CO SUMMARY
4:31 PM
TOM CORCORAN contacted D. WORTH CLARK. CLARK wants to see JOHN SNYDER
about a job reclassification matter which INGRAM, General Counsel of
O'Sullivan Rubber Heel Company, has talked to him about. WORTH wants
to see SNYDER, Thursday afternoon. WORTH told TOM that O'Sullivan,
through Victor Products, which owns O'Sullivan, has been assessed
$919,000 on wrong job classifications. The Philadelphia Office
(Regional Office) wants to settle for $10,000, but INGRAM won't pay
it. TOM will see SNYDER and make arrangements for WORTH and INGRAM
to see him.
5:03 PM
WORTH CLARK to TOM CORCORAN. CLARK said that SNYDER is out of town
but will be back on Thursday, "so I've arranged with his secretary for
a 4:30 appointment, so you won't need to bother with it." O.K.
CLARK: "I just want to play along with these boys
JIMMY INGRAM
is 71. He'll be 71 in a couple of days. He's getting this thing all
out of the way and he's getting all the stock on the curb. That's
already listed, that is, it'll have to wait, I think, 30 days. And,
then this Cox (?) case coming up, so I don't know, I just have to baby
him along and see what happens. He's got a pretty meritorious situa-
tion here, so I thought I'd take him over and introduce him to SNYDER
anyway and that'll please him no end.' CORCORAN: O.K.
5:15 PM
TOM CORCORAN to JAMES McGRANERY (Justice). CORCORAN says, "JIM, Igot
another message from Philadelphia. The place is in panic." McGRANERY
asks what created panic. CORCORAN says they think the whole authority
of the organization has been undermined "by the fact that, with two
senators and JIM CLARK, who tried hard against you, they couldn't make
it (appointment to bench in Philadelphia?). They think that unless
something can be done to save their faces they have lost their complete
authority in the State of Pennsylvania. "The old man just threw them
right flat back on their rumps." Are now "weeping and praying to him
that he must do something, like this (appointment of JOSEPH SHARFSIN
as Administrative Assistant to President) thing." McGRANERY replies,
"That ought to be impossible." CORCORAN agrees. McGRANERY says, "I'd
be afraid for the boss' sake about that." - "ALVIN in the White House."
