Gen. Biddle : [On the telephone with the War Office] Col. McGaw, I'm calling you from Sen. McKinley's apartment - Senator McKinley. It seems the senator's prospective son-in-law has just returned from overseas - eligible for discharge, in fact, on terminal leave. Yet he has just been ordered to duty for another 60 days. Now, I don't want any special consideration given him because of the senator - you understand that? However, it is quite probable that a mistake has been made and he is no longer on that roster. Now, I want you to check that roster very carefully.
