Washington, D. C.
July 7, 1945
3:45 PM WORTH CLARK tells TOM CORCORAN that GROVER B. HILL (Under Secretary of
Agriculture) has been made special consultant by CLINT ANDERSON.
CLARK: TOM, so you will have the pattern
CLINT ANDERSON has designated
GROVER HILL as his special consultant to be with him at all times,
on the payroll. So
CORCORAN: Is that the only job GROVER is going to have?
CLARK: That's the only job. It will be about $10,00 a year. So, you see,
he has by-passed VINSON and BYRNES on his under-secretaryship which
he had to take, you see, after an understanding that HILL would still
remain under-secretary and that HUTSON (JOHN B. HUTSON, newly appointed
Under-Secretary of Agriculture, and formerly with Office of War
Mobilization and Reconversion as Deputy for Agriculture) would come
in as an assistant, and now he has made GROVER HILL his special
consultant and I understand at the same salary as Under-Secretary would
get, $9,000. And so, that means
CORCORAN: I wonder which side GROVER is on
CLARK: I think he is on our side, I don't know but - Remember coming down
in the car the other day? It's bad business for VINSON. Now, here's
what's going to happen. I am just projecting -- FRED, now going in
as Secretary, is going to drop JACK (HUTSON). He's taken care of him,
I mean, he has put him in there and JACK was supposed to report to
VINSON precisely as he had him in there reporting to him under MARVIN
JONES (Former War Food Administrator). And then do you remember that
sequence, don't you? How HUTSON was slowly oozed out, moved over as
special consultant to BYRNES and then VINSON shows up in BYRNES' job,
and there you are. So, and then VINSON takes him again. Now, get
that, the KENTUCKYAN and the TEXAN, HILL coming up under JONES,
HUTSON coming up --
CORCORAN: I get all that.
CLARK: Now, he's over there now and CLINTON ANDERSON has by-passed HUTSON.
He had to take him, give him a title and now he's put GROVER HILL in
as his special consultant. So, that's another angle we've got to
figure on. I believe he is on our side now.
CORCORAN: Why should he stay on our side?
CLARK: Huh?
CORCORAN: He was on our side once.
CLARK: I think so, and I think he still is. He was always on our side but
-- you remember HANNEGAN's talk with BENNETT. Now, I think the time
has come, if BENNETT is around, for BENNETT to get HENDERSON, er,
HANNEGAN to get ahold of HILL again, not today, maybe Monday.
CORCORAN: Well, I'm trying to find BENNETT. He's still registered.
CLARK: O.K. Now all right, now here
CORCORAN: How do you find BENNETT when he ain't in his hotel room? Is he in
the country with his ?
CLARK: Well, his sister is in and out and he's got his youngsters and his
sister sort of rides herd on him. Oh, well, yes, if he's with
GENEVIEVE I think at WINCHESTER I'll have to check on that -- I'll
check and let VIRGIL (phonetic) call you on that. But that's lawfully
important. I just got that information. That means he's going to
