As you know, these gossip columns are the best read parts of any newspaper. Attached are two examples of such items from the Chicago Tribune this week. The David and Julie story was given to me by David and embellished a little by me. I also used it as an anecdote in my appearance on the Tonight Show with Art Linkletter. Herbert G. Klein HGK : MEW : j aw March 19, 1970 MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT Attached is an editorial from Wednesday's Los Angeles Times which is highly damaging to Senator Murphy. I understand that the San Francisco Chronicle also has something of a negative nature. Three months or so ago I found at one of the political meetings conducted by the Vice President that the Senate Campaign Committee was saying that Murphy had a safe seat. I asked them to look into it more. I then talked privately with Rogers Morton and the Vice President and told them the facts I had heard in Los Angeles regarding Murphy and Technicolor, Inc. I said I felt I should not tell anyone else so as not to tie it to anyone else at the White House or Bob Finch. It was agreed that Morton, who was to be in California, would make some inquiries and, if necessary, the Vice President would discuss this with Murphy and probably yourself. Most of the California Republicans whitewash any doubt of Murphy's electability. I made certain that Morton would talk privately with Miller who gave him a full fill-in. Whether or not they took any action I don't know. HERBERT G. KLEIN Attachment HGK:ger
