File Indicated Copy
Sent to White House

@. Mr.. Caudle, do you know
how many other people re-
ceived that particular memo
randum which you have de-
Scribed to the best of your
ability here today?
A. I did not know that any
one else had received that
memorandum other than that
there was an indication, be-
ieve, in the file that a copy
Of it had been sent to the
White House.
@. Did you discuss that re-
port with Attorney General
Clark?
A. I told Mr.. Clark I had
read it over, that it was very
important, and I wished he
would read it over. It was very
derogatory toward Harry Dex-
ter White, and that If the facts
in the report were true, I hope
he would do what he could to
discourage the appointment.
Q. Discourage the appoint
ment Of Harry Dexter White.
A. That is correct, sir.
@. Mr.. Caudle, can you re-
member any further conversa-
ticns with any persons in Gov
eminent about this particular
report? Did you converse with
other people and did you take
any action? -.
A. No, sir. I never did take
any action. After delivered it
to Mr.. Clark, Mr.. Morris,
didn't do anything further
about the report.
Senator Hendrickson, Re-
publican, Of New Jersey. Mr..
Caudle, I understand you had
two conversations with Attor-
ney General Clark in which you
discussed the report?
A. Yes, sir; I told him read
1t over and it looked very bad
and that I hoped he would
give it his immediate attention
because I did not believe that
If the facts as stated in the
memorandum were true, this
man was thoroughly unfit for
public office and ought not to
be nominated. -.

script OF testimony before the
Senate Internal Security Sub
committee yesterday By Theron
Lamar CGudle, former Assistant
Attorney General, and Mai.
Gen. Harry H. Vaughan, for
nter military aide to President
Truman:
Q. (By Robert Morris. sub
committee COUNSEL: Can you
recall in early 1916 receiving
an FBI report, a classified FBI
report, on a person known as
Harry Dexter White?
A. IT. Lamar Caudle): I
did, Mr.. Morris.
@. Did it indicate that Harry
Dexter White was a member
Of the Communist under
ground?
A. AS I remember it did,
yes, sir.
@. Did it give any details
supporting that conclusion?
A. I cannot remember any
OF the details in the memo
randum that was sent to me.
Q. But you are certain that
1t came to the conclusion or
warranted the conclusion that
you have stated before this
committee?
A. Yes, sir, Mr.. Morris.
When read the memorandum
over, I became alarmed with
the matter and I called the
office of the Attorney Geenral
for Mr.. Clark, and he was not
there. I was told he was over,
I think, in Johns Hopkins get
ting a physical checkup. AS I
remember. I really thought
that memorandum was sent to
me because Mr.. Clark was
away, and I found that he was
away. Be 1t as 1t may, I did
deliver the memorandum to
Mr.. Clark, sir.

Says He Did Not Keep
Diary or Report Record

@. (Morris). Gen. Vaughan,
did you keep a diary or record
of any Of these reports?
A. No. sir.
Q. Who was your secretary
at that particular time?
A. Ruth Anderson. She has
since married and I can't re-
call at the moment her pres
ent name. Ruth Anderson.
@. Would you describe for
the record the duties per-
formed by Ruth Anderson at
that time?
A. Ruth Anderson had gen.
eral secretarial duties. She
wrote my letters. She did all
the filing. She did practically
everything that was done in a
Secretarial way in the Office.
Mr.. Morris: Mr.. Chairman,
we have subpoenaed Ruth An
derSon and we did hear her
testimony, as you know, in
executive session today. Every
thing she told this committee
conceded with the testimony
given by Gen. Vaughan.
That she had no recollection
of these particular reports, and
is in no position to confirm or
deny the existence of these
particular reports.
Senator Hendrickson: Gen.
Vaughan, in the course of a
day If you received a report
and you did not have the op-
portunity to turn it over to
the President of the United
States, what would happen to
the report overnight, let us
say?
A. If the report was marked
classified. I had a safe. 1t
went into the safe. If it was
not classified material, it
stayed in a desk drawer where
I had a folder where I put
things that were to be deliv-
cred to the President or called
to his attention.
@. Did anyone else have &C
cess to this safe?
A. No one, sir, but myself.
Q. You do not recall ever
putting into the safe a report
treating with one Harry Dexter
White?
A. No. sir, I cannot recall
that.

Gen. Vaughan Begins
With Prepared Statement

Gen. Vaughan prefaced his
testimony by reading the fol-
lowing statement:
At the time the subpoena
issued by this committee of the
Senate was served upon me, I
had some serious doubts as to
the propriety Of my answering
any question concerning the
confidential relationship which
exists between me as military
aide to the then President Tru-
man. However, that doubt has
been resolved in my mind as a
result of having been advised
that President Truman has au-
thorized me to answer fully in
so far as I can any question
concerning the subject matter
of the inquiry for which this
subpoena was issued.
@. (MorriS) Gen. Vaughan,
was 1t your practice to
receive classified FBI reports
on various individual en-
ployes in the United States
Government?
A. I received reports. I
can't recall how many of them
were classified at this time.
I received those reports and
conveyed them to the Presi-
dent.
@. In other words. it was a
regular thing for FBI reports
to be submitted to you?
A. Yes, sir. They all came
through my Office.
@. Did you make any record
OF those reports as they came
into your office?
A. No, sir, I did not.
@. Do you have any par
ticular recollection of a report
prepared by the Federal Bu-
reau Of Investigation in ap-
proximately November, 1945.
and circulated throughout the
Government at a period
shortly later than that, which
set forth rather extensively
the general situation with re-
Spect to Communist and So
Wet activities among United
States citizens serving in the
United States Government?
A. No, I do not at this time
recall any specific report. 1t
was not my duty to act upon
this, and I was really simply
q means of conveyance.
@. If the Attorney General
Of the United States in the

enforcement officers should al
ways announce the filing of
criminal charges but never that
confession was made, the Court
of Appeals said yesterday.
Judge Hall Hammond dis
cussed the conduct of officials in
telling why the court upheld the
murder conviction of G. Edward
Grammer in a much-publicized
case.
"Oficials of the State should
not announce, or sanction the
announcement, that an accused
has confessed or that he has
made a statement" Judge Ham
mond said.
A statement" could tend to
clear the defendant. he added.
"but to the public mind it has
come to be an euphemism which
does not deceive but connotes an
admission of guilt"

Says Reports Were Given
President at Meetings

@. q. G. Sourwine, commit
tee counSeD.s Gen. Vaughan,
you have testified that you
frequently got FBI reports on
individuals. Did you in all
cases give those reports to the
President if they were marked
for him?
A. Anything that was
marked for the President went
over to him, if not the day I
received it. certainly no later
than the next day if the Presi-
dent was in town.
@. The point I am trying to
make, sir, is whether you your
self gave those reports to the
President or sent them rou-
timely through some other
form Of delivery.
A. I usually at the staff
meeting in the morning laid
them on the table behind the
Presidents desk for his atten-
ton when he got around to it.
@. So any such report that
came to you, you know it was
delivered to the President?
A. 1t was. yes, sir.
@. (Senator Hendrickson)
General, how many of these
reports did you receive in the
course of a week?
A. Senator. that varied:
probably some weeks two or
three. and some weeks Is or
20.
@. Did you keep any Office
record Of these reports?
A. No. sir, I did not. I had
one stenographer. My staff
consisted Of one young lady
at that time. There was a lot
OF material.

a report, would you dispute
that statement?
A. I would not question it
for a moment
@. With respect to the
second memorandum. A
memorandum specifically on
the personality Harry Dexter
White, can you recall re-
ceiving such a report on Harry
Dexter White?
A. No, I cannot recall that,
either, but the same goes for
that as for the others. -.
@. Chairman Jenner.) Gen.
Vaughan, as I understand it,
you took no action whatever.
You did not try to evaulate or
determine the Importance Of
any Of these reports?
A. 1t was not my duty.
Q. You were merely a con-
veyor of the report on to the
President of the United States?
A. That is correct. sir.
Q. (Morris). Have you ever
discussed the contents of any
OF these reports with the
President of the United States?
A. On several occasions I
would receive reports directed
to me. They were not thought
of sufficient immediate interest
to be called to the Presidents
attention. They would be of
general interest on subversive
activities in certain parts of
the country or in certain parts
of the world. The covering
letter would say, "This is called
to your attention as it may be
OF interest to the President"
A report of that kind, would
look it over, and if there was
something that commanded
the Presidents attention, I
would call it to his attention.
Otherwise, it would go in the
general file.

$127.7 Million Budget
Passes Baltimore Board
BY the A.seeioted Press

BALTIMORE, Nov. ia
record budget of $127.7 million
has been approved by Balti-
more's Board of Estimates,
which at the same time called
for boosts in cigarette and utility
taxes.
The budget is some $11 million
more than the current budget.
To make up the difference. the
board wants to add a cent to the
cigarette tax and raise the utility
tax from 5 to 71a per cent for
commercial users.
Chances for final approval by
the City Council appear good
because the increases are backed
by the administration, which op-
poses an increase in the property
tax rate of $2.82.

Down by the sea and sound
I lived in days of yore.
IT'S there I long to live again
and wander along the shore.
Sometimes the wind and weather
Gave rise to much concern,
But the delightful fresh air and
sunshine
I figured, would soon return.
The hurricanes descended upon
us
And frightened me out of my
wits.
But as soon as this was over,
l gathered my courage by bits
And found the desire to keep
staying
Enjoying the lovely scenes
Of dear, much loved Buxton
An isle of a poets dream.
I care not for big town doings,
Just give me the small-town
friends
With the Drawn and strength of
the fishermen
With a helping hand to lend.
I wish for a little cottage
Nesting among the pines,
Surrounded by birds and flowers
and the yellow jasmine vines.
Maybe some day I'll be lucky
And find what I really want,
But Fate has a way of delaying
The ambition that / have sought.
But I'll try to be contented
And make my dream come true
By keeping in touch with my
Buxton friends,
Their friendship to renew.
