    "ocrText": "- 4 -\n11:10\nAM\nTOM CORCORAN to MR. HINCKLEY (Continued)\nTC - Yeah. I know that and he saw that, too, and I think he thinks that\nif---that JED was deliberately asked to stay on that committee to\nmake trouble for him. But he's wise to that. Now, I'm gonna ¹ see\nhim after lunch. My own hunch is, he's gonna ¹ stay and slug. I\nalso want to tell you that as far as WORTH CLARK is concerned,\nWORTH is not there in that picture. A lot of people are trying to\nput him into it but he can't afford to go in. WORTH's under contract\nwith me to stay with me for two years.\nMH\n-\nWell, that' all I want you to know is that if that's the way it\nis I'm for it 1000%. We gotta have somebody from out there---\nTC\n-\nBut I can't afford, I mean he can't---I've put my investment into\nhim. Now I need a year to get my investment out if you don't mind\nmy talking in such terms. I've put my big gamble in and I've pulled\nhim through. Now, it would be damned unfair for him to yank out and\nleave me flat because somebody over there isn't half as important\nto me as a partner is. Now, I'm gonna see the old man this afternoon\nat 2:30. I'll know a hell of a lot more---how the situation lies-\nat that time. The next thing I want to tell you is that WORTH had\na long talk with GLASSMAN and GLASSMAN has sort of dropped the idea\nof the thing up in Idaho--- didn't raise it at all. He wanted to\ntalk about the possibility of WORTH getting him BILL DOLPH to go\ninto a syndicate in Chicago and a syndicate in Detroit which is a\ndifferent kind of a proposition. I mean they talked and talked and\nthe Idaho thing never came up. I'm trying to keep him (WORTH) and\nyou together.\nMH - They had a long talk and that's exactly what GLASSMAN said---they\naccomplished nothing at all. He said as far as Idaho is concerned,\nit's right where it was. He said I thought if WORTH was interested\nhe'd press the thing, but apparently he wasn't.\nTC - Well, WORTH was waiting to see what he wanted to do. Do I have to\ndo all the pressing.\nThey then spoke of PRESTON (phonetic) and TOM HEATH--in the sugar business\nin Idaho. TOM said, \"I think he's (PRESTON) the guy that was backing\nthe contrary proposition. HINCKLEY said, \"Our competitors have got\napplications (for radio station licenses ?) in all those little towns\nup there and I think before we get through you're gonna' get a pretty\nvigorous protest in the commission. Senator TAYLOR---\nTC - Against who?\nMH - Against these outside people coming in there and preempting any\npossibility of agents going into the business.\nTC - I'll take that up. By the way--did you have your lunch with the\nchairman?\nMH - Yes, I did.\nTC - What's his state of mind?\nMH - Well, I give you a guess--if they voted on that thing today it would\nbe 2 and 2.\nTC - Is he gonna' vote on it today?\nMH - No.\nTC - He's gonna' wait until the new man's appointed?"
