I am sure you will\nbe hearing directly from Mr. Vetter who should find your\nadvertising experience and your interest in Mr. Nixon of\ngreat value to him in his work.\nNew Yorkers for Nixon, as you might know, was formed last\nyear as a volunteer group actively dedicated to the Nixon\ncause. I think you will find their work to be very worth-\nwhile and stimulating and trust that you will be able to\nparticipate with them in their endeavors.\nThank you very much for your thoughtfulness in writing,\nand keep up the good work.\nBest regards.=\nSincerely,\nH.

Haldeman\nDRAFT\nRE: Police escorts for motorcades\nThere have been some questions about the methods and principles\ninvolved in requesting police escorts for the Vice President's\nmotorcades.\nThe important thing in this connection is to keep in mind the\npurpose of an escort when one is used. This is, of course, to\ninsure that the entire motorcade, of whatever number of cars it\nconsists, start, continue and arrive at the destination together.\nIn discussing escort plans with the Secret Service field offices\nor with the police, it should be emphasized that the function of\nthe escort is not to provide a body guard for the Vice President\nor a Guard of Honor for the Vice President.\nKeeping these points in mind, it becomes obvious that the number\nof motorcycles or vehicles required to escort the motorcade will\ndepend on the length of the motorcade and number of care in same.\nIt will not require a large number of motorcycles at the front of\nthe motercade or surrounding the Vice President's cars. There\nshould, in most cases, be a lead car out in front usually a\nmarked police car. There should also be a follow-up car after\nthe last official car in the motorcade, and this too, should\nprobably in most cases, be a marked police car. These two ve-\nhicles should be able to maintain radio contact with each other\nso the motorcade can be held intact.\nIf motorcycles are needed in addition to the lead and follow-up\ncars, they should operate on a push basis rather than leap-frogging.\nIn other words, the first motorcyclex arrives at an intersection\njust as the motorcade does and holds the traffic at the inter-\nsection while the motorcade proceeds through. The second motor-\ncycle will be running about even with the third or fourth car in\nthe motorcade and as it comes in to the intersection, the first\nmotorcycle does on shead to the next intersection. The second\none stays there until the next motorcycle arrives about even with\nthe sixth or seventh car and then goes on shead, and so on.\nThus there is no great confusion of motorcycles roaring back\nand forth nor is there any need for extensive use of sirens or\nother sound devices.\nThe most important thing, however, is to emphasise that the\nreal problem is getting the last car in the motorcade to the\n- 2 -\ndestination along with the rest of the cars. Taxis Emphasis\nshould not be placed on the Vice President's car solely. Most\nof the troubles we have had with escorts in the past, have been\ndue to a lack of understanding of this basic principle.\nMay 12, 1960\nMr. Vern Sanford\nGeneral Manager\nTexas Press Association\n1716 San Antonio Street\nAustin 1, Texas\nDear Mr. Sanford:\nMr. Haldeman is out of town until next Monday, but as\nsoon as he returns, I shall bring your letter of May\n11 to his attention.\nIn the meantime, I am enclosing with this letter, glossies\nof the Vice President and Mrs. Nixon for your use.\nSincerely yours,\n(Miss) Christine O'Polka\nSecretary to H.

I think that\nthe Frimary results so far have been very gratifying...\nespecially Indiana, and it looks as though things are\nmoving along very well.\nThank you very much again for sending the handkerchiefs,\nand best regards.\nSincerely,\nH.

Haldeman\nHRH:efo\ncc: Don Hughes:\nDon - What do I do now ?!\n5/16/60\nH.R.H.\nc/s\nMay 16, 1960\nTO: Loie Gaunt\nFROM: Bob Haldeman\nIn the past, as you know, when we are in Chicago we have used Ed\nPower, a former S.S. agent, to handle arrangements for motorcades,\netc. The local committeee has paid for his services, in most cases.\nIn connection with the most recent trip, we are paying him.\nHe has an arrangement with the Hertz Corporation in Chicago whereby\nthey provide the cars for our motorcade, and as you know, Ed lines\nup drivers from the University of Chicago.\nI had always thought he rented the cars from Hertz and since the whole\nthing has always been handled by the local Committee, I had no reason\nto believe otherwise. I now discover that Hertz apparently donates\nthe cars and does not charge us for them. I think, therefore, that\nwe should probably get a letter of thanks off to the Hertz Corporation\nand I understand the proper contact would be Walter L. Jacobs, Presi-\ndent, The Hertz Corporation, 218 South Wabash Avenue, Chicago 4. Illinois.\nI guess he has supplied the cars for all of the trips where we have used\nEd Powers' services since the '58 campaign.\nYou may feel it's better not to write at this point, since we haven't\non earlier trips, but perhaps we could do it on the basis of saying\nthat Ed Power, who has handled our transportation arrangements in\nChicago, has informed me of your cooperation in providing cars...or\nsomething like that.\nWhatever you think is best, will be fine.\n5/16/60\nH.R. H.\nc/s\nMay 16, 1960\nMr. Karl G. Heinse\n404 Stanton Avenue\nTerrace Park, Ohio\nDear Mr. Heinze:\nThank you very much for your letter regarding the article\nin Advertising Age.\nI am sure that your work in the field of public information\ncould be of tremendous value to us in the forthcoming cam-\npaign.\nI am taking the liberty of sending your letter to Mr. Peter\nFlanigan, National Director of Nixon Volunteers. I think\nthat his organization is the one with which you would be\nbest affiliated since they are devoted to the establishment\nof Nixon for President Clubs in communities throughout the\ncountry. Your availability to travel on evenings and week-\nends through the general areas of Southern Ohio and Northern\nKentucky would, I think, make you of tremendous value to this\norganization.\nI am sure Pete Flanigan will want to send your name on to\nhis Area Representative in your part of the country and I\nassume you will hear directly from him in the near future.\nI am very sorry you had no response to your letter to the\nNixon Club at the Shoreham Building. The reason probably\nwas that at the time you wrote, they were not actively\nlooking for volunteer workers in other parts of the country,\nand apparently your offer of services was one which they\ncould not take advantage of right at the time. You should,\nof course, have received a reply, and again, I am very sorry\nyou did not.\nSincerely,\nH. R. Haldeman\nHRH:efo\ncc: P. M. Flanigan\n5/16/60\nH.R.H.\nc/s\nMay 16, 1960\nTO: P. M.

This\nwill be a workshop session on campaign techniques and\nNixon's stand on issues, etc. It will include both the\nVolunteer groups and Party people.

Haldeman\nI had a telephone call yesterday from Sem Krupnick and among other\nthings he reported that the Susskind telecast had created all kinds\nof favomble reaction in St. Louis in spite of the fact that the show\nhasn't even run out there. Apparently a number of people have heard\nabout it from their friends or contacts in New York or Washington and\nhave been very much impressed.\nSam himself had a phone call from a friend of his in New York who is\nthe strongest anti-Nixon man he knows, according to Sam, who said he\nhad called Krupnick just to apologize for some of the nasty comments\nhe had made about Nixon. Sam says this guy is a veryknowledgable and\nsavvy person and he, Krupnick was quite impressed with the fact that\nthis guy had reacted so favorably to the telecast.\nSam's other point was that he felt it was very important that some\nwork be done on the Bela Kornitzer book which he thinks supplies the\nmissing link in the material available on Nixon. He feels it should\nbe syndicated and an all-out effort should be made to build sales and\ndistribution of the book. This might be a project you want to turn\nover to Krupnick since I'm not sure what, in general, is being done\non it at this point. He seems to have a great interest in getting\nsomething done.\nAlso, as you obviously know, he is vitally concerned with the St.\nLouis trip and is having a meeting this afternoon for example, to\nstart working on publicity for the Jewish Community Center part of\nthe visit. I think we should get our plans for St. Louis laid out\nas soon as we can least in general so that we don't hold Krup-\nnick up any longer than is necessary. I think that any delay will\nbe a problem as far as Sam is concerned.\n5/20/60\nH.R.H.\nc/s\nMay 20, 1960\nMr. Robert Ogden\nR. J.

Haldeman\nRE: Noble Travis\nAs I wrote you earlier, Noble Travis, the Public Relations\nDirector of Michigan Consolidated Gas, is coming to Washington\nagain on June 6 and 7. You will recall he was here a while\nback and had requested an audience with the Vice President\nat that time or on this trip.\nMy recommendation is still that he not see the Vice President.\nI would suggest that it would be a good idea for either MeWhorter\nor McCaffrey to give him some time, however.\nI will ask Travis to write you requesting time with the Vice\nPresident and you can send him the standard form referring\nhim to MeWhorter or McCaffrey, if you will, please.\nI have mentioned this to McWhorter and to McCaffrey so which-\never of them ends up with him has a brief background on the\nsituation but Charlie suggested it would be a good idea to\nhave something in writing on the request.\nMay 24, 1960\nTO: Bob Finch\nFROM: H. R.

H.\nC\nS\nMay 24, 1960\nMr. Peter Lint, Jr.\nP. 0. Box 1318\nGrand Central Station\nNew York 17, New York\nDear Mr. Lint:\nPat Gorman of the Disk Nixon Club has told me of your\nwonderful interest in seeing that Dick Nixon becomes the\nnext President of the United States. Needless to say, we\nshare this feeling with you.\nWe were very much interested in the list of names which\nyou sent along as potential members of the Dick Nixon Club\nand I am sure that Pat Gorman and his group will follow\nthrough on them.\nI would like very much to shat with you briefly about the\ncampaign and the possibility of your providing additional\nnames for us. Unfortunately, I have only your Post Office\nBox Number. If it is at all possible, I would very much\nappreciate your giving me a call at your earliest conven-\nience so that we might chat briefly over the phone and\npossibly arrange an opportunity to get together.\nYou can reach me during the day in Washington at EXecutive\n3-7640. Please feel free to call collect. I am looking\nforward to talking with you.\nSincerely,\nH. R. Haldeman\nHRHtefe\n5/24/60\nH. R. H.\nC / S\nMay 24, 1960\nMr. Doug Wheeler\n329 Dunham Dorm\nHamilton College\nClinton, New York\nDear Doug:\nThank you very much for your recent letter. You are\nright in assuming that my lack of correspondence has\nbeen due to the fact that I've been out running around\nthe country.\nI'm afraid I can't give you much constructive hope as\nfar as plans for the Convention are concerned. It looks\nat this point as though we will be taking a very small\nstaff to the Convention and it will be limited to those\nof our permanent staff who can perform an actual function\nduring the Convention.\nI am not sure at this point whether there is going to be\nanything that you could do here in Washington or in any\nof our other Headquarters during the summer period. The\nproblem, as you recognize, is the one of trying to bring\nyou in for just a short period of time during the summer\nand having you return to school just as the campaign\nreally gets underway.\nI would suggest, however, that you continue to keep in\ntouch from time to time, and I assure you that if, as\nand when anything comes up I will let you know.\nI enjoyed very much the letter you enclosed with your\nletter. Your pal obviously has quite a sense of humor.\nGive my best to your dad.\nSincerely,\nH.R. Haldeman\nHRH:efe\n5/24/60\nH. R. H.\nC / S\nMay 24, 1960\nTO: Loie Gaunt\nFROM: Bob Haldeman\nRE: New York Trip - Names\nI'm not sure how many of the following names Don may have already\ngiven you or which might have been covered on lists which have\ncome in directly from the cities concerned but I'll cover them\nhere just in case:\n1) Kevin Cox\nRepublican Party County Headquarters\nEllicott Square Building, Buffalo, New York\nHe is Executive Secretary of the County Committee and\nhandled all the details on the over-all arrangements for Buffalo,\nincluding the preparing of the list of names which is supposed\nto be coming directly to you. I assume the name list will in-\nclude Senator Cooke who is the County Chairman and was in over-\nall charge.\n2) Edward P. Mattar\nP. O. Box 186, Niagara Square Station\nBuffalo, 2, New York\nHe should be thanked for his part in organizing the\nCollege group from the University of Buffalo who came out to\ngreet the Vice President at the Airport. The letter should\nsay that the Vice President was sorry his schedule did not permit\nhim to visit the campus while he was there which Mattar had re-\nquested that he do.\n3) Richard Sullivan\n401 Plymouth Drive,\nSyracuse, New York\nHe should be thanked for organizing the group at Syracuse\nUniversity who came out to greet the Vice President at the\nAirport.\n4) William Petty, Mgr.\nAuburn Inn,\nAuburn, New York\nHe should be thanked for the courtesy of the use of his\nHotel facilities. I assume the name Everett Dungey will be on\nBob White's list of names which he is sending you as well as\nWhite's name too in connection with the Taber Dinner.\n- 2 -\nI assume that Hughes gave you the name of Alexander Jones who was\nthe one who put together the breakfast in Syracuse. The host at\nthe breakfast was Stephen Rogers who is the publisher of the Syracuse\nHerald-Journal.\nThe manager of the Statler Hotel in Buffalo is Mr. Thurston and the\nmanager of the Hotel Syracuse is Mr. Wilder, in case you don't already\nhave those names.\nThe letter for the A.M.E. Zion thing should go to Bishop Walls. I\nhave no address on him nor no file on him, but I think that Hughes\ndoes, if you don't already have it.\nSeveral of Pete Flanigants Nixon Volunteer guys worked on getting\ngroups out to the Airport. I think it would probably be a good\nidea to send letters to them. As a matter of fact, Ray Blair at\nSyracuse was included in the list that the Party people are sending\nyou. The fellow in Buffalo is Dick Michaels and he actually is in\nover-all charge of both Syracuse and Buffalo for this Volunteer\noperation and Blair worked under him in Syracuse.\nDick Michaels' address is 266 Pearl Street, Buffalo, New York. His\nfull name is Richard W. Michaels.\n5/25/60\nH. R.
