MR TRUMAN SUBPOENAED Churchill

Ordered To

Appear Before Committee

QUESTIONS ABOUT A

FORMER ASSISTANT

New York, Nov. 10.

A subpoena was served upon former President Truman today calling upon him to appear before the House of Representatives Un-American Activities Committee on Friday.

A Committee assistant served the subpoena to Mr Truman at his suite in the Waldorf-Astoria hotel.

A member of the Committee said it wanted to question Mr Truman about Harry Dexter White, whom Mr Truman has been accused of promoting after the Federal Bureau of Investiga- tion had. proved that White was connected with a Soviet spy ring.

Mr. James F. Byrnes, a former Secretary of State, was also called for questioning, also on Friday.

Shortly after Mr Matthew Connolly, a former assistant of Mr Truman, had told reporters in New York that no subpoena had been served on Mr Truman, a man walked up to them and said: "You don't have to wait any longer. I have just served the subpoena."
