Fred Haffner just said that Bill Roberts had been talking
with Earl Hardage - who said at yesterday's meeting the
people were really stirred up -- talking about and agreeing
that a state-wide association, similar to Republican
Associates - or CRA -- should be formed -- some place for
this mound of people to go to -- a sounding off spot -- and
Fred said this would be mighty easy for them to do.
-- Roberts asked Hardage if this would hurt Kuchel -- did
they want to hurt him
and Hardage said no, that it was
a. definite "sink Nixon" --- nothing more
but they are
determined to do just that.

Jerry Reynolds' call:
- Shell had a meeting with his Northern California campaign
leaders - then a press conference following the meeting.
- didn't say too much about the meeting, except that he mentioned
he was keeping on his professional campaign crew - 8 or 10
people - and would attempt to keep his campaign organization
together -- that the purpose of all this was to keep his name
in the public eye through public relations and public
appearances.
- his point was that when he started, he was unknown - but now
he is fairly well known and this gives him a head start on
anything he would ever want to run for in the future.
- on the point of Minority Leader - he assume)he will remain --
wants to -- and that if there is an attempt to oust him, he
will attribute it to the RN camp.
- asked whether he felt his supporters would back RN, he said
that the candidate is going to have to take some action himself
to get this block of votes he doesn't think that anybody
can swing a block of votes (and Jerry said this indicates
he will make no effort himself to swing the block).
- said he wasn't sure of the figure, so asked press not to use it --
but told them there would be about a $94,000 deficit from his
campaign.
- would not say if he would back RN until he meets with him --
he doesn't really know if RN can win; thinks RN is in a "come
from behind" situation, but that is the position most candidates
like to be in at this point in the contest.
- felt he was hurt most - not by Telethon - but by a major
mailing in the Los Angeles area of postcards -- these cards were
totally improper -- they purported to present an official
Republican slate -- that he would not blame RN outright -- but
RN's name was preferred - No. 1 - on all postcards; felt this
had heavy impact in the final days -- felt it was violation of
state law - and he was going to look into it
one of the cards
he received was signed - Los Angeles Republican Committee -
and he was advised that was a violation of the law.
- said RN has real problems in November
there are 350,000 to
400,000 Republicans who have stayed home from elections in the past
10 years -- and he wonders how RN is going to get these people out;
- further, that RN is the Nominee - so it's up to him to attract
the people if he wants these votes (per Jerry -- apparently referring
to his votes and again indicating he isn't going to help);
- also said he was convinced a lot of people did not listen to the
campaign arguments -- and bases this statement on the fact he lost
his own Assembly District 3 to 1.
Jerry then said UPA had written story - will hit the A.M. papers --
along following lines:
RN will have some real problems in his November battle for
Governor
Shell refused to predict how Mxon will fare against
Brown
"I don't really know if he could win
right at the
moment it is a come-from-behind operation for Nixon."
- elaborating on statement of problems
"One of them would be to
get out the Republican vote November 6th
for the last 10 years
we have had about 350,000 to 400,000 Republicans who stay at home
"
- story goes on that Nixon himself in earlier statements has stated
that he must attract about 90% of the GOp and 20% of the Democrats to
defeat Brown.
- asked whether bulk of 670,000 who voted for him in the primary would
back Nixon in November, Shell said "It is completely presumptuous for
any candidate to say he can transfer a block of votes. Mr. Nixon is
the Nominee of the Republican Party and the moves are up to him to
attract these people to whim if he wants their votes."
- Shell said he expects to keep a professional staff of 8 to 10 persons
on his payroll to keep his name before the public
"When I first
announced for Governor, the question was - who is Joe Shell? Now the
people know who I am. I don't want to start from NEE scratch again
no matter what race it is -- 2 years or 4 years axxixxyx or 6 years
from now."
(story then goes into the postcard bit)
- Shell said he expted to confer with Nixon later in the month --
said he would not issue any statement endorsing Nixon's candidacy
until after the conference.
- asked if he would support a special session of the legislature to
resubmit to the voters a $270 million bond issue
Shell said a
very careful study should be made to see if the size of the bond issue
could be reduced. He also advocated that it be submitted separately
in November with the exact amounts of each bond issue assigned to
colleges, universities and to construction of state buildings.
- he said he intended to return to the oil business - probably in the
San Joaquin Valley.
separate note from Jerry --- (apparently mentioned during press
conference)
- said Shell suggested the possibility of state revenue from a
Long Beach oil drilling project for schools -- should amount to
about 1 billion dollars
and Jerry pointed out we have already
advocated this might be used for water projects.

per Jerry Reynolds
Re: AP Editors' conference - June 21st
Said UPI - which serves 125 newspapers in California -- more than
50 exclusively - is angry because both Nixon and Brown have
accepted speaking engagements in Palo Alto June 21st at the
AP Managing Editors' Conference.
It so happens that UPI has an Editors' meeting same day - and place;
also happens that UPI, for many months, has had invitations in to
both RN and Brown to speak before the UPI National Conference -
scheduled at Fairmont Hotel, San Fran October 1st
Brown has
verbally accepted invitation and RN has said it depends upon his
post primary schedule.
- UPI is mailing another letter today -- official invitation to the
National meeting
they would like to get a fast acceptance
Brown apparently is coming up with one so that they can tell
the Editors at their June 21st meeting that the Candidates will be
appearing at their National Conference 10/1.
Jerry said arrangements for the 10/1 appearance - format it is
to take etc. - could be handled pretty close to the meeting date ---
that it could be a nation-wide TV debate or this could be
avoided
that emissaries of both candidates could meet and work
this out in advance.
also Jerry said in talking with a lot of the top newspaper people,
they think it would be a bad thing to take on Shell in any way
should make effort to get along with him but cut free after the
meeting in other words, Assemblymen should lay off atc
try to avoid further party split by having anyone take him on.
