PAMELA MASON COMMENTS ON THE GUBERNATORIAL RACE
(DURING THE FOLLOWING PORTIONS OF THE PAMELA MASON SHOW, MISS
MASON WAS SHOWN IN MEDIUM AND CLOSEUP SHOTS.)
At one point when Miss Mason was discussing why she was glad she
hadn't taken the plane to Salinas after last Friday's show, she said:
"so anythew that's what I did. I thought, well, I'll make up
for this one way or another by next time they have a gubernatorial
election, I'll be a flier. I don't know when they do that. I suppose
it's several years time. However, they have another one today in
San Diego and I'm going to get to that, because you can even walk to
San Diego if you really start soon enough, And if you don't start
soon enough you can go by car, so I thought, well, I'll go down for
that one.
"It isn't that I suddenly became madly politically-minded or
anything like that. It's just that I, -- I was kind of fed up when
I kept meeting people who said, "Well, you know, obviously Nixon
will win because he nearly was President and anybody who's nearly
President has got to be Governor.' And this seems to me, you know,
-- as I said, it seems ridiculous. Why should that make any difference?
Especially since a man who was nearly President must still have his
eyes still on the White House and not be a bit interested in living in
Sacramento, because he's in the sticks out there.
"So to my mind it is, -- also there's been no great outflux of
people from California in the last four years that I've noticed.
It seems to be the reverse, 80 presumably, everybody was fairly
satisfied and you know, the devil you know is better than the devil
you don't know. He may have imagined a few tricks missed that they
could've pulled. I don't know what but maybe they could, but it's
rather a nice place to live the way it is and as long as it's going
-2-
on fairly nicely, I think they should keep it that way."
# # # # # #
PAMELA: "My guest at the moment is a very great friend of mine,
Ruth Farrel. Now she's the bully who was taking me up to Salinas or
somewhere on Friday, and who I failed in rather terrific fashion,
and Ruth has a number, -- she has a tremendous number of activities,
-- she's out for all kinds of things; she gets things done and goes
to the places, you know, instead of just saying she's going to go,
and so she went to Salinas, and you were glad I didn't go, weren't
you!"
RUTH: "I was delighted, and I was very sorry I went, as a matter
of fact, when we were circling that airfield for an hour through the
clouds, -- gray, bumpy clouds in & tiny little plane. And all I kept
thinking was, if we crash they won't even mention my name. It'll be
Governor Brown and friends, or people like, -- oh, it was just awful.
I was 80 happy you didn't go, Paramy."
**********
Pamela asked Ruth Farrel what is done at the political telethons.
RUTH: "Well, anyway, you sit at telephones and people call in
and ask questions and these that we're doing with the Governor, -
that I'm doing, that you'll be doing, and that some of the other
people that we know are good Democrate, are doing. We go to these
towns like Salinas or Redding or Bureka or today will be San Diego,
and we sit at a desk and people call in and ask questions that they
want the Governor to answer. The Governor is there and we then give
the questions to the Governor and he answers them."
PAMELA: "What about if I answered a few? I mean, supposing I
can't resist?"
RUTH, "Well, then, 80 right ahead."
PAMELA: "I just had a sudden (?) thought. It might be a terribly
dangerous situation for somebody to ask a question to the Governor
when I'm right there."
RUTH: "I heard you, -- was it Friday, when you said you thought
the Governor was appointed for life like the King of England?"
PAMELA: "Yes. Well, I. 9 ."
RUTH: "I can't believe, -- you are a citizen?"
PAMELA: "oh yes. I am a citizen."
-3-
RUTH: "How did you pass the test?"
PAMELA: "They helped me. I had a little green book and I read
it all up one night and the next day I went down there, and they were
awfully kind. They were very anxious to have me, it turned out,
because they wanted, -- they wanted, -- there are very few English
people apparently, ever naturalized here. And I don't know why.
You know, the English always want to go home to die for some reason,
and I didn't, and so they were glad to have me, and they helped me
through the Revolutionary and Civil Wars, where I was slightly con-
fused as to which one we were in at the time and who won. Well, one
I had no idea, -- it turned out that the English lost, and I had no
idea we had ever been involved in one of these, but anyhow they were
helpful and every time I made a mistake they said, 'Oh, well. It's
really nothing.'
"And they were kindly toward me, but the Governor, they never
mentioned anything about that. It just didn't come up. So naturally,
I didn't discover it until I happened to meet Governor Brown at the
dinner he was accidentally at. I just thought he was a Mr. Brown,
publisher, or something, and so I didn't know there was, -- and then
all of a sudden after we'd had all those elections and got a President
and got the Governor in, all of a sudden they're doing it all again
and it is confusing."
RUTH: "The American way."
PAMELA: "Yes, I suppose it is. It seems awfully complicated.
Now, once he gets in this time, then how long does that last?"
RUTH: "Four years."
PAMELA: "Only four ... .?"
RUTH: "Yes."
PAMELA: "So that a President never knows who he's going to have
for his Governors, in fact?"
RUTH: "That's true."

PAMELA MASON COMMENTS ON 'PRESCRIPTION' VITAMINS
(DURING THE FOLLOWING PORTION OF HER PROGRAM MISS MASON WAS
SHOWN IN MEDIUM AND CLOSEUP SHOTS.)
In commenting on a bill proposal for the consumer to obtain vita-
mins only by prescription, Miss Mason made the following statements:
"It just couldn't work, -- it couldn't work. I don't know who's
trying to force it through, but it seems to me it's an impossible
one. If they did force it through it would mean that you couldn't
buy anything, - or practically nothing in a food market or a drug
store without a doctor right beside you to, -- as you saw something,
-- 'oh, there's a nice can of soup. It's got some calcium enriched
something.' And the doctor would say, "Just a moment.' He'd write
down (Latin phrase) and he'd charge you $5 and you could buy a can
of soup.
"I really don't believe we'd have to write about it, but for a
start, you know, - if there is any liklihood, you, -- I'm sure that
one could always write to the, -- what's that word they use about
'incumbent?' Is an insumbent a fellow who's being cumbered or a
fellow who's gotten into the position or is hoping to get it? Gover-
nor Brown is it now. He's an incumbent, I think, or he's incumbent.
Well, whatever it is, he's there and I don't see why one shouldn't
write and say, 'Whatever you do, if you get back in and if you're in
now, please What did you say, Ed?"
OFF STAGE: "Write to your Congressman."
PAMELA: "Congressman? (She laughs.) How do you find out who
your Congressman is? Lots of us still say, "I didn't even know I had
a Congressman, or I would've invited him to a party.' So if you happen
to think that you're BO smart that you know that you've got a Congress-
man and you know where to find him, write to him and complain. And
-2-
if you don't know, write to Governor Brown and say to him, 'When you
get back in, please see that they don't put vitamins on prescription
because it'd be such a nuisance for one thing, and it would be such
a imposition on one's freedom and right to buy the sort of loaf of
bread you want to buy."

PAMELA MASON COMMENTS
(AS PAMELA MASON SPOKE, SHE WAS SHOWN IN MEDIUM AND CLOSEUP
SHOTS.)
QUESTION: "Do you have the results of the political poll?"
PAMELA: "Yes, I -- I don't actually have them, because I haven't
made the count yet, but I'll make it tonight, and we'll have it to-
morrow, because we got a tremendous response, you know. A lot of
people wrote in furiously and said, 'How can you be so idiotic? ob-
viously Nixon is going to win. And I wrote those equally passionately
about Brown, and I think that -- you know I favored Brown although
everybody has been horrid about it.
"Not because I care really, two hoots. I don't think it makes
too much difference to me what Governor there is, unless, you know,
we really had a madman like Castro, you know, something like that.
And I don't think that we would have. But nevertheless, I favored
him because I rather liked him. I thought he seemed a nice, honest,
type of man. And I think that, now, he has an even better chance,
because you know, everybody who wrote me criticized the present govern-
ment for not doing anything.
"You know, people never want anything done but results in some-
thing really nasty, like a war. And yet, they always demand that the
government do something. What is it? Don't just do something, stand
there, or whatever it is that they do about people. But so the poor
President was always in trouble because he hadn't done anything nasty.
If he had done anything nasty, of course, there would have been talk
about that too. You can't win.
"But I think that enough show (?) -- but of course, I haven't
counted, but we!ll find out tomorrow and see which of them are going
to get in, and then we can tell them to call off the whole thing, because
we will have decided."

PAMELA MASON COMMENTS ON NIXON DINNER
(DURING THE FOLLOWING PORTION OF THE PAMELA MASON SHOW, MISS
MASON WAS SHOWN IN MEDIUM AND CLOSEUP SHOTS.)
"This is a page I wrote when I was off for two days last week, --
Monday and Tuesday. I wrote down a list of the things I'd sone so
I wouldn't forget them, and look. I've only crossed out three.
That shows how much I've talked. I've never even got around to most
of them, but one of the things that I wanted to tell about was that
I went to a Nixon dinner. You know, 'Win for Nixon.' As everybody
knows by now, I have no politics because I can't see the difference
from one or the other, you know, -- they all lie like catfish. And
they promise anything. And they, -- it, -- they don't even give
you Arpege, and so I personally have no faith in it, and I know
that if you threw away the newspapers or hid them under the bed now,
today, and picked them out in five years time, the only thing you'd
have to change in them would be the names of the places where the
trouble is. But nothing else ever changes.
"There's always a war brewing in Saudi Arabia or one of those
spots, you know, and there's always an assassinated dictator of some
unheard of country which is causing terrible alarm among the oil
wells, and there's always something dreadful happening south of the
border, and something worse happening north of the border, and some-
times there's something also happening on the border. But it doesn't
vary too much. Somehow or other the world struggles on. Heaven knows
how, but it does, and wars come and go. It's a shame they do, -- not
a shame they go but it's a shame that they arrive in the first place,
but they do, and so politics pass me over. I think they pass me over
because although I'd love to grasp it, but I can't.
"So I thought, well, 'Let's have a broad mind about this. I went
to a Governor Brown affair of some sort, -- a cocktail party, you
-2-
know, to mess around. And I got there very late, so late, that I sat
at the Governor's table. And I've met him once before, 80 by accident,
when he dropped into Chases (?) thinking it was open, but it was Mon-
day and it's actually a Groucho Marx party, and he was put at the table
with me again. And I didn't know who he was. I didn't know they had
a Governor in California at that time. I was very nervous. This was
several years ago. There was Mr. Brown. He was very, very charming
to me and awful nice, and seemed to care what I thought, and at the
end of the dinner I was really quite taken with him and I said to
somebody, 'What a charming man that Mr. Brown is. Is he a part of
the show?' And somebody said, 'No, he's the Governor of California.'
I said, 'Oh, well. Why do they want that?' So he explained.
"And now, of course, I thought that was a permanent assignment.
He was, -- I thought he was the permanent Governor like the King of
England, you know. His family hands it down from generation to gener-
ation, and then all of a sudden I found that they want to get rid of
him and put in any other governor that they can find.
"Well, there are lots of people that keep coming on the Tom
Duggan Show and saying they're Nr. Schell or Mr. Richards or some-
thing or other, and they stand for I don't know what, prohibition, I
suppose, or one of those things. Anyway, so again I go to this party
and I meet Governor Brown again, and again, now I know he's the Gover-
nor, but he, he, as I told you, -- he seemed to me very, -- he looks
you in the eye, you know, which I like, -- I go by that.
"If people look me in the eye and I ses a person there instead
of just a vague fixed stare, that convinces me to some extent that
there's a human being there even 1f he's not a good one. You can't
tell but you can tell that he's there. And he always impressed me
that he was there and rather charming, and so that made me a Democrat.
So, of course, I was also a Democrat because I liked Kennedy. I thought
he was so attractive. You know, his lovely hair and everything, and
I like her. I think she's very attractive. Now, if she happens to
divorce him, -- and marries a Republican, I probably woulddbe a
Republican.
"Anyway, so that's how frivolous my politics are, 80, now I go
to this Nixon dinner and I thought, -- everybody tells me that Nixon
is going to win because he was nearly President, which doesn't seem
to me to be a good enough reason for being Governor, particularly,
but everybody says, 'Well, any man who was nearly President is bound
to win a Governorship.' So I thought I'd like to go and maybe I could
be convinced and, -- and be one of him. So I went to it, -- I've
never been to one of these things. I didn't pay for it, of course.
I was invited. I wouldn't pay for it because that would put no on
their side, and so, I'm much too stingy anyway.
"So there I am eating an enormous meal, and everybody else is
just picking at 1t politely because they're there for political
reasons and I'm there to eat. And, -- especially since I'm on a diet.
This is at the Palladium in Hollywood, -- last Monday, and they have
-3-
a huge bowl (?) and opposite me is Jayne Mansfield, and naturally I
was so happy because she's so pretty that it's worth going to a polit-
ical rally just to sit opposite her. But she really is. She's
divinely pretty. And now, of course, some of the people that were
there were not nearly so pretty, especially on the restrum, you know,
-- that long row of gentlemen who invariably look the same in every
rally. Whatever side they're on, of whatever counsel they're on as
a matter of fact. You can't tell one politician from another until
they open their mouth and speak whatever language it is.
"And so, there they are, -- the great group of them. Now, in
marches a group of slightly out of step girls who are the Nixonaires.
And I thought that it was a rally of little Lolita's for the fellows
on the rostrum, but I was wrong. Apparently they are a group of air
hostesses who got together for the purpose of electing a Governor,
or at least that's what I gathered from the conversation that went
on afterward, and anyway, there, -- the first, -- I think the major
issue after the food was that General Eisenhower came on a screen,
-- a great big enormous screen, -- I should mention that, strangely
enough, instead of it being completely a mess like our cameras are
right here in the studio, everything went very smoothly, and strangely
enough, it was this studio's cameras that were working out.
"When they're out they do fine. When they're home they just fall
apart at the seams. Every day our camera collapses around eleven, --
a quarter to eleven, as a rule, and the failing system (?) has to
be given oil of camera or whatever it is that cameras feed off, and
it gets terribly sick, and we have to have another camera, -- it's
rushed in, you know. There's a terrible lot of nervous things going
on behind here. I'm wondering whether it was me or them, or my slip
is showing, or something, and it finally turns out that the camera
had another of its attacks, but out there in the open, the Palladium,
there were four camers, all of whom worked fine. They were in great
health and they were reaching out and having a very good time in
taking part in the rally. I presume they take part in all the rallies
at the Palladium, and they choose (?) camera to 80 out. Anyway,
Eisenhower, -- oh, I'm sorry. Wait abour twenty minutes and I'll
be back."
(COMMERCIAL)
"so, there I am at this elegant party, and I caught him on this
big screen from San Francisco, and he said that Nixon was just a
darling boy and a wonderful kid and a great fellow and a splendid
man and a fine, upright, upstanding, honest-to-goodness American,
and then he said that he was in the best position to know because he
sat across the table from him for a long time, and he was just the
finest kid you could possibly wish for, and blah, blah, blah. And
then he made a few smearing remarks about the opposition and that
finished him, and then Nixon got up and said exactly the same thing
only in reverse. He said, what a wonderful man Eisenhower was, what
a great kid, -- what a splendid politician, what a marvelous person
to work with and that he was in the best position to know because he
-4-
sat opposite him for so many whatever it was. Now, I didn't mind.
I wasn't prejudiced against the particularly, because after all
they were just reading their press clippings to each other over
an intercom system that happened to be television.
"That, -- they're entitled to do that, and then they started,
-- then Nixon started to say the most horrible things about Governor
Brown and the Democrats. And I said to a friend who was beside, --
I said, 'Isn't that slander or libel in a public (?) place?' She
said, 'Oh, no. That's politics.' So, now I know why I don't like
politics. I think that it's dirty and it's filthy and it, -- in no
other position in the world could you say such things about people
who either work with you or for you, who are part of your own coun-
try, -- you are destructively, -- it doesn't matter what the oppo-
sition stands for. You've got to present your own attitude, --
your own platform, not to smear and jeer at them, and then bring
out a lot od (indistinet word) that doemn't make sense to Jayne
Mansfield or me.
"And I don't care how much money Governor Brown spent on what,
-- all I know is that every road has always been up ever since
I've been to California, and that's 15 years ago, so obviously,
he wasn't Governor all that time, I'm afraid. But, also probably
all the roads are up so that they' be better when they get down
again. I don't know what it is, but, -- you just had a little
space to sell items and you want to sell another? Oh, you sure
are greedy."
(COMMERCIAL)
"Joe Pondruff (?) had a great idea. He said in view of the
fact that I'm not satisfied with the way politics are going, he said
why don't I run for Governor myself? I was just about to explain
to him while that little salesmanship was going on why I can't.
First of all, I haven't been asked, for one thing. Otherwise, I
would've said, 'Yes,' of course. But the other thing is that, --
this is what I was leading up to, as a result of the tremendous
political interest I've developed, having been to one of those
parties, I got invited to go to Salinas, I think it is, this
afternoon by air, and go on some kind of an intercom telethon
thing that Governor Brown was putting out, and so I said, 'Oh,
that'd be interesting. Yes, I'd love to do that.' When I'm mad
like I was yesterday afternoon at the studio, I said, 'Yes. What
do I care? I can get on the plane and go, -- certainly.' But I
forgot how frightened I am of airplanes."
(Pamela continued to discuss her fright of airplanes, and
indicated that she didn't know whether or not she'd make the flight.)
November 1, 1962
Mrs. Golda Robertson
833 So. Detroit:
Los Angeles 36, California
Dear Mrs.Robertson:
We have been advised of your desire for information concerning the story about
Senator Nixon signing a deed with restrictive covenants on his Washington D. C.
home. This story apparently omitted many pertinent facts.
The office of the Rdcorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia reports that a
representative of the Democrat National Committee obtained a photostat of
Senator Nixon's deed four days before publication of the story.
When the story was published it failed to pointout the following:
1. Identical deeds had also been signed by Senator Sparkman, the Vice-Presi-
dential nominee of the Democrat Party; Senator Estes Kefauver, Democrat of
Tennessee; Senator Blair Moody, Democrat of Michigan; and Senator Burnet
Maybank, Democrat of South Carolina.
2. The document that Senator Nixon signed was meaningless because the Supreme
Court decision had already been made ruling the provision to be unconstitutional
It just so happened that the same form of deed was still being used in the tract.
3. The date the deeds were signed by Senator Nixon and the four Democrats above
named, as well as the homes they cover is as follows:
Senator Kefauver
January 4, 1949
4848 Upton Street, N. W.
Senator Sparkman
January 11, 1949
4920 Upton Street, N. W.
Senator Maybank
February 3, 1950
4730 Quebec Street, N. W.
Senator Moody
June 29, 1951
5006 Tilden Street, N. W.
Senator Nixon
July 5, 1951
4801 Tilden Street, N. W.
It is obvious that t he story is being used as an attempted smear against Senator
Nixon, and those who are responsible for its circulation know that the f acts
contained in this letter are correct.
I have known Senator Nixon for many years, and he has demonstrated by word and
action that he will not tolerate nor countenance any acts of prejudice, bigotry
or intoleramce. He has demonstrated that this by decrying the spreading of
dissension among our people just as un-American as the tactics of the Namis and
Communists.
Sincerely,
Glen P. Lipscomb
