July 9, 1946 x Mr. White, wi th Carl Byor Associates, called to ask if it would be possible for the President to send a message to Howard Huges to cheer him up after his accident. He is at the Good Samaritan Hospital in Los Angeles. He said the late President had written to Mr. Hughes but he didn't know whether or not President Truman knows Mr. Hughes personally. Ed Brown says he sees no harm in sending such a message al Lthough he can't find out what side of the fence Mr. Hughes is on. Mr. Brown thinks it would be a nice friendly gesture for the President to do it. mw
