North American Newspaper Alliance.
A check of the steps by which
the now-full-blown story of
Harry Dexter White was born
revealed yesterday how a we'll
planned Republican program was
upset by the publicity enthusi-
asm of Representative Harold
Velde. Republican, of Illinois.
Mr.. Velde made the White
story headline of the week last
Tuesday when he subpoenaed
former President Truman to ap-
pear before the House Un-Amer-
ican Activities Committee to ex-
plain why he promoted his As
Sistant Secretary of the Treas
ury to a better job after the FBI
had warned him of Whites sus-
pected Soviet spy-ring connec-
tiOnS.
simultaneously, the Illinois
Congressman gave a big boost
to Democratic claim that the
Eisenhower administration was
accusing Mr.. Truman of per-
sonal disloyalty. That, it is now
revealed. was not the way At
torney General Brownell planned
it when he lit the White story
fuse at a Chicago luncheon
speech Friday, November 6.
President Eisenhower and Mr..
Brownell have already revealed
that the President was first in
formed on Monday. November 2,
of the planned expose of the
White case and gave it his ap-
proval.
How It Was Planned.
The chronology of what hap
pened thereafter indicates how
the Attorney General hoped
things would subsequently de-
velop:
He was to make his speech
before the Executives Club of
Chicago and reveal "for the
first time in public" that Mr..
Truman promoted White to the
United States dictatorship of the
international Monetary Fund
after the FBI had warned him
Of Whites Communist connec-
tions.
Then the proper" congress
Sional committee was to docu-
ment the charge further at q
dignifled public hearing.
After that every one was to
sit back and wait for Mr.. Tru-
man to answer, if he could, or
would.
The proper" committee was
to be the Senate Internal Sc
curity Committee headed by
Senator Jenner, Republican, of
Indiana, not Mr.. Velde's House
group nor Senator McCarthy's
Government Operations Com
mittee, either of which, it was
feared, might flavor the affair
with a flamboyance the planners
did not want.
That Senator Jenner would get
the hearing was assured; his
committee already knew of the
1945 FBI report from testimony
given weeks before by former
Assistant Attorney General T.
Lamar Caudle; Senator McCar-
thy and Mr.. Velde, caught fiat
footed, would not, it was as
sumed, be ready to move.
Loyalty not on Issue.
Thus was it planned and Mr..
Brownell proceeded accordingly.
G. Frederick Mullen, Justice
Department press officer, wrote
the first section of the Brownell
Speech-seven pages of judicial
platitudes; Mr.. Brownell himself
wrote the last six pages with the
explosive charge.
Key sentences show Mr..
Brownell did not question Mr..
Truman's personal loyalty.
He said Reds infiltrated Gov
ernment in the Truman regime
because of the unwillingness of
non-Communists in responsible

with MFR. Velde in his Virginia
apartment all afternoon. Mr..
Clardy favored the Truman sub
poena but argued that it should
be delayed because: "I, as a law
yer, don't like to try cases back
ward; we ought to get the story
on record and then hear Tru-
man" Mr.. Velde for a time
silenced that argument by say
ing that Mr.. O'Brien, speaking
for the Republican committee
had approved the subpoena.
Late in the afternoon Repub-
lican National Chairman Leon
ard w. Hall telephoned Mr..
Velde from Los Angeles telling
him that Mr.. Humphreys was
going to contact him with a
message and that he (HalD
hoped Mr.. Velde would listen to
it.
From 9 pm. Wednesday until
l am. Thursday there was an
other apartment huddle. Mr..
Humphreys and Mr.. Clardy both
now admit the subject was a Ma
tional Committee plea that Mr..
Truman should not be subpenaed
and that Mr.. Velde's committee
should not run a competing in
vestigation with Sen. Jenner.
Mr.. Velde agreed to postpone
the Truman subpoena indefinite
ly. He so announced Thursday
morning but too late to kill the
effect of Mr.. Truman's dignified
refusal to obey the committee
order.
Meanwhile, the well-laid plan
was off the track.
Charge Was Diluted.
President Eisenhower had had
to state Wednesday that he per-
sonally disapproved of the SUBJ
poena. In the course of a press
conference give-and-take the
President, answering a complaint
that Republicans were trying tc
make a subversiye of Mr.. Tru-
man, not only denied that but
went further and diluted the
Brownell charge. He said il
would be beyond his credence
to think Mr.. Truman had know
ingly kept a Communist spy ir
Office. 9ies e#
Finally, Thursday afternoon
Mr.. Jenner held his "dignifled'
hearing to document" the orig.
inal Brownell charge. Planned
as a climax" it was tame stuff
after the subpoena furor ane
the Presidents press conference
Looking at the plan gone
awry today, Representative
Clardy summed up the sac
situation.
"They can't blame the HOUSE
committee" he said, IF things
went bad. We have a duty tC
protect and inform the public
We set out to perform that duty
If they didn't expect it, it's not
our fault. We should have been
taken into their confidence.
I'm not being critical, but
things just do go wrong some
times"

Truman Should Testify
Under Oath, MI 'CarihY Says
BY the Assoeiaisd Press

PORTLAND, Me-, Nov. a.
Senator Mccarthy, Republican,
Of Wisconsin tonight termed for
mer President Truman's sched-
uled Monday night broadcast on
the Harry Dexter White case "a
poor substitute for being under
oath"
Informed OF Mr.. Truman's an
nounced intention ito tell all the
facts" Senator Mccarthy told a
news conference:
Harry Truman is being &C
cused Of the most serious mis-
conduct any President has been
accused of. He should come in
under oath and testify. :"
"I'm not prejudging Truman
Senator Mccarthy added. "but
he should be called like anybody

Monetary Fund and too big a
quota in the World Bank. It
never Joined.
At Breton Woods, as at every
negotiating conference, White
was a hard dealer. In his posi-
tions he naturally dealt with the
financial community. but he did
not seem to like businessmen
generally and they did not ap-
pear to like him.
The social life of the Whites
in suburban Bethesda, Md,
where they lived with their two
daughters, does not appear to
have been extensive. Both
Whites were avid readers and
White liked to play tennis and
ping pong.
Chambers and Miss Bentley
each charged that White was not
a card-carrying Communist but
rather Communist dupe who
passed information to their
agents. Chambers testified be-
fore the House Un-American Ac-
tivities Committee on August 3,
1913:
II can't say positively that he
was a registered member of the
Communist Party, but he GER
tainly was a fellow traveller so
far within the fold that his not
being a Communist would be a
mistake on both Sides"
Asked whether he had urged
White to cut his alleged Com
munist Affiliations, Chambers
replied:
II didn't ask him to leave the
Communist Party but to break
away from the Communist move
ment. He left me, apparently in
a very agitated frame of mind,
and I thought I had succeeded.
Apparently I did not"
Denied Charges.
When White appeared before
the committee he declared in
part:
There is and can be no basis
in fact whatever for such a
charge. The principles in which
I believe and by which I live
make it impossible for me ever
to do a disloyal act or anything
against the interests of my
country.
II believe in the right and
duty of every citizen to work for,
to expect and to obtain an in
creasing measure Of political,
economic and emotional security
for all. I am opposed to
discrimination in any form,
whether on grounds Of race,
color, religious. political belief or
economic status"
When he finished, there was
applause in the committee room.
Chambers today is mum re-
garding White.
Former Secretary of the Treas
ury Henry Morgenthau, jr., will
not discuss White, says his sec
retary.
The man who recommended
White for Government service, a
distinguished economist at a
leading university, is in a hos
pital and cannot be disturbed.

Why Not Arizona Too?

There is ample evidence that Tucson organizations
maturing in many among which is the develop
ment of leadership participation in regional and district
meetings of their respective groups.
It strikes there is something missing in the demo-
cratic process with regard to broad participation and
representation when Tucsonans not considered with
rare exceptions for regional offices and regional
district board members We would not like to think that
politics. factor
Just because the Los Angeles area for example has
large membership and consequently delegates, making
easier to board meeting is not sound reason for
that to get practically every spot The thinking
of the socaled hnterland would be found valuable in
regional board deliberations. In turn there would be
stimulated local participation.
National service agencies, etc. on the regional level
in preparing states of candidates should remember their
Arizona counterparts.
