Quotes From BrowneH
Address in CHICAGO

So much for the committee.
Now for the charge which Mr..
Brownell made in his political
speech-a charge that I know
ingly betrayed the security of
the United States. Let me read
you what Mr.. Brownell said.
He said: Harry Dexter
White was known to be a Com
munist spy by the very people
who appointed him to the most

The tert OF former President
Trumdn'S radio and teleUiSion
address from Kansas City last
night tollotOS::
On November 6 the new ad-
miniStration, through Herbert
BroWnell, jr., a former chair
man of the Republican Ma
tional Committee now serving
as Attorney General, made a
personal attack on me.
Brownell made this attack in
the course of a political speech
before luncheon club in Chi
cago. This attack is without
parallel, I believe, in the, his
tory of our country. I have
been accused, in effect, of
knowingly betraying the Sc
curity of the United States.
This charge is, of course. a
falSehood, and the man who
made it had every reason to
know it is a falsehood.
On Tuesday, November 10,
as a direct result of this
charge, was served with a
subpoena of the House Com
mittee on Un- Activi-
ties, which called on me to ap-
pear before it to be questioned
about my conduct of the Office
of the President of the United
States.
First, would like to tell you,
the people of America, why I
declined to appear before that
committee. On the surface, it
might seem to be an easy
thing, and smart politics, for
Harry Truman, now a private
citizen of Independence, Mo-,
to use that committee as a
forum to answer the scurrilous
charges which have been made
against me. Many people
urged me to do that. 1t was
an attractive suggestion and
appealed to me. But if I'd
done it, I would have been a
party with the committee to
an action which would have
undermined the constitutional
position of the Office of Presi-
dent of the United States.

"In world where powers seem
devilishly clever in dividing races,

indignant over official sugges-

long to a guilty group.
"They feel they have stood
solidly against communism. and
are unable to identify single
Communist among their more
than $4,000 ministers. Here is
a gross state invasion of sacred
areas of the churches"
The speaker also deplored the
tendency of some people to re-
gard "a positive effort to uphold
American constitutional church,
state separation" as an attack
on some church'S faith or wor-
ship. That. of course, is un-
fair. and due to plain ignorance
or to wilful Misrepresentation"

Resents Instructions
Against Vinson's Name

But Mr.. Brownell knows
that, in this matter. while
the final decision was mine, I
relied on my principal advisers.
One of them-one of those
most concerned-was the then
Secretary Of the Treasury, and
later the beloved Chief Justice
of the United States, Fred M.
Vinson, who is now dead. No
man ever knew was a more
patriotic American. The wild
imputations Of diSloyalty which
Mr.. Brownell has made were
directed not only against me.
but also against him. I do not
mind too much for myself or
for those members of my
cabinet who are alive, for we
are able to defend ourselves.
But I deeply resent these
cowardly insinuations against
one who is dead.
There is one aspect of this
affair that should be clear to
every one. That is the obvious
political motivation of this at
tack on me. In launching this
attack, the Republican Attor-
ney General worked hand in
glove with the Republican Ma
tional Committee. The man.
ner and the timing of what
has been done make it per-
fectly clear that the powers Of
the Attorney General have
been prostituted for hopes of
political gain. No election is
worth so much.
The whole history of our
Republic does not reveal any
other such attack as this by a
new administration on an out
going President. Up to now, no
administration has ever ac-
cuSed a former President of
disloyalty. In Com m unist
countries. it is the practice
when a new government comes
to power to accuse outgoing
officials Of treason, to frame
public trials for them, and to
degrade and prosecute the key
officials of the previous gov
eminent. That is the way the
Communists. whose only god
is power, run their public af-
fairs. It is not the way Ameri-
cans behave.

January they will return to
England as Sir William Elliot
will be due for retirement
then.
They love Washington, are
not anxious to leave and will
be missed on the local scene.
The reason for their moving

relinquish Greystone, which
they formerly occupied, when

his wife, returned from Paris.
