Washington, D. C.
June 23, 1945
4:15pm CORCORAN to SENATOR LISTER HILL. He was not in but he will call
CORCORAN when he comes in.
7:40pm
GEORGE McNALLEY (Phon.), from St. Louis chats with CORCORAN about
having their children's tonsils out. Then they start the follow-
ing conversation:
C--We have had lots of excitement back here. FRANCIS goes out
next week, you know.
M--Yeah, I saw him today.
C--HOW was he?
M--A little shaken, I think. He is awfully nice and awfully
suave. He always is. But I thought he was a little bit
shaken up over the whole thing. God knows 'he might be.
C--They treated him pretty rough.
M--Yeah. He didn't do too well for me. I think he is awfully
nice guy. As I say, I hold nothing against him. I'm
quite sure he just figured the other guy was a better man.
Probably he is right.
C--What do you mean?
M--Oh, I mean on that WEXLER (Phon.) business. I'm quite sure
it isn't that he doesn't like ne--just that he --
C--WEXLER'S kind of people always had a very peculiar hold on
him. I think his schizophrenia about them was one of
his troubles. I think the MOSWELL appointment was one of
the biggest mistakes he ever made. That was a real mistake.
M--Really, was TRUMAN interested in that?
C--No, but it broke him, you see. He won the AP case. He lost
the BRIDGES case. But the AP victory was a great victory
for him. That was that impossible job HUGH COX pulled
out on Montgomery ward.
M--G--, wasn't that something!
C--They say he was afraid to go out to Chicago to argue it. HUGH
went out and he pulled out a miraculous victory.
M--Sorry, I didn't get to see HUGH today. I went by to see him,
but he was out. He's a d good lawyer.
C--I think he's the best in the G--D Dept. now.
M--Well, he's leaving. I don't know where he's going.
C--I don't know either. I have a hunch he may be out to be
Solicitor General.
M--Good, I hope so. Why not. CHARLEY is going to be over there
for at least a year.
--Did you talk to CHARLEY? Did he invite you to go over and
live with the Germans?
M--Yeah, and I'd have gone--for 6 months, but it is too long. I
have a little money in the Bank now and could afford to go.
