Mr. Maurice H. Stans
Southern California Finance Chairman
Nixon for Governor Campaign
600 South Spring Street, 13th Floor
Los Angeles 13, California
Dear Maury:
Preliminary to the breakfast meeting on September 19th,
with all the county division campaign chairmen and finance
chairmen, it seemed to me that it might be worthwhile to set
out in writing my understanding of our finance approach in
Los Angeles County.
Our fund raising goal in the County is $650,000. Of
this total amount, $250,000 is to come from URFC: $200,000
from the October 8th dinner; and $200,000 from direct (1.e.,
earmarked) contributions. 1 would assume that any funds con-
tributed from the several divisions to help underwrite our
statewide promotional costs should be regarded as direct
contributions.
As you know, the County has been arbitrarily divided
into seven divisions. A campaign chairman or co-chairmen has
been appointed by Ched for each division and these chairmen in
turn have appointed division finance chairmen. See the attached
sheet for specific names.
Stated policy as to our many community committees is
that we expect every community Nixon organization to raise the
funds locally that are necessary to underwrite the local Nixon
campaign. No formal request has been made to date of these
community organizations for financial assistance in our state-
wide program.
Sometime back, it was decided at one of our Friday
meetings to have division finance chairmen appointed in order
that individual community committees within the several divisions
could obtain needed help in learning the proper fund-raising
approach. Also, it was thought that perhaps some assistance
Mr. Maurice H. Stans
September 18, 1962
Page 2.
could be arranged whereby some of the poorer communities could
get nominal help from the wealthier communities in the same
division (c.g., rent for headquarters, materials, etc.).
It seems to me that we may be able to determine upon
reasonable financial commitments from most of the divisions.
And that such should be geared to the income levels of the
communities located within the several divisions. For example,
the Eastern Division which contains San Marino, Pasadena, etc.,
should be expected to come up with a higher commitment figure
than most of the other divisions in the County.
So, in summary, we look to our division finance chairmen
to: (a) educate their community finance chairmen as to ways and
means of raising funds; (b) coordinate financial assistance from
one community to another in the division; and (c) establish
negotiated "lair share" quotas for contributions to be made by
the communities to help underwrite part of the statewide budget.
You have earlier received a letter from Chad McClellan
wherein he specifically sets forth the commitment amounts pledged
by our campaign organizations in the ten (10) out-counties in the
Southern California area. I understand it is my responsibility
to make certain that we realize on these commitments. Also, I
understand that I will be advised in writing of any direct con-
tributions which are received from these areas which are to be
credited against the county's commitment amount.
Very truly yours,
Herbert W. Kalmbach

FINANCE-CAMPAIGN LEADERSHIP MEETING
Tuesday, September 4, 1962
SUMMARY
1. Chad McClellan asked Maury Stans to phone F ank Thornton in
San Diego re their firm commitment.
2. Chad McClellan reported on recent Southern Counties tours and
strongly urged:
a. That local leadership be consulted about BN visits.
b.
That whether scheduling or finance problems, con-
taets should be coordinated with Herb Kalmbach.
C. That where possible, Pat Nixon or other speakers
should fill in for RN so that communities will not
be disappointed,
3. George Christopher's finance problems in Southern California
were discussed and Maury Stans agreed to help work out sat-
isfactory solutions, 1.e., appointment of Tom Knudsen as his
Finance Chairman and Bledging his a larger share of the Nixon-
Eisenhower dinner. Stans to talk the matter over with Herb
Baus and Bob Hornby and Art Dolan.
4. MHS planned to get together with San Francisco leadership re
Paul Davies and their problems up there.
5. It was reported that Ross Barrett would come to Los Angeles
this week for planning re the State-wide dinners. He has been
to Sacramento and met with enthusiastic cooperation there.
6. Bob Haldeman to ask RN to contact three nominees for Los
Angeles dinner chairman: Justin Dart, Morris Pendleton
and Bob Peynolds.
7. LQ was asked to hold 18 publicity on the URFC dinners (or
eliminate listing of committee members) pending a discussion
by MHS with Hal Ramser re personnel of the General Advisory
Committee.
8. Bob Finch gave a report on the local URFC situation.
9. Rod Rood gave a run-down on his Eastern trip, i.e., Cliff
Folger in Washington has accepted the responsibility for
40 contacts. The Flanigans in New York, 100 contacts, and
the responsibility for contacts in Chicago would be shared
by Chuck Percy, Jim Worthy and Jim Douglas.
Rod Rood felt it would be helpful 1f MHS followed up the
Eastern contacts on his projected visit to New York.
- 2 -
Jim Kirk 18 to submit a written report on his activities.
It was suggested that Sinclair Weeks and Tom Pappas would
undoubtedly be interested in helping in Boston.
The vital importance of getting out a national mailing was
agreed to by this Committee and our Eastern friends and MHS
is to present the matter to RN.
10. Bob Haldeman reviewed recent poll results, noting RN's strong-
hold on the Republican votes and the potentials for capturing
up to 32% of the Democrat votes. However, he expressed great
concern that Brown would be spending two to three times our
projected budget. He felt strongly that the Nixon advertising
budget should be increased and he pointed out that it would
be necessary to make these decisions relatively soon so that
commitments for time and space could be secured.
HINH promised to furnish these figures to Stans, who suggested
that Haldeman's request be given further study and considera-
tion.
11. Rod Rood agreed to ask Charley Jones to make a solicitation
of Floyd Odlum. He also suggested that Dr. Armand Hammer,
president of Occidental Fetroleum, be solicited and perhaps
drawn into the campaign as a Democrat for Mixon.

I understand through my mother, who had a
conversation with Earl Jorgensen at dinner the other
evening, that he is now ready to back RN.
He will, of course, make a substantial financial
contribution, but according to mother, should receive
some special recognition. I think this is one you
should handle personally, or have someone of comparable
stature make the contact since, as you know,
Jorgensen was pretty much opposed to us until just
recently.
Incidentally, the change of heart came about as the
result of one of RN's receptions which he attended.
Mr. Maurice Stans

Mr. Bob Haldeman
May I have the names of the 10 to 15 people
you consider to be the key members of our finance organization
for both Southern and Northern California?
RN is going to try to make telephone calls
to these key people throughout the campaign; I should, therefore,
have the office and home phone numbers for each person.
Would you also please list these in order of
priority so that we can be sure the most important ones are
covered first and most frequently?
Many thanks.

RELEASE
FOR GOVERNOR
State Headquarters: 3908 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles 5, California; DU 5-9161
Pat Brown said to the Union convention in reference to Richard Nixon:
"You have read in the newspapers that another candidate for Governor of
California is approaching labor through the "back door" this year.
"He is afraid to come to you openly and honestly to ask for your support."
*****
Richard Nixon made the following statement regarding Brown's charge:
"Mr. Brown's charge that I am afraid to speak before the AFL-CIO convention
is a complete misrepresentation. The truth is that I did not receive an invitation
to address the convention. It is significant to note that the-only gubernatorial
candidate invited to address the convention was Mr. Brown who has been B rubber
stamp for everything the union political bosses want--right or wrong.
"The political bosses of the union have dropped an iron curtain to prevent
union members from hearing any views except those held by the clique controlling the
politics of the union. But they are going to find in this election, as they have on
every previous occasion when I have come before the voters in California, that they
cannot dictate to union members how they will vote. I shall continue to take my
case over their heads directly to union members in my person-to-person campaigning.
"California's wage earners are not fooled by Mr. Brown's campaign slogan "keep
California first." They are deeply concerned that California is first in unemploy-
ment in the nation. They know that California needs dynamic new leadership which
will attract, rather than drive away, the new investment we need to provide more
jobs for California's increasing population."

Re:
Research Program
The financial arrangements with respect to the program of the State Committee
to provide services to all the state-wide candidates are as follows:
1. Registration. The State Committee organization will undertake an
aggressive registration program designed to follow up all efforts at
local levels. The approved budget for this program is $7600.00, to
be paid entirely out of State Committee funds and without support from
the candidates, directly or indirectly.
2. The State Committee will also provide a central research operation,
under the direction of Don Frey, and including the research staff of
the Nixon campaign. This arrangement is effective retroactive to July 1,
and will continue to November 15. The approved budget for this operation
at the present time is $54,000.00, which includes a news man capable of
giving immediate press stories upon request of any of the candidates,
based on research data.
The sum of $54,000.00 includes $10,000.00 for a general survey of
campaign issues and public attitudes. In addition to the approved amount
of $54,000.00, an additional contingent amount of $19,500.00 was recoge
nized, subject to expenditure only upon subsequent approval of the
budget group. The contingent items are as follows:
Additional survey
$10,000.00
Task forces
1,000.00
Investigator
4,500.00
Staff
4,000.00
A third item approved is a provision of $3,000.00 for one individual to
assist in disseminating and coordinating information regarding the schedules
1
-2-
of the various condidates. This includes estimated salary of $2,500.00,
and $500.00 postage.
The total of approved items is therefore $57,000.00, with another $19,500.00
a possibility. However, I personally doubt that the second survey for
$10,000.00 will be necessary.
The expenditures involved are agreed to be financed between northern Calif-
ornia and southern California in the ratio of 40% and 60%. Thus the present
commitment for San Francisco is $22,800.00, and for Los Angeles $34,200.00.
The San Francisco people have agreed to advance $10,000.00 early in August
to pay for the cost of the first survey. The Southern California Nixon for
Governor Committee has agreed to advance up to $10,000.00 at this time to
meet payrolls and current costs, this to be repaid by the State Committee
when funds are available from the respective county organizations in San
Francisco and Los Angeles.
The statewide candidates, including Kuchel, have all agreed that the money
spent for this central activity is to come pro rata "off the top" from the
allocations to them by the San Francisco and Los Angeles County Finance
Committees.
Sincerely,
many

You asked me to check on whether our
mailing house, Dean Borton Associates, could bill a
contributor direct for $5,000. This has been arranged,
and if you will let me know how the bill should be
directed and for what amount, I will set the wheels in
motion.

A person recently back from Washington tells me that Bart Lytton
is spending a lot of time there, has withdrawn his financial
support from Brown and has set up a campaign fund for Congressional
condidates only. If our Finance Chairman hasn't heard this rumor,
I thought perhaps he would be interested in it.

Expense Reports
The original procedure for my expenses was to submit them to
Ed Valentine for OK before going to the Treasurer for
reimbursement. In accordance with our understanding, I am
not submitting them to you, as Finance Chairman, for your
approval.

In a telephone conversation February 26th with
Ed Valentine, Henry Clock agreed to serve as a Vice Chairman
of the Finance Committee.
He asked to be advised as to the campaign plans for
the Long Beach area. He is especially anxious to know what financial
expenditures will be required of them for headquarters, staff, local
promotion etc.
will you please be sure that Mr. Cleck gets a complete
run-down?

Nixon for Governor Finance Committee
c/o Western Bencorporation
600 S. Spring Street
Los Angeles 14, California
Dear Maurie:
Apparently I erred in including
Herbert Hoover, Jr.'s name on the
Finance Committee of N.xon for Governor.
Mr. Hoover requested on February 19, in
a telephone call to me, that his name be
deleted. He stated that he is whole-
heartedly for Nixon and will support him.
As he is not in a position to actively
work on the Committe, he feels that in
justice he should not be on it.
I believe it would be well not to
make an issue of this matter, but merely
to drop his name from all future lists.
The Finance Committee letterhead has not
been prepared, and therefore his name will
not appear. All in all, there is no
damage done.
With my kindest regards,
Sincerely yours,
Sd

Potential Donor
cc: Mrs. Pat Hitt
Mr. E. R. Valentine
Pat Hitt called to advise us of a potential donor who should be contacted
as quickly as possible by one of the top level people on the Finance
Committee. The prospect is:
Mr. C. H. Wentworth
1700 East Olympic Boulevard
MA - 3-8104
WE - 6-1911 (home)
Mr. Wentworth is head of the Flexo Manufacturing Co., is about 80 years
old, has a great deal of money and is ready to make a donation to the
Nixon campaign when approached.
Mr. Wentworth was referred to Mrs. Hitt by Mr. Roy Butler, formerly
of Whittier, who now lives in Humboldt County. Mr. Butler's name
should be used in making the contact.
I would appreciate having the result of this solicitation since Mr. Butler
has asked to be advised so that he can follow through with Wentworth
"if he doesn't give enough". He is apparently prepared to give at least
several thousand dollars.
