Honorable Francis Maloney,
United States Senate,
Washington, D. C.
My dear Senator:
Chairman Eccles phoned me from Chicago yester­
day, where he went to make a talk before the Investment
Bankers, and in the course of the conversation particu­
larly asked me to send you a copy of that address which,
incidentally, ventures to quote you on page 5*
He also asked me to send you the enclosed copy
of an editorial from the Hew York Times of February 26
on the sise of the array, which he felt raised some highly
important questions that would particularly interest you,
in case you had not already seen it*

Sincerely yours,

Elliott Thurston,
Special Assistant
to the Chairman.

Washington, D. C.
My dear Mr. Thurston:
I thank you very much for your letter of March
twelfth - and for a copy of Chairman Eccles* talk
before the Investment Bankers. The fact that he
"quoted me” makes me very anxious to read the
speech at my hotel tonight.
And thank you very much for the copy of the
editorial from the New York Times of February
twenty-sixth.
Please believe that I am very anxious to read the
Chairman's address* I have looked at the size of
it and I must put it off until tonight.
Sincerely yours,
