February 5, 1948 Dear Eddie: I appreciated very much your letter of the second in regard to the proposed statement that Judge Proskauer expects to issue. I think he would make a mistake in issuing a statement of that sort because progress is being made along the lines about which I spoke to you the other day but nearly every time we get to the point of an agreement in this matter somebody upsets the applecart and it wouldn't surprise me a bit if they didn't upset this one before we can get it working. I sincerely hope that doesn't take place. Sincerely yours, HARRY S. TRUMAN Mr. Edward Jacobson 39th and Main Streets Kansas City, Missouri
