INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Nixon for Governor
file
To:
Bob Haldeman
Date:
March 1, 1962
From:
Carol Arth
Subject:
ANTI-COMMUNISM VOTERS' LEAGUE
Distribution: Herb Kalmbach, John Kalmbach, Yvonne Smith, Charles Farrington,
Sammy, files.
For your information, a week from today, Thursday, March 8th,
former Congressman, Don Jackson, will hold a press conference
to announce the formation of the subject organization.
At present, the membership is primarily elected in Los Angeles
County. However, Don tells me that they plan to extend the
membership to cover the entire state with permanent and staffed
headquarters here in Los Angeles.
The League will immediately do a general mailing, seeking mem-
bers at a nominal membership fee. They do not plan to hold
"schools", seminars or large public meetings such as is being
done by some of the Anti-communism groups currently operating.
THE ADVISORY PANEL will consist of such responsible men as
Henry Duque, Willard Keith, and Henry Salvatori.
While the Leaguerwill not be a candidate-endorsing organiza-
tion as such, when its formation is announced next week, the
League will immediately forward to all California candidates
for public office the questionnaire containing 12 questions:
Among the questions asked will be how the candidate stands on
the continuation of the House Un-American Activities Committee,
the Senate Internal Security Sub-committee, the loyalty oath,
and related queries.
Don tells me that those cendidates who do not respond to the
questionnaire will be publicized and the League will then place
on public record any previous statements made by the candidate
which related to the questions.
I asked him if one of the questions would regard the FRANCIS
INITIATIVE. He said 'no' but that he plans to announce support
of the INITIATIVE at the press conference next week.
