurley apologize. Hurley did so, but continued to talk about the "stuffed-shirt dip l lomats in the State Department who were Reviewing to the British"

 That was when Hurley first sounded off against the career diplomats. It was not, however, the first time he had threatened to take his issue to the country All during the election spring and summer of 1914, Roosevelt was nervous lest Hurley should sound off against the British, their misuse of Lend-Lease, their operations in the Near East, and make this an election issue
 Several times in talks with friends, the rambunctious Pat had to stump the country over the question of Roosevelt's al legged close ties with British im- perialism" and Russian Com munism" This fear, incidentally, may have been one factor in send ing Hurley to far-off China
 BYRNES' BEAR-BY- THE TAIL
 Byrnes and Truman both knew they had a bear by the tail and didn't know how to let go They had talked with Hurley the day before he resigned and he had promised to go back to China. First news to the contrary was what Secretary Byrnes read on the news ticker. He called up Hurley immediately.
 Pat" he said, "is this true? You promised me you wouldn't do this"
 'Yes, I know" replied the ire pressible Pat, but I had to do it; had to. I changed my mind. ! They're cutting me up the back"
 Abruptly Byrnes hung up the phone.
 Friends say that Hurley will run for the Senate from New Mexico and two years hence would like to make a stab at the Presidency. Regarding the latter goal seasoned Republican politicos say he won't have a chance,
 Yet you can't entirely discount Pat Hurley. He has spent life time pulling himself up by the boot-strapS-and he has succeeded | Tragedy is that he takes himself seriously, whereas most others don't. Yet if he hadn't taken him self seriously he never would have gotten where he is. And whatever his shortcomings, Pat Hurley has come a long way-in about the only country save England where a one-time mule-driver in an Okla homa coal mine can become Secre- tary of War and Ambassador to China
