European Papers
Say White Affair
Hurts U. 5. Prestige
BY the Assoeiuted Press

LONDON, Nov. 14.-European
newspapers generally agreed
today the attempt to subpoena
former President Truman over
the Harry Dexter White affair
harmed United States prestige
abroad. Most papers blamed
"McCarthyism" for the move.
The most outspoken comment
came from the Stockholm liberal
Tidningen, which said: More
and more people in the United
States begin to understand the
Mccarthy terror must be broken
somehow. 1t is not easy to stop
this enemy No. l of freedom
Mccarthy is dangerous
because he has got all the
ignorants on his side"
The paper said. however. the
subpoena attempt was a blunder
that may open the eyes of
United States citizens"
Sees Split With Mccarthy.
From West Germany the con-
servative Allgemeine Zeitung of
Frankfurt commented: Maybe
this elimination of Mccarthy
ism will have the effect of a
shock, causing the Eisenhower
administration finally to dissoci-
ate itself from a spiritual atti-
tude whose spreading results is
growing worry among the
friends of America"
Many papers did not make it
clear that Senator Mccarthy
was not connected with the
House Committee on Un-A -Ameri-
can Activities, which summoned
Mr.. Truman.
In Paris the independent LIE
Monde said the White case is
being followed closely outside the
United States because WITCH
hunting can do .0ore damage
elsewhere than lin the United
States alone"
The attack on Mr.. Truman,
added LIE Monde, is damaging to
foreign opinion of American
democratic institutions. and
President Eisenhower realized
too late it was a mistake.

Mr.. Mitchell told the national

last night that Attorney General
Brownell had given advance no
tices to certain top party leaders
and newspapers of his contro-
versial Chicago speech week
ago yesterday
Mr.. Mitchell said he believed
the entire White affair was
aimed at countering Republican
election sethacks. The Demo-
cratic chairman said the advance
notices of the talk make it clear
this was Mr. Brownell's design.
Great Care With White Claimed.
Mr.. Mitchell declared the real
story" is that greatest care was
being taken to remove suspected
spies. like Harry Dexter White,
from sensitive positions. and that
they were kept under surveil-
lance while evidence was being
accumulated against them"
In the case of White" he
added, this evidence was SubSe-
Quently presented to a grand
jury in accordance with proper
procedures.
In the long run, the people
will made their judgment-when
all the facts are in.
In the meantime, let us never
forget that these grievouS

crat, of Minnesota told the con-
vention today that Europeans
are disturbed over what he
termed the lack of American
leadership in the quest for peace.
He believed the threat of war
had been greatly reduced with
peace becoming more of a posi-
bility.
Senator Kefauver, Democrat,
of Tennessee, told the delegates
yesterday the G.. o. P. was play
ing into the hands of power mo-
nopol!es and seeking to poison

recommendation of the creden-
tials committee and refused to
