Controversy Raging Over White Case Democratic Congressman Has Report That Truman And P. Edgar Hoover Agreed To Keep White Under Watch WASHINGTON' (UP sharp dispute raced today over whether the Truman administration was working with or against the FBI in its controversial handling of the Harry Dexter White case. After a week-long storm of charges and counter-charges, political bickering ar.d congressional hearings, this still stood out as or.e of the biggest of many unanswered questions. Rep. Francis E.

Walter CD-Pa i. apparently reflecting the views of Democratic leaders, said he was informed Truman officials and FBI Director Edgar Hoover agreed to keep While in the government after he was accused of spying in the hope he would lead to other suspects. Sen. William E.

Gen. Herbert Brownell Jr. about the matter at a subcommittee hearing Tuesday. Brow-noil fired the original charge that former President. Truman promoted White from assistant Treasury secretary to U.S.

director of the International Monetary Fund in spite of two FBI reports that he was a spy. The United Press was informed in official quarters that at no time did the FBI enter into an agreement to move White from tiie Treasury to the monetary fund. Th(- United press also was informed that at no time did Hoover ever discuss the White natter with Mr. Truman as Walter asserted. The argument over the relation between the Truman administration and the FBI blew up amid these other developments 'in the seething controversy: 1.

Senate Republican Leader William F. Knowland (Cal.) declared thai Mr. Truman should tell the American people everything he knows about the White case. He- indicated the former president should voluntarily testify before a congressional committee since he rejected a subpena of the House Un-American Activities Committee. 2.

Informed sources revealed that Mr. Truman plans to make a formal defense of his action in the White case possibly in a nationwide radio-television speech although the details have not been worked out.

Byrnes and a former grand jury foreman declined to honor subpenas. Chairman Harold H. Velde (R-I11) said he could "hope" to get this Inquiry going before Christmas.
