SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA
TO:
Governor Edmund G. Brown
FROM:
Cyril Magnin and Garret McEnerney II
In the present campaign it seems to us, Pat, that a great
and untapped resource is available to help fight the good
fight.
We're referring to the thousands of personal
friends you've made over your many years of public service
in California.
We think that these are people who would willingly come to
the colors. Many of them, after all, are your co-workers
for better government; many have served agencies that you
created to improve life in California: all like and respect
you.
We propose to form a new organization to give these people
a voice if they feel that one has not yet been raised for
them. We want them to say with us, "We're for Pat Brown
for Governor" -- and we mean all of them, people in every
business, profession, and political party, because you have
friends in every business, profession, and party.
What we do in this organization might change the election.
We want to start working now on the Citizens for Brown.
What do you think?
Best wishes,
zq: CM/GMII

CO-CHAIRMEN: CYRIL MAGNIN GARRET McENERNEY II EARL WARREN, JR. ROBERT A. EATON
CO-ORDINATOR: JEFFERSON A. BEAVER
Dear Friend:
This is an invitation to help us form a new and tremendously
important group of Governor Brown's friends, supporters, and
associates. The Governor has endorsed it completely and has
given us his personal list of friends, which is why we are
writing to you.
You probably are working hard for Pat Brown's re-election, but
we are inviting you now to make that extra effort that every
great victory requires--and ours will be a great victory! Here
are the goals:
Our group--Citizens for Brown--needs organizers. First, we
want to count your name among the founders of Citizens for
Brown. Second, we need your list of at least ten others who,
to your personal knowledge, will join in this extra effort of
Pat Brown's campaign for re-election.
Before November we want Citizens for Brown to have contacted
every Californian who might support the Governor. Your help
could bring 10 to 100 fence straddlers into the right decision
on election day. We urgently need it now. Please return your
card, which is enclosed, direct to the Governor. We'll write
you again after he has given it to us.
Sincerely, Cyril Magnin

AGRICULTURE
'How has California agriculture fared under Governor Brown's
administration?
The answer: Farm income in first three years in excess of
$3 billion, another $3 billion year predicted for 1962. California
ranks first in the nation in farm income, first in agricultural
foreign exports.
Here are highlights of the accomplishments of Governor Brown
in agriculture:
--Secured the $1.75 billion State Water Project which will
add billions to farm income in years ahead.
--Strengthened state's self-help marketing programs.
--Helped secure federal wine grape marketing order, resulting
in millions of dollars of added income to growers and processors.
--Supports measures to protect California specialty crops in
tariff bargaining with Common Market.
--Appointed agricultural committee on World Trade Authority
to promote exports.
--Sponsored bill in 1962 Legislature to establish foreign
agricultural trade attaches. Measure defeated by Republican
minority in Assembly.
--Authorized emergency expenditures for fight against Japanese
beetle and Oriental fruit fly.
--Endorsed legislation to fight starlings.
--Supports federal minimum wage for agricultural workers.
--Created Agricultural Labor Commission to study farm labor
problems.
--Secured federal aid for pear disease research.
-Strengthened Milk Stabilization Law.

CALIFORNIA'S BUSINESS CLIMATE AND ECONOMY
Business Week, the nation's most respected business magazine,
last year asked U. S. business executives their preferences for
location of new plants.
California was far and away first choice. with 35 per cent of
all mentions and 14 per cent of first choices. New York was second
with 9 per cent of the total mentions.
Fortune magazine lists 36 California companies among the
nation's 500 largest industrial corporations. California is the
leading state in exports, first in agriculture, first in defense
contracts. In the period 1950-60, business units paying unemployment
insurance increased by 76,000 and retail sales outlets by 64,000, an
indication of the enormous economic growth in California.
These economic indicators tell the same story:
New plants and expansions, first six months. 1962: $600 million
-1962 construction estimate: $7.3 billion
--Retail sales, 1961: $24 billion, up 22 per cent over 1958
Farm income estimate, 1962: $3 billion plus
Bank deposits year end, 1961: $27 billion, up 19 per cent over
1958
Personal income, 1961: $46 billion, a record
Defense contracts, 1961: $5.2 billion, 24 per cent of
national total
--Taxable corporate profits in 1961: up 40 per cent over 1958
Employment, end of first 7 months, 1962: 6.4 million, a record
Electrical production, 1961: up 36 per cent over 1958
New corporations, first six months, 1962: 8,674, 8 per cent
over 1961
-216,000 new homes planned for 1962
No. 3
CONSUMER COUNSEL
California is the only state in the nation with a full-time
Consumer Counsel. In asking his first Legislature in 1959 to
establish the office, Governor Brown said:
"We are all consumers, yet we have never been able to speak
in a single voice because we are disorganized and our needs are so
diverse."
Mrs. Helen Ewing Nelson, California's Consumer Counsel, is the
voice of the consumer. These are the highlights of the program she
has developed, backed up by Governor Brown and the Legislature:
--Exposed "living room racketeers" who used "referral selling"
technique.
--Conducted series of statewide consumer fraud institutes, for
training local law enforcement officers.
--Sponsored sales tax reform legislation to stop overcharging
and promote uniform collection procedures.
--Sponsored law exempting prescription drugs from state sales
tax, saving consumers several million dollars.
--Sponsored law requiring medical plans to detail benefits on
policies.
--Supported consumer fights on "watered ham," lamb grading,
use of antibiotics in poultry, short weights, cosmetics and
hazardous food additives.
--Provides information services for consumers through booklets,
press releases and radio and television performances.

EDUCATION
"I am dedicated to the principle that education is the life blood of democracy
and that my Administration shall provide the finest schools in the nation and
a chance for every deserving student to go to college. 11
--Governor Pat Brown
Governor Brown has fulfilled that pledge. Today 42 cents of every revenue
dollar is allocated for education - -- $1. 3 billion in the 1962-63 state budget.
And our education program has been spectacularly successful. We have
448. 000 college and university students. By comparison, New York, with a
population equal to ours, has only 350, 000 students. And two-thirds of our
colleges are free, while only one-third are free in New York.
This is what Governor Brown's administration has accomplished:
--The first Master Plan for Higher Education, coordinating and planning
for junior and state colleges and university.
--Six new state colleges and three new university campuses under con-
struction or planned.
--100 percent increase in state scholarships. Currently scheduled: a
$2. 5 million program for 3, 840 college scholarships.
--Statewide testing program in elementary and high schools to insure
uniform high standards.
--Half-day sessions reduced by 59 per cent.
--Stronger curriculum, with more emphasis on basic subjects--English,
reading, math and science, less on frills.
--Strengthening of teacher credential program to upgrade teaching in all
schools.
--Foreign languages to be taught in sixth grades by 1965.
--Planning underway for television teaching in classrooms.
--A $26 million increase in aid to local school districts.
--A $24 million-a-year increase for school construction.
--Realistic planning to provide 6, 000 teachers and 6, 000 classrooms for
200, 000 new students every year.
--A new program for gifted children.
--Salaries for college teachers raised by 12. 5 per cent.
FISCAL RESPONSHBILITY
No. 5
"Every part of the state I've seen looks to be in wonderfully
good shape. It makes me feel good to see the way the State of
California is moving ahead, not only in private industry, but in
government.
Supreme Court Justice Earl Warren, January, 1962
In seven of the 10 years preceding Governor Brown's election in
1953, state expenditures exceeded income. The state faced an immediate
$68 million budget deficit and the prospect of a $268 million deficit
at the end of the first fiscal year of his administration.
Governor Brown quickly moved to correct the imbalance. He asked
the Legislature to approve new collection dates for insurance revenues;
a broad tax reform program was instituted, and a rigid savings program
was enforced.
The result: a balanced budget in 1959-60. And the budget has
remained soundly in balance ever since. Following are highlights of
Governor Brown's fiscal record:
Four balanced budgets, the last three without a tax increase.
Budget savings averaging $27 million a year, compared with
about $15 million annual savings in the two preceding administration.
$10 million tax reduction in 1961.
-Introduction of competitive bond sales, saving taxpayers
millions of dollars in interest payments.
--Elimination of nine unneeded SI cial funds.
$65 million earned through investment of idle funds.
Governor Brown's program of balanced budgets, tax reforms, rigid
economies and budget savings has produced results. Look at these:
--On the basis of $100 of personal income, California has the
lowest net bond debt among nine comparable industrial states and ranks
37th in the nation.
-California ranks 27th among the states in tax rate per $100
of personal income.
--In the last 10 years, the national tax rate per $100 of
personal income has gone up 20 per cent, but only 5 per cent in
California.
Interest rates on state bonds are at the lowest point since
state budget surpluses of the postwar years disappeared.
First tax reform program in 25 years.

No. 6
FREEWAYS, TRAFFIC SAFETY
"California is the leading state in construction of modern
toll-free multi-lane freeways and expressways. This achievement is
directly due to a combination of farsighted legislation, sound long-
range planning, and the finest brand of engineering skill on the part
of the Division of Highways.
--Governor Edmund G. Brown
In July of this year California completed its 1,000th mile of
multi-lane full freeway.
The entire highway system now includes a total of 2,425 miles of
multi-lane, divided highways.
Highway construction, traffic safety, smog control -- these have
been the backbone of the Governor's program to provide the finest and
safest highway system in the nation.
Highlights of that program:
--A pay-as-we-go, 20-year, 12,000-mile, $10.5 billion freeway
development plan.
--300 miles of full freeway constructed in last 3 years.
--Another 400 miles under construction.
--6,200 miles of freeway routes already adopted.
--This state's first legislation controlling auto engine exhaust
-- a major source of smog.
--Mandatory jail sentences for repeat offenders who drive with
suspended licenses.
--Enlargement of California Highway Patrol.
--Uniform long-term dirvers' licenses.
--Tougher penalties for drunk driving.
--New law requiring manufacturers to provide seat belt anchors
in all new cars.
-$100,000 traffic safety research program.
--Another $175,000 Safety Research Program underway at UCLA on
grant from federal government.
-Emergency communication system for freeways under development.
-Experimental traffic control from aircraft.
***
No. 7
NARCOTICS ENFORCEMENT
Testifying before a U. S. Senate subcommittee investigating
narcotics and dangerous drugs in the nation, Governor Brown last
August 7 said:
"In the last four years we have removed hundreds of peddlers and
thousands of addicts from the streets of this state. Just since last
September, in the new addict-commitment program alone, 900 addicts
have been removed from society. And this has been possible because
California now has the most comprehensive narcotics enforcement
program in the nation. "
Following are highlights of that program:
--In 1959, initiated the first chemical testing program to find
parolees who were using narcotics again.
--In 1960, appointed Special Study Commission on Narcotics.
--Sponsored Regan-Dills law increasing penalties against peddlers;
peddlers with two prior convictions now must serve 15 years in prison
before they can be released.
--Addicts now can be committed, under civil procedures, to
institutions for rehabilitation for from six months to five years.
--No paroles for addicts until rehabilitated; three year super-
vision on parole.
--New addict correctional institution for 2400 addicts under
development at Corona in Riverside County.
--Increased budget and staff of State Anti-Narcotic Squad.
--All narcotic offenders now required to register with police.

No. 8
CALIFORNIA WATER PROJECT
Upon voters' approval of the $1. 75 billion bond issue in November,
1960, California began a 30-year program to assure adequate water,
flood control, and conservation for the booming population yet to come.
Governor Brown united the legislature, labor, agriculture and business,
bringing together for the first time North South interests.
--Northern California has 98% of state's water supply.
--Southern California has 60% of state's population.
--More than 77% of state's water demand comes from south of
the Tehachapis.

No. 9
PARKS AND RECREATION
Under Governor Brown's leadership, California is preparing to
meet the challenge of ballooning population and accompanying strain
on recreation facilities through implementation of the California Out-
door Recreation Plan, a five-year program to acquire and construct
$150 million in new recreation facilities. This plan would:
-Establish about 14, 000 additional campsites.
-Purchase ocean frontage and acquire access to beaches.
--Increase picnic and day use facilities.
Already completed during the Brown administration:
--2, 694 new campsites built between January, 1959 and January,
1963.
--Acquisition of 17 additional parks, including Golden Gate State
Park, Point Reyes Seashore Area, McGrath Beach State Park, and others.

way, or approved.
--18 lakes and reservoir access projects completed, under way,
or approved.
--18 coastal access projects completed, under way, or approved.

months as opposed to 4, 011 provided in the previous 31 years.
The Brown administrati on has added 81, 716 acres of recreation
lands in 38 months: previous administration added only 53, 694 acres
in 51 months.
No. 10
SOCIAL INSURANCE
"It is part of our determination that in this administration, the needs and
desires of the people of California will always be paramount. "
-- Governor Pat Brown, July, 1959
Here are some results of that determination:
UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE
- - Maximum weekly unemployment benefits raised to $55, fifth highest in the
nation.
- Benefits in time of high employment extended to 39 weeks, equaled by only
four states.
- - Benefits extended to cover firms with only one employee.
- Persons on disability or job displacement re-training receive benefits.
- Benefits extended 13 weeks in last recession.
DISABILITY INSURANCE
-- Coverage broader than any other state.
- - Benefits as high as $70 per week. (New York pays $45)
- Hospital benefits of $12 per day for 20 days.
- Coverage extended to: farm workers (only state with such coverage);
volunteer firemen and policemen: while on duty, juveniles working fire camps;
"partially employed" commercial fishermen; non-citizens; employees of non-
profit tax exempt organizations.
- California is the only state without time and cost limits on medical care.
- Extensive disability re-training program, coupled with job displacement
retraining.
FINANCING
- -State disability fund replenished by increasing taxable wage base of $3600
to $5600, on graduated scale of increases.
- Six states have higher effective tax rates.
- Five states (major industrial states) have tax rates comparable to
California's.
Note: In areas of social insurance and social welfare, Re-
