    "ocrText": "-7-\nMORGENTHAU is out and that a Jewish member of the Cabinet would be a\nnice thing. I think you ought to let LES know about the play right\naway. (Last sentence made with emphasis) This is to put a Republican\nin, a WILKIE Republican, who is a Jewish lawyer in California.\nNC--You don't know the time when Hannegan had this understanding?\nTC--This was in -- not so long ago. Hannegan I know has been on the\ntelephone telling him to let his name be thrown in and not to fight it\ntoo hard. Now let me tell you some more. The CIO will be behind him\nout there and behind it generally if ICKES isn't going to be it. Get it.\nWC--Yeah.\nTC--It has the earmarks of the whole play. It is a test of which crowd\nis going to run this thing.\nWC--I am surprised. I think Hannegan is just leading him on.\nTC--Well, maybe but I think\nWC--But nevertheless, it's a fact.\nTC--You ought to move fast fellow.\nWC--Yeah.\nWC--I'11 slide up---\nTC--Maybe that could be diverted into the Senatorship. I don't know.\nBut there you are, sir. All these things mean you ought to suggest that\nto whoozis. You ought to get up there now.\nWC--OK\nTC-- All right.\nWC--I 11 drop in after lunch if he is back from Jefferson Island yet.\nTC--0. K.\n11:59am CORCORAN to WORTH CLARK to locate (Senator) WHEELER and talk with\nhim tonight. It is important because of C.I.O. backing.\nC--Now I think you ought to locate Wheeler and think you ought to get an\nimportant call to talk to him tonight. I think this thing is hotter than\none knows, particularly this-. he made a flat agreement that he would keep\nthe present Under-Secretary and the other fellow whom that fellow REISING\nwas talking about. That's also part of the trade. All I'm saying is that\nyou talk with Wheeler tonight.\nW--0. K. I've been thinking, of course, that don't go through.\nC--Well, you don't know whether it will.\nW--Well, Truman just won't do it that way."
