    "ocrText": "- 2 -\n11:45\nPM\nTOM CORCORAN to WORTH, CLARK (Continued):\nTC - Did he get the report?\nWC - No, that's a long story on that, TOM.\nTC - Well, the answer is, we're not going to get it.\nWC - The answer is that we've got most of it. BROWNELL had lunch\nwith PRICHARD, not the one you know, but he was a member of the\nCommittee that made the award, and \"he\" gave \"him\" the basis of\nthe report, I mean the mathematical formula, which is what they\ncall \"lease plus\", and so a memorandum is coming in from that on\nLABERST in the morning, and so we'll have all that; we've got\neverything except the report. GODDARD couldn't get the report\nas JASSPON is holding it on his desk. However, I'll have the\nreport the first thing in the morning on BILLEM (phonetic),\nCHAVEZ went over it today, and so BENNETT is all steamed up,\nhe says WORTH I haven't had a drink in two and one-half months,\nwhich I have reason to believe because VIRGIL is with his sister,\nso he said he's ready to go to town on the whole proposition,\nand he said he'd tell him he's getting on the bench, etc., well\nthat's that.\nTC - Did you notice ANDERSON announced there would be more soaps and\nmore fats and oils this quarter?\nWC - No.\nTC - I think he said there'll be five per cent more soap, but no more\nsugar.\nWC - Now on ROBINSON, we can use just as much time as is necessary.\nTC - O.K., and TIM (MOONEY ?) told me he'd be in all week too. I.told\nyou about my talk with CRAVEN. I met PAUL MCKEE up in New York,\nwho said he'd be in on Saturday, too.\nWC - I talked to KINSEY yesterday. Well, they're extremists. If we\ncan just survive the whole damn picture, we're O.K.\nTC - What do you mean, survive it?\nWC - Physically.\nTC - Oh, yeah, we'll try.\nWC\n- They're in bad shape, RICHARD called me last night from Nebraska\nPower, and he's offered us a very substantial portion of his fee.\nTC - How's that one going?\nWC - It's going swell.\nTC - Did you have a talk with MANLEY?\nWC - No, he's resigned, I congratulated him. He's going to be here for\nanother two or three weeks, so the talk will occur when it counts.\nTC - That MEYERS bunch will move in on those two new Commissioners sure\nas hell; we've struck with the King in that case, boy, and we've\ngot to either kill them or they'll get even with us all over the\nplace.\nWC - I got your word over on DOOLITTLE to BRIDGES today. BRIDGES is\nreally moving in, but Christ, he can't beat DOOLITTLE. I talked\nto JOHN DANEHURT (phonetic) at great length about it, and he says\nBy God if DOOLITTLE is in the picture, you're just sunk. I talked\nto BURTON tonight and he's very happy. We're pretty well set every-\nplace.\nTC - Well, I don't know about this C.A.B. business.\nWC - I don't either. Now (STANLEY) KENNEDY went to New York today. He"
