of high class small town lawyers; that CHRIS GARNETT is the brother of
LESLIE GARNETT, who used to be U. S. District Attorney. PRETTYMAN said
he would find out something more about them and let CORCORAN know.

more fully. CORCORAN says, "The next thing to do is to get the boy in
Moscow (Senator CLAUDE PEPPER) in." CORCORAN says, "Incidentally I wish
you would pick me up on the advances I made in that picture, you know, I
