He said White was retained in the monetary fund for the protection of the public interest and security.
False Charge
Truman, speaking from the studios of WDAF-TV, branded as a “falsehood” Brownell’s charge that he as President had promoted White from assistant secretary of the treasury to U.S. executive director of the International Monetary Fund, despite F B I. reports that White was a Russian spy.
Truman said the public was entitled to the facts, “not just the misleading statements that this present administration finds it politically expedient to make.” “On Nov. 6 the new administration, through Herbert Brownell, Jr., a former chairman of the Republican National Committee row serving as attorney general, made a personal attacK on me,” Truman said.
Brownell Attack “Brownell made this attack in the course of a political «speech before a luncheon club in Chicago. This attack is without parallel, I believe, in the history of our country.”
Truman stated, “I have been accused in effect of knowingly betraying the security of the United States.
“This charge is, of course, a falsehood, and the man who made it had every reason to know it is a falsehood.”

Delegated Office “If we are going to have our city manager spend the major share of his time in policy, planning, and public relations, his office must be organized on a basis I of delegation.

Winners’ Members
Members of the Kappa Sig team were Gary Silman, Lou Bortolin, Wayne Bithell, and Ron Morris. They attributed their decisive victory to “teamwork and spirits.” Arnold Benson coached the Kappa Sig pledges.
The Theta skaters who looked as if they could compete in the roller derby, so adept were they on the wheels, claimed they won because they were so “proud of our active chapter and wanted to make a name for it.”
The four pledges who competed were Flave Bilheimer, Jean Sanford, Paula Jean Meyers, and Carolyn Colwell. Their trainer was Mickey Artenian and their manager was Mary Armistead.
Trophies Awarded
Trophies were awarded to the winners last night at a dinner at the Phi Sig house.
The pledge relays were started eight years ago when the Phi Sig actives challenged the Kappa Sig actives to a race. When the challenge was accepted, the pledges from the two housed did the actual running.
This year’s course was run from the Phi Sig house to the Sigma Nu house for the men, and from the Phi Sig house to the Acacia house for the women.

COMMENTATOR SAYS
Liaison Group Leave'Red Books Organized By
ASSC Senate
On Library Shelf
by David C. Henley*
'‘Communist and Marxist propaganda should not be banned from public libraries,” Fulton Lewis Jr., noted radio commentator and newspaper columnist said in an interview yesterday.
“A course on Communism should be taught in all universities, in which the truthful re-
sults of Communism would be pointed out to the students, the columnist said.
Books on Communism should be kept on the shelves of our public libraries. However, all propaganda that - may fall into the hands of unsuspecting children should be removed,” he added.
The Washington newsman, long a foe of Communists, socialists and “phoney” liberals, urges all college students to join an organization called “Students for America.” He said this group, which functions on all major American university campusses, is an active foe against communism and creeping-socialism.
‘Blistering Attacks’
“My 18-year-old son, who is a freshman at the University of Virginia, tried to form a 3FA chapter at his school. He was met with blistering attacks from the supposedly non-partisan school daily.
“Now, after putting up one heck of a fight, he is making much headway. It has been shown that the editor of the paper, who wrote an editorial against my son, is a left-winger and possibly a commie. What I would like to know is how this pinko was able to gain such a high position. I am positive he was advanced by some Red-tinged professor,” Lewis stated.
Mr. Lewis also offered this advice to the Youth of America:
Each student should pursue an aggressive and intellectually honest study of American national politics and affairs from 1933 to the present. When he does this, he will realize his own generation and those proceeding his were taken to the cleaners by irresponsible and unscrupulous vpte-get-ters.”
Unscrupulous
An example of one of these “unscrupulous vote getters” was cited by Lewis.
“There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Harry S. Truman knew Harry Dexter White was a member of the Communist underground and Truman knew that he (White) delivered confidential and secret U. S. reports to Red agents in this country. It is inconceivable to me how Truman, who knew all this, promoted White into the important post of Executive-Director of the International Monetary Fund of the United Nations.” *
The issuing of a sobpoena to Truman by House Un-American Activities C o mmitte Chairman Harold H. Velde (R.-IlLj was dis-
cussed by Lewis.
“Velde was not too thoughtful when he issued the court order to Truman. He should have left Truman to be quizzed by the powerful Jenner Committee on Internal Affairs. This committee would be much more effective than Velde’s because it has as its Chief Prosecutor Robert W. Morris, New York Municipal Judge.”
(Morris is credited for his comprehensive investigations and revelations of the Institute of Public Relations, a communist-dominated organization which successfully promoted a Pro-Soviet American Far Eastern Policy under the leadership of Dean Acheson.)

A liaison committee between the Qepartment of Development and the students was formed last week by the ASSC Senate to work with the Administration in sounding out student opinion in school planning.
The new experimental Committee on Public Relations will also act as a coordinating center to provide more information to the public about student activities and academic accomplishments, A1 Mour, chairman of the committee, said yesterday.
Long Range Goals
Mour has set up long range goals toward forming a student speakers bureau and a radio and television clearing house. “Calls have come into the University for student speakers or talent for radio and TV, but because of the red tape involved or not having a list of ‘possible speakers, the University has been unable to fill the requests,” Mour said.
The speakers bureau will set up a file of all qualified and interested student speakers for the benefit of civic organizations. The clearing house will set up a pool of the avs^lable talent which will give SC gtfod publicity and make it easier for outside groups to obtain the type of SC talent they want.
“We hope to have the program running smoothly by the first of December,” Mour said. “We are also going to set up within the campus groups a public information man to gather news regularly and turn it into the committee, and to try to explain the need of public relations, to the groups.” Committee members are Johanna Pick. Jodi Cosuliccio, Brad Nuremberg, Robert Pearl, and Bob Gerst.
