name was specifically mentioned.
A. That is correct.
@. 81 think in the course of
your statement also you struck
an emergency note in several of
those. Knowing your function
and knowing what the function
of the FBI is, could you tell us
if there was anything more that
you could have done to alert the
Executive Branch of the Govern
ment?
A. When the letter of Novem-
ber 8, 1945, was written, that
was the so-called preliminary
flash of the fact that there was
a risk to the security of the
country as indicated by informa-
ton received by us from reliable
informantS. That was followed
by two memoranda delivered on
December 4. 1945, and February
4, 1916. AS additional informa-
ton came in during the subSe-
| quent months. that information
was compiled in report or letter
form and transmitted. as I have
indicated in my statement, to
the White House, to the Attorney
General, and to the Treasury
Department, about Harry Detxer
White. That is our regular pro-
cedure.
@. And there is nothing more
you can do, is that right?
A. There is nothing more I
can do. All I can do is submit the
information. We do not evaluate,
we do not recommend. We do
not reach any conclusions as to
the information contained in the
reports.
Protest Seen Presumptious.
@. If you had made a public
protest of any kind, you would
have been clearly outside of the
scope of your authority?
"A. 1t would have been most
presumptious to make a public
protest. I am merely a subordi-
nate official of the Attorney Cen
eral, I do not make the policy.
I am advised of the policy to
be followed.
Mr.. Brownell, after taking the
witness stand, quickly plunged

constructive public interest was
served or you intended to be
served by using the language
that I have quoted previously
from your speech of November
6. What constructive public in
terest did you have in mind
would be served by you making
such charges against "a former
President of the United States?
A. think this is the best way
to answer that question, Senator
/ believe in freedom Of informa-
ton. I believe that when Sit
uation like this exists in Gov
ernment, that no man in Office,
no matter how high his position,
should withhold those facts if
he can expose them without en-
dangering the national security.
I did not endanger the national
security by doing what / did,
and I hope and pray ! have per-
formed a significant public
service.
@. Did you have ir mind
that that public statement and
charges against a former Presi-
dent of the United States could
in any way help rid this Govern
ment of Communist SPAS or
espionage agents?
A. BY all means, yes.

Wheeler Calls FBI Charge
False and Malicious

PORTLAND, Greg, Nov. 13.-
Donald Niven Wheeler, named
yesterday by FBI Director j.
Edgar Hoover as once spy sus-
pect, said the allegation was
entirely false and malicious"
Mr.. Wheeler, who now lives on
a dairy farm in Sequim, Wash,
was reported by the Oregonian
as saying in a telephone inter-
view:
This story is the same story
brought up five years ago and I
made a statement at that time
which will repeat now - the
story is entirely false and mali
cious. I don't understand why
stale gossip has been warmed up
after five years.
Possibly the Republicans
think the spy scare will take the
public mind off the administra-
tons problems such as the
present depression in agriculture.
the slump in foreign trade and
other current difficulties which
point to a Nationwide depres-
SION"
y Mr.. Wheeler, who now lives on
a dairy farm with his wife and
five children, was identified in
testimony as formerly with the
ONCE of Strategic Services.

into an attack on Mr.. Truman's S
radio-television speech.
1T is, of course, extraordi-
nary" Mr.. Brownell said, Ito
learn from Mr.. Truman, in view
of his earlier statements, that
he signed Mr.. Whites commits
sion (to the job in the Monetary
FUND.- with the thought that
it might help to catch him.
Il would think that the COM
misSioning of a suspected spy to
an office of such great impor-
tance would not be easily for
gotten. 1t seems to me even
more extraordinary to hear that
Mr.. Truman was aware as early
as 1916 that a Communist spy
ring was operating within his
own administration when for so
many years since that time he
has been telling the American
people exactly the opposite.
Raises More Questions.
Indeed, it seems to me that
this explanation of Whites ap-
pointment-that is, that he was
appointed and allowed to remain
in Office for more than year
in order to help the FBI trap
him as a spy-raises more queS-
tionS than it answers"
Mr.. Brownell said that if such
a scheme were being used, the
Government would have to take
infinite care to prevent classified
information from reaching
White, and arrangements would
have to be made to insure abso-
lutte control of the situation.
"The records available to me
fail to indicate that any of these
minimum precautions were TAX
en-" Mr. Brownell said. "And if
we apply simple and reasonable
tests to how other members of
the espionage ring named in the
FB1 report were treated, there
is considerable doubt that any,
thing was done to protect the
National interest"
Subcommittee Counsel Morris
led the crosS-questioning of Mr..
BroWnell.
@. Does your department
Evening star., 1953-11-18

show any records that there was
a covert understanding on the
part of the Attorney Generals
office that he (White) was being
allowed to stay in Office in order
to be subjected to surveillance?
A. No, sir.
Q. (By Senator Mcclellan,
Democrat, of Arkansas. You
think there is little room for
doubt or differences of opinion
as to the import of the FBI re-
port on Harry Dexter White?
A. That is my judgment, Sem
ator.
Q. Is this a correct quotation
from your speech of November
6: Harry Dexter White was
known to be a Communist spy
by the very people who ap-
pointed him to the most sensi-
tive and important position he
ever held in the Government
service? ?". Did you mean to
convey the impression to the
public and to the Nation when
you made that statement that at
the time President Harry Tru-
man appointed Harry Dexter
White that President Truman
then knew him to be a Commu-
mist spy?
Questions Truman Judgment.
A. That he had read the re-
port and that any reasonable
man reading that report would
so conclude. I did not i'm
Evening star., 1953-11-18
the Government by the FBI
would NOT have h9an nndnrta Ken

the Government by the FBI
would not have been undertaken
"The decision to retain White
was made by higher Govern
ment authority. Obviously, if a
higher authority elected to shift
a man rather than fire him, if
he was suspect. then it would go
without saying that we would
continue our investigation as
best we could
Mr.. Hoover ended his pre-
pared testimony by repeating:
THE FBI was not a party
to any agreement to keep White
in public service"
Butler Opens Questions.
Senator Butler, Republican. of
Maryland, started the question
ing of MI. Hoover.
Q. What opportunity did the
FBI have after MI. Whites S
transfer to the Monetary Fund
to observe his activities?
A. :. While he was a member
of the United States Monetary
Commission, the premises of
that commission are extraterri-
torial. and the FBI does not have
any right to follow any employe
or any person onto the property
of that commission.
@. Therefore, his appointment
hampered your investigation
rather than helped it?
A. We were certainly hampered
as far as surveillances were con-
cerned. +
Q. AS understand your teSti-
mony, there was never any con-
ference with you or any sug-
gestion to you for any arrange
mentS with the FBI that the
man (White) be kept in Govern
ment service in order to afford
the FBI an opportunity for
further surveillance?
A. That is absolutely correct.
@. (By Robert Morris, SUBJ
committee counSeD You stated
that from November 8, 1945, un-
til July "a, 1916, seven communi-
cations went to the White House
bearing on espionage activities

pugn his loyalty and I did not
intend to impugn his loyalty.
@, Loyalty is one word. What
other word would you use to
state what you impugn?
A. Judgment.
@. Would you call it stupidity
or laxity, or what other term
would you use?
A. used the word in my
speech blindness" which think
perhaps is an accurate way of
stating my opinion.
@. Almost synonymous with
stupidity? a
"A. Not in my opinion, no. Mr..
Truman is not a stupid man. He
was blind on this score. but he
was not stupid man and is not.
@. (By Senator Johnston.
Democrat, of South Carolina) :
He (White) was investigated (by
Federal grand jury and they
did not see fit to find at that
time sufficient evidence to make
out a probable case. Is that true?
A. When he came before the
grand jury much of this evi-
dence against him was received
by wiretap. Under the rules of
the Federal courts you cannot in
troduce before a grand jury. or
a Federal court in a criminal
case, evidence obtained by wire

tap information. Therefore, that
information was not available to
the grand jury.
Intent Was Public Service.

Boston i. Trustees
To Study Spy Charge
Against HaIperin
BY the Assoeiaied Press

BOSTON, Nov. 18.-Dr. Har-,
old c. Case, President of Boston
University, says he will "call at
tention" to the board of trustees
that FBI documents linked Prof.
Maurice Halperin with Soviet
spy network.
DR.. Case said last night that
under university regulations the
trustees have sole legal author
ity for hiring and retaining facul-
ty members"
He added, however, that
neither Boston University nor
its trustees ever have received
any statement or evidence from
either the FBI or any Senate
committee in regard to Prof.
Halperin."
Prof. Halperin, head of the
university's Latin American
regional studies department, was
not available for comment.
The 47-year-old professor re-
fused to tell a Senate Internal
Security subcommittee in Boston
March 81 if he ever had been
Communist. He later SWore be-
fore the university trustees that
he had not been a Communist
since he Joined the faculty in
1949.
The Jenner committee was re-
ported it has testimony that
Prof. Halperin was a regional
director for the Communist
Party in Oklahoma and Texas in
the 1930S.

Mr. Hoover continued:
"At no time was the FBI a
party to an agreement to pro-
mote Harry Dexter White and
at no time did the FBI give its
approval to such sn agreement.
Such an agreement on the part
of the FBI would be inconceiv-
able.
