Monday, August 27, 2007 Page 4 of 4 INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM Nixon for Governor To: ROSE MARY WOODS Date: June 22, 1962 From: CHARLIE FARRINGTON Subject: HERBERT L. WRIGHT Distribution: Dorothy Wright The attached correspondence concerning a proposed television musical spectacular provides background information for the request of subject individual that Mr. Nixon assist him in the arrangements for an appointment with Charles Percy, Chairman of the Board of Bell & Howell, relative to the sponsorship of this program. While this request has no direct bearing on the present campaign, and I have not quite figured out how I got in the middle of it and became, in effect, the "liaison" between Mr. Wright and the campaign -- I assume you can provide the proper handling for this matter. June 22, 1962 Ms. Herbert L. Wright Progressive Talent, Inc. 200 West 57 Street New York 19, New York Dear Mr. Wright: Your letter of June 20, and the information con- cerning the proposed television musical spectacular has just reached my desk, and I will keep you ad- vised of our progress with respect to a contact with Mr. Charles Percy. Sincerely, Charles Farrington, Jr. INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM Nixon for Governor To: Dorothy Wright Date: June 20, 1962 From: Charlie Farrington Subject: Herbert Wright Distribution: File For your information, I finally talked with subject individual in New York and there is no problem with him at this point. His project, as you know, is an "interracial" television special featuring such worthies as Marilyn Monroe, Bob Hope, Sammy Davis, Jr., etc. He has the thing pretty well set, including network co-operation, but is eager for a Bell & Howell type sponsor. Basically, what he wants RN to do is to arrange a meeting for him with Chuck Percy in Chicago to try to negotiate this. Wright is sending me a complete written rundown on the show, and at that time we can determine how the request is to be handled -- if at all. C June 14, 1962 Dear Mel: Sorry to miss your call the other day. I understand your question on the joint headquarters was answered. At this time, the policy is the same as during the primary, so there could be no doubling up. If there is any change in this, we'll let you know, but for the time being, the Nixon Headquarters should stand alone. date X I've been trying to find a few minutes to give you a call about Russ Giffen.

George Mason Drive Arlington, Virginia May 10, 1962 Dear Sandy: It has been suggested to us that the Kennedy Administration is becoming increasingly vulnerable vis-a-vis the UN Resolu- xx X tion on Israel-Syria. Apparently Ben Gurion raised hell with Stevenson the other day and the New York Israeli partisans are hopping mad at Kennedy, recalling his grandiose speeches during the campaign on how he would handle the date Middle East. We also understand the Israeli business is hurting Kennedy among the rich Democratic contributors, since the promoters of the Birthday Party at Madison Square Garden are having trouble getting rid of the high priced tickets. L (Victor Lasky) W (Sandy Weiner) File: Minor. & Natl. It has been further suggested that we try to put Governor Brown on the spot on this issue by having someone high in the Jewish community address a question to Brown on how he stands on the Kennedy policy towards Israel-Syria. Whatever he says, he will be on the spot. Do you have any thoughts or suggestions on this? Sincerely, H. R. Haldeman Mr. S. L. Weiner 9879 Santa Monica Boulevard Beverly Hills, California INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM Nixon for Governor To: Bob Haldeman Date: May 7, 1962 From: Rose Mary Woods Subject: Attached letter from Vic Lasky Distribution: RN's comments on this letter speak for themselves. As you can see, he thinks Vic has a good idea and suggeste that we have one of our Jewish groups follow up on this. Attachment April 30, 1962 Dear Mr. Walz: ** # I Mr. Nixon has asked that I answer File: your very thoughtful letter of April 24th regarding your views on the campaign. First, let me tell you how much date Mr. Nixon appreciated your interest and he is certainly hopeful that you will be able to work with (=T=M) M the many important people you contact during your travels throughout the state. As to the specific comments you make: 1) It is not Mr. Nixon's intention to waste time shooting at President Kennedy and the national administration. We all recognize that this does not accomplish our goal, and I can assure you Mr. Nixon is very much aware of this. On the Campaign Corres. - Comments etc. other hand, there are times when he has to answer specific questions which are raised in press conferences and other meetings, and unfortunately these answers seem to get more publicity than his many statements on state issues which are made every day. 2) He is concentrating his entire effort on issues that pertain to the State of California, and recognizes the importance of doing so. 3) We agree with your recommended approach to the labor vote. Mr. Walz 2 April 30, 1962 4) Mr. Nixon has, even in this early stage of the campaign, enunciated a number of points in his overall program designed to accomplish pre- cisely the objectives which you list. I think you might find the attached material interesting covering just three of the seventeen speeches he made this last week. Keep up the good work, and let us know if we can be of any further assistance. Sincerely, H. R. Haldeman Mr. J. E.

He was so upset with what he knew about what was taking place in Sacramento that he later forwarded this letter to me. I pass it on to you for what it is worth. During our trip from Burbank to Coalinga, and return, I suggested to Dick that a little time spent with Mr. James Mussatti of San Francisco, who is past manager of the California State Chamber of Commerce, might bring to light a lot of good campaign material pertaining to the goings' on all over the State by the Brown ad- ministration. While on a visit to Fresno, Mr. Mussatti talked to me and said that he had written to Dick offering his help in the event he could be of assistance. Mr. Loren Vanderlip who is the California State Chamber of Commerce, Sacramento, lobbyist, also volunteered to help on any information from that source that Dick might think would be useful during the campaign. These are excellent sources of factual information. In my opinion, we should take advantage of their willingness to help. Mr. Mussatti is still serving the State Chamber as assistant to the President and both he and Mr. Vanderlip work out of the San Francisco office. Mel. MEW:1 MELVILLE E.

WILSON FRESNO, CALIFORNIA AM 8-7011 March 21, 1962 Mr. Melville Willson P. O. Box 1168 Fresno, California Dear Mel: The other day I talked with a number of key people who are close to the State Government in Sacramento. I mentioned to you that I had received an impression that there is a lot of "dirty politics" going on up there. Among the points made were some of the following. The governor is appointing people to key positions without regard to ability but rather with regard to what possible influence they might have over votes. The Director of Finance for our $2,000,000,000 State Budget, Mr. Champion, is a newspaper reporter and not a financial man. His assistant, Mr. Fowler, is a man whose ability is less than should be desired. He is a man who has attained his position through flattery, favors, and catering to special interests. Negros and Chinese have been appointed to sensitive spots in the government with big salaries because of their possible influence on votes. It is common knowledge that payments to beneficiaries of certain welfare-type programs controlled by the state are being made at the insistence of some of these people contrary to the normal rules governing such payments. The attitude expressed has been "they need it, so let's pay it" rather than examining the question of their right to the money. I might point out that there has been considerable criticism of the appointment to the Advisory Commission which functions to set policy for the State Real Estate Commission. Appointments have been made without consultation of the industry and, in some cases, the appointees past records do not stand up well under close investigation. Melville Willson 2 March 21, 1962 I realize that this information is such that it would need something more specific to be of real use to Mr. Nixon. I am confident that a discussion of these questions with some of the people closer to the picture may give you the ammunition you need. Very truly yours, HUGHSON & SWETT L. M. Wilson LHW/1s Bob I mentioned to Dick that foren landerlip- who is with the State Ca C. would be a good man & get fastual information from Mel April 23, 1962 Dear Rose: Thanks for sending the Bierly letter. I think at this point it would be X date I X W better for you to answer it, and that we should hold off a follow-up from the eandidate until we can be a little more positive along the lines he wants. I do feel, however, you should get an answer off to him right away. We will try to set up the meeting with the Southern California Dairymen. I agree this would be a worthwhile contact.

We all recognize that this does\nnot accomplish our goal, and I can assure you\nMr. Nixon is very much aware of this.

WILSON\nFRESNO, CALIFORNIA\nAM 8-7011\nMarch 21, 1962\nMr. Melville Willson\nP. O. Box 1168\nFresno, California\nDear Mel:\nThe other day I talked with a number of key people who are close to\nthe State Government in Sacramento. I mentioned to you that I had\nreceived an impression that there is a lot of \"dirty politics\" going\non up there.\nAmong the points made were some of the following. The governor is\nappointing people to key positions without regard to ability but\nrather with regard to what possible influence they might have over\nvotes. The Director of Finance for our $2,000,000,000 State Budget,\nMr. Champion, is a newspaper reporter and not a financial man. His\nassistant, Mr. Fowler, is a man whose ability is less than should be\ndesired. He is a man who has attained his position through flattery,\nfavors, and catering to special interests.\nNegros and Chinese have been appointed to sensitive spots in the\ngovernment with big salaries because of their possible influence on\nvotes.\nIt is common knowledge that payments to beneficiaries of certain\nwelfare-type programs controlled by the state are being made at the\ninsistence of some of these people contrary to the normal rules\ngoverning such payments. The attitude expressed has been \"they need\nit, so let's pay it\" rather than examining the question of their\nright to the money.\nI might point out that there has been considerable criticism of the\nappointment to the Advisory Commission which functions to set policy\nfor the State Real Estate Commission. Appointments have been made\nwithout consultation of the industry and, in some cases, the\nappointees past records do not stand up well under close investigation.\nMelville Willson\n2\nMarch 21, 1962\nI realize that this information is such that it would need something\nmore specific to be of real use to Mr. Nixon. I am confident that\na discussion of these questions with some of the people closer to the\npicture may give you the ammunition you need.\nVery truly yours,\nHUGHSON & SWETT\nL. M.

I do feel, however, you should get an\nanswer off to him right away.\nWe will try to set up the meeting\nwith the Southern California Dairymen. I agree\nthis would be a worthwhile contact.\nFile: F & C \"Farmers for Nixon\"\nBest regards.\nSincerely,\nH. R. Haldeman\nMr. Ross Wurm\nFarmers for Nixon\nP.O.
