Brownell Says Truman
Administration Failed To
Take Security Precautions
(Continued from Page One)
to conclude that Truman knew
White was a spy when he ap
pointed him.
Not Impugning Truman's Loyalty
But the attorney general con
ceded, under sharp questioning,
that it was a matter of “judg
ment.” He said he was not im- %
pugning Truman’s loyalty as the
former president had claimed in
asserting that Brownell “lied to
the American people.” .
In Kansas City, Mo., Truman
man was guilty of “blindness” and
“laxity” toward Communists in
government.
Brownell said, rather, that Tru
shrugged this off with the com
ment “Why waste words?”
The FBI director said Virginius
Frank Coe, a close associate of
White who became secretary of
the International Fund in June,
1956, was dismissed on Dec. 3,
1952, when he invoked the Fifth
Amendment in refusing to answer
questions about his relationship
with White.
Brownell bore down hard on
this point in his testimony. He
said the Truman administration
failed to take even “minimum
precautidns” toward keeping sec
ret documents out of the hands
of White and other suspected per
sons.
“The record fails to show that
anything was done which inter
fered with the continued function
of the espionage ring of which
White was -a part,” Brownell said.
