WORTH CLARK to CORCORAN at home. CLARK said he is going to stay at
home today. He asked CORCORAN if he had heard any more on "this ALVA
JOHNSON (forthcoming article in Saturday Evening Post?) stuff." CORCORAN
said he keeps hearing rumors on it. CLARK said he had talked to GENE
KELLY (Phonetic) last night and asked CORCORAN if CORCORAN had ever seen
the "proofs on those." CORCORAN said he hadn't but that other people have.
CLARK said he understands "they're pretty tough--at least SO JOHNSON was
bragging around about at the Press Club-which is O.K. It means good
advertising." CLARK then asked if CORCORAN had ever refused to see JOHNSON
and CORCORAN replied that he had and that he thought it was the proper thing
to do.

CORCORAN to Senator BURNET MAYBANK's office (of South Carolina). He asked
when and where they were going to have lunch and Senator MAYBANK replied
that he will have to call CORCORAN about it later.

H. C. CHEN (or CHANG) (phonetic) to JACK NASON. JACK said he would have an
answer to the telegram which H. C. received from DR. T. V. SOONG yesterday.
JACK said most of the information needed (such as China lend-lease figures)
was simple but I'we wanted to add something." JIM BRENNAN will call H. C.
about 2:00 P.M. today.

DREW PEARSON to CORCORAN. The following conversation took place:
P - TOM, I heard that this fellow (HAROLD) JUDSON, the Assistant Solicitor
General over there, had been active in lobbying for submerged oil lands,
and somebody told me that you knew about it.
C - Well, he was up when the hearings were had on those things last--what
was it--about three weeks ago. He was up there for the oil companies.
P - For the oil companies?
C - Yeah.
P - Oh, God.
C - His old firm, as I understand it, the Ferris firm out in Los Angeles,
used to be an oil company for-but he was at the hearings for the oil
companies.
P - They're certainly picking sweet ones these days.
C - Well, I don't think TOM CLARK knew it. Just between you and me and the
bedpost, I don't think he knew that JUDSON had been in this business.
I think JUDSON knew what he was doing and I think he knows what he is
doing now. I think he's deliberately getting himself in there for that
purpose, but I don't think TOM CLARK knew about this oil business.
P- TOM had some warnings that this guy wasn't any too good.
C - For other reasons, huh?
P - Yeah. I talked to him about it myself.
C - Well, he was physically up there sitting with them in the hearings about
three weeks ago.
P - Did he testify or
