CORCORAN said to tell the Senator \"It's\nimportant.\"\n11:05am CORCORAN to REpublic 5700 (Extension 72318) MAVERICK'S office.\nNot in. Word left that he should contact CORCORAN. O.K.\n11:10am MAURIE MAVERICK to CORCORAN. Latter wants to see former today.\nCORCORAN will be there to see him at 5:00 P.M. today. O.K.\n12:25pm Mr. PRETTYMAN attempted to contact Mr. CORCORAN. Latter not\nin. Former may attempt to contact him after 2:00 P.M. today\nwhen he returns.\n3:00pm\nCORCORAN to WORTH CLARK at National 4882. CORCORAN asked what\nhappened on 'that COLEMAN' case and CLARK said he had spent\nthree-quarters of an hour with ROBBINS and DIAMOND and we've\n'shot the works.' WORTH said that DIAMOND told him that $100,000\nis an equitable settlement but that \"we have no right under the\nlaw to compromise and we must make a complete item by item justi-\nfication. \" \"This was said in front of ROBBINS. DIAMOND said if\nit was taken to the District Attorney he had power to compromise.\nSHER said it would not go to the District Attorney, \" said WORTH.\n\"The district engineer has made his finding of fact and the\nlimit has been stretched by offering $84,000. DIAMOND said it\nwould be all right to take the matter before the General Account-\ning office and that would be all right with him. \" CORCORAN\nasked how long that would take. WORTH said it would be the same\nas starting all over again. There was discussion about having\neach of the attorneys knock off $5000 from their fee and thus\navoid an expensive court of claims trial. WORTH said that SHER\nbelieves he has three counts that will stand up in the Court of\nClaims. Recovery on this would be $260,000. WORTH said: \"We\ncould file a complaint and then get a compromise with FRANK SHAY\n(Phon. )\" whom CORCORAN said would not compromise 'with you and\nme.' The matter was left that way and WORTH is disappointed.\nCORCORAN said he was afraid to go to New York because he was\nafraid to because of getting mixed up in the mayoralty. WORTH\nsaid, \"I talked with KINSEY ROBINSON last night who asked if it\nwould be all right if he drew a check for us for expenses and\nI told him no. He said that when we finish this thing you write\nyour own ticket. He said that MEYERS is getting a million and\na half bucks out of this deal on the Washington Power and Loan\nand ALLER is going to retire with a $100,000 a year contract for\nten years which is another million dollars.\" TOM CORCORAN said\nthat he would see ROBINSON in the morning. They then discuss\nthis 'radio thing' and 'taking GLASSMAN on.' TOM said that what\never they do it is best to talk to WHEELER or ED CRANEY, preferably"
