I wish you had called me the\nday before. I think I could have done it that fast.\nP--Well, I should have done it but I didn't want to embarrass\nyou.\nC--Thank you, sir! Awful nice of you.\nP--I didn't want to bother you.\nThe two men then agree that FRANCIS BIDDLE did a good job in\n\"bowing out\" at the TOM CLARK ceremonies in the Justice Depart-\nment and DREW stated he is getting out a piece on BIDDLE which\nshould be out in his column the latter part of the week. They\nthen exchange ideas on who will be the new under-Secretary of\nState. DREW said he heard that BYRNES wanted to put WILL CLAYTON\nin and TOM said that was his guess likewise. TOM asked if the\n\"other fellow that you told me about is really serious?\" and\nDREW said: \"PAULEY?\" and TOM said Yes. DREW said that \"my story\nabout the holdup of the thing may have been wrong but I do know\nthat PAULEY was discussed for it several days ago but I don't\nknow what happened.\" DREW stated that if BYRNES puts CLAYTON in\nBRYNES will be \"headed for eventual trouble.\" The men agree\nthere will be a clash of personalities between BRYNES and CLAYTON\nand CORCORAN said: \"Between certain people he needs to help\nhim.\" DREW said: \"There will be a clash with me, I can tell\nyou that. Not that I'm important but, I think, I don't know, there\nare a lot of good men he can get in there. CLAYTON is all right\nas assistant secretary, right where he is, and he's an awful smart\nguy, but that under-Secretary of stateship is terribly important.\nBEN (COHEN ?) wouldn't get along with him I don't think. COR-\nCORAN said he thought BYRNES would bring DON RUSSELL in as an\nassistant secretary. He thought they would bring BROWN up (WALTER\nBROWN). DREW said JIMMY (BYRNES) has \"some awfully good friends\nincluding you and he ought to use them\" and CORCORAN said: \"oh!\nwell, I'm out in the wilderness.\" DREW said he knew well that\nCORCORAN did not want to get back in the government and CORCORAN\nlaughed.\n2:48pm CORCORAN to Mr. EDDIE LOMBARD'S office in New York City (Rector\n2-4100). He talked with LOMBARD'S secretary who told him that\nEDDIE was planning to come to Washington and would meet with\nCORCORAN on July 4th morning as previously arranged. O.K. said\nCORCORAN.\n2:51pm\nCORCORAN to ED FOLEY. CORCORAN stated to FOLEY as follows: \"I\nwant you to pass back to BOB (HANNEGAN ?)\nthe old man (HAROLD\nICKES) told me today at lunch---the fellow you used to work for\nGovernor MOORE has been going around to Governor's Conferences\nand had several governors on the line who were wiring in suggesting"
