    "ocrText": "November 30, 1953 (BLACK MONDAY)\n1. Staff meeting of White House staff called by Hagerty. Unfortunately\nneither Persons nor Adams present. Hagerty opened up by mention\ning the recent Reston, Folliard and Harsch pieces each one of which\ncontained anonymous attribution to White House personnal. He cautioned\nagainst talking, saying that it inevitably was embarrassing to the\nPresident, etc. , etc. Incidentally, Hagerty was very low pitch and\ntemperate about whole thing.\nAfter moment of dead silence, I said that I had told Reston on the\ntelephone the item he had in quotes, namely, that McCarthy had\ndeclared war on the President and that this gave me an opportunity\nto say some more on the subject.\nI went into the matter completely, including going back to Campaign\nspeech in Milwaukee when Marshall reference deleted.

The men have really separated\nout from the boys.\n2. OCB special staff on exploitation of Wheaties.\n3. Ted Streibert on various matters, including John Begg. Didn't get\nmuch of anywhere on Begg situation. Streibert apparently just\ndoesn't like him, and has no confidence in him.\n4. Seydoux brought in Senator Dulin and Deputy Faure. Both pro-EDC\nbut both rather pessimistic and feeling that recent debate and phony\nvote of confidence had lost ground for EDC.
