HARDING said he wanted\nBELL to get together with WILLAUER (F.E.A.). HARDING told NASON to let\nTOM know of the situation.\n12:20 PM\n(HAROLD) ICKES to CORCORAN who asks him to let him know if ICKES comes back\nlater than Monday as TOM is going to Boston on Monday and wants to see\nICKES Monday before he goes. Agreed.\n4:12 PM\nCORCORAN to (JIM) CLEMENTS (Senator PEPPER's Office) to ask him if he had\nseen (EDWARD) PRICHARD. CLEMENTS said that he did, but that PRICHARD said\nthat he had gotten a cold reception. CLEMENTS said that PRICHARD went to\nsee (ROBERT) HANNEGAN who said that he would do what he could, and that\nPRICHARD was going back to HANNEGAN again today. CORCORAN said that they\nwere now in a position where all they could do would be delayed until they\ncould change the situation. CLEMENTS said that he thought that they better\ncheck with HANNEGAN again next week. CORCORAN said \"I want you, in talking\nto \"that fellow\", to remember that it is Atlanta that's the real trouble.\"\nCLEMENTS said O.K.\n4:48 PM\nCORCORAN to (BEN) COHEN, 2795 State Department, to invite him to Sunday\nnight supper with SOONG. They will eat at 7:00 . CORCORAN said that he\nwould have to check with SOONG and call COHEN tomorrow. COHEN said\nthat would be fine. CORCORAN asked if (WILL) CLAYTON were back yet, but\nCOHEN did not know. He told COHEN that he had to go to Warrenton (Virginia)\ntonight.\n5:05 PM\nCORCORAN to 2795 State Department for (BEN) COHEN. Out. CORCORAN dictates\nfollowing cablegram to secretary: \"Word through friend would help securing\nair priorities other formalities returned. Stop.

MURCHISON said that BEDELL (phonetic)\nis coming in here tonight, and we're going to put on our case probably\ntomorrow in the Cincinnati-New York \"service\", CORCORAN asks, \"Before\nthe full board or just the examiners? MURCHISON says just before the\nexaminers, but that BEDELL is coming in tonight to help get ready for\nthe case tomorrow. MURCHISON asked if TOM had any late news to give him\n(BEDELL ?). CORCORAN said yes he thought so, that he knew what the situation\nwas; that this fellow now is cooperating and stalling until \"he\" leaves,\nbecause on one hand he doesn't want to be against us, and on the other hand\ndoesn't want to be for us. MURCHISON asked if TOM saw where Mr. WRIGHT of\nC.A.A. is going to leave. TOM said he'd already gone. MURCHISON said he\nsaw in the paper that he had resigned and had been elected to this other job.\nMURCHISON said since \"he\" won't return, it makes it a two-two proposition\nright now, and it seemed to him, MURCHISON, a pretty good time to get this\nboy before he leaves, to go with us. TOM said he doesn't think he will\n(go with us) but that \"he\" will cooperate with us in the sense that you\ncan win it (the case).
