March 3,1973.
Dear Rose ,my friend,
How stupid of me to ask you if you could guide me in the direction of
an exempt Government job in Sonoma County since the advertising agency I
worked for in the city lost a big elient they wanted me to go to work
OR January 2.
I should have known the mandatory Goverment age for retirement is
70--and for me that age is just around the cormer--April 11. I apologize
for beging so dumb. I guess I had the financial jitters.
HOWEVER, since I believe in the President and everything he says,
I went to the State Unemployment Office with my veteran's preference, and
come March 15,1 will be a lumber yard guard up the line a piece.
Do I feel degraded? Hell No. I'm very grateful for a job to piece out
my income. (Didm't the President say something during the campaign
about the person with the bed pan being just as important, in his or her way,
as the bank president? I agree.)
I have done another one of my surveys. These are the highlights:
1-Middle Americans, the wealthy, veryone except the activists, the
special pleaders, the hippies and the nuts, are more solidle behind the
President than the last time I checked. They were all for him then but
now they are more vocal.
This appears to be attributable to two circumstances: the manner
+
in which he is getting the POWS home, and an increasing show of toughness
on all problems.

I wept when I heard on TV that a prisoner had phoned the President
from Manila and said, "That God for America and thank God for President
Nixon. "What a wonderful reaction from a prisoner who had fought for
me and for my country.
As I write this, the Sudan business is still going on. The
President's statement that neither he nor the country will be
"blackmailed" is right on the beam.
I have been close to many Presidents in my time. None has had so
S
many problems, SU much gutd and so good a head as the incumbent for which
thank God and him.
2-All of us are worried about a kind sized depression. And none
blame the President. We have all been on a sort
of "Fly Now,
Pay Later" binge. Easy credit has been rampant. We have to pay the
price, and we will. The British call it muddle through. The people to whom
&
$ have talked are all set to do such rather than run the risk of
inflation;
End of survey.
I'm worried about the political situation in California. I
don't mean Reagan's strong support of the President. The proposed shut
down of State Mental institutions, with a hefty State surplus, comes across
very badly.
The Lieutenant Governor lacks exposure and performance. of
course, this is not unusual. It happened to Butch Powers, Goodie Knight
and Bob Finch. The real danger is young Brown is making knots, and at his
best, he is worse than his father ,Pat.

The only hope, as I see it,is that the Republicans unit behind
the Attorney General, who has a good track record and is solid in the
voters mind.
Joe Alioto, while I like him personally, is obviously all talk, and as
ineffective as the Mayor of New York.
I'm afraid the Governor has little on his mind but the Presidency.
Though for now.
You thought it wise to show the President my last letter, and as
you know, he wrote me a personal note of thanks. If you are so minded
with this opus, please do it.
My very best to the President, to you and all of you at the White
House
who are working so hard and so well for all of us.
Sincerely,
Clint

Dear Rose,
AS you know because your or one of your staff typed it, the boss
sent me a very kind note on October 2 about a tape I did for Radio Station
KTOB on Presidents I have known, and how Richard Nixon is far and away
the ablest, the smartest, the best disciplined and most effective President
we have had certainly in this century.
Without any suggestion of mine, the station manager sent the boss the
tape. It was so very thoughtful of him to take time out of what must
be a horrible schedule to thank me.
He never has to thank me for doing anything for him and for my
country, but I certainly appreciated and will always appreciate a word
from him or any of you good folks.
I may be 70 years old but I will speak in
praise
and
appreciation
of the President until there is no more breath left in me. I will
also, when I deem it necessary, continue to bumb anyone on the chin who
makes a vulgar remark about the boss. So far, I'm in excellent physical
shape, and I'm not going around starting fistfrights unnecessarily but
there is a limit to all things I cannot stand anyone, brain washed by
the media, written and electronic, bad mouthing the present President or
any other President. To me, this is the height of unAmericanism.
Rese, I took a day off from work today--I'm working with a landscape
erew from & Sants Resa nursery, and had lunch with the best informed and
highest ranking national Democrat: I know. You, of course, can guess who
he is.

He is as outraged at the treatment being given the President as I am.
He told me two bits of information--not gossip--which I pass on to you.
To keep peace in the family,I guess the first one should be for your
eyes only. And perhaps you and the President are familiar with the
second piece of information.
Here they are:
1-At a recent meeing of the directors of COMSAT which my friend
attended, and before Agnew was indicted, Melvin Laird, laughing and joking,
said the Vice-President was sure to be indicted and would have to quit.
Bitter old Meany joined in with some dispanging remarks and gutter
language. My friend was horrified. There is certainly nothing funny
about Agnew's problems brought on as they were by Government stool
pigeons singing for their dinner, as the police saying goes.
2-When the boss' predecessor was Vice-President and the Bobby Baker
business was heating up, there was streng--very streng--sentiment in the
Senate for creation of a select committee to inquire into the relation-
ship between LBJ and Baker.
and who stopped it? None other than the hypoeritical, Bible thumping
chairman of the Watergate Committee. How about that?
Rose, You and the Boss and Pat have been treated as badly as any
three I have known of low or high estate, but the wheel will turn because
the people want it to. So be of good cheer and hang in there.
I wish I could think of a feelpreef presequre to accomplish this but
in the meantime, will you put the attached letter on the President's desk,
and I'll continue to do my best out here im Northern California?
Thanks,my friend, and the very best of everything. Call
me anytime if you want me to do more.
