The wire-tapping: was done on the orders, of Senator Brewster, noted’ @s' the BSenate spokesman for Pan Am. This ; wire-tapping scandal did not forfn a part of “CAB's deliber- ations, sthough it.is" interesting to. note that.the issue .inyolved. was the same—namely, whether the: should be only one monopoly air- line operated by the United States Overseas. O’Connell Strongly Against Monopoly Finally, against the merger. —Chairman ~ O'Connell, Harold Jones and Russell Adams—wrote a strong opinion, finding that the American system of free competi- tion nlust be preserved and that monopoly would hurt the best in- terests | of the nation. Two mem- bers—Josh Lee andQswald Ryan long known as Pan, Am’s best friend on the CAB—dissented. This finding was sent ‘to the White House. On June 30, the White House wrote back over the signature of Budget Director Frederick J. Law- ton tHat President Truman had ok'd the majority'’s findings and was against the Pan American mer- ger. But Lawton, who, incidentally, personally favored Pan Am’s posi- tion, added that it was felt the CAB should leave the door open for further consideration of over- seas routes. When Chairman O’'Connell re- ceived this note, he expressed some mystification at Lawton’s addend- um. Nevertheless, the board start- ed to announce its findings to the public. By this time, however, it was late in the afternoon, and Oswald Ryan, friend of Pan Am- erican,’ argued that it was tQo late in the day, and suggested that public -announcement could go over until later. $ Next morning, it became known that Ryan had paid a secret visit to the President and had person- ally urged Pan American’s case. At 9:45 am. the CAB received a phene call from the White House to hold up the 11 a.m. scheduled announcement turning down the Pan Am merger. And immediately thereafter, Ryan appeared beforu his CAB colleagues to tell them that President Truman had asked him to carry the oral message that he wanted the entire question of the merger reversed, and that Pan American should be permitted to consolidate with American Over- seas. “Shabby Treatment” | ‘This caused Chairman O'Connell | to hit the ceiling. “Why didn't I know about this?” he asked other CAB membegs.

Consequently, I can only ask that my resignation, which [ recently submitted to you “effect- iye July 1, be made effective im- mediately.” O'Connell had seen the President on June 13, and in a very friendly conversation had asked permission to resign because of financial rea- sons. Truman at that time, how- ever, had refused to accept the resignation and begged him to re- main. After receiving O'Connell’s curt he had given instructions that O'Connell be invited to the meet- ing with Ryan, but apparently there had been a slip-up by his statf Truman then abruptly announced O'Connell’s- resignation.
