Widespread
Hurley Probe

Wa ;hington, Dec. 3-AP-An Adj
minis.ration spokesman IN Goa
gress contended today that Republi-
cans are injecting politics into the
foreign policy controversy touched
off by Mai Gen. Patrick j. Hurley's
resignation as ambassador to China.
Rep. Sparkman of Alabama, new
ly designated as House Democratic
whip, made the assertion in urging
that any investigation OF Hurley's
criticisms be confined to the SEN
ate Foreign Relations Committee.
The letter group has invited Hur-
ley to appear Wednesday.
However, an influential Republi-
can Rep. MIndt OF South Dakota
recommended widespread
probe, asserting that the Senate

ably on the administration.
