Dear Mr. Eubank:
This is just a note to thank you for your letter
of May 9 to my good friend, Lee McNitt who was kind
enough to pass it along to me for my information.
Needless to say, I am deeply concerned about
the situation in Cuba and am keeping a close watch on
developments there. In particular, I deplore the regime's
failure to honor their international obligations and their
duty to compensate the owners of expropriated holdings.
You may be sure that 1 advocate upholding our legitimate
interests in the area and will support measures to achieve
this end.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank
you for the generous comments which you included in

Dear Lee:
I am writing to you, instead of Dick Nixon, because I
know that you know him personally and if you think it
wise to forward this letter to him, it will more promptly
come to his personal attention.
The recent incident in Russia in connection with our jet
pilot being shot down really does not come to me as too
much of a surprise, except the fact that they were able
to get at him. I am heartily in accord with keeping our
State Department and our military informed 100 per cent
on what is going on in the world and when you get caught
doing this, sometimes it is bad.
The situation, however, that is particularly disturbing to
me at this time is the fact that this country has knowingly
allowed the Russians to come into Cuba and build rocket
bases practically within sight of our shores; and at the
same time are subsidizing the Cuban sugar situation, even
though the present Cuban regime is confiscating American
property in Cuba.
It may be that our military or our State Department is
afraid to do something about it because they fear starting
a third world war, but on the other hand, it looks like this
policy is such that we are waiting on purpose until the Russians
complete their facilities and are able to put up a better scrap.
I just cannot understand the thinking in connection with this
Mr. Lee McNitt

and if there is an explanation, I would like to know what it
is.
As you know, I was raised as a Democrat many, many years ago,
but I became thoroughly disgusted with the Democratic proce-
dures during the Roosevelt Administration and then after living
in Independence, Missouri, for many years as a youngster,
only three doors from where Harry Truman now lives, I became
even more disgusted with the Democrats. This letter is being
addressed to you thinking that it may be forwarded to our next
President. Certainly he is the best man available today and
has had the proper training, even though some of his ideas
are more liberal than mine. I still expect to support him.
If you do hear from this, I will appreciate your forwarding
the information to me as I am quite disturbed.
Very best personal regards.
Very truly yours,
F. EUBANK

I was tied up at the time.
Loie passed along your message concer-

Dear Bob:
Enclosed is a clipping from one of the Honolulu newspapers which my
good friend Dr. Hung Wo Ching of Honolulu sent on to me in behalf
of Bill Richardson who apparently is a candidate for one of the
District judgeships in that district.
While it would seem to me most unusual that a democrat might be con-
sidered for such a judgeship, you and I both know that the people of
Hawaii, at the moment at least, are taking a fierce pride in their
new organizational set-up and are recognizing many of their outstand-
ing citizens of both parties in various capacities.
Dr. Ching is a most influential citizen of our new State, and I am
sure any representation in behalf of Bill Richardson's appointment
would be most favorably received by a large segment of the Hawaiian
population and can certainly redound to the credit of the Attorney
General and the Administration in Hawaii.
I would appreciate it if you might check this situation and let me
know, very confidentially, what may be done on behalf of Richardson.

R. L. McNitt, Jr.

that very much for we were sorry not to have seen you. We do

As Miss Mulqueen told you, we tried to

Our time while in Washington was rather hectic and having

Dear Dick:
The baseballs arrived intact last Friday and we are making
plans to announce at the big civic celebration next Thursday
night opening the season, the awarding of the Nixon Trophys
by the Vice President of the United States to those members
of the two teams, Pee Wee and Junior, winning their leagues
at the end of the summer.
It was a tremendous job I know signing all these balls but I
am sure that you will get the same thrill I do in seeing these
young boys develop under proper supervision. With the incentive
of your interest behind them, I know that they will all have a
very successful season here at Whittier.
I will be in Washington, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday,
June 30th, July lst and 2nd and will stop in to pay my personal

Dear Dick:
For myself and all of the kids of the Whittier area who participate in
our Pee Wee Baseball League each summer, may I express our very great
appreciation for your willingness to provide that little extra touch
which means so much to the young boy today.
I am asking Johnny Baker of Whittier Sporting Goods to ship three
dozen baseballs to you for your autograph and I wish you would ask
Dorothy to return them to me here at Rose Hills, C.O.D. Railway Express.
To fill you in on this youth project, you will remember that about three
years ago John Gregg got a group together and we organized the Whittier
Pee Wee League. Chief Newman is President of the League and Bob Myers
of Myers Department Store is the Vice President.
qoqal
This year we will have three different leagues in which somewhere around
400 boys will participate during the period May 16th to about the first
of September. It was my thought that we would award each of the boys
on the different league championship teams, the "Nixon Trophy", in addition
to the cups and medals which they win.
We hope to kick off the league with our good friend, Charlie Sword, Mayor
of Whittier, throwing out the first ball on June 24th and from time to
time thereafter, I will be sending you pictures and some of the publicity
in connection with this very worthwhile project.
With my kindest regards to you, Pat and the staff, I am,

Dear Lee:
This is just a note to thank you for your
letter of March 16 and to tell you how much I appre-
ciated receiving the first envelope which was run
through your new postage meter.
Naturally I was pleased to see the imprint
of your new postage meter slug and I hope you will
convey my appreciation to the other members of your
association.
It was certainly good to see Gene when he
VALO here in Washington, and I hope it will not be
too long before you will be coming back here again.
Pat joins me in sending our very best
wishes.

Dear Dick:
Enclosed is a copy of one of our envelopes on which is imprinted
our new postage meter slug. This is the first envelope run through
the new meter and I thought you might be interested in having a copy
of it in your file.
I hope that we are not the only ones in Whittier who use it and
while we had it made up, we certainly do want all business firms who
can use it, to have it available.
Gene Blalock called last night to say that he had a nice visit with
you and with Pat and that he had spent some time with your wonderful
staff this last week.
We are hopeful that somebody pulls a national cemetery bill out of
the file and asks for a hearing on it in order that we may have an
opportunity to visit with you.
My best to you and the family.

Dear Bill:
I want to express my appreciation for all your terrific
assistance while Ray and I were in Washington this week.
The best part of the trip was to be able to come in and
say hello to all your gang once again. We were particularly
lucky to see Nancy and yourself just before we left.
I see Bill Knowland is to make the "commencement address"
on behalf of the Governor and I know you will be glad that
that matter is settled.
Please give our best to Dick.

Honorable Richard Nixon

Dear Senator Nixon:
You will recall, I am sure, that you wrote to me on October 2,
1951, and requested that you be furnished a copy of an Army Staff
Study, dated September 12, 1947, entitled "Administration of National
Cemeteries."
I am glad to inclose herewith a copy of the study which you
requested. I sincerely regret the length of time that has been
necessary for me to obtain a copy of that Study, and I do hope that
my delay in forwarding you this material has not inconvenienced you
in any way.
In connection with this study, I feel that I should point out
a very important factor. The document which you requested, and
which I am forwarding herewith, is merely a Staff Study prepared
for interdepartmental use only and does not in any way represent the
official views of the Department of the Army on this subject. Since
the date of preparation of this document, the actual official views of
Department regarding the Administration of National Cemeteries were
given this past summer in the hearings before the Subcommittee on
Public Lands of the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs of the
House of Representatives when that Committee was considering H. R. 5,
82d Congress, "A Bill, To create a National Cemetery Commission for
the consolidation of national cemetery activities within one civilian
commission, and for other purposes.' The testimony presented by the
official representatives of the Department of the Army before that
Committee may be found in the following inclosed copies of the transcript
of those hearings, which I am taking the liberty of forwarding you here-
with:
Hearing on July 18, 1951 (Inclosure 2)
Hearing on August 2, 1951 (Inclosure 3) and
Hearing on August 3, 1951 (Inclosure 4)
I am also taking the liberty of inclosing a copy of the transcript
of the record of hearings on H. R. 5, which took place on July 17,
1951 (Inclosure 5), since I believe that this transcript may contain
information which may be of assistance to you.
Honorable Richard Nixon
November 8, 1951
I sincerely hope that this letter with its inclosures will be
sufficient for your present purposes. If you should desire any
further data on this subject, please do not hesitate to let me know.
Again, let me apologize for the delay in getting this information
to you.
With kindest regards, I am,

Dear Miss Wright:
This is in response to your telephone conversation of September 28,
1951 with Mr. Milton C. Forster of this office in regard to & re-
quest received by Senator Nixon's Office for information on the
number of deceased persons who will have been potentially eligible
for burial in national cemeteries by the year 2000.
It. is estimated that approximately 17 million members and former
members of the armed forces of the United States, who were alive on
September 1, 1951, will have died by the year 2000. (This estimate
includes approximately 11,150,000 World Mar II participants; 3,450,000
World Har I participants; 100,000 Spanish-American Mar participants;
and 2,300,000 others.) The remains of these persons, whose last per-
iod of service terminated or will terminate honorably, by death or
otherwise, will be eligible for burial in national cometeries. In
addition, the remains of certain relatives of mombers and former mem-
bers of the armed forces will be eligible for burial in national
cemeteries.
It should be noted that the above estimate does not include persons
who may become eligible for burial in national cemeteries by reason
of service in the armed forces of the United States after September 1,
1951.

Dear Dick:
In connection with National Cemetery legislation, the Department
of the Army prepared two studies of which I would like to secure
copies. It would be greatly appreciated if you might ask Bill
or Jack to secure those for us. Their contact on this should be
Colonel James B. Clearwater, Chief, Memorial Division, Office of
-131- X 55289
Quartermaster General, Department of the Army.
These two studies include first, a graph prepared by the Army in
1936 or 1937 wherein they established the contemplated number of
deaths of war veterans potentially eligible for burial in
national cemeteries up to or about 2000. If they have brought
this graph up to date, it would be very helpful. Secondly, we

would like to secure a copy of an Army Staff study dated

for relaxation.

Dear Lee:
I am returning, under separate cover, the very nice
remembrances which you, Gene Blalock, and Ray Brennan sent
to the girls in the office.
You may be sure that all of us greatly appreciated your
thoughtfulness in remembering the girls on the staff as you did,
particularly since in your case we would always know that there
could never be any question of any ulterior motives in your action.
However, a policy has been established, both for the White House
and for our staff, under which gifts to individual members of the
staff are not accepted. I am sure you will agree with the wisdom
of not making any exceptions to this policy, particularly in view
of some of the problems the previous administration ran into in
this respect.
Each of the girls has asked that I express her apprecia-
tion for the thoughtfulness behind your gesture. We all hope that
you, Gene Blalock, and Ray Brennan will be making other trips
to Washington, and that we may be able to be of some assistance
in making them pleasant ones.

Dear Lee:
Under separate cover, I am returning to you the
very nice remembrances which you, Gene Blalock, and
Ray Brennan recently sent to the girls here.
You may be sure serious consideration was given
before we decided that, despite the fact these tokens of
appreciation were from people whom we know very well
and whose intentions certainly never could be questioned,
it would not be in keeping with the current Administration's
policy and philosophy for the girls to accept them.
