Hoover and reporters clash over leaks at press conference
Hoover deflects questions after meeting with Truman and Anderson saying there should be a law against repeating what the President has said. He declines to discuss European emergency measures or rationing. The piece also notes Norman Kirk allowing limited retirements for medical corps officers and a longer tenure for dentists. It mentions Gov. Kerr’s Washington chat about John L. Lewis and the coal strike, party rivalries among railway unions, and other Capitol notes including Argentina, Alben Barkley, John Pehle, and Amerika circulation increasing to 50 000.
