Chico and Marysville activity (your 5/16 memo)
I checked on Ed Johnson's report that there is no
activity in Marysville and Chico, and find that our
organization has been weak in Chico, but has been doing an
excellent job in the Marysville area.
I am also assured that the Butte County situation
(Chico) has been corrected in recent weeks.

Oakland Chairman --Finance Affair
Distribution:
I told the Oakland Chairman that you would call him on the

not talked with him, please do SO.
The reason I want you to call him is Bob Finch tells me he hasn't
been able to work it out just be sure that the Oakland man has been kept
informed. Let them know if we are not going to be able to do it as they
are holding a hall up there and have set the date already.

Dear Bob:
As I am sure you know by now from the State Central
Committee, the plans for a series of unity fund-raising
activities in the major cities throughout the state
shortly after the primary have been dropped. This was
necessarily the decision due to the inability to put

under way soon enough to make it successful. As I am
sure you recognize, it would have had to be handled
by the State Central Committee since we could not divert
the campaign organization at this erucial point in the

Primary effort.
I had told George Murphy of your interest in this

activity and imagine he has been in touch with you.
The finance people have all agreed that a similar effort
in the fall campaign will be much more productive and that
is the course to which we are apparently committed at
this time.
Best regards.

As you know, the general objective of all our campaign
efforts is to provide the maximum number of individuals and
groups really working in the doorbell ringing and stamp-
licking levels. We have made some excellent strides in this
direction and after the primary, assuming we can keep our
basic staff intact, I am sure this will be expanded rapidly
and far more effectively than has ever been done in this state.

Reports from Key Staff Members
Attached are progress reports and outlines of
projected activity for the balance of the primary from key
staff members.
I have not prepared a report for myself, nor has
Herb Kalmbach submitted one. Our activities cover all
phases of the campaign structure, and primarily involve
supervision and coordination of all activities which are
included in the other reports, as well as specific trouble-
shooting.
I think the reports from the balance of the key
staff members speak for themselves and will provide the
information you wanted.
You should note especially the covering memorandum
from Dan Waters which points out some of the problems which
have arisen in developing the various contact groups.

Subject: Bob McKeen - Oakland
Calcoiti
Distribution:
Bob McKeen of Oakland expressed concern about Contra Costa
County. He said that he felt there was need for a lot of work to be done
there. We are relying primarily, as you know, on a woman in that
area and she has generally impressed me when I have met her. There
is, however, a very strong County Chairman, Conti, as you know. It
would seem to me that you ought to do some personal checking into
the Contra Costa situation and Conti, who is somewhat of a prima donna,
might well be taken in on the get-out-the-vote drive and be urged strongly
to do everything he can to get out a big Republican vote. I think in this
instance a personal call from you to Conti might be in order or whatever
else you think is proper.
Richie Smith, the Area Chairman, is a good man but I don't
think is a particularly hard driver as far as the campaign is concerned,
and you should not rely completely on his evaluation.
