Yeah.

OK. Hello?

I hope you gave Scali a little pat on the back.

No, I guess it's too dangerous.

Yeah.

Good.

Scott, does Henry think I should?

What about this week?

Maybe we're wrong.

Scott's pretty sensitive.

He's here to run.

No, we can't while negotiations are going on.

He'll raise hopes.

Go ahead.

Who else are you talking to?

All right.

Yeah, sorry.

This is all set.

to make as many as they can.

Now they're trying to make brownie points with a hell of a lot of people.

So if you would get the tenants, Carl, who was crowded, he would scallop and join in to, you know, help.

And, you know, you could use anybody you want around there.

And that just, people love to be called.

You know, they're getting the line.

Do you hate what he said?

Remember, Taft made a good statement at the beginning.

I haven't thought.

I don't know who was close to Taft.

But here's a chance for him to step up and become the last to be president.

And that's an actual thing.

Why doesn't he slap his colleagues under the wrist today?

You could say Bob.

Bob, you could say first that it's, as I think you should know, that why don't you go a little distant with the president?

And you mentioned when he came out, you know, for the month and said he's to put the president back on the National Authority.

that I recall the fact that when we had the famous Spunk controversy in 1952, the first man to speak up in my defense was his father.

And I just remembered that, and I said, nice, and there's something that Bob Taft would step up to the top of my fist and tell him that together.

And that would say, now look, that maybe he could just sort of take, you see, we cannot let the writer, at this early time, let his sex speak, get away with it.

Let him out of the census.

Now, Bob may not speak up.

Now, the other thing is, get a hold of McGregor or somebody.

You know, it's the Ohio situation.

I mean, I suppose we just don't have any political people around anymore, do we?

I mean, we're in a government.

But my point is, I would think that some of the two or three top Nixon people in Ohio, in other words, that's our state, ought to say, we will not support Saxby until he apologizes to the president.

And I'd have that said.

Somebody should call Preston Wolk of the Columbus Dispatch.

The editor out there is a great friend of ours.

And an editorial should be so written.

Maybe her client is out now to this and isn't around.

Clausen could call him and say, Carl, this is the most disgraceful thing.

This is a town in an uproar.

Here are the Democrats and we're standing by.

He said this and now that he's got to be taken to task for it.

Now, I really mean now, we've got to goodell this guy.

That's what I think we have to do.

But he should be, somebody should even call him and say, this man would say, look, regret it.

No, he'll then say, well, the bombing was unnecessary.

And then he just, all right, I'll just hang right up on him.

But I want, you understand, let's do it.

Now, Devine, I think, is the better man.

have both put into the sort of way our divine and the regularities and the leadership.

And I'd say, I will not support him.

I will not support him for the Senate unless he retracts that statement.

Just put it on cold turkey.

Now there's divine.

We got any other congressmen that might speak up for us out there?

Bud Brown.

I'd even call him and say, Bud,

And then Tad could just say a shocking thing for his colleague to say this.

If you take that as a special project, I think we ought to knock him right out of the ballpark, and hard and fast, but now, before he has a chance to crawl off.

Yeah.

People love to get calls, and they say they heard a call from us, and we consulted with everybody.

call some Democrats as well, you know, the good Democrat types.

Well, I'm going to wait a half hour.

Well, I'll wait.

I maybe don't have to call him.

I just wanted to be on his level.

He called me, but he's not pitching his

should call, you know, particularly out at the Congress Center.

You can call some of the top political types.

You know, I mean the opinion maker types.

It's good with the Howard Smith types.

Oh, what happened there?

Crosby was, or the Steyr was going to go.

Did they?

They just got it in time, didn't they?

I'm not sure.

I don't know whether they have the old, they made the black constituency, they're trying to outfit

interview and everything.

What the hell are we doing?

What's the matter with your friend Smith's Hempstone, right?

You grabbed that.

Ancestors, right?

But what if I say they're going to change

It's almost another thing, too.

We really find out that there are stand-up people here, don't we?

They all get out way at the end of the line.

We just saw that thing up, and it probably is, you know, as tough as it has been, it's probably just as well to get the sex beats and the others to hell out on their lens.

Let's find out.

And Henry Stoole found friends at Harvard.

He now realizes there are no friends at all.

Did you get mine, Anne?

Fine.

Good.

Okay.

Fine.

Fine, I'll be back.

I'll call you in 15 minutes.
