    "ocrText": "- 3 -\n1:00 PM\nCORCORAN to WORTH CLARK (Continued):\nWC - RALPH had been committed to apparently some fellow from New England,\na Captain somebody, and had--they were just a little lukewarm on the\nthing, I mean, the tales just don't match at all. Either our friend\nis just not telling the truth or Mr. V. has been feeding your\npeople a lot of stuff. And I think I'd better call our friend and\nsee what's happened. No I had to call him as I told you on Friday---\nfour calls on my part, each time with the request that he call back.\nI don't know whether he was out or not, I mean, it's one of those\nthings. I also called yesterday morning with the request that\nhe call back--I have not heard. Now, normally, that fellow has been\nsuper friendly to me and I mean really gone out of his way and it is\na little odd that he didn't call back. Now, I mean he's really been\nsuper friendly and he's even committed himself in writing on things,\nas I told you, and he's put it in a letter which I have, etc. And\nwhether or not NYE mentioned my name in connection with it and he\nhad a premonition what I was calling about or not, I don't know, I\njust know that I could not get in thru to him for a day and a half.\nTC - How close is BOB to him.\nWC - Now, I don't know. Now, there you are; that's a strange relationship--\nI don't think too close.\nTC - Well, when you talk to Mr. V. say you are a friend of his friend,\nBOB WILSON's, see, so he 'll know.\nWC - But, this curious complete clash of reports is disturbing. I can't\nhelp but believe that NYE is right in the picture on the deal. Now\nBILL DOLF said that everybody is having difficulty getting through\nto VANDENBERG on the telephone; even his people, and as he put it\nto me he said he was running for President, and (Worth laughs) as\nyou said a little earlier as BILL said, he is running out. I would\nhesitate TOM, to call BOB, in view of the conflict. Let me call\nNYE and see-the last information he had according to his report,\nand I can't believe he would tell something that wasn't true--that\nthey wanted the weekend to think it over. Then I called him back\nand I discussed this CRUM (phonetic) situation and he said, well,\nwould I (WORTH) talk to Mr. V. about that. I said of course I would\nand so I just don't know--there is something funny. Mr. V. is\nprobably ducking.\nTC - The second thing, I wanted to tell you. I reported to you about\nGEORGE HURLEY and this other thing.\nWC - Well, you said--\nTC - He doesn't want to file with the District Attorney as he says he\nisn't sure of MENKOFF (phonetic) or whatever it is. He wanted me\nto ask him and TIM to go up to BOSTON to see CALLAHAN (phonetic),\nto really get the low-down to see what was going to happen. Will\nyou report that to TIM and see what his reaction to it is and then\nI'll call him again.\nWC - I know exactly what his reaction is going to be--he is just going\nto say no, because we had that all out up there."
