Remarks by RICHARD NIXON
FOR AM RELEASE
Win With Nixon Rally
October 18, 1962
Richmond
October 17, 1962
A million people a day are directly affected by unemployment in California.
The families of the 323,000 people now out of work are not satisfied with Mr. Brown's
smog-screen of smug statistics.
What is hidden behind the Ballyhoo Curtain that his tax-supported press-agents have
erected?
Unemployment is up 44.8% in the past three years under the Brown Administration.
Industrial expansion is now only half the amount necessary to create full employment
for our expanding population.
The greatest tax increase in history $1 billion in four years -- has forced
44 job-producing businesses to close down or expand outside California.
Work stoppages caused the highest loss of paychecks in ten years in the second
quarter of 1962.
Business bankruptcies have gone up 54% with more businesses going under in California
than in New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, Ohio and Michigan combined.
Bringing new jobs to California demands a big league team. We cannot beat the men
and resources that New York has thrown into the fight for new investment with a bush
league outfit. In plant starts and expansion, we are now losing to New York by a score of
three to one. Mr. Brown's Economic Development Agency cannot point to a single business it
has brought into the State. We must get back in the game with a giant "California Crusade
for New Business Investment."
Yet my opponent not only refuses to recognize this problem and to deal with it, but
he hires a team of puff-peddlers to cover it with a bright Halloween mask.
When pressed for a program, he falls back on the same old snake oil remedy -- big
government spending. But the patient will only get sicker for more spending leads to
more taxes, which leads, to less business, which results in fewer obs.
My program for a greater California will break this vicious cycle by starting with a
$50 million cut in government spending next year. This kind of policy will attract the
$20 billion in new business investment California needs to meet its minimum goal of
1,000,000 new jobs in private enterprise over the next four years.

AREA FACT SHEET
SANTA CRUZ COUNTY:
1. Population is 84,219, up 26.6% from 1950 (1960 census).
Per capita income is $2175, about $500 below the state average. Largest
city is Santa Cruz, population 25,569, up 16.5% from 1950.
2. The Santa Cruz Mountains cover most of the County
and only 39% of its land area is devoted to farming, mostly vegetables.
3. One of the main points of interest is the Big Basin
Redwoods State Park -- the first preserve of redwoods set aside as a
State Park.
4. SANTA CRUZ (named by Father Crespi and meaning "Holy
Cross") is noted as a recreational area with excellent beaches and
unsurpassed mountain scenery and resorts. Some of its redwoods have
a circumference of 50 feet.
5. The area is attracting light industry. Its early-day
logging industry has slowed, and newer industries prevail. The William
Wrigley, Jr., chewing gum plant at Santa Cruz produces more than $10
million in chewing gum'annually. At the site of an old whaling station,
Pacific Coast Aggregates now has an F.O.B. output of $10 million annuall
in cement products.
6. WATSONVILLE, the heart of the Pajaro Valley, is the
frozen food center of the State. The F.O.B. market value of agriculture
in 1960 was $41,793,000. Watsonville has created "industrial parks" for
light industry. While industry is growing, the tourist trade is the
- more -
-2-
biggest business for Santa Cruz County -- $30 million annually.

prime attraction. Much of the land is mountainous, with the Santa Lucia Range pre-
dominating along the coast.
4. Petroleum processing, a comparatively new industry, is providing
large industrial payrolls, particularly at the port of Avila. Most of the oil origi-
nates in the San Joaquin Valley and is piped to tank farms.
5. SAN LUIS OBISPO, the county seat, is the site of the California State
Polytechnic College, and center of trading for the area. Food processing plants are
numerous. Light industry is also flourishing.

SANTA BARBARA COUNTY:
1. Population is 168,962 (1960 census), an increase of 72% over 1950.
Per capita income is $2,672, nearly equal to the state average.
2. Growth since 1956 has been rapid, largely due to (a) bringing water
through the Tecolote Tunnel to the coastal plain; (b) establishment of a number of
electronic and research and development firms; (c) establishment of Vandenberg Air
Force Base and Naval Missile Facility at Point Arguello. These latter two instal-
lations employ almost 50,000 persons.
3. A total of 53.5% of the land is devoted to farms, with livestock pre-
dominating. Lemon growing and truck farming are followed on a large scale. Petro-
leum is the major industry.
4. The history of Santa Barbara dates back to 1542 when Juan Cabrillo
discovered the Santa Barbara Channel. Later he crossed to San Miguel Island, where
he died and was buried, according to legend.
5. Ranch life is favored in the back country, which keeps alive the Days
of the Dons. Seacoast resorts are numerous and the mild climate is favored by re-
tired people.
6. The City of SANTA BARBARA is noted as a tourist resort and for its
beautiful homes. Its sizeable fishing fleet also is an attraction. Specialized
light industry -- cosmetics, toys, plastics, jewelry -- is growing in volume.
7. SANTA MARIA is the second largest city with a population of 20,027;
the leading trade center in the northern part of the County. It also has profited
tremendously from the Vandenberg and Missile facilities. 011 refining, food process-
ing, and the manufacturer of aluminum window sash, wire and thermostats are among the
industries.

approximating 6,000,000. The City of Los Angeles is the largest city, with appro-
ximately 2,600,000. Oil, citrus, agriculture, motion pictures, airplane manufacturing
and defense industries contribute to its vast payrolls. The population explosion has
been astounding, with many suburbs increasing to almost 300% in size in the past
10 years.
2. PICO RIVERA is typical of the population boom. Formerly a suburban
area of farms, crossroad businesses and waystops, the area has rapidly become ur-
banized. Its proximity to downtown LOS ANGELES -- 18 miles -- makes it desirable for
suburban real estate developments, many of which have been established. Population
is 49,150.

ANAHEIM. It appears in recorded history as early as 1769 when visited by Gaspar de
Portola.
3. Orange County currently is having a phenomenal residential and indus-
trial boom. Previously agricultural, the county's population explosion shows no signs
of diminishing. Many cities have increased more than 100% in recent years. One city,
GARDEN GROVE, in eight years after 1950 increased 1,452% in population.
4. Industry is varied, from boat building at NEWPORT-BALBOA, to food
processing and precision tool manufacturing.
5. Oil and gas deposits account for 90 per cent of the mineral income.
Clays and rock products are in abundance.
6. Orange County is the home of the E1 Toro Marine Corps Air Station
east of Santa Ana -- and Disneyland at Anaheim.
7. Taxable retail sales in the county have increased from$144,838,000 in
1949 to $711,679,000 in 1960. Manufacturing employment has increased from 5,930 in
1947 to 47,181 in 1960. School enrollment in grades 1-8 has increased from 29,223 in
1950 to 134,356 in 1960, up 359.8 for the 10-year period.

Industry came their way slowly, but in the electronics age it came with a rush and
drew hundreds of thousands of new residents. Many own their own homes in expanding
nearby subdivisions. Their remarkable growth is still on the upgrade.

SEPTEMBER 1962
BIOGRAPHY OF DICK NIXON
Two weeks before Dick Nixon started out on the home stretch
of his 1962 campaign for Governor of California, he made a 5 a.m.
visit to the Los Angeles produce market.
Moving through the market, chatting and shaking hands, the
former Vice President stopped to talk to an eight-year-old, tousle-
headed boy to tell him what his future might hold.
It was a significant visit because this boy had come to the
early morning market with his father just as Dick Nixon had made
these same early morning produce-buying trips with his father 40
years before.
Now, at 49, Dick Nixon is a political figure known throughout
his native state, his nation and in most parts of the world. He
twice was elected to Congress. He served California in the United
States Senate. He gave new stature and meaning to his office as he
served two terms as Vice President. He was his party's nominee for
President in 1960 and lost by the closest margin of any candidate in
this century.
Two years later, he opened his campaign for Governor in
Pomona, where he launched his first campaign for political office.
A native of California, Dick Nixon was educated in California
public schools, Whittier College (B.A. 1934) and received his law
degree from Duke University on a scholarship (LL.B. 1937). He was
born in Yorba Linda and grew up in Whittier where his Quaker parents
operated a combination gas station-grocery store.
Nixon stepped from wartime service in the U. S. Navy to the
political arena in the 1946 campaign when a group of friends urged
him to oppose Representative Jerry Voorhis, a Democrat incumbent of
10 years' entrenchment.
The race cost much of the money he and Pat Nixon had saved
from his Navy pay, but he won it by 15,594 votes. Two years later
(MORE)
-2-
he was reelected by receiving both the Republican and Democratic
nominations.
Nixon distinguished himself in the House by his work as a
freshman member of the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
When others were ready to apologize to Alger Hiss, Nixon, the young
lawyer, "broke" the case with his interrogation of Whitaker Chambers
and Alger Hiss.
His actions, which pitted him against some of the strongest
political forces in the country at the time, awoke the nation to the
true dangers of Communist subversion and espionage.
Nixon also worked tirelessly to reform the procedures of
Congressional investigations, introducing measures which have since
become common practice, such as permitting witnesses to be accom-
panied by legal counsel.
Nixon's record as a Congressman, and his dynamic approach to
the problems of California and the nation, enabled him to defeat
Congresswoman Helen Gahagan Douglas, a New Deal Democrat and former
actress, for the United States Senate in 1950. His margin of
670,000 votes was the greatest of any Senate victory that year.
Senator Nixon was the Vice Presidential choice of the
Republican National Convention in 1952, teaming him with General
Dwight D. Eisenhower. His selection came without opposition. Then
39 years old, he was one of the youngest ever nominated for that
office.
Dwight D. Eisenhower and Richard Nixon won sweeping victories
in 1952 and 1956.
President John Adams once said the Vice Presidency is "the
most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived
or his imagination conceived." President Eisenhower saw the job
differently and gave his Vice President new responsibilities for
leadership. Both parties have agreed that Vice President Nixon
(MORE)
-3-
responded to the challenge by elevating his office and providing
firm leadership which won both national and international acclaim.
The song "California Here I Come" was heard on every continent
as Pat and Dick Nixon traveled to 54 countries, covering 160,000
miles on goodwill missions for the United States.
Yet, while serving 14 years in Washington, Nixon constantly
worked to solve the problems of his native state and developed a
working knowledge of every facet of California.
Nixon has told friends that one of his aims as Governor is to
elevate the office of the leader of the nation's first state to a
position of stature growing with California.

OCTOBER 1962
BIOGRAPHY OF PAT NIXON
A true partner from the start was Patricia Ryan, beginning
from the time she pooled her savings with those of her fiance --
Richard Nixon -- to buy her engagement and wedding rings, through
campaigning with him for public office.
Pat Nixon is not one to simply stand by Dick Nixon's side at
a political function, she is a respected campaigner in her own right.
From licking stamps and stuffing envelopes in her husband's earlier
campaigns through speaking to women voters and other groups, she has
always been beside him on the firing line.
Pat Ryan learned soon after she met Dick Nixon that she had
met a man of uncommon drive, ability and direction. It was a story-
book romance from the start.
On their first date, the man who was to be Vice President
twelve years later said flatly, "Someday I'm going to marry you."
Two years later, in 1940, they were married in a Quaker ceremony at
the Mission Inn in Riverside.
Nixon first heard about Pat when he returned in 1937 from
receiving his law degree at Duke University. He was home only a few
days when friends told him of the brown-eyed blonde who was teaching
shorthand and typing at Whittier High School.
Nixon also learned that Miss Ryan was in a community theater
group and would be rehearsing a play that night. Nixon went to the
rehearsal and not only met Miss Ryan but landed the romantic lead
opposite her.
It was on their first date, including a rehearsal of the play,
that Nixon announced his intentions.
The partnership of Pat Ryan and Dick Nixon started simultan-
eously with their engagement. Besides pooling their money for rings
they went on a two-week honeymoon in Mexico City on pooled money.
(MORE)
-2-
Both knew what hard work was . Nixon went to Duke on a
scholarship earned in Whittier College. He earned his living expenses
by working in the university library. Pat had been an X-ray technicia;
and a salesgirl in a Los Angeles department store to earn her way
through the University of Southern California.
Nixon was commissioned in the Navy a year after their marriage
and she followed him around the country working at whatever jobs she
could find. She was a bank teller, a file clerk and a secretary.
Four years later, when Lieutenant Commander Nixon was dis-
charged from the Navy after more than a year in the South Pacific,
they had saved part of his Navy pay towards opening a law office.
But even before Nixon got out of uniform a group of friends urged
him to run for Congress against Representative Jerry Voorhis.
With a three-week-old baby, Tricia, now 16, and the savings,
the Nixons hit the campaign trail. Much of the money was spent, but
Nixon beat the five-term Democrat Congressman by 15,000 votes.
The Nixon cycle of campaign, public life, campaign has barely
ceased since then. It went through a 1948 campaign for Congress when
Julie, now 14, was born; a race for the United States Senate in 1950;
and the Vice Presidency in 1952 and 1956. All of them were winners.
Even in the spotlight of public life in Washington Pat Nixon
has devoted herself to bringing up her daughters in as unaffected an
atmosphere as possible. She has won citations as a housewife and
mother as well as for her courageous goodwill missions in all parts
of the world.
Pat Nixon has won the smiles of children and the ill in
hospitals and orphanages around the world. And she has won the hearts
of millions of Americans as a woman who stands by her husband in the
thick of battle.
In 1962 she again is campaigning with Dick Nixon in his border-
to-border drive to restore good government to California's capital.
And since the General Election campaign opened on September 12, 1962,
she has shaken hands with 35,000 women at receptions throughout the
state.

Pico Rivera
October 19, 1962
California, under the present administration, has the
worst record of highway fatalities in the nation. This loss of
lives can be prevented by strong leadership from the Governor's
office.
I pledge a hard-hitting four-year program to make our
highways the safest in the nation.
1. Require individuals, as a condition of licensing, to
agree to take a blood alcohol test if they are stopped on
suspicion of drunk driving.
2. Make removal of licenses mandatory upon conviction
for drunk driving.
3. Make jail sentences mandatory upon conviction of
drunk driving.
4. Make State vehicle inspection mandatory.
5. Speed up driver education, particularly behind-
the-wheel training.
In my Program for a Greater California, highway safety
will also be achieved by improving freeway construction and by
creating a Rapid Transit District of Southern California to
relieve traffic conjestion.
During the present State administration, drunk driving
as a cause of traffic accidents has increased 21%. Yet when
Bob McCarthy tried to crack down on this manslaughter, my
opponent forced him out of office.
The choice is clear. Mr. Brown is satisfied with
things as they now stand. I propose a strong highway safety
program. More than 25,000 Californians have been killed on our
highways in the past six years and strong measures must be
taken.

RICHARD NIXON
October 20, 1962
Win With Nixon Rallies
San Diego and Riverside
October 19, 1962
We will never beat down the criminal element in
California with a Governor who is not concerned that our crime
rate is nearly double the national average.
When we compare the crime situation in California
with crimes in New York -- two states with the same population -
we find: Three times as many rapes in California; twice as
many robberies, burglaries and auto thefts and 50 percent more
aggravated assaults.
The reason for this is not the quality of local law
enforcement officers. California has the best local peace
officers in the United States. But they have been handcuffed for
four years by disinterest and disrespect from the Governor's
office.
If Mr. Brown spent the same energy fighting crime as
he has spent fighting men like the Chief of Police and Sheriff
of Los Angeles, we would now have the best record of crime pre-
vention instead of the worst record of crimes committed in the
United States.
This record of indecision and failure shows why the
Governor has been the weak link in the law enforcement chain.
The failure to smash the narcotics traffic:
When a Southern California high school student was
murdered by two drug addicts and a delegation of young people
asked Mr. Brown for stronger anti-narcotics legislation, his
smug reply was, "I don't believe (in having) 250 children call-
ing on the Governor to discuss something they know, nothing
about. He did nothing for two full years.
The failure to smash the pronography traffic:
Obscene books and films are a half-billion dollar a
year business in California. Yet when my opponent had the
opportunity to sign a strong law against this traffic in filth
and smut he vetoed it and supported a soft law.
- More -
- 2 -
The failure to support capital punishment as a deterrent
to crime:
When a dangerous rapist was sentenced to death by a
legally constituted court of this state, Mr. Brown tired to
pass the buck to world opinion rather than uphold the law of
California,
The failure to back up our local law enforcement
officials:
When all the associations of peace officers in
California asked for 15 strong anti-crime measures, Mr. Brown
allowed all of them to be killed in the legislature.
****
This is my program to reverse this attitude of smug-
ness and disinterest.
1. Strong support for capital punishment, including
the death penalty for big-time dope peddlers.
2. A forceful legislative program, including laws to
redefine search and seizure and protect the identity of informants
who are essential in smashing the narcotics traffic.
3. Positive action to build a new respect for our law
enforcement officers, including annual California Awards for the
finest contribution in fighting juvenile delinquency and for
bravery beyond the call of duty.
4. The immediate establishment of a Governor's Council
on Crime Prevention and Law Enforcement to coordinate the fight
for a safer California.
This top-level Council will mobilize church groups,
boys clubs and other voluntary agencies in a great crusade for
crime prevention.
Law enforcement is government's business, but crime
prevention is everybody's business, I propose to see that all
Californians have the opportunity to personally participate in
the fight to make our streets and highways the safest in the
nation.
As California becomes the first state in the nation,
the choice is clear. We can remain first in crimes committed for
four more years. Or we can become first in crime prevention by
stamping out smugness in the Governor's office and replacing it
with four years of decisive leadership.

I pledge to invite Bob McCarthy and other men of his high calibre into
government service.
I do not believe a political label should be the passport for appointments to
government office. California needs the best men in state service regardless of whether
they may be Republican or Democrat.
Under the Brown Administration, we have seen good men forced out of office.
Bob McCarthy, the California Director of the Department of Motor Vehicles, was completely
handcuffed in his fight for highway safety by what he called "a spineless administration
that lacks both courage and principle."
He resigned with this indictment of Mr. Brown:
"When I accepted your appointment as Director in January, 1959, we agreed to
the seriousness of the traffic problem and the need for vigorous leadership. Since that
time, your support has dwindled steadily and by now has completely disappeared. My
attempts to curb the drunk driver, while initially receiving lip service, saw you cave in
to pressure for a softer law. Leadership could have saved lives. These experiences
are symptomatic of a sick administration."
California cannot afford to lose the services of a dedicated public official
like Bob McCarthy. He is a man who is completely dedicated to ending needless death
and injury on our highways. He is a man who is completely dedicated to government
doing the best job for the least money, instead of reckless empire-building at the
people's expense. California deserves to be led by this type of public official.

FOR GOVERNOR

Mr. Brown's repeated remarks that a governor must be of the same political party
as the president is a shocking and irresponsible statement. It implies that all 50
governors must be of the same party and that the United States should have a one-
party system.
Mr. Brown's statement reflects a lack of understanding of the American system.
His statement is alien to the founding principle of our republic--the division of
government responsibility between the sovereign states and the national union. 146
years ago, Thomas Jefferson said, "What destroys the liberty and the rights of man is
concentrating all powers into one body." Under our system of governing ourselves, in
diversity and decentralization of government power there is strength. And at a time
when we are opposed by a world conspiracy based on rule by one-man and one-party, it
is more important than ever before that we reaffirm the wisdom of our Federal-State
system.
When this nation was founded, 13 American colonies created a unique union of
sovereign states. If Mr. Brown's statement is carried to its inevitable and illogi-
cal conclusion, he would have our 50 sovereign states returned, in effect, to a
colonial status. Each governor would be nothing more than a rubber stamp for the
national Administration. Galifornians--Democrats and Republicans alike--resent Mr.
Brown's attempt to turn the first state in the nation into a giant puppet with the
strings being pulled from Washington D.C.
I believe that the first obligation of a governor is to speak up for the people
of the state who elected him. I disagree completely with Mr. Brown's servile atti-

tude that a governor should be nothing more than a mere agent of the federal govern-
ment in California.
If my opponent had carried this foolishness to its extreme, he would have urged
his own defeat in 1958, since the president was then of a different party. That he
did not employ this fallacious reasoning four years ago only confirms that he is now
a desparate man who will grasp at any coattail in order to stay alive politically.
But Mr. Brown's remarks carry an even more sinister implication-that the Presi-
dent of the United States might use his great power in the allocation of defense con-
tracts to affect the outcome of a free election in a sovereign state.
I am sure that President Kennedy would be the first to repudiate this shocking
implication. He knows that the nation is best served by awarding contracts solely
on the basis of merit. California has the best trained manpower and the best facili-
ties in the nation for defense work, particularly in the field of space. And on
merit, the record of California's industry assures that we will get our fair share
of contracts.
I call upon Mr. Brown, before President Kennedy arrives in California, to re-
tract this embarrassing suggestion that the $50 billion of government contracts would
be used for rewarding the people in states who elect candidates supported by the
national administration and for punishing those who elect candidates who belong to
the opposition party.
I also want to make it absolutely clear that it is nonsense to suggest that I
would use the office of governor of this state to wage war on the President. I can
assure the people of California that I have not done so as a candidate and I will
not do so as governor.
But when the people of California have something to contribute to the debate
on a clear national issue, I believe it is my obligation to speak out. All good idea
do not originate in Washington.
I believe that the Governor of California and the governors of the other states,
when they have experience in a particular field or when the people of the state have
a strong feeling on a particular subject, have an obligation to express these ideas.
Only in this way will national policy reflect the best thinking of all the people.
As President Kennedy said in Fresno on February 12, 1960: "Bi-partisanship does not
mean and was never meant to mean rubber stamping of every executive blunder without
debate."

In this spirit I have strongly supported President Kennedy's position on atomic
testing. And let the record show that a vociferous minority of M r. Brown's CDC
opposed the president on this issue. I have also publicly supported President
Kennedy's action to use American forces to stop Communism in Viet Nam. On the Cuban
crisis, on the other hand, I have stated and I state again that I think Californians
are ahead of Washington. We believe that whatever additional action is necessary to
stop the flow of Soviet men and missiles into Cuba should be taken by the president.
We do not want our generation to go down in history as the period when the Monroe
Doctrine was allowed to die because of the failure of Americans to recognize that
while there are great risks in acting forcefully to protect freedom in America, the
risks of inaction are infinitely greater.
