BrowneNSoys WhteH House Got
Months Warning AboutWhite

The teTt OF q statement is
sued late yesterday By Attorney
General Bro,UneH in reference
to the Harry DEXTER White case
tollows:
Last Friday, I disclosed
that the records in the De-
partment of Justice show that
the Truman administration
before appointing Harry Dex-
ter White as executive direc-
tor for the United States in
the International Monetary
Fund had twice been told by
the Director of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation that
White was known to be en-
gagged in espionage activity for
the benefit of the Soviet Gov
ernment. I made this dis
closure because l believe that
the American people are en-
titled to know these facts.
Since last Friday the question
has been raised in the press as
to whether the information
that White was a spy was
transmitted to the White
House before or after Whites
appointment.
White entered upon his
duties and assumed the Office
of Executive Director for the
United States in the Inter-
national Monetary Fund on
May l. 1916, having been first
publicly nominated for the
position by President Truman
on January %, 1946, and hav-
ing been confirmed by the Sen
ate on February 6, 1916.
The records, in the Depart
ment of Justice show that
months prior to Whites enter
ing upon office. Mr.. j. Edgar
Hoover, Director of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, on
two separate occasions sent
reports describing Whites
spying activities to the White
House for the attention of the
President with copies also to

ter, suggested to the Presi-
dent he might ask some one in
the Senate about moving to
reconsider the vote by which
the nomination was approved.
He did not think well of that
suggestion. l then suggested
to him that the only other
thing he could do would be to
refuse to issue commission to
White He said he had been
advised on a previous occasion
that once the Senate had
acted he could be required to
sign a commission. I told him
if he should send for White
and tell about Hoover's report,
White would never resort to
the courts.
I got the impression that
the President was disposed to
follow that course. However,
he said he wanted to think it
over.
During our conversation the
President had told me he ap-
pointed White upon the rec
ommendation of the Secretary
of the Treasury, Mr.. Vinson.
Later that afternoon Mr.. Vim
son came to my Office. He
said the President had told
him of what had occurred and
of my recommendation. Mr..
Vinson was quite worried about
it. However, ! got the impress
sion that he agreed with my
suggestion that the President
refuse to commission White.
He said he was going to talk
with the President again about
it.
I heard no more from either
of them about the matter, but
later l noticed in the press
that White was commissioned
by the President and became
executive director of the In
ternational Monetary Fund.

Copies of Report Sent
To Other Top Officials

The first of these occasions
was on December 4, l945. AS
I mentioned in my speech last
Friday. on that day the FBI
transmitted to Brig. Gen.
Harry H. Vaughan, military
aide to the President. for the
attention of the President, a
general report on the subject
of Soviet espionage activity in
the United States, which re-
port was dated November 27.
1945. and contained among
other things. summary of the
espionage activities of Harry
Dexter White as of that date.
Because of the general nature
of this report: copies were
sent by the FBI to other top
administration officials and che
records show that copies were
sent by the FBI on December
4. 1945, to Attorney General
Tom c. Clark and Secretary of
State James F. ByrneS; on
December 7, 1945 to James v.
ForreStal, the Secretary of the

Dexter White case"
Mr.. Mitchell, who retired in
March, 1851, after 18 years as
chairman of the commission,
told newSmen yesterday:

in newspapers in connection
with the matter. I cannot under
stand why the FBI report on
him (White) would not be sent
to the Loyalty Board before it
would go to the President or
any other official"

THAT time, the Loyalty Board
had jurisdiction in all loyalty
matters over every Government
employe, no matter how high
his position"
Mr.. Mitchell said Mr.. Truman
was so anxious to eliminate dis
loyalty in the Government serv-
ice that he appointed special
commission to make a study of
the problem and report TO him.

sion.
Our report was accepted by
the President and he issued an
executive order creating a 10y atty
board to be appointed by and
under the jurisdiction of the
Civil Service Commission, TO in
vestigate every employe in the
Government"
Kept in Close Touch.
Mr.. Mitchells statement was
in connection with a charge by
Attorney General Brownell that
White was promoted in The face
Of FBI reports that the late
Treasury official was a Soviet
spy.
In saying he knew nothing
about the White case, Mr.. Nit
chell added:
LAS the head of the United
States Civil Service Commission,
l probably was in closer touch
with the President in the matter
of diSloyalty within the Gov
ernment than any other person. !"
