George Milias called.
- just wanted to say result of phoning back and forth among our people
up north pulls the general reaction we should ignore Shell's blurbs --
and follow middle-of-the-road course; that Shell, by his activities, is
helping us.
- George said they are hearing all the time from Shell people -- that
this morning he had received two calls from hard core Shell people - URF --
and the gist of conversation is, "will you please tell Dick Nixon we want
nothing more to do with Shell?".
- George said they are inviting these people to serve on the Committee.
- the names he mentioned were Howard Brooks of Saratoga, Lee Rodgers of
Palo Alto, Woody Lynn of Los Gatos , Jim Neelus (spelling?) -- who wasn't
really a Shell person, but was a Knight man -- now 100% with us, however.
-- I told George how much you appreciated his keeping you posted, that you
had dropped him a note yesterday -- and would be calling him soon.

JUNE 14, 1962
FROM:
JACK GERMAIN,
PRESS SECRETARY
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Assemblyman Joseph C. Shell today issued the following
statement:
On Tuesday of this week I met in Sacramento with my Northern
California chairmen. Yesterday, Wednesday, June 13, I met in Los
Angeles with my Southern California chairmen.
Out of these two meetings certain definite conclusions
were reached which reflect the wishes of the more than 50,000
volunteers who took part in my campaign.
First, the organization will remain intact. It will work
to strenghen the Republican party just as it did during the primary
campaign-- bringing new people into active participation into party
affairs, and attracting thousands of disenchanted Democrats to the
GOP banner.
I have appointed a steering committee and also named staff
aides to determine the proper method of organization and the most
effective operational structure. These recommendations will then be
submitted to the some 140 area headquarters for suggestion, modifi-
cation and approval.
In all of the 58 counties in California, these men and
women will now devote their time and energies toward the election
of Republican congressmen and state legislators who support tradi-
tional party principles.
I want to emphasize that this group will work within the
party; that it is not, nor can it be construed, as a splinter group
or any third party movement, and that its guiding purpose is to set
forth those Republican principles which were the basis of my
campaign.
(MORE)
Second, I am waiting to meet with Mr. Nixon, at his con-
venience, as he requested last week. When he decides as to the time
and place I shall meet with him to work out an agreement which will
be in the best interests and unity of the Republican party.
At that time I shall present to Mr. Nixon what I consider
to be minimum conditions for a harmonious working relationship with
those Republicans who voted for me.
First, I believe that the over 700,000 Republicans who
voted for me deserve an equitable voice in party affairs. They
represent approximately 35 percent of those who cast their ballots
on June 5. They are entitled to 35 percent of the 1964 delegation
to the Republican National Convention. This proportion is essential
if the Republicans of this state are to have true representation at
that convention.
Second, I believe that it is essential to the fiscal stabil-
ity of California that we cut $200 million from the State budget as
it is presented this fall. This cut is mandatory if we are to
prevent an increase in taxes or an increase in State debt. I shall
be glad to point out to Mr. Nixon those areas of the budget where
such cuts can be made in keeping with needed economies and sound
government.
I believe these two represent a reasonable and constructive
position. These are certainly things which Mr. Nixon can accept to
help unify the Republican forces and which in my opinion must be
accepted to merit the support of those people who voted for me.
In the meantime I shall proceed immediately to do everything
I can to help with the election and re-election of Republican candi-
dates throughout our State.

Statement by John Krehbiel - Chairman of the Republican State Central Committee
The action of Joe Shell since his primary defeat is in my opinion doing
nothing more. than establishing him as the worst loser in the history of
California politics.
One would never expect a famous football player who was trained under one
of the greatest coaches who ever lived, Howard Jones, to display such poor
sportsmanship.
As a former captain of a USC Rose Bowl football team he should well know
that the second team under all circumstances gives all their support to the
first team.
The Republican Party conducted what can rightfully be called a free and
open primary - however, the primary ended June 5 - and the people chose the
first team at that time
Never in the history of our state has the Republican Party presented a better
team of candidates to the people. Each is qualified in his own right.
Dick Nixon for Governor: A man of national and international stature -- a leader
for a leading state.
George Christopher for Lt. Governor: Two times elected mayor of a great city, a
Democrat city in registration.
Tom Coakley for Attorney General: A distinguished judge who has presided on the
bench --by invitation -- in most of the counties of our state. Three years in the
Attorney General's office.
Bruce Reagan for Controller: More than a decade of experience in the legislature,
and the president of a large financial institution.
John Busterud for Treasurer: Outstanding legal legislative and military background
State's leading authority on constitutional reform
Frank M. Jordan for Secretary of State: Since 1942 he has done an outstanding
job in the office of Secretary of State.

I urge every Republican in this state to now direct their efforts to
defeating Governor Brown and his administration so this state can be assured
of responsible government in the future.
Reports from throughout the state indicate that the Republican Party
is rapidly moving into a spirit of unity following the primary and a few
hard core descenters, which are present in every group should not create
the opposite illusion to the public.

Dear Mary and Doug:
Your letter was a great disappointment to me,
needless to say. I had told Joe weeks ago that
you were going to support him, and I know he
will be equally chagrined over Mary, ******
&
Doug
's
decision to endorse Nixon. At least you will
have a chance to endorse Joe for the November
election because he is going to win next
Tuesday.
In any case, I appreciate the space you have
given to Joe in recent months, and I just hope
your endorsement of the opponent desn't cost
Joe too many votes.
With best, regardless.
Cordially,
Boon

You were such great Knight upporters for SO many
years, that I can't conceive why you would decide to
support Nixon. At any rate, I see by Paul Leake's
paper, the Woodland Democrat, that he is for Shell.
