in the Treasury Private dining room,- Since there were an
insignificant number of Treasury officials present, the
gatherings obviously were not called primarily to deal with
Treasury Metters, It does not appear the proceedings were
given to the public.
"My, HSNRY MORGENTHAU, JR., Secretary of the Treasury,
vas not present, nob is there any indication that the meetings
were called by any other higher ranking official than WHITE,
If the purpose of the meeting was to coordinate policy, in
executive departments, why were not al] departments represented
and why were they called by WHITE? The fact that the list
of guests was kept and checked in WHITE's office would indicate
that he initiated the gatherings, for the possible purpose of
exchanging opinions and influencing policy, Although it was
wartime, no high military men were present so it is not likely
that military matters were discussed, With WHITE as the
initiator and activist, such a gathering could resuJt in
far-reaching, changes in our Government,
Set forth was a list of the individuals attending
the above mentioned gatherings which indluded "ABE FORTAS",
Under Secretary of the Interior,
"A detailed study and anatysis by the subcommittee
staff of the documents obtained at Concord through Attorney
General WYMAN have revealed striking new phases in the life
and career of HARRY DEXTER WHITE. They also emphasize the
importance of WHITE'ts part in the conspiracy of strategically
placed individuals in Government to subordinate the interests
of the United States to the imperialistic designs of the
Soviet Union."
