Treasury, Fred Vinson, who
was Mr.. Whites boss, about
the problem of what to do
about Mr.. White.
Mr.. Hoover also revealed
that one of the reasons why a
grand jury later failed to indict
White was that important evi-
dence against him had to be
withheld as it had been taken
by wiretap and was mad
missible before Federal grand
juries and courts. He gave the
strongest character reference
to Elizabeth Bentley, whose
testimony about Mr.. White was
the most damaging of all, say
ing that the FBI had found
her unusually reliable.
He rose to prolonged ap-
plause. He had broken his
self-imposed rule never to ap-
pear in political controversy.
Chairman Jenner, recognizing
all the overtones in this de-
parture from precedent, had
tried to cover him with an
unctuous homily about Mr..
Hoover's superiority to con-
troversy. But Mr.. Hoover then
plunged squarely into the
middle of one of the greatest
controversies of our contro-
versial times.
Attorney General Brownell
was at last making the
appearance before the Jen-
ner committee that he had
planned before the White case
inadvertently ran off the track.
This was partly Mr.. Brownells
own doing since he overstated
his case and thereby impugned
the loyalty of Mr.. Truman.
The wreckage was completed
by Chairman Velde of the
House Un-American Activities
Committee who grabbed at a
chance to get into the act.
Mr.. Velde was finally
squelched by the Republican
National Committee, though
unfortunately they had to do
it practically in public, and the
At torneya General got his
chance to make a dignif1ed

The Politically A|oof Mr.. Hoover
F6l Director Preserves the Necessary Separation
OF Our Federal Police From Political Controversy
Thon1os [. Stokes

Former President Truman
performed a most useful pub
lie service for the long range
in his. treatment of the Harry
Dexter White case in his radio
television speech by putting
the FBI in it's proper role in
our Government.
He did not mention j. Edgar
Hoover, FBI chief, but confined
himself to his conferences
with the cabinet officers Of
jurisdiction in the White af-
fair-then Secretary Of Treas
ury Fred M. Vinson and then
Attorney General Tom Clark.
The Presidents omission of
Mr.. Hoover in his speech rec
ognized the long practice Of
the FBI head, a necessary as
well as praiseworthy one. in
keeping aloof from politics into
which the Brownell- Truman
White affair has become en-
broiled.
The Federal Bureau Of In
vestigation, Of which Mr.. Hoo
yer has been the director for
20 years. is under the De-
partment of Justice, the in
vestigative and police arm Of
that department. It is not an
independent agency, nor is Mr..
Hoover an independent opera
tor. He, himself, showed his
appreciation Of that when he
told the Senate Internal Sc
curity Subcommittee, in his
surprise appearance. that he
could not become a party to
any agreement about keeping
Mr.. White in the International
Monetary Fund, to which he
was being transferred from
the Treasury, so he could be
kept under surveillance by the
FBI.
1t was for the President to
make the decision as to the
course to be followed with Mr..
White, which is what he did,
after consulting the two cabi-
net officers directly involved,
even though Mr.. Hoover said
he told Attorney General
Clark that the FBI would be
"hampered" in surveillance of

fidential reports in my possess
sion to disclose charges against
individuals except through
established court procedures.
Those of us in the Depart
ment Of Justice will never vio-
late that basic concept Of our
American jurisprudence"
He explained that the White
case was different because the
basic facts had previously,
been published. His pledge
was reassuring: for it would
be dangerous. indeed. if our
chief law officer should try
to take the FBI into partner
ship and use it politically. It
is inconceivable that j. Edgar
Hoover would consent to such
a partnership, or that Presi-
dent Eisenhower would per-
NIT it.
j. Edgar Hoover embraces
in himself the very symbol of
divorce of the FBI from poll
tics. When, a young man of
20, he was made director Of
the Bureau of Investigation,
as it was known then, in 1924,
1t was for the very purpose Of
cleaning up a mess caused by
exploitation of the Bureau of
Investigation for political pur-
poses under the regime Of
Harry M. Daugherty as At
torney General in the Warren
G. Harding administration.
Mr.. Hoover was promoted from
assistant director and put in
complete charge of the clean
up and reorganization by At
torney General Harlan F..
Stone. later Chief Justice of
the United States, who was
appointed by President Calvin
Coolidge to succeed Mr.. Daugh-
erty.
Any one who covered the
Senate investigation of the
Daugherty regime, as this re-
porter did, and saw how dam.
gerous can be the misuse of a
Federal police and investiga-
tive agency for political pur-
poses. would shudder at the
thought that there was the
slightest chance of such hap
pening.

The Last Chapter Is Yet to Come
White Case Combotonts Expected to Re-enter Froy
Trunon Is Likely to Have Much More to Say

The White case has blown
to tempestuous climax with
the speech by former Presi-
dent Truman. testimony be-
fore the Senate Internal Sc
curity Committee by Attorney
General Brownell and a prece-
dent-breaking appearance be-
fore the same committee by
FBI Director John Edgar
Hoover. MI. Hoover is an es-
pecially powerful item of ar
tillery drawn into battle on
the Republican side.
All this drama and excite
ment were packed into "a
hours. Climactic as they are,
no one in this shaken city be-
lieves for a moment that they
were conclusive. Without much
time out even for a licking of
wounds, the combatants are
apt to get back into the fray.
1t is unlikely that Mr.. Tru-
man will consider that his
television speech contained the
last words he will want to say
on the subject.
Mr.. Hoover stole the show at
the committee hearing from
his boss, Attorney General
BroWnell. The Senate caucus
room, packed for the occasion,
rang with applause when the
familiar stocky figure entered.
By contrast Mr.. Brownell was
almost unnoticed.
During Mr.. Brownell'S long
testimony. Mr.. Hoover sat
quietly, flanked by the ever
present aides. There was
burst of excitement in the
room when at last it appeared
that the FBI director was
there, not as an interested
spectator, but as a performer
on the platform provided by
the committee.
Mr.. Hoover, it was quickly
obvious. was annoyed. There
had been rumors, some of them
in print. that the FBI had
agreed to the retention of
Harry Dexter White in his
Government job in order to be
able to do better job of keep
ing him under surveillance.
This claim Mr.. Truman had
carefully avoided making.
The FBI. Mr.. Hoover testi-
fed, had never made any re-
quest at any time that any
employe suspected of disloyalty
be retained by the Govern
ment. He backed up the for
mer President to the extent of
saying that he, Hoover, had
conferred with the then Attor-
ney General, Tom Clark. and
the then Secretary of the
Evening star., 1953-11-18

the former Treasury official
in such an international or
ganization as the International
Monetary Fund.
1t is just as important for
the Federal police force to be
subordinate to our civilian
Government, of which the
President is the symbol and
head, as it is for the military
branches to be subordinate to
the civilian. The latter issue
was involved in President Tru-
mans recall of Gen. Mac
Arthur from his Far East
command.
President Truman has a fine
perception of the nature of
our Government and the rela-
tionship of its parts. This he
exemplif1ed again in the last
few days: First, in his refusal
to accept the subpoena of the
House Un-American Activities
Committee and. second, in his
subordination of the FBI to
its delegated position, which he
did in a delicate manner.
This was in clear contrast to
the approach of Attorney Gen
eral Brownell, who, on the
other hand. seemed to be try
ing to exploit the FBI in what
is generally regarded as a po-
litical maneuver. There seemed
to be a very studied effort to
throw the prestige Of the FBI
back Of his political stroke,
such as the release of letters
from j. Edgar Hoover on the
White case, which was done in
a very dramatic gesture before
the Senate Internal Security
subcommittee, though such
exploitation for publicity pur-
poses would seem the Surest
way to dim that prestige. The
Attorney General was, indeed,
conscious of what he took upon
himself in releasing secret and
confidential material, saying to
the Senate committee:
Il fully realize the grave
responsibility which 1 have as
chief law enforcement officer
Of this Nation not to use con-
Evening star., 1953-11-18

which involves the right OF the
Government to dismiss an en-
ploye without q court proceed
ing, and a grand jury indict-
ment and prosecution there
after based on vaguely written
laws of espionage on which it
is difficult even today to con-
vict anyone except a person
who has virtually confessed to
treason.
Mr.. Truman might well have
made a clean breast Of the
whole business and told the
country that the climate to-
day is different from what it
was in 1916, and that many
things have been verified to-
day that weren't as clear then.
1t would have been O more
plausible defense politically.
AS it Is, the former President
with an emotional speech Mon
day night endeavored through
political tactics and name
calling to confuse the issue and
leave an impression that 1t is
all just partisan politics. It
would be most unfortunate,
indeed. If, in spite Of the fact
that so many Democrats In
Congress have fought intensely
against Communists infiltra-
ton in the Government, the
Democratic Party would now
range itself on the side of soft
ness toward communism In
side the Government. It would
make voters hesitant to return
the Democratic Party back to
power because it had not
frankly acknowledged the mis-
takes made in handling Com
munists in Government during
the last 20 years.

What Mr.. Truman Did Not Say
Whole Truth Called Better Defense Than Labelling
BrowneI q Liar in Give em-HeIP Speech
David Lowrence- as'a''"

The whole truth and noth-
ing but the truth would have
been a better defense for
former President Trum a n
than the attempt in his radio
television talk of Monday
night to make a political
speech of the give EN- hell"
variety which he has used so
often in the past.
Merely to call Attorney Gen
eral Brownell a liar was not
an answer to the Nation wide
demand for the facts-and all
the facts - of the episode
wherein Harry Dexter White,
admittedly known by Mr..
Truman in February, 1916,
to have been accused in FBI
reports Of being tied up with
a Communist spy ring, was
nevertheless given q Govern
ment post Of international
Importance.
The curious argument that
Mr.. Truman retained White
in Office in order to keep him
in surveillance sounded i'm
pressive on the radio-televi
sion because it implied that
the whole thing was known
to high officials and that the
FBI was party to such an
agreement. Now, on the sworn
testimony Of j. Edgar Hoover,
director Of the FBI, the Amer
ican people know that the FBI
didn't favor that course and
that 1t would have been i'm
practicable to carry it out, and
that, indeed. If it was ever
anybody'S intention to do so,
no precautions actually were
taken-as the FBI chief tes-
tif1es-to prevent Harry White
from continuing his dangerous
