Virgil Pinkley
I am posing to you some of the questions and
suggestions which were posed to me in Virgil Pinkley's letter.
Would you please advise me whether these things are being
done.
"In connection with the Republican organization in
California, I wonder if you are satisfied with the setup? Is
there a Yearng Republican group earnestly at work on the campus
of every Junior College, college and university in the State?
Does each Women's Club have its Republican group supporting
Richard Nixon? Is there a Nixon disciple working with the
zeal of a missionary in each service club in each city?
"With the registration as it is in our state, plus
many other matters, I do not feel that it is possible to have
too many individuals and groups really working on behalf of
the GOP and Richard M. Nixon in the doorbell-ringing and
stamp-licking levels. "

Jack asked the Senator when he was going to
endorse you - and he said he had not yet decided
whether to make a pre-primary endorsement. This
indecision was apparently furthered by his under-
standing gained at the Publishers' meeting that
neither the Chandlers nor the Copleys were going to
endorse in the primary.

Pitchess recommends that we attack Brown for specific positions

not relate the attack to a broad sweeping issue of law enforcement in the

Pitchess also feels that it would not be desirable for him to be
in the position of clearing your statements on law enforcement. He
thinks he can be more effective as a free agent, where he can truthfully
say he was not involved in the preparation or clearance of your material.

Dave Henley - Palm Springs trip

Kennedy's activities.

He did go to Palm Springs for part of the weekend
for personal pleasure, and offered to check around a bit, while there,
with the press group covering Kennedy to see what was going on.

I was rather mystified to learn from Sandy Quinn that Henley
had been sent down to Palm Springs to "cover" Kennedy's activities there.
I can't possibly imagine what he could have learned by being on the spot
that we couldn't have learned from one of the newsmen, like Bob Hartmann,
whom we know through placing a telephone call.
On the other hand when I asked Sandy what was being done to
anticipate Bobby Kennedy's conference on crime and to plant questions and
prepare a counter-attack, he had no information except that "someone was
supposed to attend it."
It would appear to me to be a "must" to have some of our people
unload on Bobby while he was here with regard to California being first
in crime in the nation and otherwise to get our point of view across. The
least that could have been done it would seem would be to contact the
various candidates for attorney general and to suggest that they see the
golden opportunity of making a little news on their part in this respect.

We have accumulated a substantial number of Democrats

The primary problem is lack of good big names to head
up the Committee. It was our feeling that these would be more
readily available after the primary. However, if you want the
Committee announced beforehand, I am sure we can do so with an
adequate list.

I believe very strongly that we need "Democrats for Nixon"
stickers and a Democrats for Nixon Committee at the earliest possible time.
I know that there has been some talk that we shouldn't have that
kind of approach - that we should simply make it "Californians for Nixon."
I find, however, in the receiving lines, etc. that there is considerable
appeal for the Democrats having their own committee for me. I particularly
want the people who run these various receiving lines to watch for the
registration - when the individual is a Democrat - get the name so that
when we announce the "Democrats for Nixon Committee" we can have several
hundred names on it.
