Gen. Marshall
To Succeed
Hurley In China
WASHINGTON, Nov. 28—(/Pi
President Truman called on his
most lavishly praised wartime
lieutenant, General Marshall, to
step into the world’s number one
postwar trouble spot, China. Amid
signs of increasing American con
cern over the Civil War in China,
Truman quickly followed Maj.
Gen. Pat Hurley’s spectacular
resignation as ambassador yester
day by calling Marshall from his
week-old retirement.
The former Army Chief of Staff
becomes a special envoy to China
as a temporary replacement of
General Hurley, who caught both
President Truman and Secretary
Byrnes by surprise with his fif
teen hundred word statement that
he was quitting.
General Hurley asserted that
American career diplomats had
sided with both Chinese Commu-1
nists and the “imperialistic bloc to
hamstring the U. S. foreign policy
in the Far East.” Hurley warned,
in his statement that a third world
war was “in the making.”

tailers can absorb the increase.

Grew Testifies
Codes Destroyed
J
WASHINGTON, Nov. 28—OP)—
Former Ambassador Grew testi
fied that some codes used by the
American Embassy in Tokyo were
destroyed before war broke out
on December seventh. Some were
not destroyed until after the Japs
attacked Pearl Harbor, he told the
Senate and House Committee in
vestigating the disaster.
The inquiry also brought these
developments and moves within
the committee: to hear Marshall
before he leaves for China as
President Truman's special envoy.
A brief flurry came over the
suggestion of Senator Bremster,
that the committee counsel be
permitted to go through Grew’s
personal diary in search of items
which perhaps should be studied.
Cordell Hull was excused from
testifying today because of the
cold rainy weather.
