Harry Hopkins, now hospitalized in New York, is not improving. Always a living skeleton, Harry kept himself alive because of his love of FDR. Now that FDR is gone, Harry has no more zest for work.
Sen. Claude Pepper of Florida is returning from a three-month tour of Europe to blister the administration's handling of foreign policy. Coming on top of Senator Fulbright's two-fisted attack, perhaps somebody around the state department will wake up to the fact that the seeds of World War III can be planted right now. . . . The strategic services unit of the war department (it was formerly the "Oh-so-secret" office of Gen. "Wild Bill" Donovan) has just set up a very interesting project which will not keep the peace. It is working on a "plan for an order of battle for a war with Russia." The job is under direct supervision of Maj. Raymond Crom-well, former Tokyo correspondent for the Wall Street Journal.
