DUGGAN COMMENTS ON NIXON AND SHELL
DUGGAN WAS SHOWN IN MEDIUM CLOSEUP
TELEPHONE GIRL: "Are the Democrats over-confident about the
primaries?"
DUGGAN: "I don't think, --oh, they're confident about the primary,
as far as, at least, Pat Brown I'm sure is and Stanley Mosk, they're
confident of winning there. The contest, or whatever contest there
is, seems to be on the Republican side and that isn't a real contest
either. Richard Nixon looks like a heavy favorite against Shell
for Attorney General on the Republican side. There's a lot of men
running, and so there could be some competition there but the main
thing is general election next fall and I don't think that the
Democrats are overly confident of Pat Brown's winning that election,
in spite of the fact the he won his last election by over a million
votes.
"During this period of three years, almost four, it's going on four
years that he's been Governor of this State, he's had a rather, --at
least his administration has not been generally satisfactory. It's
not anything that you can point to with great pride and so, by con-
sequence, there are many people who feel that his million majority
has been lost and, of course, coming in with the glamour boy from
the vice-Presidency running against him, why the Republicans have a
great chance.
"Of course, to a great degree the Republicans lost the last guber-
natorial election through their own shenanigans and they have a chance
now behind Nixon to get back into the State House. It will be in-
teresting to see if they do or if there's some other way they can
foul it up. One of the ways they can foul it up is that Shell support-
ers are perfectly willing to carry on a bitter vendetta with the
Nixon forces. Now the Nixon forces, under the domination of the
former vice-President are definitely shying away from any sort of
a fight with Shell for the simple reason that they know that after
the Primary they're going to need the Shell supporters but the Shell
supporters have such a final way of speaking. They're after, it seems,

Richard Nixon, almost more viciously than they are after Pat
Brown and they have the sort of an attitude, if Shell can't win,
Nixon can't either, which is, I think, wrong."

DUGGAN DISCUSSED FIELD RESEARCH BUREAU
AND COLUMNIST JAMES RESTON WITH RESPECT
TO NIXON
DUGGAN WAS SHOWN IN MEDIUM CLOSEUP
DUGGAN: "The Field Research Bureau has a poll out, it's called the
California Poll and this is checking the gubernatorial race here in
California and the Los Angeles Times, I believe, is a subscriber to
this poll. I, checked today and I found out that forty newspapers
in this area subscribe. Apparently, Time Magazine subscribes too, or
they "re stealing it from one of the papers because they printed the
results of that poll, or at least part of it in their current issue
of Time, I believe it's the April 13th issue, or April the 12th
issue, or whatever the heck they call it.
"It's one that went on sale, supposedly today, but got here a day
ahead of time, --1t was here Monday, for some mysterious reason, This
poll, the California Field Research Bureau's, now shows Pat Brown
shead 45-42 with 13% of those people polled, undecided. This is the
first time that Brown has been shead, and it's caused something of
a furor, and, of course, this is great consolation not only to Brown
and to his backers but to the Liberala all over the country because
this means that Richard Nixon's chances of becoming Governor are on
the wane.
"Last month he was shead and now, of course, he's behind and they're
hoping that this establishes a trend. I wanted to find out something
sbout the Field Research Bureau, whatever they call it, that does
the California poll--so I called the losal office today, this is
just the field office here for Mervin Fields, who is the Head, the
owner of the orgamization, President of the Company. He works out of
San Francisco. I asked them how many newspapers subscribed and they
said 40.

"I couldn't get much out of the looal office. The young lady
was very pleasant but she wanted all the information to come from Mr.
Field, so finally, late this afternoon, I got a hold of Mr. Efeld.
And to say that I talked to an unhappy man is to put it mildly. Mr.
Field's first thing to me was that he didn't know whether he'd ever
take a political poll again because he sort of said that the people
that he meets are hypocrites and people who are not respectable,--
this is not the people that are polled but this is the politicians
that he's inquiring about because he said that at one time they,
say, that his poll is fine and then, six months later, if 1t goes
against them, they'll say he's a crook and everything else. But any-
way, he says they're hypocrites and people who are not respectable
and I thought he was going to cry.
"I had to buok him up a little b1t and I sayd, "These things
happen.' of course, for him to find out that they're hypocrites after
taking, let's see, we checked today and he's done 87 elections since
1946 and, for him to just find out on Tuesday of 1962 that they're
hypocrites and not respectable, -1t's a strange thing. You'd think
that his poll would have showed that long ago. For the poll to take
17 years to come up with a rebult like that, it's strange. No all
knew that the first time when we voted. Anyway, I wanted to find
out exactly how they took the poll and they have some sort of a
trick questionnaire with some trade secrets in it that he wouldn't
toll me about, nor would he send me a copy of this questionnaire.
But they sampled 1200 people in California, to find out how California
is going to vote.
"Now, they have 80 interviewers, house (510)--, getting these
1200 people to respond, --I guess they call them responders--every once
in awhile and, of course, Los Angeles gets Its percentage of those
interviewers and, of course, we vote our percentage worth of the
State population of the 1200. So it's 1200 people that are voting in
this pollend that's not necengarily a cross-section, although I'm
sure that the Field Research Bureau does its lovel best to try to
make it a cross-section, but 1200 out of an entire population of
around 15 million; --you have to admit--isn't overly generous a sampling
but 1t seems to me that it worked out before. I asked him how he
predicted the Presidential election, the last Presidential election,
for California and he told me, by gosh, that he picked Kennedy in
that one. or course, 1t was Kennedy 52, Nixon 49. He doesn't think,
though, that Kennedy was ahead 1n his poll, well you remember Richard
Nixon carried the State, so he lost that.
"Well now, that's a swing of almost points, 51 to 49, that's two
points there-and Richard Nixon had 50.3 off the vote, DO you can sèe
It's almost 3 points that be was off 10. that one so he vasn't so close.
so, we don't necessarily have to feel that he's: particularly close this
time. So I wouldn't advise the public, 09 former vice-President Nixon
to withdraw from the race just yet. Anóther thing I was interested
in--I asked Mervin Field, the President of the Group, if he, was a.
registered voter in this State and he said that he was.a registered
voter in this State and I asked what his Party affiliationms, and he
3
wouldn't tell me. He said he didn't think that was pertinent. I
suppose it isn't pertinent but you know how inquisitive people are
and what with his having Kennedy in front in the Presidential election,
Now Brown is in front in this one, would just like to know what
his registration is and, so, I couldn't find out today but I'm going
to find out tomorrow, what his registration 18. Do you wanna make a
bet?
"I bet you I know already what his registration is and T'll know
tomorrow night. I would say that Las Vegas would put it OF to 1 he's
a Democrat, maybe s to 1. I personally put it at 7 to 8 that he's
a Democrat but we won't know until tomorrow. Now poor Nixon,-this is
a very bad period for Nixon. Marquise Childs has taken @ pick at him,
Nixon has lost one election in his career and that was for the Presidency,
last time and he. lost that with a photograph finish, but Marquiss
Childs, the great political writer says that Nixon has developed a
losing habit. You lose a photograph finish, you get 35 million votes,
or something like that, and lose the Presidency by 112,000 out of 70,000,
000 votes cast, and suddenly you develop the losing habit off that one
photograph finish because you lost by a whisker. That's Marquise Childs.
"James Reston, of course, James had always been one of the great
admirers of Richard Nixon, and 1t was his slanted news releases, when
he. followed the Presidential campaign that, quite possibly, defeated
Richard Nixon. And so James had a column in the Los Angeles Times
a few days ago, and here's what 1t says.
"isan Francisco. There is on element of ironic fate in Richard
Nixon's strenuous campaign for the California Governorship. Everything
he says or does these days soieme to go wrong. He makes a long, son-
sible campaign speech but stumbles into that creck about the Thennedy
carpetbaggers" and is in trouble. He writes a book and suddenly die-
covers that he has inadvertantly helped his old entagonist, Alger
Hiss, of all people. Luck helped bring him to the pinnacle of national
politics, and the luok of his age and his California origin, -but his
luck now seems to be running out. The harder he runs, the more he
stumbles. The more he writes, the more he reveals his own compulsion
for self-analysis. The more be trice to essape from his early Right
wing political associates, the nore they resent him." And it good on
and on and on like this, in which James Reston doesn't seem, to me,
shows anything with his biss egainst Richard Nixon because be made:
a quick swing through the State and; suddenly, he finds that Nimn
isn't running well. And yet Nimn is going all over the State and
4a drawing tremendous crowds. And yet, James Reston seems to see
nothing in that at all. He's drawing not only tremendous crowds but
very enthusiastic crowds and 80 that was the 11e, what James Reston was
saying here.
"James Reston, of course, might feel a little edgy about this term
'carpetbagger' because James Reston, being & writer for the New York
Times and being an Easterner, quite possibly would be considered a
carpetbagger for just writing this column, which might, --which be
hopes will help to defest Richard Nixon. A strange thing about Jumes
Reston's writing, he goos on, and there's one part here that I
thought was rather strange. He nays, "All the articles and books and
cap
8.
campaign talks and TV appearances have not silenced these doubts. He
is still a figure of controversy. First, among the Democrats who
feel that he went beyond the bounds of political warfare and now
among his former Right wing disciples who regard him as B turnooat."
But this part, First among the Democrats, who feel that he went
beyond the bounds of political warfare." I wonder what James Reston
means by that, I wonder if he means that Nixon's decision to pursue
Alger Hiss and to prove that he was a liar, a filthy lier by the
clock, and he also proved out that he was a spy against his own
country. I wonder if that's what he means that he went beyond the
bounds of political warfare. I wonder if that is what he has in mind
because, you see, James Reston, James Reston recommended Alger Hiss
when he took his final job with, whatever it was, The Carnegie Fund
or one of those large Organizations. So, James Reston quite possibly
could feel that Nixon was well beyond the bounds of political
warfare because he was one of the men that was completely embarrassed
by the fact offawhat Alger Hiss actually was. So you see, why James
Reston has 8 vendetta against Richard Nixon and why he has indulged
in carpetbagger tactics to tell the people of California how badly
Nixon is doing. But, anyone here, any voter or any person, say, from
18 yrs. and on that takes an interest in politics would know more
about how well Nixon is doing or how poorly, than James Reaton would,
who visits here for a couple of days.

Bob Schakney, the new Network News Director for
CBS, assigned to Los Angeles, called to say that they are
planning a CBS "Eye Witness to History" program on the
California gubernatorial election, to run on a Friday night
sometime before the primary.
Principal interest in coverage on this half-hour program
will be devoted to RN since the national interest in this election
is focused on him -- not on Brown.

can give him advance guidance. Otherwise, it will probably be
run on Friday, the 11th, or the 18th.

CBS will pick up some sound on film coverage of campaign

activities during the week of April 23rd for use on this program. They
P.R. - TV (Cand.)
also want to film on tape an RN interview - very brief - for inclusion
in the show. This should be done not more than a day or two before
the scheduled broadcast date.
Sandy should keep in touch with Bob Schakney on this.
