J. Edgar Hoover, 1 February 1946, to Gen. Harry H. Vaughan (White House)
As you are aware, the name of Harry Dexter White has been sent to Congress by the President for confirmation of his appointment as one of the two United States delegates on the International Monetary Fund under the Bretton Woods Agreement.In view of this fact, the interest expressed by the President and you in matters of this nature, and the seriousness of the charges against White in the attachment, I have made every effort in preparing this memorandum to cover all possible ramifications.
As will be observed, information has come to the attention of this Bureau charging White as being a valuable adjunct to an underground Soviet espionage organization operating in Washington, D.C.
Material which came into his possessions as a result of his official capacity allegedly was made available through intermediaries to Nathan Gregory Silvermaster, his wife, Helen Witte Silvermaster, and William Ludwig Ullmann. Both Silvermaster and Ullmann are employees of the United States Treasury Department, reportedly directly under the supervision of White.
The information and documents originating in the Treasury Department were either passed on in substance or photographed by Ullmann. Both Silvermaster and Ullmann are employees of the United States Treasury Department, reportedly directly under the supervision of White.
The information and documents originating in the Treasury Department were either passed on in substance or photographed by Ullmann in a well-equipped laboratory in the basement of the Silvermaster home. Following this step, the material was taken to New York City by courier and made available to Jacob M. Golos, until the time of his death on Nov. 27, 1943. . . .
This whole network has been under intensive investigations since November, 1945 . . .

From Harry Dexter White, David Rees, 1973
. . . J. Peters . . . had concrete a plan to help finance the American Communist Party by selling American government documents to the Russians, who no longer supported the Party financially as a result of the rigors of the Five Year Plan.Rugg told Ware that White was ready to turn over certain official Treasure documents to him, which then would be collected and photographed by Chambers, armed with a Leica. The documents from White arrived on schedule, were duly photographed but Rugg was an hour late when Chambers went to meet him . . . As a result of this volation of the conspiratorial rule of strict punctuality, Chambers refused to have anything more to do with Rugg . . .
From time to time . . . J. Peters suggested White as a candidate for the second apparatus, but Chambers still refused to have anything to do with Wilton Rugg. When the network was activated in September, 1936—its life was to last until April, 1938, when Chambers finally broke with the Communists—the problem of providing a contact with White was solved through the agency of Abraham George Silverman of the Railroad Retirement Board. Silverman's chief duty "was to keep Harry Dexter White in a buoyant and cooperative frame of mind" . . .18

"Treasonable Doubt chronicles how White used overt and covert channels in what ultimately was a vain attempt to insure Soviet participation in the Bretton Woods Conference and to bring a reluctant Communist nation into the world economic community."Comment : are those people phantasising or "playing dumb" or something. That is followed by :
"There is no evidence that White�s association with the Soviet underground affected White�s loyalty to the United States or the international institutions he helped found." Yah ! Sure — so long as the criminal marxist racket could continue undisturbed with the re-making of everything to their suicidal mold no loyalty to the United States, as conceived by said racket, is affected. — (WPT).
