Tuesday, February 12, 1946
John Snyder was down in the mouth
this morning because of snags encountered in
the effort to draft a new wage-price policy.
Chester Bowles and his group have been making
trouble. It looks as if there will have to
be a showdown between the schools of thought
represented by Bowles and Snyder. This whole
situation is reaching the boiling point. The
President told Snyder to draw up a statement,
expressing the views of himself, Schwellenbach,
Anderson, Vinson and Tom Clark, regardless of
what Bowles might think about it. Bowles could
then either elect to go along or get out. The
President said he was tired of temporizing with
him. The President was in a highly belligerent
mood.
The story by Tom Reynolds came out
today that the President had declared privately
he did not wish to run in 1948. This I think is
balderdash, built up on some indiscreet casual
remark by the President that he would like to
be back in the Senate. Hannegan later in the
day issued a statement formally denying that
the President had told a group of White House
advisers he would not be a candidate for the
Presidency in 1948. The Reynolds report was
thrown at me in my morning's press conference,
and all I could say was No Comment.
The reporters remain jittery as they
await some announcement on the steel strike and
the wage-price policy. It reminds me of the days
when we were waiting for the news of the Japanese
capitulation.
Saw a remarkable demonstration of tele-
vision at the N.B.C. studios today. The occasion
was the opening of a line for "telecasting" between
Washington and New York. General Eisenhower was
shown laying a wreath at the base of the Lincoln
statue in the Lincoln Memorial.
Had dinner last night at the Cosmos Club
with Jacob Billikopf and his son David.
