Former President Harry S. Truman yesterday thanked the Young Democratic Club for its support following his recent controversy with Attorney-General Brownell over the Harry Dexter White cast.
In a letter to Frederick J. Willman '56, president of the Young Democrats, Truman wrote, "It gives a man a lift when he is making a fight for the welfare of the whole country and the young people appreciate what he is trying to do." The Young Democrats had telegraphed Truman congratulations after his dramatic televised reply to Brownell's charges.
Referrring again to Truman's role in the White case, Willman said last night that in the view of the Young Democrats, Truman had taken the proper course in dealing with a suspected security risk.
"To say that Truman was wrong, as Hoover implied, is not the same thing as saying he was disloyal, as some would wish it," Willman added.
