Democrats Rally Behind Truman Case Shadowing Congress
AWASHINGTON AP Some Democrats in Congress rallied behind former President Truman as he prepared to discuss the Harry Dexter White case on radio and television. Brownell promised disclosures, saying Truman promoted White to head the IMF after the FBI warned he was a spy.
