Were they\ncalling you for corroboration?\nD--Yes, they say AP has it too.\nC--I think ABE should call PM tonight. Doesn't he know CAROL\nKILPATRICK?\nD--He is with Chicago Sun now. I think they are gunning for\nthe Power Division and if they can get ABE, TEX will be\nnext. It is all tied up with the fight on distribution of\nthe\nC--I think it is part of the campaign against ICKES.\nD--HUGHO is out of town.\nC--I think ABE should call PM, AP and UP and deny it.\nD--Something is breaking over there, Tom. EDGERT (Phon.) says\nit is MIKE STRAUSS (Phon.) trying to \"get\" ABE because\nMIKE is in with the reclamation people who are anti-power.\nTOM (EDGERT) is over there in the power division.\nVIRGINIA tells CORCORAN that she wanted him to get word to BEN\nand to find out what is going on over in the Interior Department.\n9:37pm CORCORAN to MR. JOSH LEE.\nC--On our friend ARNOLD, now while I am trading this out with\nhim, he is short of funds and he's applying for $3000.\nI thought you might call JOE O'CONNELL in the morning and\ntell him that you were still talking to HARRY and you did\nnot know what your ultimate asking would be but that this\nfellow had this application in to draw the $3000 and that\nyou hoped he'd let him have it. Now, I passed the message\nto JOE and a dozen other -- Did FOLKES (Phon.) get you\ntoday from PEPPER's office.\nL--Yes, and I\nC--That's what he was calling about.\nL--I've got a call in for him.\nC--Well, that's what he was calling about. I didn't want to\ncall your office, SO I called through FOLKES. And we\ncouldn't get JOE -- all I want to tell you is the appli-\ncation is in. JOE knows about it\nL--Should I contact JOE or HARRY WHITE?\nC--Well, I don't think you have to - well you could contact\nHARRY WHITE but you might want to trade later. I am not\nsure completely, JOSH, that I can't make this through the\nSTATE DEPARTMENT without going down on you too hard, and\nI'd like in the meanwhile to stall this along. So he's\nasked for $3000 and just tell JOE or HARRY, whichever one\nyou think it talks easiest to get us in, but all I want\nto do would be all that you're asking for, get it?\nL--I see, u.h, huh. I get it."
