Disloyally Of
Diplomats
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7—i/P)—
Secretary Byrnes declared there
is not any kind of evidence of dis
loyalty on the part of the two
American diplomats whom Maj.
Gen. Hurley charged with seeking
to wreck his efforts in unified
China.
Secy. Byrnes also challenged
Gen. Hurley’s assertion that dur
ing his service as Ambassador in
Chungking that he had been un
able to get a public statement of
American policy toward China
from Truman, Brynes, or any
other ranking officials.
Appearing before the Senate
Foreign Relations committee at
the hearing of the evidence of
Hurley’s resignation of the China
post last week, Byrnes said Hur
ley never asked him for such a
statment, nor made a written re
quest for it to the State Depart
ment, as far as Byrnes had been
able to find out.
Weather Delayed
Hitler’s Attack For
Six Months
i
NUERNBERG, Dec. 7 — (,<P) —
Hitler’s armies were poised for in
vasion of the low countries and
France on November 7, 1939, but
the attack was postponed week by
week for six months because of
I
bad weather, official German rec
ords disclosed at the war crimes
trial.
While the rest of the world
spoke sarcastically of the “phony
war,” the German military ma
chine was ready and “waiting
only favorable weather,” accord
ing to records introduced before
the international military tri
bunal.
British prosecutors turned most
of their evidence against Germany
military and naval leaders among
the twenty top ranking Hitlerites
accused as war criminals, point
ing out that their part in the plans
for the crushing invasion, while
Hitler deceitfully told Holland,
Belgium and Luxembourg that he
had no plans to attack them. The
fifth column conquest of Norway
and Denmark was only a prelude
to the invasion a month later of
the low countries, the evidence
showed.
SON INHERITS DAD’S
GOLF AND BEATS HIM
AKRON, O.— (j*P) —For years
Bill Bebout has been an outstand
ing player in this area.
He was happy the day, ten
years ago when he took his seven
year old son, Bob, out on the
course for the youngster’s first
lesson*. Father and son had many
a hard fought match. But Dad al
ways won.
There came a day, however, not
so long ago. Father and son are
employed by the Goodyear Tire
and Rubber Company, and when
the annual company champion
ship tourney rolled around, the
Bebouts were prominent contend
ers. They met in the final of a
flight.
You guessed it. Young Bob,
now 17, beat his dad, 1 up!
