CAMPAIGN NOW ENTERING THE HOME STRETCH!
We are now moving into the final weeks of the campaign and the steady
surge which has been building for our candidate will culminate in an
overwhelming victory on November 6th. however, in order to make this
prediction come true, it is necessary that we all make a continuing
100% effort in support of Dick Nixon's candidacy between now and
election day.
In these closing weeks, it is of the utmost importance that good com-
munications be maintained between the State Headquarters and the local
communities our several programs must be clearly understood and
vigorously pushed. To help accomplish this purpose, we will be mail-
ing a bi-weekly newsletter to all Nixon headquarters and division and
community chairmen in Los Angeles County beginning with this issue.
DEMOCRATS FOR NIXON
Democrats for Nixon State Headquarters opened last week at 641 South
Flower St., Los Angeles 17 (MA 7-0924) each division and community
chairman is reminded of his responsibility to relay to that address
the names of local Democrats who have been appointed as division and
community Democrats for Nixon Chairmen and that such information be
mailed to headquarters immediately together with lists of additional
Democrats who wish to join the Committee.
VICTORY SQUAD
This is of great importance
Each community chairman is expected to
furnish a minimum of 100 volunteers to the Los Angeles County Precinct
Organization's Victory Squad. Effective enlistment of these volunteers
will help insure a massive Republican vote on November 6th. Give the
names of these volunteers to your field representative and DO IT NOW.
For maximum effectiveness, these names should be turned in by
October 19.
Also, as a reminder, each Nixon headquarters is to be made available
as the local Victory Squad Headquarters on Election Day
each
- 2 -
Assembly District Victory Squad Chairman has been advised of this
policy position on the part of the Nixon organization and will be
contacting each of our headquarters in his area at an early date to
nail
down
the
necessary
details
it is suggested that if you do not het
hear from him within the next ten days that you should SO advise your
field representative who in turn will contact Victory Squad
Headquarters.
OPERATION TELEPHONE
Weekly reports on the Democrat and Decline to State Poll are pouring
in from Nixon for Governor Community Headquarters throughout the
county. ARE YOUR REPORTS AMONG THEM? The results are tabulated here
by community and division and are sent to Dick once a week. He wants
to know how it's going in your community. LET US KNOW. Once this
polling is completed, (and it has been in a number of areas) you will
be ready to phone every Republican, Friendly Democrat, and undecided
voter during the four-day Operation Telephone BLITZ immediately pre-
ceding Election Day (excluding Sunday).
"CHAT WITH PAT" COFFEE HOURS
Ten of these Coffee Hours in the County were attended by an average
of 500 women and a beautiful and gracious Pat Nixon. Pat had the
opportunity to talk informally with the guests and a "pitch" was made
for those attending to hold their own Precinct Coffee Hours to raise
money to buy phones; recruit volunteer telephoners for the Operation
Telephone BLITZ, and aid the Victory Squad effort by recruiting
Election Day workers. Pat called the Coffees a "great success and
was highly enthusiastic about the recruiting of volunteers.
UNDECIDED VOTER MAILING
Each community should decide no later than Tuesday, October 16th,
whether or not an undecided voter mailing should be made from the local
headquarters. If it is so decided, please give your field represen-
tative the quantity of the mailing and you will be furnished with a
letter from Dick Nixon and mailing envelope for each such voter not
later than October 22nd. It will then be your job to address the
envelopes with the names of undecided voters in your area, affix
postage, and make the mailing early in the week of October 29th.
One
suggestion if you plan to make an undecided voter mailing, you
may wish to begin having your volunteers address gummed labels which
can be pasted onto the envelopes when they are delivered to you from
State Headquarters.

DEMOCRAT MAILING
Each community should also decide not later than Tuesday, October 16th,
whether or not a mailing should be made to local registered Democrats.
If it is so decided, please give your field representative the quantity
of the mailing and you will be furnished with a self-mailer piece from
headquarters not later than October 22nd. It will then be your job to
address each self-mailer, affix postage, and make the mailing early in
the week of October 29th.
As suggested above with respect to an undecided voter mailing, you may
wish to begin having your volunteers address gummed labels which can
be pasted onto the self-mailing pieces when they are delivered to you
from State Headquarters. You are reminded that a self-mailer is a
folder which can be mailed without need for an envelope. The addres-
sing and stamping is done on the piece itself.
BUMPER STICKERS
Every community should understand the absolute necessity for having
bumper sticker teams organized and operating between now and Election
Day. Stickers, or "traveling billboards,' do much to build spirit
and signify the enthusiasm of the electorate for Dick Nixon's
candidacy.
Bumper sticker teams should be operating at all major shopping centers
and other large parking areas on Saturdays and other days in the week
when heavy traffic can be forecast. Shopping nights are ideal for
this program.
How about your Young Sports Fans for Nixon program? Is it coming along
in good shape? Get your youngsters instructed on this program.
Remember, you could see to it that the kids in your community get an
opportunity to participate and are thereby given a fair chance to win
tickets to the Rams-Lions football game in the Coliseum on November
4th. Deadline for total scoring is October 30th. Let's go!

ALL ABOARD THE WIN WITH NIXON SPECIAL!
Dick Nixon, entering the final stretch drive of his surging campaign,
shifted into "super high gear" this week. His plans include a 3-hour
telethon in Sacramento, 24 Win With Nixon rallies and a 35-hour whistle
stop train tour.
Today (Tuesday) he appears in Sacramento for the fifth in a series of
seven "no holds barred" telethons. On Wednesday, he goes to San
Francisco for a major address at noon, a 3:30 p.m. appearance at a
Nationalities reception, and a rally in Richmond at 8:00 p.m.
On Thursday, he will board the "Win With Nixon Special" in Santa Cruz
at 8:30 a.m. and embark on his 35-hour whistle stop train swing. From
Santa Cruz, the train will proceed southward making scheduled stops in
Watsonville, Salinas, King City, Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo, Santa
Maria, and Santa Barbara --- where he will make the only off-train
rally of the tour at the Santa Barbara High School.
The train will make its first stop on Friday morning at Pico Rivera at
9:00 a.m. and will then move on south stopping at Fullerton, Anaheim,
Orange, Santa Ana, San Juan Capistrano, Oceanside, Del Mar, and San
Diego at 3:45 p.m. And before calling it a day, the candidate will
travel to Riverside to attend another rally at 8:00 p.m.
Saturday, the candidate takes his "Programs for a Greater California"
campaign before four rallies in Los Angeles County and one in San
Bernardino. His schedule calls for appearances in Montrose at 10:30
a.m.; Glendale, 12 noon; Los Feliz District in Los Angeles, 1:30 p.m.;
Burbank, 3 p.m.; and San Bernardino, 3 p.m. at the Orange Show.
VICTORY SQUAD
We can't emphasize too strongly the importance of the Victory Squad
Program on Election Day. Each community chairman throughout Los
Angeles County is reminded of the urgent need to furnish not less than
100 volunteer names to his or her field representative immediately in
order that these people may be effectively placed in the Victory Squad
effort on November 6th.
NEW PRECINCT SHEETS
Precinct sheets listing all voters registered in Los Angeles County as
of September 13th, are now being received at Southern California
- 2 -
Headquarters. Your field representative is responsible for seeing to
it that these sheets are put into the hands of the proper person in
your division for quick distribution to community headquarters.
Your community Operation Telephone Chairman must plan now to have vol-
unteers on hand to enter the phone numbers of new registrants onto
these sheets so that these newly-registered voters will be called
during the four day Operation Telephone BLITZ. One word of caution:
please do not waste time transferring phone numbers from the old to the
new precinct sheets. Instead, the volunteers should place the new
sheets side-by-side with the old ones and then make a check mark on the
new sheets opposite the names of the new voters whose names do not
appear on the old sheets. The volunteers should then enter the phone
numbers of these newly-registered voters in the usual manner next to
their names. Another point to watch for -- the names of people who
appeared on the old sheets but not on the new should be crossed out.
They are no longer registered. When the BLITZ period begins on
Thursday, November 1st, the telephoners will call the telephone numbers
appearing on both the old and new sheets.
DEMOCRATS FOR NIXON
Our latest count shows that more than 300 Democrats for Nixon Community
Chairmen have been appointed and that 8700 Democrats have signed pledge
cards supporting Nixon for Governor. This is a good start. But we
need more -- lots more. Everyone is urged to give this activity top
priority in his or her area and supply additional names to the Democrats
for Nixon Committee, 641 South Flower, Los Angeles 17. DO THIS TODAY--
NOW!
ARTESIA-DAIRY VALLEY DOES GREAT JOB!
Congratulations to Bill Teunnisen, Community Co-Chairman of Artesia-
Dairy Valley! Bill and 43 of the youngsters in his area personally
put on 3500 bumper stickers the other Caturday. They worked from
noon until 7:00 p.m. Last week they hit it again and got out 2800
over the weekend. A great job, Bill. Each and every headquarters
should be spurred on to greater performance by this example of dedi-
cation, teamwork, and organizational ability.

400,000 VOTE VICTORY MARGIN PREDICTED
The Victory surge is on and is building! Eob Haldeman, statewide
campaign manager, has forecasted that Richard Nixon will win the
election on November 6th by a margin in excess of 400,000 votes. A
copy of the news release announcing Bob's prediction is enclosed for
your reading and posting.
CLEAR THE TRACK! HERE COMES THE WIN WITH NIXON SPECIAL.
Early reports from Santa Cruz indicate that a large and enthusiastic
crowd was on hand at the train station this morning to hear and cheer
Dick Nixon as he boarded the "Win With Nixon Special." Following a
highly successful rally, the campaign train departed on a 35-hour
whistle stop swing down the coast of California. The trip will end in
San Diego tomorrow afternoon at 3:00. The train is symbolic of the
gathering steam and drive of the Nixon campaign -- a stretch drive that
is certain to culminate in an overwhelming victory on November 6th.
VICTORY SQUAD
*
Each headquarters must take the responsibility for
recruiting not less than 100 victory squad workers
and 25 poll watchers to work on election day.
The principal method of recruiting these people
should be by telephone -- and this telephoning
should continue throughout the day and evening
('til 9 p.m.) to election day.
Ask every volunteer enlisted to recruit a friend.
Victory Squad cards should be filled out as you
enlist each volunteer -- and these cards should
then be mailed that day to victory squad head-
quarters.
Remember that the later the cards are received at
headquarters the less time there is to make certain
that the volunteers are effectively placed in the
program.

PRECINCT SHEETS
We are making every effort to get the precinct sheets out as rapidly

fine cooperation from the various communities throughout the County

in order of assembly district number and we currently have received
the sheets through the 52nd A.D. Be sure that you have your volun-

You are again urged to send in your Democrats for Nixon names to
Democrats for Nixon Headquarters, 641 South Flower, Los Angeles 17.
We are nearing the end of the campaign and every effort must be made

POLL SHOWS RICHARD NIXON LEADING IN THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES
Yesterday, October 22nd, the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner reported the
results of a Western Opinion Research Center public opinion poll on
the campaign. Following is the question and percentage result relative
to the gubernatorial race:
QUESTION -- If you were voting today, whom would you
support for governor of California?
ANSWER -- Richard Nixon, 47.1%. Pat Brown, 46.5%.
Other answers, 6.0%.
Needless to say, this poll result serves to verify and further con-
firm our soundings to the effect that Dick Nixon will win a great
victory on Election Day. However, in order for this prediction to
come true, it is necessary that we all make a continuing 100% effort
in support of Dick Nixon's candidacy between now and November 6th.
VICTORY SQUAD VOLUNTEERS -- LET'S GET 'EM SIGNED UP!
The most important task facing each community chairman for the balance
of the campaign is the job of enlisting victory squad workers. We
must have these workers in order to make sure that we get out the
Republican vote. Each headquarters is being asked to supply a mini-
mum of 100 victory squad workers -- this is only 20 workers per day
for 5 days which is hardly an impossible assignment.
Each one of our headquarters should have telephoners busy calling
Republicans in the local community to recruit victory squad workers.
It should be emphasized to those telephoning that they should:
1. Make it clear to each prospect that his services are needed
from 3 to 7 in the afternoon on election day to help get out
the Republican vote and that he can indicate the area in
which he wants to work.
2. Fill out the victory squad application cards as they enlist
the volunteer over the telephone. Do not mail the card to
the prospect. Instead, fill it out as he is recruited.
-more-
- 2 -
3. At the end of the day, collect and mail the cards directly
to the Victory Squad Headquarters at the address shown on
the face of the card. Mail in a sealed envelope "FIRST CLASS."
4. Code each card with the initial "N" on the upper right hand
corner and list your headquarters abbreviation.
Of course, everyone of our leadership group should plan to participate
in victory squad activity on election day. Each such person should
also fill out and mail a card to Victory Squad Headquarters.
Remember -- all of our activity over these many months doesn't mean
a thing if we fail to get out the vote on November 6th.

GIANT TELETHON SET FOR NOVEMBER 3RD
Dick Nixon will climax his campaign on Saturday evening, November 3rd, when he
appears on a 5-hour telethon before local television cameras.
The telecast is the last in a series of seven such television appearances conducted
on a regional basis throughout California over the past several weeks.
The telethon will be shown on Station KTTV (Channel 11) from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
and from 10:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. Because of the tremendous demand at earlier tele-
thons, two additional hours were obtained at the peak viewing time in order that Dick
would have more time to answer questions.
In addition to being televised locally in Los Angeles, present plans include the tele-
vising of a portion of the telethon in San Diego and San Francisco and carrying the
program statewide over CBS radio.
This very important program should be talked up by everyone in the campaign. All
indications are that the show will have one of the largest viewing and listening
audiences in local and statewide TV history. Our efforts should now be aimed at in-
suring this result.
ELECTION DAY ACTIVITIES
On Election Day, the primary responsibility of the Nixon organization is to supple-
ment the efforts of the County's precinct and victory squad workers by means of an
efficient and effective telephone program.
Multiple copies of complete instructions for telephoning and poll checking on Election
Day have been mailed to each Nixon headquarters. Telephoners and poll checkers
should be recruited and everything put in order for a massive get-out-the-vote effort.
CAMPAIGN LITERATURE
You are again reminded of the need to make certain that every last piece of campaign
material is out of the office and into the hands of the voters before Election Day.
The investment in time and money that we have in this material is terrific. And we
should make every effort to get 100% distribution. Let's be certain of this!
ELECTION NIGHT VICTORY CELEBRATION
You and your friends are cordially invited to watch the election returns and share in
the victory celebration on Tuesday night at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, 9876 Wilshire

Telephone. The four-day Blitz period begins promptly at 9 a.m. on Thursday, November
1st, and ends at 9 p.m. on Monday, November 5th -- the day before we Win with Nixon.
During this period of intensive telephoning, thousands of Nixon volunteers will call
every registered Republican, and "friendly" Democrat and Decline-to-State voter in
Los Angeles County. Never before has this program been so completely and efficiently
organized. Now, let's get the job done!
LAST FEW DAYS TO RECRUIT VICTORY SQUAD WORKERS
Every community chairman and Nixon volunteer is urged to make every effort to recruit
additional victory squad workers for the Election Day get-out-the-vote program.
Nothing is of greater importance to our success on November 6th than a massive turn-
out of Republican voters to the polls. If we get such a turn-out together with a
substantial number of "friendly" Democrat and Decline-to-State votes, victory is
assured.
At this late date, it isn't possible to process cards. Instead, you are asked to
phone in names every day to Victory Squad Headquarters at MAdison 7-6881.
TALLY SHEETS NEEDED FOR YOUNG SPORTS FANS FOR NIXON
Each community chairman is asked to have his bumper sticker contest tally sheets
ready for a final count by Wednesday morning, October 31st. Winners of the contest

ENTHUSIASM BUILDING FOR NOVEMBER 3RD TELETHON
Great enthusiasm has greeted the announcement of the scheduled 5-hour Dick Nixon
telethon which will be shown in Los Angeles on Saturday night over Station KTTV
(Channel 11) from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and from 10:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. We know
that the viewing and listening audience who will tune in on this program will be the
largest such audience in the history of political campaigns. "Talk it up!"
DISTRIBUTION OF LITERATURE AND BUMPER STRIPS
Every effort should be made in each community to distribute every piece of campaign
literature and bumper strip before Election Day. No one has to be reminded of the
terrific investment in time and money that we have in this material. And, of course,
it has to be out of our offices and into the hands of the voters if we are to
realize on such investment.
So -- let's make sure that each headquar is emptied of every last bit of campaign

but in January made nine major speeches and many other campaign appearances and meetings
with Party workers and friends throughout the State More than 27 major dates are already
scheduled for February, plus a tour of Mother Lode country and big Chinatown parade. Major
emphasis throughout will be on direct person-to-person campaigning -- on sidewalks, in
factories, in shopping centers, and at civic receptions
Dick wants to meet personally
with as many Californians as possible!
NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN CAMPAIGN CHAIRMEN NAMED BY NIXON Dick Nixon has named San
Francisco attorney Andrew Downey Orrick as his Northern California Campaign Chairman
and Harold C. "Chad" McClellan as his Southern California Chairman. ORRICK, a Yale
and Hastings Law School graduate, was 1952 Chairman for Citizens for Eisenhower, and
a Director of Volunteers for Better Government. McCLELLAN, who headed the Nixon for
President Committee in Southern California in 1960, was appointed Assistant Secretary
of Commerce in 1955. He is outgoing President of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce.
McClellan gained fame in 1959 when he directed the American National Fair in Moscow,

Delegates to the California Democratic Council (CDC) met in Fresno recently to select

election were to be held today, Dick Nixon would
get 47.5% of the vote; Brown 28%; undecided 19.5%
and others 5%.
Harry Keaton, 36-year old Los Angeles attorney, voted President of the California Young

CARPETBAGGER OF THE MONTH
Minnesota's Senator Hubert Humphrey, in addressing
the California Democratic Council's recent Fresno
convention:
"All you have to do is push the button, place the
order, and we'll be out here to help you finish
the job started in 1960."

"FRANKIE AND JOHNNIE WERE SWEETHEARTS, THEY SWORE TO BE TRUE TO EACH OTHER, TRUE AS THE
STARS ABOVE"
Singing this tune last month at the Fresno CDC meeting were two men not
always known for being "true to each other" Pat Brown and one-time Democratic
National Committeeman Paul Ziffren. Avowed enemies (Brown dumped Ziffren in favor of
Attorney General Stanley Mosk when Ziffren refused to knuckle in to Brown's demand for
complete subservience) the pair were all a-giggle and smiles when Ziffren introduced
Brown to the CDCers. What happened to make Paul change his feelings toward Pat
and
vice versa? Watch future issues of this NEWSLETTER for further developments in the
Brown-Ziffren comic-tragedy.

FOR GOVERNOR
LETTER
April 1962
GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE GOLDEN STATE
In the first three and one-half months of 1962, Dick Nixon met, spoke to or shook hands
with over 150,000 Californians -- the goal: one million by November Sixth! This is
already a record; but SO is this entire campaign by the former Vice President
Never before in history have the voters of any state been given an opportunity to elect
as their Governor a man as well known or widely respected not only throughout the
Country but all over the world, as Dick Nixon. Californians can take unprecedented
pride in having him as our next Governor!
NIXON "GRASS ROOTS" SUPPORT TOPS IN CALIFORNIA
Latest count of the Californians pledging active support for Dick Nixon's campaign
for Governor tops the 40, 000 mark, according to tabulations of the "State-wide
Committee"
This is more than the total enrollment of California's Federated
Republican Women, or the enrollments of the State Young Republicans and the
Republican Assembly combined
At its present rate, this overwhelming ground
swell promises to field over 100,000 "grass roots" workers for the Nixon campaign.
STRAWS IN THE WIND
Dick Nixon leads his nearest contender in
the Republican Primary by more than 4 to 1,
the California Poll reported April 9.
Nixon's strength is about evenly divided in
Northern and Southern California, the Poll
also showed.
"SIX CRISES" SALES SKYROCKET
Although not officially on sale until March 29, the Nation's booksellers "jumped the gun"
because of the tremendous consumer demand for Dick Nixon's intimate account of his
vital role in six history-making events. In less than a week, 60,000 copies of the book
were sold and the publishers began a second printing. Autograph sessions at department
stores in both North and South broke all records with people standing in line for hours
Store managers were flabbergasted had never seen anything like it.
BIG CROWDS AND BIG ENTHUSIASM
Mark typical days in Dick Nixon's campaign for the Governorship
From early
morning to late evening, his person-to-person campaign schedule includes hand-
shaking, informal speeches, and visits with thousands of friends and supporters
1500 at a Newport Beach morning reception -- 2000 at an Anaheim luncheon 1500
at a Fullerton afternoon gathering
in one "Day in Orange County."
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA LEADERSHIP SEMINAR DRAWS NORTHLANDER'S PRAISE
Robert A. Hornby, longtime California civic and political leader, heaped praise upon
the Southern California campaign structure headed by "Chad" McClellan, following a
March 31 leadership seminar in Los Angeles for all Southern California County Chair-
men and Finance Chairmen
Hornby, a Northern California "observer" at the meet-
ing, took the rostrum to remind those in attendance that, while he is not one easily im-
pressed by political performances, he was compelled to state that "THE COMPLETE-
NESS AND ASSIGNMENTS OF YOUR ORGANIZATION ARE EXCEEDED ONLY BY THE
DETERMINATION AND FERVOR OF THOSE MANNING THE ORGANIZATION. On
such a foundation of mutual respect, the close campaign teamwork and coordination
needed for victory in all parts of the State is assured!
LARGEST AND SMALLEST HEADQUARTERS OPENINGS
More than 1000 supporters, plus representatives of 7 TV
and 5 radio stations, crowded into the State Headquarters
in Los Angeles on March 5 to see and hear the Candidate
A few days later a group of Nixon supporters, brav-
ing below-freezing weather and snow-clogged roads, opened
the Nixon for Governor Headquarters in tiny, remote Alpine
County.
NIXON SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA TEAM EXPANDS
Southern California Campaign Chairman "CHAD" McClellan has named four Vice-
Chairmen to assist him they are: STEVE BROIDY, President of Allied Artists
Pictures; MRS. VALLEY KNUDSEN, prominent civic leader; ROBERT L. MINCKLER,
retired President of the General Petroleum Corporation; and CRISPUS A. WRIGHT,
prominent Los Angeles attorney. "Dick Nixon's campaign will be strengthened by the
assistance of these outstanding community leaders, McClellan said. "Their desire to
work for the cause of good government is further assurance to the people of the State
that, AS OUR NEXT GOVERNOR, DICK NIXON WILL RETURN DECISIVE AND CON-
STRUCTIVE LEADERSHIP TO CALIFORNIA.
CALIFORNIA'S FARMERS CAN'T TAKE BROWN EITHER
That's why some of the State's most noted growers and ranchers have formed a
FARMERS FOR NIXON COMMITTEE. Yuba City peach grower J. L. Sullivan,
one of the group's co-chairmen, said: "We're tired of the consistently anti-farmer
attitude of the Brown administration
Dick Nixon can restore the kind of solid
leadership to Sacramento that we need. " Membership of the organization extends
across both party lines and represents all of California's vast farming interests,
from the beef ranges of Modoc County to the citrus groves of San Diego and
Imperial Counties
Headquarters of the group is at 1027 Eye Street, Modesto,
Phone: 523-1958.
DEMOCRATIC CHAIRMAN ORDERS BOYCOTT OF ANTI-COMMUNIST QUESTIONNAIRE
California Democrats and Republicans alike have been shocked by the brazen instruct-
ion of Eugene L. Wyman, Southern California Democratic Party Chairman and dutiful
errand boy of Governor Brown, for Democratic candidates to ignore the questionnaire
submitted by the Anti-Communist Voters League. By this action, candidates of his
Party are encouraged to deny to the voters essential information concerning their
attitudes on questions involving the loyalty oath, Congressional investigating committees,
the admission of Red China to the United Nations, and other issues pertinent to the deter-
mination of a responsible understanding of the Communist conspiracy. Every candidate
should follow Dick Nixon's example by responding unequivocally to this questionnaire.
To do otherwise is to commit a treacherous deception and disservice to the people of
California. Gov. Brown and Mr. Wyman are not contributing to the elevation of either
their own Party or the cause of good government by this kind of unconscionable pussy-
footing.
NIXON FOR GOVERNOR NORTHERN CALIFORNIA ORGANIZATION BOOMS
Northern California Campaign Chairman ANDREW DOWNEY ORRICK has announced add-
itional campaign appointments
San Francisco attorney JAMES W. HALLEY is Chair-
man of the Campaign Division
ROBERT H. STEELE of Wells Fargo Bank, has been
named Chairman of the Contact Division
RICHARD NAIR, an investment banker, is
Chairman of the Win Division
ART DOLAN of Blythe and Co., and PAUL DAVIES of
the Food Machinery Corp of San Jose, have been named Finance Co-Chairmen
Chairman Orrick says Dick Nixon's campaign is going "GREAT GUNS" in Northern
California
"DICK'S RECEPTION PLACE AFTER PLACE IN THE NORTH HAS BEEN
SHORT OF FANTASTIC WE'VE ALREADY APPOINTED 175 COMMUNITY CHAIRMEN
AND HAVE OPENED 24 FULL-TIME HEADQUARTERS," is Orrick's optimistic report.
"A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME"
Democratic pundits and henchmen of California's rubber-kneed Governor, Pat Brown
are worried by Dick Nixon's campaign
He's still talking and acting like the in-
credibly successful campaigner of the past 16 years and, SINCE THEY ONLY
HOLLER WHEN THEY HURT, it's fair to guess that he called the shots too close for
comfort when he dubbed the steady flow of administration flunkies, past and potential,
as "carpetbaggers."
People with memories longer than the end of their noses recall that Franklin
Roosevelt played the same partisan political game under the cloak of "inspection
trips"
But supporters of Dick Nixon aren't going to let the New Frontiersman
of the Potomac River have it SO easy in 1962. If Pat Brown insists upon being
"propped up" by an endless cavalcade of out of state Democrats, BOTH HE AND
THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO ANSWER DIRECTLY to the people of California
for what they are: imported "instant" starch to bolster the limp leadership of
California's present Governor.
Contrary to some reports, Dick Nixon has been consistently cautioning Californians
against the "carpetbagger" invasion ever since Minnesota Senator Hubert Humphrey
assured the California Democratic Council that "All you have to do is push the button,
place the order, and we will be out here to help you finish the job started in 1960.
On the other hand, Dick Nixon has very clearly and properly welcomed represent-
atives of the Administration to California when their presence is not motivated by
partisan political requirements. "We want them to enjoy our climate and scenery, 11
he said, "but we don't welcome those members of the Kennedy clan in the National
Administration who will have to help rescue Pat Brown in his bid for re-election.'
CARPETBAGGER OF THE MONTH
Attorney General Bobby Kennedy, the President's
brother, addressing inmates of the Federal Cor-
rectional Facility at Terminal Island:
"I wish you all the best of luck. When you come
out to the wide, wide world, sign for the Demo-
cratic Party."
CDC STILL A'FIGHTING AND A'FUSSING -- AND STILL DICTATORIAL
The California Democratic Council -- still shattered, despite PUBLIC reapproachment
between Governor Brown and one-time National Committeeman Paul Ziffren -- split its
splinters this month when Mayor John Stevenson of Fremont angrily bolted a CDC meeting
in San Jose in protest against a rigged CDC endorsement for Congress in the Ninth
District
Stevenson said the CDC convention was "NO LONGER REPRESENTATIVE
that he would run for the Congressional nomination without its endorsement
DICK NIXON TAKES STRONG STAND ON CALIFORNIA'S JUNIOR COLLEGE SYSTEM
A new chapter should be written into the Education Code to provide greater autonomy
for the State's 62 junior colleges
At present our junior colleges are neither "fish
nor fowl, " Candidate Nixon recently told a California Junior College Faculty Association
convention at Glendale College. Dick Nixon said the junior colleges "are trapped between
the administrative controls of local school districts
They are treated like 13th or
14th grades of public schools " Nixon called for leadership by the Governor and State
Board of Education; and the necessary legislation and follow-through by the Department
of Public Instruction and the local boards and districts
NIXON UPHOLDS UN-AMERICAN ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE
Further reminding his opponents of his capacity for vigorous anti-Communist in-
fighting, Dick Nixon lashed out strongly at current moves to abolish the House
Committee on Un-American Activities
A former member of this important
vanguard of the Nation's security, and co-author of the Mundt-Nixon bill, the major
features of which were subsequently incorporated in the "McCarran Act, Nixon
noted there are "right and wrong ways" to fight Communism at home, and said the
abolition of this Committee is a wrong way. "THE RIGHT WAYS ARE THROUGH
INVESTIGATIONS BY THE FBI AND VIGOROUS PROSECUTION OF COMMUNIST
PARTY MEMBERS UNDER THE SUBVERSIVE CONTROL ACT."
IMPORTANT NIXON FOR GOVERNOR STAFF APPOINTMENTS ANNOUNCED
Campaign Manager BOB HALDEMAN has announced the appointment of the following

ant to Senator Barry Goldwater, is Director of Public Relations

KALMBACH, who was Director of Personnel for Allstate Insurance Company, is Field
Director
SAMMY SAMMELMAN, 16 year professional political public relations
veteran, is Administrative Director in charge of State Headquarters operation and
distribution of all campaign literatur and materials.
BROWN REFUSES TO REPUDIATE LEFTIST YOUNG DEMOCRATS
Responsible members of both political parties in California have registered both
shock and dismay at Governor Brown's adamant refusal to repudiate
or even
discuss
the far-left and Communist-appeasing positions taken a few weeks ago
by the California Young Democratic Organization at its yearly Fresno meeting
The YD's went on record as being IN FAVOR OF U.S. RECOGNITION OF RED
CHINA, and as approving the ABOLITION OF THE HOUSE UN-AMERICAN ACT-
IVITIES COMMITTEE. THE YD'S ALSO ASKED FOR U.S. RECOGNITION OF
COMMUNIST CUBA, and the ABOLITION OF LOYALTY OATHS!
Why does Governor Brown refuse to take a stand on the views of these Young
Democrats who are his friends and supporters? Does he or does he not agree
with them? Is his silence based on political expediency or does he hold to these
same principles? Why does he refuse to answer?

FOR GOVERNOR
LETTER
LOS ANGELES TELETHON SCHEDULED FOR NOVEMBER 3RD
The last in a series of seven regional telethons has been scheduled for Saturday
night, November 3rd. On that date, Dick Nixon will climax his campaign with a
5-hour appearance before local television cameras. Because of the tremendous demand
on all previous telethons to give Dick more time to answer questions, an additional
two hours has been obtained at the peak viewing time.
The telecast will be shown on Channel 11-KTTV from 6:30 P.M. to 8:30 P.M. and from
10:00 P.M. to 1:00 A.M. In addition to being shown locally in Los Angeles on tele-
vision, present plans are to simulcast statewide over the CBS radio network.
This very important program should be talked up by everyone in the campaign. We
are certain that the show will have one of the largest viewing audiences in local
TV history. Our efforts should be aimed at insuring such a result. More on this
next week.
VICTORY SQUAD AGAIN --- LET'S GO!
We are much encouraged by the victory squad response of many of our community
chairmen and headquarters --- and because of this response our inventory of victory
squad cards have been building at a good rate. However, some of our chairmen and
headquarters have not performed at the level requested. Let's all go over the top
on this most important program.
Remember, each headquarters should have several telephoners busily engaged in
calling prospective volunteers. As volunteers are recruited, they should be signed
up over the telephone directly onto victory squad cards which have been provided.
As was said in the last Newsletter, if we don't turn out the vote on the 6th all of
our activity over these many months won't mean a thing.
Your field representative will be calling you often with the repeated request for
additional names. Please make certain that you do your part to insure a successful
victory squad effort.
BUMPER STICKERS
Let's all make certain that bumper sticker teams are organized and are out in force
this weekend at all shopping centers and other major parking areas in your community.
Our bumper sticker program must be pushed on all fronts right up to the day of
the election. Let's get 'em on!.
