They discuss the\ndesirability of inviting FORRESTAL in the event RAYBURN cannot attend.\nTOM said that BARKLEY is the logical man to replace RAYBURN. They\nwill discuss it later.\n11:50 AM\nTOM CORCORAN to Miss BELLMORE in his office asking for calls and mail\ninasmuch as he has not been to the office this morning. Answer:\nHINCKLEY (ROBERT H., W.P.B?) called and BILL DEMPSEY is in the office\nwaiting to see CORCORAN. TOM talked with the latter and told him that\nthe Saturday Evening Post advance sheets of the article about CORCORAN\nhad not come in but might come in the next mail and that therefore he\nwould see DEMPSEY in CORCORAN's office this p.m. CORCORAN was in Senator\nPEPPER's office.\n12:02 PM\nHENRY GRUNEWALD asked Mrs. BEHAN to tell CORCORAN that RILEY CAMPBELL\nwas appointed last Thursday as head of the Penal Division of Internal\nRevenue; that THORNE, who was a competitor of CAMPBELL has come back\nfrom New York with a changed attitude; that he (HENRY) thought CORCORAN\nmight want to talk to (JOSEPH J.) O'CONNELL, (Office of General Counsel)\nTreasury Department, again to see what the latest dope is concerning\nCAMPBELL and THORNE because HENRY believes that (JOHN P.) WENCHELL\n(Office of General Counsel, Treasury Department) is for THORNE and that\nO'CONNELL, who was against CAMPBELL, is now favorable to both CAMPBELL\nand THORNE. HENRY asked Mrs. BEHAN to remind CORCORAN about \"the kid.\nHENRY also told her to tell CORCORAN that VANDERPOOL had called him\nthis morning from New York and advised that he had received a letter\nfrom his son dated about five days ago. OK.\n4:45 PM\nTOM CORCORAN told FERDINAND EBERSTADT (NYC Whitehall 4-8787, home\nEldorado 5-0775) in confidence that he has an offer from ED NOBLE to\nsell to CORCORAN or his nominee 25% of the Blue Network stock that\nCHET LaROCHE and Time and Life had. EBERSTADT said he wouldn't be\ninterested in going in with CORCORAN on the purchase but that he would\nbe willing to buy it for redistribution. This deal would involve\n100,000 shares and would be purchased in the name of ROBERT HINCKLEY.\nEBERSTADT said he would like to have some figures and CORCORAN said\nhe would furnish them.\n4:55 PM\nCORCORAN to Mr. TRUITT (pho). He said he is inviting Senator BARKLEY\nto dinner and wants to know if he should invite Mrs. BARKLEY also.\nTRUITT said she couldn't come but she likes to get invitations anyway.\nCORCORAN said he heard in Boston that JOE KENNEDY is going into China\ncompanies in a big way as part of his scheme to set up the Massachusetts-\nOriental Trade again. TRUITT asked where T. V. (SOONG) is these days.\nCORCORAN said he's back in China. TRUITT asked who's representing\nSOONG here and CORCORAN said that YOUNGMAN was his undercover man (a\n\"confidential man\") over here and there are two Chinese with him. TRUITT\nsaid he has several Chinese companies he wants to take up with SOONG's\nman. CORCORAN suggested that he call YOUNGMAN about them tomorrow."
