His recommendations have been made in the friendliest spirit and primarily to avoid criticism on the part of Republicans that the President has overstepped his authority. It is recommended that the President call Senator McKellar, thanking him for his interest and the sympathetic spirit with which he has viewed this matter, stating that waiting for a special session would be too late, and requesting his support for the interim program on which we have to embark. Called him made arrangerests for Humph to see hica. L:ASFisher: jm
