u. S. DIPLOMACY:
DuDIicitv CHARGED

Long under fire for its implemen-
tation of American foreign policy in
the wake of U. S. victories on the
battlefield, the state department
was scheduled for congressional in
vestigation following ex-Amb. Pat
rick Hurley's charge that some of
its personnel had worked counter to
his efforts to promote the uni
fication of China.
In loosing his bombshell on Capt.
tol Hill, Hurley declared that GER
tain professional diplomats were in
viting future conflict by siding with
the Chinese communist party and
the imperialistic bloc of nations in
keeping China divided against
itself and unable to resist encroach-
ment.
While he worked for a democratic
China which could act as stabilizing
influence in the Orient, Hurley
charged, some state department of
ficials told the Chinese communists
that his activities did not reflect the
policy of the U. S. and they should
IlOL CLltS1 1ilCO q ulliilCu SOVSIIlIIlC1it
unless retaining military control.
Agreement to investigate the
state department followed the de-
mand of Senator Wherry (Rep.,
Neb.) for an inquiry to determine
whether there was any variance be-
tween U. S. foreign policy and the
Potsdam declaration and whether
the foreign service was interfering
with domestic affairs in South
America, influencing other coun-
tries toward communist govern
ment, or clashing with the army
and navy over occupation policy.
Meanwhile, Gen. George C. Mar
shall, ex-chief of staff, prepared to
embark upon his duties as special
envoy to China in the midst Of
Chang Kai-shek's redoubling Of ef-
forts to unity the country and open
the way for vigorous postwar eco
nornic expansion. In announcing his
program to modernize the country,
Chang declared the No. goal
would be the Improvement Of trans
portation to facilitate an exchange
of materials between the various
regions. t

PEARL HARBOR:
Kept Ton Secret

Because of a desire to keep secret
the U. S. breaking of the Japa-
nese code, the intercepted mes
sages revealing Jap political and
military moves were belnown only
to nine top officials, Maj. Gen. Sher-
man Miles, former head of army in
telligence, told the congressional
committee investigating Pearl Har-
Dor.
Along with President Roosevelt,
others possessing knowledge of the
decoded messages included Secre-
tary of War Stimson, Secretary Of
State Hull, 1t. Gen. L. T. Gerow,
head of the war plans division, Sec
retary of the Navy Knox, Admiral
Stark, chief Of naval operations, Col.
r. S. Bratton of the army intelli-
gence staff, Gen. George c. Mar
shall, chief of staff, and Miles.
Though Maj. Gen. Walter Short
and Rear Adm. Husband KiInmel
were not apprized of the breaking Of
the code, Miles said, they were kept
informed of the course of events.
However, with officials anticipating
an attack in the far east, Short
and Kimmel were advised to take
only such action as they deemed
necessary at Pearl Harbor and
guard against sabotage.
When asked what significance
was attached to a decoded Jap mes
sage of Sept. "a, 194l, asking espion-
age agents in Hawaii to advise
Tokyo of the disposition of the
American feet in Pearl Harbor,
Miles replied: "Taken alone, it looks
exactly like what we know now it
was-a plan for bombing Pearl Har-
Dor. But unless we look on it with
hindsight, it was only one of a great
number Of Jap messages seeking in
formation on our warships. It was
perfectly normal for them to be
doing so. :"

CERMANY:
ReUie1v Rule

With French obstruction to Allied
plans for a central administration
for Germany resulting in the eco
nomic breakup of the Reich and diff
ficulties for a restoration of nor
malcy, the U. S. was asked to study
the advisability of revising the Pots
dam declaration pledging this coun-
try to its present course.
In urging a re-examination Of
U. S. occupation policies, Byron
Price, former director of the Office
Of censorship who undertook a spe-
cial mission to Europe for Presi-
dent Truman, declared that the Ger
man people were nursing old and
new hatreds with increasing bitter
ness as their sufferings increased
and disposing themselves to what
ever new leadership desperation
may produce.
With German agriculture and in
dustry seriously impaired during
the closing stages of the war, Price
said the U. S. must also decide
whether to deliver foodstuffs to the
country to prevent starvation and
epidemics this winter and help re-
move some causes for unrest.

Cruiser Carries Name of Michigan
City Into Glory In Tokyo Bay

Michigan has no proud battle
wagon to carry her name into To-
kyo Bay this month. but one of
the scrappiest ships in the entire
Navy will see to it that the land of
the Wolverine gets its share Of the
glory.
She is the USS Flint, trim 5000
ton antiaircraft cruiser named in
honor of one of Michigans lead
ing cities.
The men who serve aboard her
agree that there's never a dull mo-
ment aboard the Flint, whether the
occasion be action against the enc
my or a more subtle party Just
now the men are staging a double
barreled celebration. No. l is the
defeat of the enemy No. is the
first anniversary of the USS Flint,
on August 81.
The ship, operating with Admi-
raj HalSey's Third Fleet off the
/ coast of Japan when surrender
came, looks back on year filled
with action Nine of her II months
found the cruiser in the forward
area.
She joined the fleet in the midst
of the Philippine campaign The
Flint first went into action with
Task Force 38. The unit was oper-
ating between LuZOn and FOrmoSa
knocking out Jap air power Suicide
tactics by the Jap pilots were just
beginning TO be a threat.
Earl in January the Flint ac-
companied the force in its smash
through the South China Sea. La
ter. when the USS Ticonderoga
suffered two suicide hits, she
helped the carrier to safety.
In February the Flint took part
in the first major strike on Tokyo
She steamed almost within sight
Of the Jap homeland. Throughout
the month, operating between To-
kyo and Two Jima the cruiser con-
tinued to support the -increas-
ing attacks on enemy installations.
For two weeks preceding the
Okinawa invasion, the Flint steam
ed within the shadow of the Jap
coastline while carrier planes were
destroying the enemy.

hurried down the one fight Of stairs
to the street. As he slipped out of the

As he neared his uncle's house. the

But the night was as black as ever.
He ooasted up to the curb in front

Al then threw the gun - his
uncle's gun - on the lawn. There
were no fingerprints. 1t would clinch
Agnes guilt.
As HE drove back toward town. he
turned on the car radio and listened
to his own news cast. Still on the
International news. That meant there
was about six minutes yet to 90. He
parked the car and hurried to the
radio station. As he walked down the
hall, he heard his voice coming from
the speakers. News from the nations

time then he'd figured. Everything
had gone perfectly - no one had
seen him.

him.
