THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON June 7, 1949 HARRY 3 NATIONALD TRUMAN LIBERTY U.S. MEMORANDUM FOR THE HONORABLE DAVID K. NILES: I have talked with Bob Carr and Peyton Ford. I would suggest that you call C.E. Wilson and invite him to testify with the Attorney General on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday of next week. Carr has offered to prepare a statement for Wilson and, at Peyton Ford's suggestion, Spingarn is ready to send Carr Justice's analysis of the Omnibus Bill. If Wilson agrees, then, after a date has been fixed, you could suggest to him that Tobias and Jim Carey would be good persons to appear with him. I should not think that either Carey or Tobias would especially want help in preparing their testimony, but, if they do, I think Carr would be willing to help out. For this purpose, it might be a good idea to ask Carr to be in town and available on the day selected. For Carr at least, if not for Tobias or Wilson, the question of travel reimbursement would come up. Perhaps we should offer reimbursement to the others as a matter of courtesy. I do not know whether Luckman would be available or not. He did not come in with the Fahy Committee. PHILLEO NASH
