Statement by RICHARD NIXON
November 1, 1962, 8:00 P.M.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Cerritos College, Norwalk
FRIDAY AMs
The statements by Mr. Brown that California's Civil Defense program is "unex-
celled" in the nation and that "it is safe to say that the state of California is sub-
stantially the leader among the 50 states" in civil defense are shocking attempts to
hoodwink the people of California into a false sense of security.
These are the most cynically false statements he has made in his entire career as
Governor of this State.
The truth is that Mr. Brown's record in civil defense is one of personal confu-
sion, vacillation and failure to back up his public statements with action. Californi
instead of leading the nation in civil defense as we should because of our concentra-
tion of defense industries, has one of the most inadequate civil defense programs of
all the industrial states.
This is why I have proposed a positive seven-point program to close the serious
civil defense gap that has developed during Mr. Brown's administration.
Here is the major 14-charge indictment of Brown's conduct in failing to assure
the safety of all our citizens in the event of nuclear attack.
1. During the Brown administration, the state budget for the California Disas-
ter Office has been reduced by 20%.
2. Brown's budgetary requests and appropriated budgets for the California Disas-
ter Office have been lower than under the two preceding state administrations.
3. Under Brown, in 1960, the Civil Defense budget dropped below $1 million for
the first time since 1951.
4. The extent of Brown's concern for the civil defense protection of California,
as reflected in the budget of the California Disaster Office, amounts to 5.9 cents
per person.
5. Brown has entrusted the direction of California's Civil Defense to a man
who (a) has no background or training in civil defense (he is a former New York ad-
vertising man); (b) has a real estate business on the side while receiving $17,640
a year from the state; (c) has mired the Civil Defense program in partisan politics
and is presently under investigation by the United States Civil Service Commission.

6, New York, with the same population, is outspending California for civil de-
fense protection by at least 100 to 1.
7. While California has made virtually no progress in shelter construction,
this is New York's record:
(a) Shelters now in 80% of New York's state armories;
(b) Shelters now in five out of six state police barracks;
(c) Shelters now in the plans for all new New York state university building
(d) Shelters now in the plans for all new state buildings in New York;
(e) An average of two to three contracts signed each day for shelters within
the past year in New York.
8. In the first two years under Brown, only 3,526 people had taken the prescrib
adult course in civil defense, while in New York 180,000 people completed the course ;
one year alone,
9. Brown's attitude of "let Washington do it" has allowed our state to go unpro-
tected while he waits in vain for Federal action.
(a) On October 17, 1961, he said, "I will continue to develop our state
position so that when there is Federal funding we are ready to use
it
the shelter problem for communities is a responsibility of the
Federal Government."
(b) As recently as July, 1962, the Director of the California Disaster
Office reported Brown's attitude was still that no emergency actions
should be taken pending the development of federal plans. He said,
"It would be improper to spend state dollars for programs the Federal
Government might duplicate."
10. In 1960, Brown appointed a State Shelter Study Committec, which made seven
recommendations that require state action. By the time of the Cuban crisis last week,
there was little if any implementation on five of these seven important recommendation
11. In 1961, Brown participated in a meeting of the Governor's Civil Defense
Committee that called on all Governors to take five Civil Defense actions. Yet he has
taken no significant action in California in any of these areas.
12. Brown's reorganization of State government has placed an added layer of
bureaucracy between the Governor and the California Disaster Office.
13. In the 1961 legislative session, Brown's lack of leadership resulted in the
failure of seven out of eight civil defense measures.
14. Brown has been totally ineffective in showing any Civil Defense leadership
in his party's councils:
(a) His Speaker of the Assembly fought for the complete elimination of the
budget for the California Disaster Office in 1960.
(b) The California Young Democrats' Convention condemned the entire
Federal fall-out shelter program.
(c) The Northern California ADA Chapter called on Brown to exclude Civil
Defense from the special session of the Legislature in 1962.

prepare for a special telecast in which he will "take off the gloves
and fight back against the personal attacks which have been made by
Brown and his aides."
The special program will originate in Los Angeles (KTTV Channel
11) and will be carried live over a statewide network to San Francisco
Oakland (KTVU Channel 2), San Diego (KFMB-TV Channel 8), Sacramento
(KCRA-TV Channel 3) and Fresno (KFRE-TV Channel 30), at 9:30 PM.
"I am going to disclose for the first time the reasons behind
this series of personal attacks by Mr. Brown," Nixon said.
Nixon aides said that the former Vice President had made the
decision to alter his scheduled telecast tonight partly on the basis
of intelligence reports regarding Brown's plans received during the
weekend.
Nixon said that he had hoped to devote tonight's telecast to a
summary of the election issues. "I have found however that this cam-
paign of smears against me and abuse against my family has reached a
point where I no longer can ignore it," he said.
Nixon had scheduled a whirlwind series of stops at six key
Southern California campaign headquarters today. This was to climax
his border-to-border campaign. The final stop was to be Whittier,
Nixon's hometown.
Mrs. Nixon will substitute for the former Vice President to carry
out the schedule. In 14 years of campaigning this will mark the first
time Mrs. Nixon has substituted for her husband with the exception of
one appearance in 1956 when he was suffering from laryngitis.
The headquarters blitz will include stops at Culver City, 3890
Main Street at 9 AM; Lynwood, 11121 Long Beach Blvd. at 10:15 AM;
Compton, 735 E. Compton Blvd., 10:30 AM; Norwalk, 11802 Rosecrans Blvd.,
11:30 AM; and Whittier, 125 S. Greenleaf Street at 12:30 PM.
Efforts also were being made to arrange additional radio and
television time.

Superior Court Judge Kenneth Chantry today issued a restraining order
against the Democratic State Central Committee and its leaders from further dis-
tributing two anti-Nixon pieces of literature which allegedly violate the elec-
tions code.
The restraining order was issued after H. R. Haldeman, Campaign manager
of the Nixon-for-Governor Committee, filed a $2 million damage suit against the
Democratic State Committee and Eugene Wyman, Democratic State Chairman; Roger
Kent, Northern California Democratic Chairman; and Elizabeth Rudel Gatov, Demo-
cratic National Committeewoman.
Haldeman charged the Democrats with "a conspiracy to violate the elections
code and to distribute false election propaganda."
Haldeman declared: "The two papers in question are both smear sheets of
the sort typically used by a desperate campaign in its dying hours. The Brown
organization has gone to tremendous expense to print thousands of copies and hire
people to stuff them into mail boxes. If the material was really this important,
it is strange that distribution was delayed until the final days of the campaign.
"Jesse Unruh, Co-Chairman of the Get Out the Vote Committee of the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee will, I understand, be named as Doe #1 and also
restrained in this case since one of the smear sheets is being distributed with
Unruh's marked ballot which tries to tell people who to vote for in all the non-
partisan offices, such as judge, as well as how to vote on every proposition."

November 4, 1962
California is destined for greatness and Californians want to get moving again
toward that goal.
Our pride in our state and in our own abilities will not allow us to settle for
being second best in any area of achievement.
This is what this vital election campaign is all about--whether we will move
decisively to meet our appointment with progress or whether we will continue to
buy stand-still government in Sacramento.
During the past month I have put my goals for California and my program to real-
ize these goals up against my opponent's attitude of smugness with things as they
are.
The tremendous enthusiasm I have seen all over the state for my detailed four-
year programs for a greater California makes me supremely confident of victory
next Tuesday.
1. Jobs
My Goal: 1 million new jobs for Californians
My Program: Mobilize the talented manpower to aggressively sell our state's
great industrial advantages to outside business leaders in a "California Crusade
For New Business Investment."
Brown's Record: 44.8% rise in unemployment during the past 3 years.
2. Taxes
My Goal: No new taxes for the next four years and the hope of a tax reduction
by cutting the cost of government.
My Program: Cut government spending by $50 million next year and return Cali-
fornia to "pay-as-you-go" financing wherever possible.
-MORE-
2-2-2
Brown's Record: A $1 billion tax increase--the greatest state tax rise in the
history of the country and running on a platform that calls for $1.36 billion more
spending which means another $1 billion increase in taxes.
3. Government Costs
My Goal: Government that fulfills the necessary services for the least money--
and an end to waste, frills, and empire building.
My Program: Sound fiscal policies administered by the best men of experience
regardless of party and a constant serveillance of government operations to insure
efficiency.
Brown's Record: A $1 billion increase in state spending which has brought the
most expensive and burdensome government in the nation to California.
4. Crime
My Goal: The best record of crime fighting and crime prevention in the nation
including a 75% reduction in narcotics traffic.
My Program: Support for capital punishment including the death penalty for big
time dope peddlers. Full support for local law enforcement officers backed up by
strong legislation and a program of awards for excellence.
Brown's Record: The most major crimes in the nation according to the FBI and
opposition to capital punishment.
5. Communism
My Goal: Make California into a model of how to effectively fight communism on
the state level.
My Program: A statewide course of education on the high school level, under
local supervision, and with a multiple choice of textbooks. Also barring speakers
from tax-supported campuses who have refused to testify on communist activities be-
fore legislative committees or who have refused to register under the Subversive
Activities Control Act.
-MORE
3-3-3
Brown's Record: No new anti-subversive legislation. No program for future
action. At least eight speakers with subversive records on state university cam-
puses during his regime. No support for the Unruh Resolution to bar communists
from his party's organization.
6. Highway Safety
My Goal: A reduction of highway deaths by 20%.
My Program: Five major actions to keep drunk drivers off the highways and to
educate drivers.
Brown's Record: No support for Bob McCarthy's strong program for highway safe-
ty, which forced McCarthy to resign. The worst record of highway fatalities in the
nation.
7. Civil Defense
My Goal: The maximum protection of all Californians in the event of an enemy
attack.
My Program: Seven steps to give the state an effective shelter program in com-
munities, schools, state buildings and industries.
Brown's Record: While New York now has 100 times more protection than Californi,
the budget of our disaster office has been reduced by 20% and an incompetent direc-
tor has been appointed.
8. Education
My Goal: A top quality education for every child in California.
My Program: Actions to give greater financial support to local school districts
and Junior colleges. Accent on quality, including higher teacher's salary being
given precedent over frills in construction.
Brown's Record: Decrease financial support to local school districts that has
led to a crowded classroom situation that now challenges Mississippi and Louisiana
for the worst in the nation.
-MORE-
4-4-4
9. Freeways
My Goal: An expanded freeway system that reflects the wishes of local citizens
and communities.
My Program: Detailed guidelines and procedures to insure that local citizens
are given complete hearings by impartial examiners.
Brown's Record: An attitude of indifference to the wishes of local people that
has resulted in costly battles between the Highway Commission and communities through-
out the state.
10. Small Business
My Goal: The prosperity of small businesses
My Program: Simplification of state-required forms and reports, tax reforms,
actions to help develop credit and steps to get a fair share of state and federal
contracts for small businesses.
Brown's Record: Bureaucratic harrassment that has contributed to the worst re-
cord of business failures of all the major industrial states and the worst record of
bankruptcies in the cation.

Press Secretary
November 5, 1962
Telephone survey reports taken during the weekend confirm
a major swing of undecided voters to Richard M. Nixon in his race for governor,
it was reported Sunday by Herbert G. Klein, Nixon press secretary.
In his own comment, Nixon said:
"The only question in Tuesday's election is the size of the
victory. I am confident that I will win by a sizeable majority.
"The enthusiasm of our volunteers, both Democrats and
Republicans, and the dramatic swing of undecided voters as our campaign hits
its peak assures victory. From every county I have had reports that there will
be a heavy turnout of our voters, in most cases larger than in 1960. "
Tonight Nixon will bring his campaign to a dramatic climax
with a special statewide television program at 9:30 PM.
The program will originate in Los Angeles (KTTV Channel 11)
and will be carried live over a statewide network to San Francisco-Oakland
(KTVU Channel 2), San Diego (KFMB-TV Channel 8), Sacramento (KRCA-TV
Channel 3) and Fresno (KFRE-TV Channel 30).
"A statewide telephonic survey, including 310, 000 telephone
calls to Democrats, shows Nixon carrying 21. 8 percent of the Democrats who
list themselves as decided. It shows percentages of undecided ranging in varied
areas from nine to 19 percent, and it reveals heavy Democratic apathy for the
Brown campaign, " Klein said.
During this weekend the volunteers have made spot telephone
checks with 5500 of the undecided Democrats. They show a dramatic 3-1 swing
to Nixon, more than enough for a Nixon sweep Tuesday, " Klein said.
Calls made Sunday showed that the five-hour - Nixon telethon
Saturday night was the most significant single factor in swaying the undecided
voters into support of Nixon, according to H. R. Haldeman, Nixon campaign
manager, who directed the study.
"Rating surveys of the viewing audience for the telethon
showed it to be the largest ever to see a California political program, " Haldeman
said. "Four and three-quarter million Californians watched and listened to the
-more-
- 2 -
five hour telethon. "
Nixon chairmen were swamped with calls from volunteers
after the former Vice President's appeal for thousands of additional workers to
assist in the precincts Tuesday. Special preparations are being made to handle
the calls in the headquarters Monday morning, Haldeman said,
"The most used single comment our telephonic check found
regarding the telethon was that it presented "the kind of talk we have been want-
ing to hear on the issues instead of personalities." Haldeman reported.
During the weekend Nixon also received a "grass roots report"
from his committee of 27 Los Angeles County mayors, headed by Mayor Talmage
V. Burke of Alhambra.
"Our mayors are the best judges of the soundings in the local
precincts, Burke said. "My calls to them during the weekend brought predictions
that in every city covered, Nixon will lead his opponent by a larger margin than
in 1960, " Burke said.
"In their Sunday checks the mayors found a swing of undecided
voters to Nixon. They also found particular enthusiasm among their constituents
for the Nixon program of strong civil defense to end Sacramento indecisiveness
and for the strong Nixon law enforcement program. Our local police officers
need support from Sacramento to assist them in the war against crime, " Burke
said.
Nixon is scheduled today to make a tour of six Southern
California headquarters ending in his home town of Whittier.
The headquarters blitz will include stops at Culver City,
3890 Main Street, at 9 AM; Lynwood, 11121 Long Beach Boulevard at 10:15 AM;
Compton, 735 E. Compton Boulevard, 10:30 AM; Norwalk, 11802 Rosecrans
Boulevard, 11:30 AM; and Whittier, 125 S. Greenleaf Street at 12:30 PM.
During Nixon's border-to-border campaign he will have
travelled 30,690 miles and personally addressed 621, 000 voters. He has made
38 walkathons through shopping centers, factories, downtown streets, the Los
Angeles produce market and varied farm centers.

STATE SENATOR JOHN F. MC CARTHY
November 5, 1962
State Senator John F. McCarthy, Republican Senate leader, today
predicted an overwhelming victory for Richard Nixon in the Tuesday
election for the governorship of California.
McCarthy said, "I have just completed a series of calls through-
out the state to candidates running for the state Assembly and Senate,
their reaction and observation to Mr. Nixon's campaign was one of
confidence and victory.
"They all indicated there is tremendous enthusiam among the
workers in their areas and a great desire to get the vote out on
election day for Richard Nixon and the entire Republican ticket.
McCarthy said he "also based his prediction on the intensiveness
of the campaign Richard Nixon has waged, the number of personal con-
tacts he has made, and the tremendous response of the crowds he has
addressed in every corner of the state. In every city where both can-
didates have appeared and there is valid ground for comparison, Nixon
crowds have been at least three times larger than those of Governor
Brown.
"Just as importantly, I base my prediction of victory on the fact
that Richard Nixon is offering California, soon to be the first state
in the nation, a first rate program for sound government --a program
for progress based on experience and leadership -- leadership which
this state needs so badly and the people of California want," McCarthy
said.
Taking note of a California opinion poll which shows Brown leading
over Nixon, McCarthy said, "This is the same poll which wrongly pre-
dicted President Kennedy would win in California in 1960."

(Betty Williams, MA 5-1251)
FOR A.M.'s SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1962
Assemblyman Harold K. Levering today said he planned to "bring
to the attention of the Legislature instances of shady State leasing practices.
"There is considerable evidence that in the leasing of private
property for state use, the State has largely ignored the principle of
competitive bidding, and has leased some facilities on the basis of political
favoritism," Levering said.
A member of the Republican "Truth Squad" commenting on the Brown
Administration, Levering said he planned to bring "this new evidence of
government by crony" to the attention of the voters.
Levering cited as an example the leasing of land and a building
constructed to state specifications in the city of Hawthorne, home of Lt. Gov.
Glenn Anderson, for the State Department of Vehicles.
Levering said the lease given to the Village Realty Company, Los
Angeles, "will cost the state about $20,000 more over its 10-year duration
than another lower and better offer which was rejected."
He said the lease went to an A. Edward Schiesel "in a mysterious
series of circumstances. The State Department of Finance recommended against
a $990 a month lease to Schiesel as being 'excessive and unrealistic.'
"Later, Schiesel wrote a letter to the office of Gov. Edmund G.
Brown saying "the Governor should be apprised of unrealistic approaches," and
pointed out that he "chauffeured" Brown around Los Angeles during his campaign
for Attorney General and was "a founding member" of the District Democratic
machinery.
"In three months, the judgement of the Department of Finance was
over-turned and Schiesel got the lease signed Aug. 31, 1961, despite the fact
(MORE)
that George L. Greziadio, Jr. had made a lower bid of $950 a month in offering
property with more acceptable facilities," Levering said.
"Not only was the lease granted to the less-than-best bidder, but
Schiesel was permitted to change his case three months laters to make
necessary corrections enabling him to meet the state's specifications.
"Then Schiesel sold his property and lease to the Franklin Life
Insurance Co. for $80,000, a profit in excess of $30,000," Levering said.
He said, of this is fact, and I can prove it. I call on the state
administration now to stop the political handling of state business and
return these matters to the proper competitive bidding procedures."

Paul W. Johnson, Sr., President of Local 1553 of the Electronics and Space
Technicians Union, today was named Chairman of Richard M. Nixon's Labor
Committee.
Johnson said, "Dick Nixon holds the promise of breaking the chains threat-
ening to strangle organized labor in California, and has my unqualified endorse-
ment for the office of governor in the November 6 election."
Johnson's union, largest local of the International Carpenters Union,
AFL-CIO, is the bargaining unit for 15,000 aerospace workers in Southern
California.
At the same time, Clayton Thomason, business agent for the Scenic and
Title Artists, Local 816, was named to Johnson's Labor Steering Committee.
Johnson said organized labor is caught in the "steel-cold grip of a ram-
rodding federal government," while Governor Brown stands by in "weak-kneed
indifference."
"This icy grip is choking the future of organized labor and threatens
to make free collective bargaining a hollow shell, with terms dictated by a
handful of non-workers who know more about what's best for us than we do,"
Johnson said.
"Richard Nixon can and will reverse this dangerous trend, returning
collective bargaining to its rightful position in our democratic structure,"
he said.

Johnson said another reason for his decision to support Nixon was
"Brown's inaction" in the legislature that resulted in the death of a Defense
Production Act provision.
"Brown could have broken the stalemate and women in bargaining units
in the defense industry would have been permitted to work overtime if and
when it was available," he said.
Instead, Johnson said, "Brown's shortsightedness resulted in the death
of a defense provision designed for just such a situation as the present
Cuban crisis if a defense speed-up were to be ordered."
Johnson said, "Dick Nixon has assured me personally that if he is
elected he will do all in his power to return to all women the right to
compete with men for overtime and in other categories on an equal basis."

The poll was taken Thursday and Friday of last week among 65% of

William H. Ware, Democratic candidate for Secretary of State who got 400,000 votes

Ware said, "I am pleased to support Richard Nixon as the man I feel can put the

and break the hold of the California Democratic Council (CDC) on the Democratic Party

Ware, who opposed Don Rose in the Democratic Primary for Secretary of State,
said "we must return California politics to those candidates selected by a bona-fide
draft of the people rather than those selected by a boss-ridden machine.
"I am one who knows," Ware said. "Any candidate who does not have the blessing
of the CDC is marked to receive the cold shoulder from the Democratic machine and
almost always is beaten."
"By its deeds, the CDC has become an organization that is not good for the
Democratic Party -- an organization whose principles and pronouncements must be re-
jected. This can only be done by massive repudiation at the polls," Ware said.
He said, "candidates endorsed by the CDC are obligated to follow the council's
policies after election.
"For Governor Brown, Controller Alan Cranston, Attorney General Mosk and State
Senator Richard Richards to repudiate some of the positions of the CDC without rejec-
ting its support and endorsement is not good enough.
"We must stop the CDC right now by rejecting it completely. This is why I urge

Richard Nixon announced today he will interrupt his campaign schedule Saturday
to make a special statement to the people of California concerning the Cuban crisis.
The former Vice President will make a half-hour television address from San
Diego. It will be carried in the Los Angeles area on Station KTTV (Channel 11) at
8 P.M.; in the San Diego area on Station KFMB-TV (Channel 8) at 9:30 P.M., and in
the San Francisco-Oakland area on KTVU (Channel 2) at 9:30 P.M.
"I will have a statement of major importance regarding Cuba," Nixon said. "I
am directing it to the people of the state through a special network because of the
urgency of the situation."
On September 18, Nixon called a press conference in Los Angeles to urge Presi-
dent Kennedy to take stronger action against Cuba. He pledged to support "any
action that he (the President) considered necessary to contain a communist beach-
head in Cuba."
At the time, Nixon said: "There is always the danger of war in taking any
strong action in dealing with an aggressor, but there is a certainty of war, in my
opinion, if you do not act until the beachhead has been built to a greater point
We can't wait to let the dust settle in Cuba."

November 3, 1962
I am today issuing a call, through the 211 Nixon Headquarters, for 20,000
additional volunteers to join the 100,000 Californians who are freely giving their time
on election day to get out the vote and watch the polls.
This is my answer to my opponents' desperate and cynical efforts to buy the
election with a $500,000 slush fund for election day workers.
Only desperate men would ever attempt to buy botes. Only cynical men would
ever believe that the governorship of California is for sale.
They will find out on November 6th that the peoples' birthright is not, has
never been and will never be put on the auction block.
The story of the half-million dollar election day kitty, just reported by
"Newsweek", is now confirmed by newspaper advertisements. My opponents have been
reduced to seeking supporters through classified ads for "Help Wanted".
I am proud that every worker I will have on lection day will be a volunteer.
And a person who works for his beliefs will always out-produce one who is paid to
believe.
I know that the four volunteer workers we expect to have in every precinct in
the State will never be topped by those who are simply out for the money they can get.
This is another reason why I confidently predict an overwhelming victory
next Tuesday.

RICHARD NIXON
October 28, 1962
San Diego
October 27, 1962
The Cuban crisis points up the fact that Californians must
have an accelerated and improved Civil Defense program.
As I said in a major speech in San Diego in October, 1961, our
goal as the first state in the nation, must be to have the best
program in the nation to assure the safety of all our citizens in
the event of a nuclear attack.
The existing program in New York demonstrates what decisive
leadership from the Governor's office can accomplish. In every
area of Civil Defense preparations, we now lag way behind New
York. As we pass New York in population, every Californian also
wants to pass New York in Civil Defense and all other areas of
vital concern,
I want to make it clear that under no circumstances should we
have a "panic" program. Nothing could be more foolish than for
people to rush out and buy inadequate shelters for their back
yards.
Therefore, to assure the safety of all Californians, this is
the seven-point action program I will take as Governor to improve
Civil Defense and to provide maximum protection within the re-
sources we have available.
1. School Shelters
I will askthe Legislature to permit the use of school bonds
for building dual purpose shelters in public schools.
Under this plan, it will be financially possible to design
and construct gymnasiums and other school buildings so that they
can protect our children in the event of attack.
2, Community Shelters
I will work with the local communities to revise building
codes and specifications to permit community shelter construction.
- More -
- 2 -
I will also encourage communities to build shelters as vol-
untary group projects. A Gallup Poll in December, 1961, showed
that the public is willing to support such community efforts.
Sixty-two percent said they would be "willing to work a day or two
on weekends" and 19% said they would be willing to "give one or
two days pay. "
3. Shelters in State Buildings
Whenever possible, I will see that shelters are made a part
of the design of new state buildings.
I will also encourage local governments to incorporate
shelters in their building plans.
4. Shelters in Industry
In all parts of the country, business leaders have been study-
ing programs to provide shelters for their workers. Many have
already made important contributions to assure the safety of
their workers in the event of attack.
Strong, dynamic leadership from the Governor's office will
greatly accelerate such programs.
5. Stocking of Shelters
We must immediately see that all existing shelters are
stocked with a minimum two week supply of canned food, fresh water
and medical supplies.
Where it is found that such supplies are now sitting in
Federal warehouses, we must take prompt action to have them moved
into designated shelter areas. We should survey other possible
storage areas.
6. Public Information and Training
We must speed up our public information and training program.
The first Annual Report of the California Disaster Office,
published in 1959, called for a program "to train and educate
every Californian in what he should do to protect himself and his
family during any kind of disaster.'
Two years later, at the end of June, 1961, only one
Californian out of every 5,000 had aken the prescribed 12 hour
adult education course. This was one-fourth of the national aver-
age on a per capita basis.

- 3 -
7. Shelter Standards and False Advertising
We must have strict enforcement of both shelter standards
and advertising standards to prevent people from being misled in
the highly technical field of shelter construction.
A year ago, the Attorney General had to investigate fifty
cases of suspected fraud in construction, design or advertising.
This sort of callous deception can be prevented by having the
Disaster Office carefully define and strictly enforce the terms
that can be used in advertising shelters.

FCR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Cerretes beloge
7i AM's
The statements by Mr. Brown that California's Civil Defense program is
unexcelled" in the nation and that it is safe to say that the state of California is
substantially the leader among the 50 states" in civil defense are shocking attempts
to hoodwink the people of California into a false sense of security.
These are the most cynically false statements he has made in his entire
career as Governor of this States
The truth is that Mr. Brown's record in civil defense is one of personal
confusion, vacillation and failure to back up his public statements with action.
California, instead of leading the nation in civil defense as we should because of our
concentration of defense industries, has one of the most inadequate civil defense
programs of all the industrial states.
This is why I have proposed a positive seven-point program to close the
serious civil defense gap that has developed during Mr. Brown's administration.
Here is the major 14 charge indictment of Brown's conduct in failing to
assure the safety of all our citizens in the event of nuclear attack.
1. During the Brown administration, the state budget for the California
Disaster Office has been reduced by 20%.
2. Brown's budgetary requests and appropriated budgets for the California
Disaster Office have been lower than under the two preceding state administrations.
3. Under Brown, in 1960 the Civil Defense budget dropped below $1 million
for the first time since 1951.
4. The extent of Brown's concern for the civil defense protection of
California, as reflected in the budget of the California Disaster Cffice, amounts to
5.9 cents per person.
5. Brown has entrusted the direction of California's Civil Defense to a man
- More -
- 2
who (a) has no background or training in civil defense (he is a former New York
advertising man); (b) has a real estate business on the side while receiving $17, 640 a
year from the state; (c) has mired the Civil Defense program in partisan politics
and is presently under investigation by the United States Civil Service Commission.
6. New York, with the same population, is outspending California for civil
defense protection by at least 100 to 1.
7. While California has made virtually no progress in shelter construction,
this is New York's record:
(a) Shelters now in 80% of New York's state armories;
(b) Shelters now in five out of six state police barracks;
(c) Shelters now in the plans for all new New York state university
buildings;
(d) Shelters now in the plans for all new state buildings in New York;
(e) An average of two to three contracts signed each day for shelters
within the past year in New York.
8. In the first two years under Brown, only 3, 526 people had taken the
prescribed adult course in civil defense, while in New York 180, 000 people completed
the course in one year alone.
9. Brown's attitude of "let Washington do it" has allowed our state to go
unprotected while he waits in vain for Federal action.
(a) On October 17, 1961, he said, "I will continue to develop our state
position so that when there is Federal funding we are ready to use
it.
the shelter problem for communities is a responsibility of
the Federal Government. i.
(b) As recently as July, 1962, the Director of the California Disaster
Office reported Brown's attitude was still that no emergency actions
should be taken pending the development of federal plans. He said,
It would be improper to spend state dollars for programs the
Federal Government might duplicate."
10. In 1960, Brown appointed a State Shelter Study Committee, which made
seven recommendations that require state action. By the time of the Cuban crisis
last week, there was little if any implementation on five of these seven important
recommendations.
11. In 1961, Brown participated in a meeting of the Governor's Civil Defense
Committee that called on all Governors to take five Civil Defense actions. Yet he
has taken no significant action in California in any of these areas.
- More -
- 3
12. Brown's reorganization of State government has placed an added layer
of bureaucracy between the Governor and the California Disaster Office.
13. In the 1961 legislative session, Brown's lack of leadership resulted in
the failure of seven out of eight civil defense measures.
14. Brown has been totally ineffective in showing any Civil Defense leader-
ship in his party's councils:
(a) His Speaker of the Assembly fought for the complete elimination
of the budget for the California Disaster Office in 1960.
(b) The California Young Democrats' Convention condenined the entire
Federal fall-out shelter program.
(c) The Northern California ADA Chapter called on Brown to exclude
Civil Defense from the special session of the Legislature in 1962.

Statement Haldeman by
RELEASE:
Mr. Elwood Wilson,
Past President,
California Citizens Freeway Association
"In a recent letter to The Citizens' Freeway Association,
Governor Brown claimed that his administration can take pride
in the way freeways have been located in the past four years.
He said:
'It is always easy to find the shortest, lowest-cost
route, but this is only the beginning point. I can't
think of a freeway which has been located during the
four years of my term without considering other
values such as economic benefits, the character of the
community, park and school influences, the number of
improvements taken, the number of families displaced,
historic structures or areas, if any, to be affected,
esthetic and other elements. There may be some such
short route in rural areas but, none come to mind in
built-up areas or recreational areas.'
"This statement is clearly false. Brown's record proves it false.
Citizens of Chico, Monterey, Rincon, Tuolumne County, San
Francisco, Fremont and countless other communities, know that
Mr. Brown is not telling the truth.
- 2 -
"The fact is that Governor Brown has been completely
indifferent to the cries of citizens, cities, counties and
colleges who have been trampled on by the state's freeway
engineers.
"He says the situation is beyond his ability to control.
That I believe.
"But a governor who is willing to take the responsibility
can prevent freeways from destroying historic campuses like
Mills College; a decisive governor can strongly represent the
desires of all the people in demanding that local community plans
be honored and considered by the engineers, before land is
condemned and buildings are demolished.
"The record shows the governor's administration has not
given the problem of freeway location the kind of attention it
deserves. The following are a few of the flagrant cases that
have been placed before him. He has neglected to lift his
finger on behalf of any of those who petitioned him:
"1. Chico: Brown refused to help prevent a freeway
from plowing a wide swath through the center of a
fine, historic recreational park.
"2. Monterey: Instead of helping, Brown threatens to
take the 'state money' to another part of the
state if the local citizens don't stop protesting
- 3 -
"a huge freeway interchange (one of six in five
miles) called 'the can of worms' that would
eradicate a fine private school (attended by the
governor's daughter), a beautiful lagoon, and a
sizable segment of this historic city -- on a free-
way that runs out into the country and stops in the
middle of nowhere.
"3. Rincon: Brown washed his hands of a citizens'
plea to avoid a freeway location that would have
needlessly destroyed fine homes, in a location
opposed by the supervisors and planning commissioners
of two counties. The citizens won their fight, but
no thanks to the head-in-the-sand tactics of
Mr. Brown.
"4. Mills College: Thousands of Californians have been
dismayed to learn that a slice of this beautiful,
80 year old campus is to become a freeway. Trucks
will rumble within a few feet of Mills' music build-
ing. This needless waste of our educational re-
sources has been brought to Brown's attention
repeatedly, but he's still hoping the problem will
go away and leave him alone.
"And the same pattern of Brown indifference is seen in
freeway controversies in Sacramento, San Francisco and forty (40)
other places.
"Is it true that the governor's office is powerless to
help?
Location of freeways is up to the Highway Commission, but
it is everybody's business, including the governor's. The
Commissioners are governor-appointed. The governor should speak
up for the people in these cases. When Brown does not, he does
not serve the people.
- 4 -
"California's governor should seek legislation to
correct these abuses permanently. Brown will not; he has said
and proved that Democratic Senator Collier and the Highway
Commission are in full control as far as he is concerned. He
has silently permitted corrective legislation to be watered
down or killed in the past.
"California's governor must be vitally interested in
preventing further damage to the face of our state. The governor
can do much to make this à better place to live, to preserve
neighborhoods, schools, parks and natural beauty.
"An indifferent governor has done much to lose them in the
past four years.
"His false claims to the contrary will be disbelieved by
every citizen who looks about him."

RICHARD NIXON
October 20, 1962
Mr. James T. Lindsey
President
California Citizens Freeway Association
Suite 302
Granada Building
Santa Barbara, California
Dear Mr. Lindsey:
It is a pleasure to give you my answers to
the four questions of interest to the members of the
California Citizens Freeway Association.
As you know, I have spoken in detail on
these questions on my telethons throughout the state
and in a major address, "The Face of California,"
which was broadcast on October 14. I would be de-
lighted to make the full text of this radio program
available to any of your members who may not be
familiar with its contents.
The basic premise of my transportation
program is that Californians deserve dynamic leader-
ship that will preserve and improve the natural and
man-made beauty of our state. One important reason
why over 1,000 people a day move to California is that
our state is a pleasant place to live. California state
government has the obligation to see that it remains SO.
The state must not be indifferent to the wishes
of our local communities when choosing locations and
designs of its freeways and other structures. The
Governor does not have to live with a state-built eye-
sore, but the local people do. Therefore, such factors
as the character of a community must be considered in
this far-reaching state program.
Now, in answer to your specific questions.
Question 1.
I believe, and have repeatedly stated,
that local people must have a greater
voice in all freeway issues that inti-
mately affect their lives.
To achieve this goal, I have outlined
six exact guidelines for government to
follow and five specific procedures on
freeway construction.
Question 2.
These are the six questions or guide-
lines that must be given greater con-
sideration in weighing the pros and
cons of a proposed freeway with regard
to both location and design:
(1) How will the freeway affect homes,
neighborhoods and communities?
(2) How will the freeway affect individual
property values, personal income,
and farm lands?
(3) How will the freeway affect the tax
revenue of local governments?
(4) How will the freeway affect the scenic
beauty of an area?
(5) How will the freeway affect existing
recreational areas and historic land-
marks?
(6) How will the freeway tie in with regional
and local comprehensive plans?
These are five procedures to insure that
local people get full and fair consideration:
1. Hearings at the locale of the proposed
project, after adequate notice, should
be conducted by an impartial examiner.
2. Hearings should be conducted with the
same regard for due process of law that
we have in our court rooms.
3. No rights-of-way should be condemned
until a highway project has received
final approval.
4. Threats of withdrawal of highway funds
or promises of extra highway expendi-
tures must not be used to solicit local
agreement for freeway routing.
5. No funds for any highway public rela-
tions activities other than purely informa-
tional programs should be authorized.
Question 3.
While I resist turning the Highway Com-
mission into a political football, and favor
keeping the Commission removed from
partisan politics, I believe that the Legis-
lature can responsibly examine its opera-
tions and make appropriate recommendations.
Question 4.
As Governor, I will carefully consider any
legislative proposal regarding our freeway
system and will take whatever action I feel
is necessary, in the best interests of
the people of California and within my
constitutional authority, to implement
the policy I have set forth in Question 2.
In conclusion, let me assure all your mem-
bers that as Governor I look forward to four years of
mutual respect and cooperation with the California
Citizens Freeway Association.
Sincerely,
Richard Nixon

Mr. James T. Lindsey, President
California Citizens Freeway Association
Suite 302
Granada Building
Santa Barbara, California
Dear Mr. Lindsey:
I am happy to have your recent letter asking me to answer four
questions.
May I say at the outset that through our current hearing procedures
we try hard to draw the public in our freeway planning process, and
I appreciate the interest of your group in the total highway program.
Here are the questions you asked and my answers:
1. Question: Are you willing to allow to the local
authorities more voice in disputed freeway designs
and locations?
Answer: Certainly I am, if an orderly process could
be adopted on a Statewide basis. To make such a revi-
sion in procedure workable, we would require the
support and concurrence of the League of California
Cities and the County Supervisors' Association. My
Public Works people have been working with these
Associations for many months on possible constructive
improvements in the Federal-State-local partnership
here in California. If any such changes required
revision in the law, of course the Legislature would
have to make that decision.
2. Question: Do you recognize that there are other com-
munity values to be considered besides distances,
speed and lowest cost?
Answer: Of course I do. It is always easy to find
the shortest, lowest-cost route, but this is only the
beginning point. I can't think of a freeway which has
been located during the four years of my term without
considering other values such as economic benefits,
the character of the community, park and school influ-
ences, the number of improvements taken, the number of
families displaced, historic structures or areas, if
any, to be affected, esthetics and other elements.
There may be some such short routes in rural areas but,
none come to mind in built-up areas or recreational
areas.

3. Question: If reelected, would you urge the legislature
to examine the operation of the Highway Commission in
fixing freeway locations and designs?
Answer: As you probably know, I did this last April
in a letter to both Houses of the Legislature, which
was released to the press. You know that the Legis-
lature now has continuing committees on transporta-
tion and highways, and this is one of their continuing
responsibilities.
4.
Question: If such investigation showed basis for com-
plaints made against the Highway Commission, would you
urge remedial legislation?
Answer: Yes.

I predict that in the next five days my opponents will launch the most massive
campaign of fear and smear in the history of California elections.
Having been informed by their pollsters that they are now running behind and
seeing that their workers are apathetic and they cannot attract crowds they are re-
sorting to a desperate last minute scare campaign.
I have been conducting my campaign on the issues. Up and down the state I have
been presenting my 21 detailed "Programs for a Greater California."
But it is time to fight back and rip off the grotesque Holloween mask that my
opponents have designed to frighten the voters.
Based on a detailed analysis of 4,400 questions that were telephoned to me on
my six telethons, here are seven lies that are being used in a statewide attempt to
scare the voters with a phony chamber of horrers. From the similar wording and fre-
quency pattern it is clear that this whispering campaign is being planned and exe-
cuted by professional hatchetmen.
Lie 1: They attempt to scare union members by manufacturing the lie that I sup-
port right-to-work laws.
Lie 2: They attempt to scare old people by manufacturing the lie that I will
cut off pension.
Lie 3: They attempt to scare defense workers by manufacturing the lie that the
state will loose contracts when I am elected.
Lie 4: They attempt to scare the blind by manufacturing the lie that I will
abolish their public assistence.
Lie 5: They attempt to scare parents and teachers by manufacturing the lie that
I will be a dictator over local school districts.
Lie 6: They attempt to scare the news media by manufacturing the lie that I am
for suspension of the prèss.
Lie 7: They attempt to scare state career employees by manufacturing the lie
that I am going to fire them.
It is the cheapest sort of Tammany Hall tactics to run a campaign to lead the
first state in the nation like a kid's game of trick or treat.
But Californians will be no more frightened by this kind of grotesque behavior
than they are by the ghosts and goblins that will appear on this Holloween night.

October 31, 1962
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The most striking proof of the need for a "California Crusade for New Business
Investment," a proposal I have made repeatedly in the campaign, is a new state pam-
phlet on plant expansion.
This document is entitled "California Million Dollar Plus New Plant Expansion
Announcement." It is published by Mr. Brown's Economic Development Agency. It is
being sent out with each copy of the "1962 California Statistical Abstract." And
it is loaded with phony statistics, gross misrepresentations, complete lies and half-
truths.
Mr. Brown's agency has been. in existence since 1959 and has had a total budget
of $757,844. Yet it cannot point to a single new business it has brought into the
state. And to cover its sorry record, it now resorts to fakery and falsification.
Mr. Brown's publication lists 35 new plant expansions for the third quarter of
1962. Here are the facts behind this smog-screen of smug statistics:
--Nearly half of these "expansions" will employ no new workers or are gross
misrepresentations.
--11 of these "expansions" will not add a single new job.
--Five of these "expansions" are either complete lies or half-truths.
Here are three specific cases of Brown's so-called "expansions."
1. Anchor Hocking Glass Corporation (San Leandro)
Brown's Claim: A $1,000,000 expansion that will employ an additional 100 workers.
Fact: Company officials state that expansion plans have been shelved indefinitely.
2. Dow Chemical Company (Fresno)
-MORE-
2-2-2
Brown's Claim: "Company will build a plastic facility."
Fact: Company officials state that there has been no Fresno expansion in two-
and-one-half years and none is planned.
3. Crown Zellerbach Corporation (Ventura)
Brown's Claim: "Company announced plans to construct multi-million dollar
paper manufacturing facility on recently purchased 122 acres."
Fact: Company officials emphatically deny any such announcement. They state
they have never announced any expansion in Ventura and they have never bought the
land. They are planning expansions -- but not in California.
This sort of deliberate distortion is a disgrace to state government and a dis-
service to California.
Californians need jobs, not press agentry. Today the state is getting only half
the new investment needed to create all the jobs our people must have. Today New York
with the same population, is starting or expanding three times as many plants as we
are.
This situation calls for a big league team to get us back in the ball game.
This is why I will mobilize the talented manpower to aggressively sell the tremendous
industrial advantages of California to out of state business leaders.
This is why I will see that job-producing industries are not sand bagged by
skyrocketing taxes. And this is why I will end anti-business harassment in Sacramento.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Merritt K. Ruddock, Belvedere, chairman of the Northern
California Democrats for Nixon, today said there was nothing spu-
rious or reckless about Mr. Nixon's call for all Californians to
support President Kennedy in this time of national urgency.
Mr. Brown has conveniently forgotten the April 20th Nixon
meeting with the president of the Cuban build-up and again his
September 18th press conference on the communist menace in Cuba.
Governor Brown pooh-poohed these statements as campaign
oratory and he continues in this vein in his latest charge of parti-
san politics by Mr. Nixon when he speaks out on the Cuban crisis
to bring the benefit of his experience with Communism to Califor-
nians. Mr. Nixon's words impressed Democrats, Republicans and
Independents alike as an eloquent and timely call for calm, reason-
ing and unified support at a time when Governor Brown was taking a
Cuban cram course hoping to learn the difference between Cuba and
Catalina.
These early warnings demonstrate the realism in Mr. Nixon's
view of the Communist menace be it state, national or international.
It emphasisizes his experienced talents in dealing with the Commu-
nist and left wing sympthaizers.
"This is one mcre important piece of proof that Richard
Nixon's approach is realistic and his experience had prepared him
fully to deal with this kind of problem in this state.

"Governor Brown is not unpatriotic," Ruddock asserted, "but he cer-
tainly is naive when it comes to national and international matters that have
almost a minute-to-minute impact on California, its industry, its citizens and
its future."
"Instead, Brown is the epitome of instant indecision on matters
affecting us at home and abroad," Ruddock said.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Z. Wayne Griffin, chairman of the Southern California Democrats for
Nixon said that Covernor Brown is trying to compare his own briefing on the
Cuban crisis with Richard Nixon's 14 years of state, national and international
experience.
"Prown charged Mr. Nixon with harping on national affairs when he
should have been talking state issues. But when California's attention turned to
the Cuban crisis, Brown suddenly found it expedient to become a 24-hour authority
on international affairs," Griffin declared.
"Brown, in trying to downgrade Mr. Nixon's statements on Cuba shows
completely how unaware he was urtil the disaster broke over our heads. He has
used a cheap political attack," Griffin said, "in a situation that calls for wise,
calm wisdom rather than irresponsible political statements such as those issued
by Governor Brown."
As far back as April 20th, Richard Nixon warned of the Soviet infiltra-
tion into Cuba, Until now, Governor Brown has dismissed it as 'campaign talk.'
"I am shocked that Brown would label Nixon's statements on the Cuban
crisis as 'campaign oratory,' particularly when the President has called for unity
among our citizens.
"Brown is obviously attempting to conceal his own inadequacy on national
affairs," Griffin said.

Democrats for Nixon today challenged Governor Brown to name those
Democratic candidates for whom he said he was not campaigning.
"This is a remarkable statement," said 2. Wayne Griffin of Los Angeles,
chairman of the Democrats for Nixon Committee. "It deserves amplification."
Brown made the statement recently in reply to a question at a Los
Angeles luncheon. The Governor said: "It troubles me that there is so much
partisanship in the world today. I used to be a Republican and I have voted
for Republicans. I'm not campaigning for all Democrats. But don't ask me who
they are. I won't tell you."
Said Mr. Griffin: "I am also troubled about the amount of partisanship
exhibited today. That is why an increasing number of Democrats such as myself
have decided to vote for the best man for Governor, Richard M. Nixon.
"However, as the leader of his party in California, Governor Brown has
an obligation to announce the names of those Democratic candidates for whom he
will not campaign and why he has decided not to do so.
"The record shows that Governor Brown is supporting the candidacies of
John A. O'Connell and Phillip Burton, both of San Francisco. These men are
leftwing extremists. They both participated in the events which led to the
notorious San Francisco riots of 1960. Yet Governor Brown has announced he is
supporting them 'unequivocally.'
"These questions, therefore, must be asked: Is Governor Brown giving
similar unequivocal support to the conservative candidates of his party? Does
he intend to campaign for them?"

STATEMENT BY HARRY KEATON,
For Immediate Release
President, Young Republicans of California
Press Conference
October 31, 1962
A reform program to get politics out of the handling of the state's business
California must have a program designed to remove political pressure
and favoritism from the state's business. Each year the state enters into contracts
for goods and services involving many hundreds of millions of dollars. Each year
numerous franchises worth millions of dollars to the recipients are granted by the
State of California. The decisions made by state officials and employees in entering
into such contracts and granting such franchises must be free from political
pressures to the greatest extent possible.
Unfortunately today far too often decisions appear to be based on factors
removed from the actual merits. In too many cases our fine state employees have
no protection from actual or potential pressure by political friends of the adminis-
tration. Existing statutes fail to protect the public adequately against conflicts of
interest affecting those who handle the public's business.
Governor Brown has closed his eyes to this problem. He has permitted
it to grow to monstrous proportions. His only answer to exposure of conflicts
of interest or political favoritism seems to be that it is none of his business.
Because of the size of our population and the enormous influx of new residents, the
problem is far greater in this state than in any other.
California needs a Governor who makes it his business to see to it that
state contracts are made on the merits and franchises of all sorts granted in full
public view. We cannot wait until the legal but unethical conduct of today becomes
the scandal of tomorrow. Because of these facts, a group of attorneys has drafted
the following proposal of a reform program to get politics out of the state's
business. This program has been worked out with, and has the full approval of,
Richard Nixon.
If implemented, we are convinced that it will make California first in
the nation in honest administration free to the greatest extent possible from
political considerations.
Two major problem areas must be tackled:
1.
Protecting and immunizing from political pressures or
threats state employees who make decisions on such matters
as government contracts and granting of various types of
franchises.
2.
Preventing the existence of any conflict between the interests
-2-
of the state in matters handled by state officers and em-
ployees, and the personal interests of such officers and
employees.
We propose the establishment of a blue ribbon commission appointed by
the Governor composed of outstanding citizens assisted by the finest experts in
this field that can be found in California aswell as throughout the nation to draft a
comprehensive program for the solution of these problems.
The following are among objectives for the Commission:
1.
Decisions on granting of government contracts and
franchises based on specific objective standards.
2.
Prohibition of secret approaches of government officials
and employees by persons seeking favors in the granting of
contracts or franchises.
3.
Decisions relating to the granting of contracts and franchises
made publicly, based on the record and not at secret
meetings with interested parties.
4.
Disclosure by top level state officers of personal business
interests or outside employment which could affect their
official decision or efficiency.
5.
Disclosure, or prohibition, of loans by government
contractors to state officials or to the campaigns of
candidates for statewide office.
6.
A new efficient and effective State Corrupt Practices Act
which will be a model for the other states to follow.
Among those participating in the preparation of this material are the
following: Robert D. Burch, Vincent C. Page, Myrl R. Scott, Clifford R.
Anderson, Jr., Harry Keaton.
MEMO TO THE PRESS
Harry Keaton, Fresident of the California Young Republicans, will
hold a press conference at 1:00 p.m., Wednesday, October 31, in
the Press Room of the Ambassador Hotel.
Mr. Keaton will present a specific and constructive program to
provide safeguards against political influences in the handling
of the state's business.
The program presented by Mr. Keaton will be of major importance
to the gubernatorial campaign.

FOR REIEASE TO
WEDNESDAY AM's
November 1, 1962
I call on Mr. Brown to immediately dismiss Allan K. Jonas, Director of the
California Disaster Office, for gross negligence that potentially endangers the lives
of 17,000,000 Californians.
Over a year ago, on October 17, 1961, Mr. Jonas reported that California would
6
be "completely naked", if an enemy chose to attack. A year later, when confronted
by a serious world crisis, it became obvious that under Mr. Jonas' direction this
,serious situation is virtually unchanged.
Although California is a major target because of our defense industry, this is
the situation today, as reported by responsible newspapers throughout the state!
--In Los Angeles, the City Director of Civil Defense reports he has received
no instructions from the California disaster office. His exact words are, "I have
had no word from them whatsoever."
--In Alameda County, according to the Oakland Tribune (10/29), "The unready
status of Alameda County CivilDefense as far as public protection is concerned, was
boiled down to a chilling truth yesterday; everyman for himself."
--In the city of San Bernardino, the San Bernardino Sun (10/24), reports there
are only three marked shelters that will accommodate 675 of the city's 95,000 resi-
dents. And the shelters are not stocked with food, water, medical, sleeping facili-
ties. The city's sirens will only reach 30% of the people.
--In Los Angeles, most of the 307 buildings certified as fallout shelters are
reported as unmarked, unsupplied and unusable for that purpose.
-MORE-
-2-2
Only two are stocked with food, water and other supplies deemed adequate to
ustain the indicated numbers of refugees for two weeks.
--In the city of Alameda, with a population of 63,855, the city manager re-
)orts that only five buildings, accommodating 996 people, have been designated as
shelters.
--In Bakersfield, the San Francisco Chronicle reports there have been serious
runs on guns, ammunition and food. Similar runs on fire arms were reported in the
San Fernando Valley. And near panic occurred in Loc Angeles grocery stores.
--After surveying civil defense preparations, the Los Angeles Times (10/24)
concludes "the best advise for most residents who have no private shelters is
'stay home' and pray.' "
--In the whole state, according to William Ward of the California Disaster
office, there are only 1200 licensed public shelters. None of them have been
stocked with food, medical supplies and water with the exception of some test shel-
ters in Sacramento, Long Beach and Los Angeles.
Under Mr. Jonas' direction, California is, in his own words, "completely
naked." Strong leadership could have given the people the protection they deserve,
just as it has in New York and other states.
This critical situation caunot wait until a new governor replaces Mr. Jonas.
He must be removed from office now. California needs a full-time Civil Defense
director. Yet, Mr. Jonas, who receives $17,640 a year from the state, also runs a
private real estate business in Inglewood.
California needs a Civil Defense director with experience and knowledge in
this field. Yet, Mr. Jonas is a former New York advertising man with absolutely
no background in Civil Defense.
California needs a Civil Defense director who is above partisan politics.
Yet, Mr. Jonas is presently under investigation by the Federal Government for pos-
sible violation of the Hatch Act because of his political activities.

GOP TRUTH SQUAD
Senator John F. McCarthy, Chairman
Don Frey - 315 West Ninth Street
Los Angeles 15 - MAdison 3-6227
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LOS ANGELES -- The Nixon Truth Squad continued to trail Governor Brown
and furnish immediate public correction of what Truth Squad Chairman,
Senator Jack McCarthy, called Brown's "Distortion-A-Day Campaign."
Joining McCarthy in a Los Angeles press conference were Senators
Robert Lagomarsino, Ventura, and Richard Dolwig, San Mateo, and Assembly-
man Harold Levering.
The Truth Squad cited specific "distortions" in Brown's speech at
Town Hall today:
Distortion 1: The implication that Republicans have made this the
"filthiest campaign in California History."
Fact: It was Brown's own state chairman, Roger Kent who predicted that
this would be a dirty campaign, and Brown has been desperately trying to
prove this so ever since.
Dick Nixon has made responsible speeches on the real problems of the
state -- water, education, law enforcement, agriculture, and others --
and has offered a concrete program for the future. Brown at all times
has had the opportunity to rise above the campaign of innuendo he has
been conducting and meet Nixon face-to-face on the issues. He still has
that opportunity.
- more -
- 2 -
Distortion 2: California is the undisputed leader in Civil Defense.
Fact: Can this be true when today the bulk of our population has no
knowledge of what to do in an emergency -- there are no concise definite
orders of what to do or where to go. There is no master plan for immedi-
ate collaboration with private firms to restore major services after an
attack. Such a program should include provisions for not only restoring
utilities and food supplies, but other essential daily commercial ser-
vices as well.
We would like to ask Governor Brown how influential the CDC has been in
holding back an effective shelter program. In January, 1962, they not
only refused to adopt a resolution calling for an effective program, but
a majority of the Fallout Shelter Committee presented a resolution sta-
ting that the "CDC opposes the expenditure of funds for building and
promoting fallout shelter programs by federal, state and local agencies."

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
REGARDING THE OAKLAND FREEWAY CONTROVERSY
October 31, 1962
Governor Brown's administration has repeatedly failed to repre-
sent the interests of all Californians in the location and design
of freeways.
A new freeway path has cut through the middle of Oakland and
threatens to seriously diminish the usefulness of public schools,
Mills College, hospitals, churches and residential neighborhoods.
An aroused citizenry has demanded that heavy truck traffic
be diverted to an existing freeway going through the industrial
district. This will avoid a great loss in community values, as
well as dollars. I support this proposal to cut down the traffic
noises created by the new freeway.
The Brown administration blocks this solution to the problem
by its indecision. Brown has promised to have a meeting about it
sometime, and his engineers will conduct a study to analyze truck
noises. Meantime, the trucks will begin to roll and the damage will
be done to Oakland's neighborhoods and a beautiful college.
California has great need for decisive leadership in these free-
way problems. When elected Governor I will immediately do everything
possible to expedite the required state approval of an Oakland ordi-
nance to divert truck traffic from Mills College and the other areas
affected by this new freeway.
