    "ocrText": "PR SUMMARY\nWashington, D. C.\nJune 18, 1945\n5:00pm MASON GREEN to CORCORAN.\nC--You've got this prospective permanent retirement in front of\nyou. That must keep you buoyed up.\nG--Well, I feel very good today on account of the BRIDGES decision.\nC--I thought you would like that. If you noticed, FELIX was wrong.\nG--Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the last straw, boy.\nC--Who was with BILL?\nG--Well, he had BLACK, RUTLEDGE, MURPHY, REED. The good five.\nMURPHY wrote a separate concurrence.\nC--I told you REED was a good guy, didn't I?\nG--Yeah, I agreed with you. I was sorry as hell you lost those\nBundists cases. I can't understand why\nC--The Bund cases. That broke my brother's heart. We worked\nreally hard on those cases, fellow.\nG--That was terrible.\nC--How did the A.P. come out today?\nG--I understand the A.P. took a beating. The decision below was\naffirmed.\nC--FRANCIS won?\nG--That's right. It was a 5 to 3 decision.\nC--Well, there's only one reason I'd be glad about that among\nothers and that is, I'm glad to see FRANCIS come out with\ntwo great victories. If he came out with A.P. and if he\ncame out with Montgomery Ward, as he did, boy, he goes out\njustified, doesn't he?\nG--Yeah, but he took one hell of a beating today on the BRIDGES\ncase. That's where he got stupid advice, Tom.\nC--Listen, he didn't get stupid advice.\nG--Boy, I wouldn't have taken that beating from anybody.\nC--He didn't get advice. He got orders.\nG--I saw him sit in that court this morning, Tom, listening to\nthat opinion of DOUGLAS and taking the beating of his life\nand then MURPHY looked at him when MURPHY wrote his separate\nconcurrence and he said, \"I'm calling down upon you the\nwrath of the Constitution\" - in those words.\nC--Yeah, I know, but it wasn't out of him.\nG--That poor boy took it.\nC--Well, he has to take it.\nG--And for a guy that's supposed to be a liberal, to go out with\nthat sort of a stigma.\nC--Yeah, I know, but on that one, boy, he had no choice. I told\nyou about that one.\nG--Yeah but\n, I don't believe it, Tom.\nC--I know it. I know it, see. I know all about it.\nG--Well, maybe I'll forgive him if I know the real facts.\nC--Well, that's true. I know that's true. I told you that a\nlong time ago."
