Ten minutes later he called back and said,
"Bill, I think I acted a little hastily in talking
to you. I was advised three days before publication in
Pearson's column."
I said, "who advised you?"
He replied, "Pearson."
I said, "Did he do it by telephone or did he come
over in person?"
He said, "He came to see me on other matters and
while here showed me the cable."
I said, "Then what happened? What did you do
about it?"
"We wrote a letter to McCloy. The letter speaks
for itself."
It should be noted that he did not mention Pearson
in a letter to McCloy.
I asked, "Did you tell Security Control this, or
did you tell this office?"
"No. No reason why I should have. We wrote the
letter to the War Department.
I said, "Did Pearson tell you where he got it?"
He said, "No, you'll have to ask him."
