refused today to eomply with a subpoena to appear before tha House Un American Activities Committee to testify la the Harry Dexter White css His refusal waa contained ia a letter delivered by Charles Murphy former White House counsel to Chairman Veldt (R-IU) of the committee Velde announced this morning that appearance had been Indefinitely postponed Traman wrote Velde that "in spite of a personal willingness to cooperate with your committee I feel constrained by my duty to the people of the United States to decline to comply with tha subpoena" He added: In doing so I am carrying out the provisions of the Constitution of this United States and am following long line of precedents commencing with George Washington himself in 1799" A little before the letter became public a high congressional source had said Truman was taking position of refusal based on the doctrine of th separation of powers in that the legislative branch haa no authority over the executive branch Velde's announcement of a postponement wiped out the immediate possibility of a showdown on thn issue at whether the ex-President had to eomply with thn subpoena to tell of his actions in the Whita case seven years ago However Velde said he waa not dropping the matter He issued this statement: "I feel very definitely that Harry 5 Truman and Gov Byrnes of South Carolina ahouid appear before the Un American Activities Committee to give information to the committee concerning the Harry Dexter White matter I feel that I was within my rights in issuing tha subpoena for them and will continue preaaing for these hearings Byrnes has very kindly consented to be hekrd by the subcommittee in hia home state Aa soon aa it ia possible I intend to call an executive meeting of the whole committee to determine these issues Until that meet-ng ia held I feel that it will be necessary to postpone the hearing of Harry Truman act for Earlier Velde had cancelled subpoena for Maj Gen Harry Vaughan former military aide to Truman However Vaughan had a date today with the Senate Internal Security subcommittee which is making its own inquiry into the tumultuous White case Vaughan was summoned before the Senate group to tell what be knows of FBI reports on White at the time in early 1946 when Truman named White director of the International Monetary Fund Atty Gen Brownell set off the uproar last Friday by saying the FBI reported to the White House before Truman made the appointment that White who died in 1948 had been an active Communist spy The Senate subcommittee after a closed session with Vaughan and his former secretary Ruth Anderson planned to throw open its afternoon meeting to the public newsmen and television cameras DuMont and ABC were making plans to carry the hearing on their TV networks Truman denying Brownell's assertioni haa not said whether he would comply with the subpoena to testify President Eisenhower said yesterday he would not have subpoenaed Truman aa-(Continued on
