His Personal Reaction
Is Against Subpoena

The President said Mr..
Brownell told him that he had,
as a responsible head of gov
ernment, to make the decision
if he felt it was his duty to
make these things public, to
do it on a purely factual basis.
He did tell him, Gen. Els
enhower added, that the in
formation had gotten to the
White House, and that was all,
and so that was his last con-
nection with it until this in
cident occurred.
The President pointed out
that once before he tried to
make clear that he was, not
going to be put in the position
of criticizing the Congress of
the United States for carrying
out what it conceives to be
its duty.

to conduct such Investigations
as it finds necessary: but If
you asked him his personal
reaction, it would be not to
issue such a subpoena.

EISENHOWER AGAINST TRUMAN SUBPOENA
Polio Virus
Definitely
Isolated
BY the A.,oeiossd Press

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov. IL.
The first definite" isolation
and Identification of human in
fantile paralysis virus was an
nounced today by a University
OF California scientist who said
the development sis expected to
speed up the fight against polio. :"
DR.. Wendell Stanley said the
development paves the way for
chemical analysis of the Struc-
ture of the germ, and thereby
might conceivably lead to i'm
proved polio vaccines and possibly
even to the ultimate develop
ment of a chemical weapon to
treat the disease. The research
is supported by the National
Foundation for Infantile Pa
ralysis.
DR.. Stanley said two Of his
colleagues at the university's
virus laboratory at Berkeley have
obtained "the first photographs
definitely identifying the human
polio virus" and have established
with certainty that it is spher-
ically shaped germ about a mil
lionth of an inch in diameter.
He added that the scientists
were the first to distinguish
with experimental certainty
between virus particles and i'm
purities accompanying them in
preparations known to contain
polio germs.
DR.. Stanley made the an
nouncement Of the virus identi-
f1cation at the autumn meeting
of the National Academy of Sci
ences, convened at Massachu-
sets Institute of Technology,
and he amplif1ed on the technical
details in an interview.

case:
@. I wonder if the Presi-

his opinion, of, ex-President
Truman having been sub
poenaed by the House Un-
American Affairs Committee?
Al. Well he couldn't say a
great deal about this, but he
was willing to give his connec-
ton and his feeling about this
thing.
Some days back, the Presi-
dent said,. Mr.. Brownell, the
Attorney General, reported to
him that there were certain
facts that had been coming to
light in his department that
he felt should be made avail
able to the public, and that
he felt moreover it was his
duty to do so, and he told Gen.
Eisenhower that they involved

Series of Questions
On BrowneH Charges

2. -
@. My Office asked me to
ask this whole series of ques-
tionS.
A. The President said he
was not sure of the custom
here, and you may have one
question, but there are a lot
of other people.
@. He thinks they are
pertinent to all of them.
A. Gen. Eisenhower said he
would have to decide.
@. The President answered
the first one, did he know in
advance of Mr.. Brownell's
Chicago speech and did he
approve it. The next question
was: Was the President con-
suited while plans were being
laid to bring the White story
out? He apparently offered
A. No, the President replied.
He said the report was made
to him that there was certain
information that the Attorney
General considered it his duty
to make it public. The Presi-
dent said Mr.. Brownell did
mention the word White, al
though as he said, he didn't
know who White was.
@. Did the President know
in advance of the plan to
subpoena Truman, and did he
approve? Does he think Su-
preme Court Justices should
be subpoenaed by Congress?
A. The President said he
was not a constitutional Jaw
yer, and he would again say
the reporter was seeking his
personal opinion personal
convictions. He added that
probably in that position he
would not do it. He'd think
there would be other ways of
handling it rather than issuing
a subpoena.
@. Does he think the FBI
report is justified in calling
White a spy when a grand jury
refused to believe it on the
basis of FBI evidence, that
was the grand jury investiga-
ton in 1947?
A. He knew nothing about
it, the President said. adding
that the reporter will have tos
60 to the record and facts.
@. Does he think the adj
ministration's action is virtu-
ally putting a label of traitor
on a former President is likely
to damage our foreign rela-
tionS?
A. The President said he re-
jected the premise, and would
not answer the question.
@. What effect does he think
such an action by the adj
miniStration will have on the
Russians. good or bad?
A.-Gen. Eisenhower said
that any one who doesn't rec
ognize that the great struggle
of our times is an theological
one, that is, a system of reg
imentation and of virtual
slavery as against the concept
of freedom no which our Gov
ernment is founded. then they
are not looking this question
squarely in the face.
Now, the attack against
freedom is on many fronts, the
President said. It is conducted

Committee in Washington called
the election a victory for Presi-

clear intimation he still expected

Mr.. Lipscomb's victory was
won in a four-way race which
attracted national attention and
was enlivened at the eleventh

said former President Truman
promoted White despite FBI re-
ports that White was a Rus
sian spy.
Mr.. Liscomb's chief Demo
cratic opponent. George Arnold
trailed Mr.. Liscomb by more than
5000 votes. Two Republicans
and two Democrats made up the
field. The Republican vote to-
tai was 46,496 to 35,703 for the
Democrats.
Republicans had feared their
vote might be SO divided be-
tween Mr. Lipscomb and John l.
E. Collier, the other Republican
in the race, that a Democrat
would slide to victory. The Oath
Congressional district is made
up of two assembly districts
and Mr.. Liscomb represented one
of these in the State Assembly

Should Back Up
His Charges
Declares He Wos Not
Told Ex-President Hud
Seen White Report
Rv Croehv e Novae
By Crosby S. Moves


President Eisenhower declared
today that he would not have
issued subpoenas for former Pres
ldent Truman and Supreme
Court Justice Clark in the in
vestigation of the Harry Dex-
ter White case. If the decision
had been up to him.
He also told his press con-
ference it was inconceivable to
him that Mr.. Truman could
have appointed White to re-
sponsible position in the Govern
ment, if the former President
had reason to believe that White
was spy.
Attorney General Brownell, he
said, was not impugning the
loyalty of Mr.. Truman. Certainly,
he said. Mr.. Brownell never had
told him the the former Presi-
dent had seen FBI reports on
White.
Gen. Eisenhower said he him.
self does not look at such re-
ports unless it is essential.
He agreed that Mr.. Brownell
should furnish evidence to back
UP his charges against the former
administration. But he said the
complete FBI report should not
be made public.
In New York, Mr.. Truman de-
clined comment on the PreSi-
dents statements.
First Statement on White.
President Eisenhower spoke up
on the White case for the first
time since Mr.. Brownell made
his charges in a speech last FRI
day.
Mr.. Brownell said a complete
FBI report on Whites alleged
espionage activity was sent to
Mr.. Truman at the White House
before White was appointed to a
position on the International
Monetary Fund in 1916. Mr.. Tru-
man quickly denied seeing the
report.
President Eisenhower was re-
minded that a grand jur, inves-
tigation had failed to produce
sufficient evidence that White
was spy.
Did he consider it proper,
asked reporter, for the Attor-
ney General to openly accuse
White of espionage, now that
White is dead?
Would Let BrOwnell Answer.
The President replied that he
was neither judge nor an ac-
complished lawyer. Attorney
General Brownell, he said, is
here to answer for himself. Let
him answer it.
A number Of reporters pro-
tested that Mr.. Brownell, al
though indeed in town, has re-
fused to speak to newsmen since
springing his charges.
Would the President issue or
derS to his Attorney General to
cooperate?
Gen. Eisenhower had always
found Mr.. Brownell interested in
justice and decency in carrying
out his duties. the President said.
He would let him handle this
case in his own way and not
prejudice it in advance.
Opposes Injustices.
The President said he would
not be party to anything which
did an injustice to any one.
Mr.. Brownell flew back to
Washington from New York early
this afternoon. He said he would
have no comment on the Presi-
dents remarks until he had con-
ferred with his associates. He
said he might or might not re-
ceive newsmen later.
At the close of the session,
President Eisenhower said he
told the Attorney General he
would have to follow his own
conscience in doing his duty.
