Description
Former President Harry S. Truman was serious Friday as he scanned a news report of a speech made by Attorney General Herbert Brownell. The Attorney General charged Harry S. Truman named an official to a high post despite two FBI reports branding the man, the late Harry Dexter White, as a Soviet spy. Harry S. Truman declared the statement was a "political lie." The former President is in his office at the Federal Reserve Bank building. From: Houston Post.
