This is a suggestion for a piece of literature which I
think should be given immediate priority. It could be
extremely effective in the last several weeks of the
campaign.
On the day that Nixon announced the vote count for the
Presidency and then made his retiring speech in the Senate,
many of the Democratic leaders rose to comment on and
commend his outstanding service, character etc.
These quote will all be in the Congressional Record and
Agnes should be able to supply them.
The literature piece I am thinking of might be a folder
which, on the cover, simply says "What Leading Democrats
say about Nixon." Inside would be the quotes referred to
above, with perhaps a picture of each of the individuals.
Added to this might be the Eleanor Roosevelt quote regarding
Nixon's leadership of the President's Committee on
Government Contracts. Frey has this quote.
Will you please get someone going on this? I would especially
look for Kennedy, Johnson, Rayburn, McCormick, Mansfield etc.

Maybe I'm all wet, but I would suggest any reprints of the attached

The MAACP could very well take this out of context and accuse the

WHICH SHADE OF BROWN?
Four Years of Taking BOTH Sides of Every Issue
Unless otherwise noted, all quotes are taken verbatim from Brown's
news conferences, speeches, press releases, and letters, or as re-
ported in major newspapers.
ON NARCOTICS
DOUBTS, DODGES & DELAYS
IN REFUSING TO SEE A GROUP OF LOS ANGELES HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WHO
CAME TO PLEAD FOR PLACING A STRONG NARCOTICS LAW ON THE AGENDA FOR
THE 1960 SESSION OF THE LEGISLATURE - AFTER ONE OF THEIR CLASS-
MATES HAD BEEN KILLED BY TWO YOUNG ADDICTS:
"I don't believe (in having) 250 children calling
on the Governor to discuss something they know
nothing about." (quoted in L. A. Herald-Express
editorial, March 8, 1960.)
At the same time, the U. S. Senate Subcommittee
investigating juvenile delinquency issued a report
which included, among other things, the fact that
in one Long Beach junior high school 59% of the
students were marijuana smokers.
DESPITE MOUNTING EVIDENCE OF THE KIND NOTED ABOVE, AND THE FACT THAT
OTHER STATES HAD PROVED THAT STIFFER PENALTIES COULD REDUCE NARCOTICS
CRIMES, BROWN STEADFASTLY REFUSED TO PLACE NARCOTICS ON THE LEGIS-
LATURE'S AGENDA:
On March 29, 1960, he said:
"We know from long experience that stiffer sentences
do not necessarily curb serious crime."
And on April 4, 1960:
"I have had over sixteen years experience in this
field as district attorney, attorney general and
now governor. I know that simply enacting further
increases in penalties or restrictions would not
rid us of this menace."
1
But, on January 31, 1961, after another year of sharp rises in
narcotics offenses, and the clamor of law enforcement officials,
civic and church leaders, he said:
"We propose harsher penalties for narcotic
offenders--so that for the peddler the profit
will not be worth the risk. "
And finally, two years too late, a tough narcotics law was passed.
Result, an 18% drop in adult felony narcotics violations in 1961.
IN LAW ENFORCEMENT, REVERSED DECISIONS
ON CONVICTED KIDNAPPER-RAPIST CARYL CHESSMAN:
"I made a decision on clemency (refused)
and I have no intention of hearing this matter
again, or making any change."
Press Conference 10/23/59
"I want to hold no further hearings on the
Chessman case whatsoever."
Press Conference 2/12/60
On February 18, 1960, Brown granted Chessman a
60-day reprieve on the basis of a telegram from
the State Department -- it was later revealed
that the telegram was solicited! Chessman
finally died on May 2, 1960.
ON DESERVING POLICE OFFICERS AND FIREMEN:
According to the San Francisco News-Call Bulletin
(9/21/61), Brown had the police and firemen's
representatives from San Francisco in his office
on June 15, 1961, to have their pictures taken
with him signing a bill which granted policemen
or firemen full pension rights if they had a
heart attack after ten years or more on the force.
As is customary in these cases, he didn't really
sign the bill at the time, but sent the repre-
sentatives autographed pictures of the ceremony.
Only one hitch developed, he never did sign the
bill, which had passed the legislature unanimously,
and it never became a law!
2
The Firefighters Local 798 sent their picture back
with the comment from their president, Daniel Driscoll,
that:
11
evidently the rumors are true, and
Brown doesn't know what he's doing, and that
his staff is running the organization."
quoted in S.F. NCB 8/21/62
STATE FINANCES
DECEPTIONS, DISTORTIONS, DUPLICITIES
PLANNING AHEAD, BROWN CAREFULLY CALCULATED THE FUTURE IN HIS '59
BUDGET MESSAGE:
"In the first full year of impact for these new
taxes, the estimated revenue is $256.6 million.
Every dollar I anticipate will be needed!"
1/28/59
Actual surplus, June 30, 1961: $131.3 million!
FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY
"I believe in old-fashioned fiscal solvency in
government.

TAXES, AND LOVE FOR THE LITTLE MAN
"
a careful, moderate revenue program (the
1959 tax increases). "
1/5/60
The 1959 tax increases were the largest general tax
increase in the history of any state, and much of
the burden for the increase was placed on low income
families:
400,000 new persons began to pay
state income taxes.
the tax on the workingman's drink,
beer, was doubled.
3
three cents was added to the cost
of a package of cigarettes.
the minimum corporation tax, which
hits small business, was raised
300 per cent.
Brown's campaign literature says:
NO TAX INCREASES IN THREE YEARS.
IN 1960, IN ANSWER TO REPUBLICAN BILLS CALLING FOR REPEAL OF THE
SALES TAX ON PRESCRIPTION DRUGS AND INCOME TAX RELIEF FOR WORKING
MOTHERS:
"I see no room for any tax cuts whatsoever."
2/2/60
In 1961, after trouble at the polls in 1960,
such cuts became part of the Governor's Program
for the Legislature, and were passed.
ON THE STATE CONSTRUCTION BONDS AND THE INTELLIGENCE OF THE VOTER:
"The people of California are not stupid. They're
smart
They know we have need for these things,
and the amount of the budget, the amount of the
bond issue,
..

6/18/62
MISCELLANEOUS PROMISES, PROCRASTINATIONS & POSTPONEMENTS
IN AGRICULTURAL LABOR DISPUTES, THE FARMERS ARE PROMISED LAWS --
BUT GET A BOB-TAILED COMMISSION:
"There must be some legislation to protect the
farmer from those strikes at the time of harvest."
6/23/60
4
"We in California can not sit idly by and wait
for Washington to act. We must do our job for
progress as we see it.
"I propose that all of us work together during
the next legislature to develop legislation that
will protect the farmer and the farm worker next
year. 11
9/17/60
By March, 1961, with the legislature in session,
but no laws proposed, the Governor fell back on
his usual out:
"I have
recommended that we
establish a balanced fact-finding
committee.
"
The legislature acted to establish such a committee -
but by August 10, 1962, according to Brown's Los
Angeles office, he had appointed only three of the
five members authorized.
LIP SERVICE TO LIBRARIES
"The time has long passed when California, proud of
her progress in so many other fields, can afford to
leave her libraries waiting at the church."
1/21/61
Despite this, he gave no support to a bill which
would have provided additional library support, and
no such funds were included in the Governor's
1962-63 budget.
PROGRESS IN MEETING THE PROBLEMS OF AUTOMATION MOVES AT A PRE-
MACHINE AGE PACE
"I have just started an investigation."
9/17/59
"I am going to appoint a small working committee. "
5/3/61
And finally, full circle back to '59
"I am going to announce the establishment
today of a 24-member Governor's Committee
on Automation and Technological Development
to investigate the impact of automation on
California's economy
6/18/62
5
ON WELFARE ABUSES, WORDS BUT NO ACTION
"I want to announce that there is going to be a
conference on Aid to Needy Children."
9/6/60
"We will be setting out to reform the laws that
cover financial aid to needy children. We want
to crack down on the cheaters."
9/23/60
But in 1962 Brown was still talking
"We must redouble our efforts to weed
out the cheaters who at best are taking
money from those who really deserve it
and would bring the whole welfare
structure down in a cloud of public
disgust."
4/30/62
MOVING AHEAD ON SMOG
"We have begun to move on smog. We cannot afford
to lose a year in the fight to clear up the air."
1/5/60
"1960 may well be a turning point in this murky
battle.
"
1/18/60
In late 1962 we are still waiting for an acceptable
automobile exhaust control.
THE LOYALTY OATH, THE CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL
AND THE JOHN BIRCH SOCIETY
BOTH SIDES OF THE LOYALTY OATH CONTROVERSY
...
"
The lingering McCarthyism of negative
loyalty oaths (is) still in our midst."
Speech to the CDC 2/12/60
"I disagree with the CDC's position (calling for
the repeal of negative loyalty oaths). "
7/25/62
6
FOR, AND AGAINST, THE CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL'S RESOLUTIONS :
"The CDC has adopted many intelligent statements
and policies, none of which bears the slightest
resemblance to Nixon's distorted and hysterical
dossier."
5/28/62
"I disagree with the CDC on this issue (abolition
of the House Committee on Un-American Activities).
"I do not favor admitting Red China to the United
Nations."
"I disagree with the CDC's position (on reduction
of military spending). "
"I disagree with the CDC's position favoring such
(Police Review) boards. "
7/25/62
All of these positions were among
those mentioned by Nixon.
ON THE JOHN BIRCH SOCIETY
"I'm not worried about them. "
3/21/61
After the JBS became a potential campaign issue:
"Several months ago, I made my position
clear on the John Birch Society. I
warned then that its cloak-and-dagger
brand of patriotism was a threat to our
country and all we stand for.' "
2/20/62
BUMBLES, BOGGLES AND BOONDOGGLES
ON THE NEED FOR THE GOVERNOR TO LOOK BEYOND THE BORDERS OF THIS
STATE:
"I am convinced that no longer can a Governor
operate solely within his own state
when
you hear a debate on the foreign policy of the
United States, the question of nuclear testing,
the question of whether there should be closer
integration of the Federal Reserve Bank with
the Treasury Department, these are things that
a Governor can't become an expert on, but he
certainly should know something about them. "
7
12/1/59
"Katanga and Berlin and Southeast Asia -- the
items which attract your fellow journalist
from Los Angeles -- are important. But they
have little to do with a California governor's
need to meet the challenge of the greatest
mass migration in human history. "
1/8/62
ON THE SLAUGHTER ON OUR HIGHWAYS:
"Bob McCarthy (Director of the Motor Vehicles
Dept.) has done a magnificent job and no one
will know how many lives have been saved by
reason of this tough policy. "
1/29/60
In resigning, McCarthy had a
different story to tell:
"When I accepted your appointment ... we agreed
to the seriousness of the traffic problem and the
need for vigorous leadership. Since that time
your support has dwindled steadily and by now has
completely disappeared.
"My attempts to curb the drunk driver, while
initially receiving lip service, saw you cave
into pressure for a softer law. Leadership here
could have saved lives. 11
Letter of Resignation 8/15/61
SACRAMENTO THE ROAD TO THE WHITE HOUSE
"Governor Edmund G. Brown made it clear today (in
Washington) he is available for the Democratic
Presidential nomination, but said he will not

"I, of course, took myself out of the Presidential
campaign. I never had any intention of entering
it at any time since I've been elected Governor.
Brown Press Conference 5/24/60
8
ON OCTOBER 14, 1961, BROWN'S MEMORY WAS SOMEWHAT FAULTY IN
REFERRING TO THE LEGISLATIVE FIGHT ON THE WATER PLAN:
"There was, you will remember, almost unanimous
Republican opposition in the Senate."
Actually, of the 12 noe votes in the
Senate, 11 were Democrats and only
1 was Republican.
ON THE DISTRESSED UNEMPLOYED IN SAN BERNARDINO
"Nobody is starving as far as I know, and I
think I would know about it."
Press Conference 1/24/61
But three days later
"It is true that there are some
families in San Bernardino County
who do not have enough to eat."
Press Conference 1/27/61
IN 1962, BROWN "OVERLOOKED" THE FACT HE WAS GIVING HIMSELF A RAISE:
"I stand behind this budget in every particular,
with the exception of one item, and that is the
salary increase for the Governor of California.
That is something that was not brought to my
attention.
"
2/6/62
ON THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE SCHOOLS
"I believe that there is grave danger of our com-
plicating the work of the schools with too many
jobs
The schools should not be given responsi-
bilities which belong properly to the family, the
church, or to a public agency."
1/21/60
9
But, only twenty days later
"There is much more that our schools can do.
They must lay the moral foundation that will
enable us to identify the less obvious mani-
festations of delinquency; conflicts of interest
which corrupt public officials, rigged TV shows,
mandacity in advertising, sensationalism in the
treatment of murder, divorce and much more.
"In fact, I would include in this list such
things as urban blight and our failure to meet
the basic needs of about 20% of our people. "
