CO SUMMARY
August 21, 1945
No pertinent activity as CORCORAN was out of town.
August 22, 1945
10:00 AM MR. MONROE OPPENHEIMER to secretary to tell CORCORAN that he sent out the
letter confirming the telephone advice he had given GURWERTZ (phonetic)
and the letter set out the number of the task force and the military
permit and he asked that prompt action be taken. OPPENHEIMER said he
hasn't pushed any further but he gave the letter to GURWERTZ and will
send a copy to CORCORAN.
11:30 AM
CORCORAN, in New York, to JACK NASON. He asked if NASON knows whether
MAC WRIGHT found out anything about the Owens-Illinois "labor business."
No. CORCORAN then said he saw where W.P.B. is throwing off all priority
control and he wondered if that includes "this textile business." NASON
said it includes the general rayon order but not the particular one
"we're" working on. CORCORAN asked, "How about the Inca (phonetic) thing?"
and NASON said they haven't heard, but that "M-328, which is the one
we're working under, will be the last one cut off." CORCORAN then said
he will be back about 5 o'clock today. He asked DE FALCO for messages
and she said ARNOLD KIEHN had called from New York and that EDWARD PRICHARD
had called from the Treasury Department. CORCORAN said he had talked to
KIEHN and he asked DE FALCO to call ED FOLEY and tell him that CORCORAN
is going to call him from New York. O.K.
3:20 PM
CORCORAN to DE FALCO advising that he is leaving New York by Eastern Air
Lines at 5:05 tonight. He told her to have WADE meet him. MAC WRIGHT
then told CORCORAN that he hasn't heard from the people on the Board.
WRIGHT says he talked to (SENATOR) SMATHERS and SMATHERS says he wasn't
to do anything until BOWLES calls him; that CORCORAN is to call BOWLES
and send him a check. CORCORAN told WRIGHT to call SMATHERS and tell him
to see "his friend" and that CORCORAN wants to know if there is any
question about that before he (CORCORAN) takes the case. CORCORAN says
he is willing to rely on SMATHERS' friends' suspicions. (They are
apparently talking about the Cancer Foundation Institute in Newark that
CORCORAN is interested in).
