FOR WEDNESDAY RELEASE, October 24, 1962
Those "Governor Nixon Plums" you see in markets all over the State are the
real thing -- not a campaign gimmick.
John Garabedian, well-known Fresno fruit grower, developed and patented
the newest plum harvested in California, and named it after his choice for
Governor -- Dick Nixon.
"As far as can be determined, all the Brown administration has developed
is lemons, " Garabedian said.
Garabedian is active in Fresno County in the Farmers for Nixon campaign.
The new plum, marketed by his firm, Peters & Garabedian, is larger and
more colorful than most plums, shading from green to gold to red. It has a
surprisingly small seed and a sweet, piquant taste not unlike many tropical
fruits.

FOR AMS TUESDAY, OCTOBER 23
Robert Lewis Stevenson, prominent Beverly Hills Democrat, today challenged
Gov. Brown to clarify whether he still harbors presidential ambitions.
"We all know that back in 1959 Brown made no secret of his availability
for the Democratic Presidential nomination," Stevenson said.
A lifelong Democrat and 1960 Democratic candidate for Congress, Stevenson
recently joined the "Democrats for Nixon" campaign group.
He said that "once bitten, some individuals cannot get the White House bug
out of their systems, but even Brown's closest friends must have told him that
to have a Pat Brown in the White House would be a completely ludicrous idea."
Brown, in effect, launched his gubernatorial campaign in a speech in
Washington, last January, at the National Press Club, a fcw short blocks from
the White House Stevenson said.
"Obviously Governor Brown has been seeking national publicity," he said.
"Why? And why has he continued to make trips to Washington? Also, why does he
go out of his way to accommodate visiting newsmen with exclusive interviews?"
During one such interview with Eastern reporters last August, Governor Brown
was quoted as having said: "My trouble is that I talk too much."
Stevenson also pointed to the fact that, in Brown's current television
commercials, the Governor arranged for himself to be described as "the nation's
leading Governor."
-More-

"Doesn't this incredibly vain description of himself provide still another
significant psychological clue as to the Governor's ultimate intentions?"
Stevenson asked.
"The effort to promote himself as 'the nation's leading Governor', along
with his never-ending efforts to obtain a national image, must be linked with
Brown's past efforts to obtain his party's Presidential nomination," he said.

Whittier College alumni are going to bat for their alma mater's most
celebrated graduate -- Richard M. Nixon, candidate for Governor of California.
Two leading Whittier businessmen have been named co-chairmen of a Whittier
College Alumni for Nixon Committee to boost his campaign. They are Clint
Harris, automobile dealer, class of '34 and a classmate of Nixon's, and Hubert
Perry, '35, bank manager.
"We are setting up a statewide organization to contact every one of the
7000-plus alumni that we can, requesting them to work with their local Nixon
organizations to get out the vote for Dick," the chairmen said in a joint
statement.
"We are going to ask each alumnus to talk to at least 10 couples in his
behalf. At this crucial time in our State's history, it is imperative we have
a man of the stature of Dick Nixon at the head of State government."
John Vaughn, Southern California Contact Chairman of Nixon for Governor,
said Whittier alumni may direct inquiries to Nixon's state headquarters at
3908 Wilshire Boulevard, DUnkirk 5-9161.

STATE SENATOR JACK F. McCARTHY
Marin County, California
Republican Floor Leader,
California State Senate
(Republican State Committee - DO 2-5576)
(San Francisco)
FOR RELEASE TUESDAY, October 23, 1962
Governor Edmund Brown was challenged today by State Senator John F.
McCarthy to repudiate support of Governors Ross Barnett of Mississippi and
Orval Faubus of Arkansas. Governor Brown had voiced such support when he said
on the recent "Meet the Press" show that "it would be a good thing for the
country" if only Democratic Governors in all fifty states were elected.
"This is probably the most extraordinary of the many extraordinary
statements to emanate from Governor Brown in the course of the current guberna-
torial campaign," Senator McCarthy said. "It is particularly revealing since
the Governor was on his own and did not have his numerous speechwriters on
hand to tell him what to say. In effect, what Brown is advocating is a totali-
tarian, one-party form of government."
In the course of the "Meet the Press" program, Governor Brown also stated
it would be "tragic" to have an opponent of the President sitting in the
Governor's chair in Sacramento. "Mr. Brown didn't think it was so 'tragic'
back in 1958 when he, a political foe of the then occupant of the White House,
President Eisenhower, was elected to the Governorship," McCarthy said.

FOR PMS MONDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1962
Governor Edmund G. Brown was challenged today to dispute former President
Eisenhower's unqualified endorsement of Richard Nixon as "an able leader, an
outstanding executive and a public servant in the finest American tradition."
Sen. John F. McCarthy (R - San Rafael) said, "It is now two weeks since
President Eisenhower paid this extraordinary tribute to his former Vice President,
yet Brown's gifted phrase-makers have been unable to provide the Governor with
any response, taking issue with the General's all-out tribute to Mr. Nixon.
In fact, not a peep has been heard about it from anyone in the usually loqua-
cious Brown camp," McCarthy said.
General Eisenhower had also observed that in his eight years as President,
Vice President Nixon had been only a heartbeat away from the Presidency. And
knowing that fact, the former President added, "I had no worry about the future
of the Republic -- should I be removed from life."
McCarthy said that President Eisenhower's endorsement had knocked "a big
hole in the preposterous argument that Mr. Nixon, in Governor Brown's words, 'has
no experience as a leader in Washington or California.'
"In view of President Eisenhower's testimonial, does Governor Brown still
view Mr. Nixon as lacking experience? Or to put it another way: A man who
possesses the qualifications to be President of the United States certainly
possesses the necessary qualifications to be Governor of California," McCarthy
said.

As California becomes the first state in the nation, the responsibilities
of the Governor become immense. The State's Chief Executive must have a Lieuten-
ant Governor with the ability and experience to be a full partner in the manage-
ment of government.
We can no longer afford to have a spare tire man in a fifth wheel position.
California must upgrade both the Office of Lieutenant Governor and the calibre of
the man who will serve in this position.
In Mayor George Christopher, Californians are offered the service of a man
of unique qualifications. He is a trained public accountant, a highly successful
self-made businessman and a dedicated public official, who has a 17-year record
of imaginative government service.
As Governor, I plan to make full use of his ability as my personal trouble-
shooter. I also plan to give him two specific assignments next January.
First, Mayor Christopher will have a mandate to conduct year-round investi-
gations into the efficiency of government agencies. He will have the
responsibility for bringing cost-cutting recommendations to the personal attention
of the Governor.
Second, Mayor Christopher will become the Chairman of my Commission to find
voluntary means to open up equal opportunities for jobs, promotions and training.

This Commission to strike at the causes of discrimination will be modeled
on the President's Committee on Government Contracts, which I had the honor to head
from 1953 through 1960.
The objective of achieving equal job opportunity through voluntary employer
compliance has already proved its worth on the national level. I am sure that
under George Christopher's direction it will make major break-throughs in the
fight against discrimination in California.

FOR PM'S MONDAY
OCTOBER 22, 1962
Frank McCoy, a Whittier Democratic official, today charged that Governor Edmund
G. Brown "is continuing his election year drift to the middle of the road by failing
to campaign for Assemblymen Phillip Burton and John O'Connell."
McCoy, first vice president of the Whittier Democratic Club and a member of the
51st Assembly District Democratic Council, has joined the Democrats for Nixon organi-
zation.
He pointed out that Brown said in answer to a question in Los Angeles, wednes-
day, October 17 that "I'm not going to campaign for all of them (Democratic candi-
dates) but I'm not going to tell you who they are today."
McCoy said "It is obvious he is referring to Burton and O'Connell, the two
ultra liberals who lit the spark under crowds of University of California students
the day before they rioted against the House Committee on Un-American activities in
San Francisco in May, 1960.
"Burton appeared in a television interview in Los Angeles October 16 and denied
flatly that he appeared at the scene of the HCUA hearings. No one claimed he did,
but he and O'Connell did speak to a student rally the day before and sympathized with
their opposition to HCUA.
"I say that if you let children play with matches, you stand a good chance of
having a fire. That's exactly what Burton and O'Connell did," McCoy said.
He said Burton was asked point blank on the interview how he felt about HCUA.
"I favor abolishing it," he replied.
McCoy said, "Brown is doing two more flip-flops for the voters. First he is
removing his active support for Burton and O'Connell, then he is retracting his sly,

and completely false hints that Richard Nixon is against pensions and welfare.
When asked directly by an irate pensioner whether Nixon had made such state-
ments, Brown replied that Nixon "didn't say that really."
"The fact is, Nixon has said he is in favor of 'adequate and generous pensions'
and wants to cut only the chiselers from the welfare rolls. For anyone to suggest
otherwise is completely false and the dirtiest of tactics," McCoy said.
"These are only a few examples of the type of flip-flop leadership we've had
in the state capitol for the last four years," McCoy said.

WIN WITH NIXON RALLY
October 24, 1962
Inglewood, California
Oct. 23, 1962
8:00 p.m.
Last night on my telethon in San Francisco, a questioner asked,
"Why should we be concerned about the internal threat of communism
when the Communist Party in the United States has only 10,000 members?
This question implies a misunderstanding of the Communist system
and Communist tactics. And now with the strong action that President
Kennedy has taken in Cuba, which has my full support, I believe that
it is even more imperative that every American and every Californian
have a real knowledge of how the Communists operate.
It is not merely the 10,000 American Communists that threaten
our security. It is the fact that these party members are agents of
a foreign power; that they are backed up by the resources of a world-
wide Communist movement; that they have skillfully organized front
groups of non-communist dupes, and that they are fanatics who will
tell any kind of corrupting lie to further their goal of world domin-
ation--just as Khrushchev and Gromyko lied to our President about the
nature of the Soviet missile build-up in Cuba.
Moreover, it should be clearly understood, as J. Edgar Hoover
said on Oct. 9, that "foremost among the (Communist) targets have
been America's young people
We have but to look at the shameful
riots in San Francisco in 1960, when college youth in that area,
encouraged by Communists, acted like common hoodlums in
- More -
2-2-2-
demonstrating against a Committee of the United States Congress
engaged in public business. We have but to look at the party's
campus speech program, which has seen Communist functionaries appear
before student groups at colleges and universities from New York to
California."
These are not my words. They are the words of our nations
leading authority on Communism. The respected Director of the FBI.
And this is why, throughout the campaign, I have spoken out on
the necessity of having a forceful and positive program to supply
federal action in the fight against communism.
I have been severly attacked for my stand on barring from the
campuses of our tax-supported institutions those individuals who have
refused to answer questions about communist activities before legis-
lative investigating committees or who have refused to comply with
the Subversive Activities Control Act of 1951, which is the basic
anti-communist law of the land and which I helped to write.
I welcome this attack. I believe my position is right and I
believe that the vast majority of Californians believe it is right.
I have also called for the mandatory teaching in our high schools
of communism and the alternatives of freedom.
Again I have been severly attacked. I have even been called a
dictator by my opponent.
And again, I welcome this attack. For I believe that Califor-
nians share my view.
I want to add that there are two excellent books that should be
seriously considered by local school boards in the teaching of com-
munism. One is J. Edgar Hoover's new book, "A Study of Communism."
The other is by a Californian, Roger Swearingen, and is called, "The
World of Communism."
I have proposed that the teaching of communism remain completely
under the control of the local school districts. I strongly support
the supervision of education at the level closest to the people; and
I believe that the state must back up our school districts in this
program with sufficient resources and a multiple choice of textbooks.
This is what Mr. Brown calls dictation, although his record shows
that he has piled on our school districts one mandatory requirement on
top of another, while at the same time allowing state support to pay
for these state-imposed programs to drop to 38 percent.

OCTOBER 22, 1962
Address on Cuba 10/22/62
As one who has urged for several months that stronger
action be taken in Cuba, I fully support the actions the
President has taken today.
There are obvious risks in this action. But the
risk of inaction is immensely greater. In my view, this
action will not lead to war. As in Quemoy and Matsu and
Lebanon, in dealing with Communist aggression, strong
action actually decreases the possibility of war.
From travelling throughout California and talking
to thousands of people, I am sure that an overwhelming
majority of the people in the first state of the union
will support the President's actions.
Although the nation is in the midst of a political
campaign, I know that whenever our peace and freedom is
threatened Democrats and Republicans alike will think
of America first, rather than the party.

ALAN H. NICHOLS, CHAIRMAN
EMILY G. PIKE, CAMPAIGN MANAGER
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Alan Nichols, San Francisco Nixon for Governor Campaign Chairman
announced today that he expects Richard M. Nixon to carry at least
20% of the registered Democratic vote in San Francisco in the
November gubernatorial race.
Nichols said that his figures were based on the results of a precinct
by precinct telephone poll of registered Democrats done from local
Nixon headquarters.
"Our poll is showing that between 10% to 27% of the Democrats are
favoring Nixon, depending on the precinct. And the percentage of
undecided voters in these areas has been running far greater than
these figures. Based on this, I think we can predict that Nixon
will carry a large percentage of the Democratic vote."
"We're getting strong support from our Democrats for Nixon Committee",
Nichols went on, "as well as real interest and support from union
members, nationality and veterans groups. Headquarters have been
springing up all over San Francisco. We have leaders in the Mission
District, in the Sunset, in the Fillmore, Chinatown and other San
Francisco communities."
"I think that the huge crowds that turned out for the Eisenhower
dinner and the Nixon International Reception at the Hall of Flowers,
172
along with the enthusiastic response that Dick Nixon has been
receiving everywhere he has gone in San Francisco is indicative of
the way people here feel about him."
"We have been tremendously improssed and thrilled with the number of
volunteers WO have been getting in our headquarters. We have many
volunteers who are spending their one day off a week to help us
in the campaign. People who have been coming in tell us that they
want to do anything they can to help get better government for
California, and that Dick Nixon is the one who can give it to us."
" We currently have 3800 volunteers working with us, not including
the precinct organization. With this kind of enthusiastic help,
we feel the San Francisco Nixon Campaign is on the upswing."
San Francisco Nixon for Governor Headquarters are at 1176 Market

President, California Young Republicans
October 23, 1962
(Palo Alto Young Republicans)
8:00 P.M. Monday, 10/22/62
The President of the California Young Republicans today called upon Senator
Hugh Burns, Chairman of the California Senate Fact-finding Committee on Un-American
Activities, to make public "any information gathered by the Committee on the left-
wing California Democratic Council which appears to have a bearhug on the legiti-
mate Democratic party."
Keaton, Los Angeles labor attorney, recalled that Senator Burns had announced
in April 1961 that the Fact-finding Committee had been investigating the CDC. Chair-
man Burns had disclosed the probe in a letter to the late Matt Cvetic, the FBI coun-
ter-spy, stating, "Your suggestion is well taken -- the California Democratic Coun-
cil has been under investigation for some time."
Keaton noted that over a year has passed "without a peep out of the Committee
on the progress of its CDC investigation."
"I am aware," Keaton added, "that the Senate Fact-finding Committee on Un-
American Activities is due to make its biennial report sometime in 1963. But the
CDC and its bearhug on the legitimate Democratic party has become an issue in the
current election campaign. In my judgment, the voters are entitled to all infor-
mation on CDC affairs before, not after, the coming election. In the past, Chair-
man Burns has stood above party to report the grim facts to the people. The time
has again come for another display of non-partisanship," Keaton concluded.

Statewide Campaign Manager,
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Nixon for Governor Committee
October 18, 1962
The piece of literature entitled, "Pat Brown and the CDC" was drafted by the
campaign organization and not by Murray Chotiner. It is significant that neither
Mr. Wyman nor Governor Brown denies the statements attributed to the CDC and to Mr.
Brown. Furthermore, they do not deny that Brown did nothing when the resolutions
were adopted and in fact, did not repudiate any of them until recently when he was
in the midst of a re-election campaign. Neither one denies that Mr. Brown as governoz
brushed off a voter when an inquiry was made about Brown's stand with the CDC.
Instead, they seek to weasel out of their uncomfortable position by complaining
about pictures. The truth is they are pictures of Governor Brown and were used only
as illustrative of the actual statements made by him.
If Mr. Brown and his hatchetman, Mr. Wyman, have any complaint, let them fight
it out with the CDC.
As far as the Prussion booklet, "California Dynasty of Communism," is concerned,
both Brown and Wyman know that the Nixon campaign had absolutely nothing to do with
it. It was repudiated immediately and the chairman of the Republican County Central
Committee ordered it removed from all Republican headquarters if any were there.
It should be noted that Mr. Prussion is reported in the press as having stated
that the Republicans never gave him an order for his booklet but the CDC purchased
1,000 copies. Furthermore, Mr. Brown's quarrel concerning the Prussion booklet is
with Mr. Prussion, not with us. Mr. Prussion has invited legal action by anyone
named in his booklet. If Mr. Brown has any dispute with Mr. Prussion, he knows what
to do.

After Visit with
Sonoma State Hospital Employees
FOR FLAT PM RELEASE
October 23, 1962
Tuesday, October 23, 1962
Having devoted 14 years to public service, I am well aware of the challenges
and problems of career government employees. The men and women who dedicate their
lives to government service, often at considerable financial sacrifice, deserve
the support and appreciation of the people, as well as the elected and appointed
officials.
I wish to assure every career employee in the state that I will uphold and
protect his job rights, which are written into the law of California and are
a basic guarantee that government will not be turned into a political football.
I believe that savings can be made by not increasing employment in non-
growth agencies and by not filling positions when they become vacant in areas
where it is carefully determined that a job can be done properly with a smaller
staff. These proposals will not endanger the job of a single carcer worker.
Government employees have a great stake in having individuals of the
highest quality in top state positions. The morale, efficiency and usefulness
of career people depends largely on the administrative and imaginative capacities
of the appointed directors of departments, bureaus and agencies.
Unfortunately, during the past four years, Mr. Brown has often given
positions of high public trust to men of extremely limited ability for purely
political reasons. This is a direct contradiction of California's great tra-
dition of appointing the best individuals regardless of party.
My first act as Governor will be to fire the political appointees who
have shown more capacity for waste, empire-building, and press-agentry than for
effective and efficient administration. I will return California to its former
tradition of appointing big men to do big jobs. This will be in the very best
interests of our taxpayers, who deserve to work with men of wisdom and experience.
-More-
-2-
At the same time, with the help of our government career people, we must
carefully survey all expansion costs to make sure that they are in line with
similar costs in private industry. If we find duplication or waste, it must
be eliminated. And where competitive bidding is not now in effect, we must
initiate such a system.
There is nothing wrong with the operation of state government that dynamic
leadership from the Governor's office, and a new breed of first-rate appointed
officials, will not cure. Our aim, yours and mine, is to make California a model
among the states of the finest government service.

Win With Nixon Rallies
San Diego and Riverside
October 19, 1962
We will never beat down the criminal element in California with a Governor
who is not concerned that our crime rate is nearly double the national average.
When we compare the crime situation in California with crimes in New York --
two states with the same population -- we find: Three times as many rapes in
California; twice as many robberies, burglaries and auto thefts, and 50 percent
more aggravated assaults.
The reason for this is not the quality of local law enforcement officers.
California has the best local peace officers in the United States. But they have
been handcuffed for four years by disinterest and disrespect from the Governor's
office.
If Mr. Brown spent the same energy fighting crime as he has spent fighting
men like the Chief of Police and Sheriff of Los Angeles, we would now have the
best record of crime prevention instead of the worst record of crimes committed in
the United States.
This record of indecision and failure shows why the Governor has been the
weak link in the law enforcement chain.
The failure to smash the narcotics traffic:
When a Southern California high school student was murdered by two
drug addicts and a delegration of young people asked Mr. Brown for stronger
anti-narcotics legislation, his smug reply was, "I don't believe (in having)
250 children calling on the Governor to discuss something they know nothing
about." He did nothing for two full years.
The failure to smash the pornography traffic:
Obscene books and films are a half-billion dollar a year business
in California. Yet when my opponent had the opportunity to sign a strong
law against this traffic in filth and smut he vetoed it and supported a
soft law.
The failure to support capital punishment as a deterrent to crime:
When a dangerous rapist was sentenced to death by a legally constituted
court of this state, Mr. Brown tried to pass the buck to world opinion rather
than uphold the law of California.
-More-
--2--
The failure to back up our local law enforcement officials:
When all the associations of peace officers in California asked for
15 strong anti-crime measures, Mr. Brown allowed all of them to be killed
in the legislature.
****
This is my program to reverse this attitude of smugness and disinterest.
1. Strong support for capital punishment, including the death penalty
for big-time dope peddlers.
2. A forceful legislative program, including laws to redefine
search and seizure and protect the identity of informants who are
essential in smashing the narcotics traffic.
3. Positive action to build a new respect for our law enforcement
officers, including annual California Awards for the finest contribution
in fighting juvenile delinquency and for bravery beyond the call of duty.
4. The immediate establishment of a Governor's Council on Crime
Prevention and Law Enforcement to coordinate the fight for a safer
California.
This top-level Council will mobilize church groups, boys clubs and
other voluntary agencies in a great crusade for crime prevention.
Law enforcement is government's business, but crime prevention is everybody's
business. I propose to see that all Californians have the opportunity to parti-
cipate personally in the fight to make our streets and highways the safest in
the nation.
As California becomes the first state in the nation, the choice is clear.
We can remain first in crimes committed for four more years. Or we can become
first in crime prevention by stamping out smugness in the Governor's office and
replacing it with four years of decisive leadership.

FOR FLAT AM SUNDAY RELEASE
Win With Nixon Rally
San Bernardino, California
October 20, 1962
As we enter the final two weeks of the campaign the most significant
trend that has developed is the massive shift-over of Democrat voters, who
supported my opponent in 1958 to our crusade for greater California.
In 1960, when I carried this state by 35,000, I received an estimated
600,000 votes from registered Democrats. I predict that we are going to beat this
record and go on to a substantial victory in 1962.
In my 19,500 miles of campaigning since September 12, in speaking to
thousands of Democrats, I find there are six major reasons why they want a change
of government in Sacramento.
1. Democrats feel that their party has deserted them under the influence
of the radical California Democratic Council.
They do not approve of abolishing the House Committee 3n Un-American
Activities, of repealing the Loyalty Oath, of admitting Red China into the UN,
and of the other extremist resolutions of the CDC.
And despite expressing some disagreement with this group, Mr. Brown
accepts the left wing CDC support and has even called it his "good right arm".
From this a great majority of Democrats can only conclude that he does not
represent their philosophy of government.
2. Democrats want a Governor who does not run from a fight.
They do not like the way Mr. Brown refused to accept my challenge to
debate the issues after he suffered defeat in our only joint appearance.
And they do not like the idea of a candidate who must rely on others
to fight his battles. California Democrats want a Governor who does not need to
be propped up by a team of "Mr. Inside" (state paid press agents) and "Mr. Outside"
(Washington dignitaries).
3. Democrats in agricultural areas want a Governor who will promote the
prosperity of California agriculture.
They want a Governor who is for the Bracero program at harvest time -
not just at election time; a Governor whose views are firm and consistent on a
Pg. 222
minimum wage for farm workers all the time - not just at election time; a Governer
who opposes the outmoded 168 acre limitation on state financed water projects all
the time - not just at election time.
In other words, the California farmers want an end to double talk
from the Governor's office.
4. Democrats want a Governor who will put first raters in state government.
When they see a fellow Democrat like Bob McCarthy, the Director of
Motor Vehicles who tried to end highway manslaughter by drunk drivers, enforced
out of government by what he calls "a sick administration", the Democrats feel
that Mr. Brown is not capable of attracting men of quality into government service.
5. Democrats want a Governor who will make California into a greater
opportunity state.
When they see a million people a day directly affected by unemploy-
ment in California and they see that New York is starting job producing plants
three times faster than our state, they feel that Mr. Brown is not capable of
making the one million new jobs that California must have in the next four years.
6. Democrats want a Governor who will make our streets and homes the
safest in the nation.
But they see that their dedicated local law enforcement officers are
not getting strong backing from the Governor's office. They see that more crimes
are committed in California than in any other state in the union. They want a
Governor who will support capital punishment and extend it to big time dcpe
peddlers.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Text of Statewide Radio Address
by RICHARD NIXON
October 21, 1962
This is the fifth broadcast in a series that I call, "Programs for a
Greater California." Each Sunday evening until election day I will show you
how decisive leadership can solve the pressing problems of our state.
On my first program, I presented an eight-point anti-crime program, which
includes strong backing for our dedicated local law enforcement officials, a
top-level Governor's Council to coordinate the fight for a safer California and
the death penalty for big-time dope peddlers.
On these Sunday broadcasts I have also discussed my four-year programs for
better education and to meet the special needs of our elderly citizens. One
of my proposals calls for a "California Legion of Service" -- a new voluntary
organization to mobilize the talents of our senior citizens to help train the
youth, particularly those young people who have dropped out of school.
Last week my subject was "The Face of California." My four year proposals,
in five major areas from freeways to state construction, were designed to make
our state an even more pleasant place to live and work by preserving and improving
the natural and man-made beauty of California.
Tonight I want to talk about "One Million Jobs for Californians." This is
the number of new jobs that must be created in our state over the next four years
- More -
- 2 -
in order to meet the needs of our expanding population and the needs of Califor-
nians now out of work.
First, J. want to make it absolutely clear that there is nothing wrong with
California's job and business climate that dynamic leadership in Sacramento cannot
cure. California has the manpower, the talent and the resources to lead the nation.
Yet what is the situation in our state today.
I believe it can be best summed up by a few stark statistics.
1. A million people a day are directly affected by unemployment in
California. 323,000 people are now out of work. Unemployment is up 44.8% in the
past three years -- from September, 1959 to September, 1962.
2. Among the major industrial states, California ranks ninth in new plant
expansion. We trail New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Texas, Florida,
Massachusetts, and North Carolina. And New York, with the same population as
California, has built or started three times as many new plants as we have since
the beginning of last year.
3. California has the worst record of bankruptcies in the nation. In 1961,
there were more bankruptcies in California than in all of New York, Pennsylvania,
Texas, Chio and Michigan combined -- although these states together have more than
3-1/2 times our population.
Now what has been the record of the present state administration? Has Mr.
Brown taken decisive action to solve the job-gap or has his administration actually'
widened and helped create it?
Basically, my opponent has taken three actions that affect the jobs of
Californians.
(1) He has raised taxes by nearly $1 billion in four years. This is
the largest tax increase ever enacted by a state Governor in the history of
the United States. Personal income taxes are up 106.2% under the Brown
Administration. Bank and corporation taxes have gone up 84% during his
- More -
- 3 -
regime. And today Californians have the heaviest tax burden in the nation.
(2) The present state administration has increased government spending
by $1 billion. Mr. Brown has given California the most expensive state
government in history. He has allowed state spending to go up more than
three times as fast as our population has expanded.
(3) Mr. Brown has fostered an Economic Development Agency as the
panacea for all of California's economic ills. This Agency has spent its
time making surveys and cannot point to a single new industry it has brought
into the State.
The conclusion is inescapable that my opponent has helped create the serious
job-gap in California by his policies of heavy taxation, huge spending, bureau-
cratic harassment of business, and do-nothing administration.
This is the vicious cycle that Mr. Brown has imposed on California. He has
first increased government spending out of all proportions to the increase in pop-
ulation. Then to pay for his extravagance, he has forced a tremendous tax load on
the people. This tax load, in turn, has created a poorer business climate since
businesses must seek out locales where the taxes allow them to compete. A poor
business climate causes higher unemployment. And finally, the greater the number
of people who are out of work, the greater will be the expense of government since
the state has to put out more money to pay for the health and welfare of the
unemployed.
What can California expect of Mr. Brown in the future? The answer is more of
the same. For he is running on a platform that would cost an additional $1.36
billion over the next four years. These new government expenditures mean that
taxes will have to go up next year if Mr. Brown is elected. He may pledge "no
new taxes next year" as a desperate last-minute election promise, but it is im-
possible to raise spending, as his platform proposes, and not also raise taxes.
- More -
- 4 "
Now what do I propose to do?
The first, and most imperative, action must be taken to cut the cost of
government. This is the only responsible way to end the vicious cycle that all
Californians are now paying for -- either in loss of work or in higher taxes.
Only after we have cut government expenses can we expect to give the people the
reduction in taxes that they deserve.
My program spells out an immediate saving of $50 million next year.
Here are the ways I will cut the cost of government in 1963 without cutting
any necessary service to the people.
1. I will save $27 million on the welfare programs and maintain the present
level of assistance to the aged, the blind, the handi-capped and others who are
entitled to welfare payments.
$25 million can be saved by getting chiselers out of the ANC program. All
who are entitled to this kind of relief will continue to receive it. But I will
see that the regulations are changed so that it is no longer more profitable for
a man not to work than to work and more profitable for a man to desert his family
than to support them.
Another $2 million will be saved si ply by bringing the cost of drug pre-
scriptions into line with Veterans Administration procedures. California now
pays 75 cents on each prescription for paper work alone; the VA pays only 21 cents.
2. $15 million can be saved on personnel by not filling positions in
'non-growth" departments and by cutting down on State press agents.
This will be done while protecting the jobs of career state employees. Not
one career employee will be fired.
My system will be to not fill state positions as they become vacant, after it
has been carefully determined that necessary services can be performed by existing
personnel. In 1961, 12,000 full-time employees left government service -- many of
these employees need not be replaced.
- More -
- 5 -
Moreover, I will encourage state administrators, through an incentive system,
to do a better job with a smaller staff. Today, in California government, an
administrator, such as William Warne, is rewarded for empire-building -- the more
employees he directs, the more he is paid. Next year, the big man in government
will be the administrator who would find ways to keep his staff down, while keeping
his performance up.
3. Another $8 million will be saved next year by cutting non-essential
government studies, by abolishing the super-agencies, by making a change in the
mental hygiene program that will actually strengthen it, by eliminating the need-
less office of the Consumer Council, and by cutting the fat out of Mr. Warne's
empire.
There are four other areas in which I expect to make substantial savings.
1. I plan to save the taxpayers' money by returning California to a pay-as-
you-go system as much as possible.
This year, the state is spending $181 million simply to pay service charges
on the long-term bonded debt. This represents about 4% of the total budget. Un-
less California government changes its course and goes into debt only for its most
urgent needs, we will have doubled the percentage of the budget that we must spend
on debt service within ten years.
2. Further savings to the taxpayers will be made by a full-scale re-
organization of California government.
California now has the amazing total of 360 departments, agencies, boards
and commissions. There are conflicts, duplications, and competing offices. These
must be eliminated. All that Mr. Brown's super-agencies have accomplished is to
put a layer of bureaucratic fat between the Governor and the operating level of
government.
3. Another saving to the people will be made by taking government out of
competition with private enterprise wherever possible and by expanding our
- More -
- 6 -
system of competitive bidding.
For example, today there is no system of competitive bidding on State
architectural jobs. I propose to insure that the State Division of Architecture
does the designing of state building for the least money. And if it is found that
the State Division cannot match outside bids, the work will go to private firms.
4. Additional savings to the people can be made by bringing the space
requirements on state office buildings into line with realistic requirements in
private industry.
A study of state office building utilization shows an over-all average of
160 square feet per employee. In private industry, where most people work, the
average requirement is less than 120 square feet per employee.
In the future, it may be possible to save up to $30 million a year by bring-
ing state building standards into line with those in effect in private industry.
Once we have reduced the cost of government, we can then give a tax
reduction.
At the present time, this is the situation in regard to future tax prospects.
(1) Mr. Brown has pledged no new taxes next year -- a pledge which it will be
absolutely impossible for him to deliver; (2) When asked if he would veto any
legislative bill to increase taxes next year, Mr. Brown has replied, "I cannot
tell you I would veto a new tax bill," and (3) Mr. Brown on the "Meet the Press"
program, refused to pledge that he will not increase taxes in 1964, 1965 and 1966.
My position is this: (1) My detailed program to cut the cost of government
next year assures that there will not be a tax increase in 1963; (2) While Mr.
Brown "spent-as-he-went," I pledge a policy of pay-as-you-go that assures that
there will be no tax increase in the next four years -- 1963, 1964, 1965 and 1966;
(3) My program of spending the peoples' money without waste or frills is the best
assurance possible that Californians can get a tax reduction within the next four
years.
- More - .

I also support the following four year tax reform program.
1. I will initiate an immediate improvement of tax administration, par-
ticularly designed to eliminate secrecy of rulings and procedures.
California taxpayers should have objective guidelines, rather than be
subjected to the whims of examining authorities.
With proper guidelines, taxpayers can be given an opportunity to settle tax
controversies in their local area.
2. I will recommend to the legislature that the California income tax be
changed to give a double exemption amounting to $3,000 to those over 65 and those
who are blind.
Not only will this bring our state in line with federal income tax pro-
visions, but it will assist those who are often most in need and who are most
adversely affected by inflation.
3. I will propose to the legislature that California adopt a system of tax
incentives for companies that expand their employment.
This is a positive way to encourage California industry to create jobs.
And since jobs create a greater tax base for the state, it will be possible to
design this system so that it will actually add to state revenue.
4. I will recommend tax legislation to encourage Californians to invest in
California industry.
Such legislation would relieve the millions of small stockholders in our
state from paying double taxes on income earned from a California corporation.
5. I will support legislation that encourages research and development
expenditures in California.
The development of new products and new services will create new employment.
This type of commercial expenditure can be encouraged through the use of a tax
credit.

The growth of California has been built on creativity. Whether it is in
agriculture, shopping centers, architecture, home decorating, sports clothes,
entertainment, or acro-space, the rest of the nation looks to California to lead
in new ideas. Encouragement of ever greater efforts in research and development
will create more jobs, but it will also keep California first in new ideas, new
products and new services.
Besides cutting the cost of government and initiating tax reforms, there
is one other area in which dynamic state leadership can create the $20 billion in
capital outlay that is needed to make one million new jobs for Californians.
This area is salesmanship.
And so my final proposal for making our state first in employment is to
start a "California Crusade for New Business Investment."
Attracting new industry to a state is a highly competitive business. The
head of a Los Angeles electronics company recently wrote me, "Speaking personally,
we have been approached by at least half of the states in the union by special
committees with fancy brochures and heavy inducements to locate our plants in
their particular states."
In the face of this big league competition, California cannot field a bush
league team. We must immediately mobilize the talented manpower, supported by
sufficient funds, to get back in the ball game. California, the first state in
population, must also become the first state in new plant expansion. Ninth place
is not good enough for Californians.
This is my positive four year program to make "One Million Jobs for
Californians." It starts with efficiency, economy and cost-cutting in government.
It follows up with tax reforms and tax reductions. And it accents salesmanship.
These three elements, directed by a decisive state administration that is wholly
dedicated to doing things the free enterprise way, will create a greater
- More -

California -- a California that is a shining example of an opportunity state in-
stead of a sorry example of a handout state. And this is California's destiny.

About the only thing that is accurate in Mr. Wyman's frantic efforts in this
campaign is his statement that "This will be the dirtiest campaign in California
history." He is determined to carry out his prediction by holding a series of press
conferences where he hurls wild and ruckless distortions of the truth.

Mr. Brown's repeated remarks that a governor must be of the same political party
as the president is a shocking and irresponsible statement. It implies that all 50
governors must be of the same party and that the United States should have a one-
party system.
Mr. Brown's statement reflects a lack of understanding of the American system.
His statement is alien to the founding principle of our republic--the division of
government responsibility between the sovereign states and the national union. 146
years ago, Thomas Jefferson said, "What destroys the liberty and the rights of man is
concentrating all powers into one body." Under our system of governing ourselves, in
diversity and decentralization of government power there is strength. And at a time
when we are opposed by a world conspiracy based on rule by one-man and one-party, it
is more important than ever before that we reaffirm the wisdom of our Federal-State
system.
When this nation was founded, 13 American colonies created a unique union of
sovereign states, If Mr. Brown's statement is carried to its inevitable and illogi-
cal conclusion, he would have our 50 sovereign states returned, in effect, to a
colonial status. Each governor would be nothing more than a rubber stamp for the
national Administration. Californians--Democrats and Republicans alike--resent Mr.
Brown's attempt to turn the first state in the nation into a giant puppet with the
strings being pulled from Washington D.C.
I believe that the first obligation of a governor is to speak up for the people
of the state who elected him. I disagree completely with Mr. Brown's servile atti-
-MORE-
2-2-2
tude that a governor should be nothing more than a mere agent of the federal govern-
ment in California.
If my opponent had carried this foolishness to its extreme, he would have urged
his own defeat in 1958, since the president was then of a different party. That he
did not employ this fallacious reasoning four years ago only confirms that he is now
a desparate man who will grasp at any coattail in order to stay alive politically.
But Mr. Brown's remarks carry an even more sinister implication--that the Presi-
dent of the United States might use his great power in the allocation of defense con-
tracts to affect the outcome of a free election in a sovereign state.
I am sure that President Kennedy would be the first to repudiate this shocking
implication. He knows that the nation is best served by awarding contracts solely
on the basis of merit. California has the best trained manpower and the best facili-
ties in the nation for defense work, particularly in the field of space. And on
merit, the record of California's industry assures that we will get our fair share
of contracts.
I call upon Mr. Brown, before President Kennedy arrives in California, to re-
tract this embarrassing suggestion that the $50 billion of government contracts would
be used for rewarding the people in states who elect candidates supported by the
national administration and for punishing those who elect candidates who belong to
the opposition party.
I also want to make it absolutely clear that it is nonsense to suggest that I
would use the office of governor of this state to wage war on the President. I can
assure the people of California that I have not done so as a candidate and I will
not do so as governor.
But when the people of California have something to contribute to the debate
on a clear national issue, I believe it is my obligation to speak out. A11 good idea
do not originate in Washington.
I believe that the Governor of California and the governors of the other states,
when they have experience in a particular field or when the people of the state have
a strong feeling on a particular subject, have an obligation to express these ideas.
Only in this way will national policy reflect the best thinking of all the people.
As President Kennedy said in Fresno on February 12, 1960: "Bi-partisanship does not
mean and was never meant to mean rubber stamping of every executive blunder without
debate."
-MORE-
3-3-3
In this spirit I have strongly supported President Kennedy's position on atomic
testing. And let the record show that a vociferous minority of M r. Brown's CDC
opposed the president on this issue. I have also publicly supported President
Kennedy's action to use American forces to stop Communism in Viet Nam. On the Cuban
crisis, on the other hand, I have stated and I state again that I think Californians
are ahead of Washington. We believe that whatever additional action is necessary to
stop the flow of Soviet men and missiles into Cuba should be taken by the president.
We do not want our generation to go down in history as the period when the Monroe
Doctrine was allowed to die because of the failure of Americans to recognize that
while there are great risks in acting forcefully to protect freedom in America, the
risks of inaction are infinitely greater.

STATEMENT BY
RICHARD M. NIXON
October 17, 1962
This year marks the centennial of the signing into law by
President Abraham Lincoln of a bill which, for the first time, per-
mitted Jewish chaplains to serve in the armed forces of the United
States of America.
Today, we salute that historic act as marking a milestone on
the road to ever-increasing freedom for all Americans regardless of
race, color or creed.
The story behind this historic act is not well known. On
December 11, 1861, President Lincoln received at the White House a
representative of the Board of Delegates of American Israelites.
He was Arnold Fischel, a young New York rabbi, who had asked for an
appointment to discuss a matter that was causing considerable anxiety
to Northern Jewry. Earlier that year, Congress had enacted legis-
lation which provided that Union Army chaplains must be "of some
Christian denomination." As a result of the new law, some Jewish
chaplains had already been dismissed from duty and had been sent
home.
The new law, according to the Board of Delegates, was oppres-
sive since it "established a prejudicial discrimination against
a particular class of citizens on account of their religious beliefs.'
It also violated the Constitution inasmuch as it "established a
religious test as a qualification for an office under the United
States".
A few days after their meeting, President Lincoln wrote to
Rabbi Fischel that "I shall try to have a new law broad enough to
cover what is desired by you on behalf of the Israelites." As a
result of the President's intervention, the original Act was changed
to read "some religious denomination" instead of "Christian denomin-
ation."
Among the first to enlist was Rabbi Ferdinand L. Sarner, of
Rochester, New York, who served with the Union Army's 54th Volunteer
MORE
2-2-2-
Regiment. At the battle of Gettysburg, Chaplain Sarner was badly
wounded, his horse shot from beneath him.
Today, some 100 Jewish chaplains are serving with United States
armed forces throughout the world. They are carrying on a proud
tradition of dedication, patriotism and service to mankind.
America salutes them.

I pledge to invite Bob McCarthy and other men of his high
calibre into government service.
I do not believe a political label should be the passport for
appointments to government office. California needs the best men in
state service regardless of whether they may be Republican or
Democrat.
Under the Brown administration we have seen good men forced out
of office. Bob McCarthy, the California Director of Motor Vehicles
was completely handcuffed in his fight for highway safety by what
he called"a spineless Administration that lacks both courage and
principle."
He resigned with this indictment of Mr. Brown:
"When I accepted your appointment as Director in January 1959,
we agreed to the seriousness of the traffic problem and the need for
vigorous leadership. Since that time, your support has dwindled and
by now has completely disappeared
my attempt to curb the drunk
driver, while initially receiving lip service, saw you cave in to
pressure for a softer law. Leadership could have saved lives. These
experiences are symbolic of a sick administration".
California cannot afford to lose the services of a dedicated
public official like Bob McCarthy. He is a man who is completely

dedicated to ending the needless death and injury on our highways.
He is a man who is completely dedicated to government doing the

at the people's expense.
California deserves to be led by this type of public official.

A million people a day are directly affected by unemployment in California.
The families of the 323,000 people now out of work are not satisfied with Mr.
Brown's smog-screen of smug statistics.
What is hidden behind the ballyhoo curtain that his tax-supported press-agents
have erected?
Unemployment is up 44.8% in the last three years under the Brown Administration.
Industrial expansion is now only half the amount necessary to create full em-
ployment for our expanding population.
The greatest tax increase in history---$1 billion in four years---has forced 44
job-producing businesses to close down or expand outside California.
Work stoppages caused the highest loss of paychecks in ten years in the second
quarter of 1962.
Business bankruptcies have gone up 54% with more businesses going under in Cali-
fornia than in New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, Ohio and Michigan combined.
Bringing new jobs to California demands a big league team. We cannot beat the
men and resources that New York has thrown into the fight for new investment with a
bush league outfit. In plant starts and expansion, we are now losing to New York by
a score of three to one. Mr. Brown's Economic Development Agency cannot point to a
single business it has brought into the state. We must get back in the game with a
giant "California Crusade for New Business Investment."
Yet my opponent not only refuses to recognize this problem and to deal with it,
but hires a team of puff-peddlers to cover it with a bright halloween mask.

When pressed for a program, he falls back on the same old snake oil remedy-
big government spending. But the patient will only get sicker for more spending
leads to more taxes, which leads to less business, which results in fewer jobs.
My program for a greater California will break this vicious cycle by starting
with $50 million cut in government spending next years. This kind of policy will
attract the $20 billion in new business investment California needs to meet its
minimum goal of 1,000,000 new jobs in private enterprise over the next four years.

Walkathons today were added to telethons in Richard Nixon's border-to-border
campaign for Governor of California.
The walkathons are part of the Nixon person-to-person campaign to carry the
issues to a cross section of Californians in all parts of the state, according to
H. R. Haldeman, campaign manager.
"Mr. Nixon plans to walk through shopping centers and industrial plants in all
parts of California on a daily basis," Haldeman said.
"The walkathons which will total more than 100 in the next seven weeks, will be
interspersed with rally speeches and seven major telethons on the Nixon schedule,"
Haldeman said.
"I am dedicated to carrying the campaign issues to Californians as they never
have been carried before," Nixon said.
"I plan daily informal stops to talk with workers in their plants, housewives
in shopping centers and merchants in their stores.
"I have been greatly impressed by the enthusiasm of the thousands of persons I
have met during the first four days of the campaign," Nixon said. "Worker and voter
enthusiasm is mounting daily.
"The tremendous enthusiasm I have seen at our meetings, both formal and informal,
convinces me that voters in all parts of the state are anxious to join in this cam-
paign to bring strong leadership to the high office of Governor of California."
Nixon plans to set a minimum average of meeting 2,000 persons a day and to
reach personally as many as 10,000 frequently, according to Haldeman.

On Wednesday, Nixon will spend the morning touring the Los Angeles civic center
and conferring with Los Angeles Mayor Sam Yorty. He will attend the State Bar
Association Convention in Beverly Hills and speak at the University Synagogue that
evening.
The Nixon campaign will shift to the San Joaquin Valley Thursday with a bus
and walking tour scheduled in Delano, Porterville, Lindsay, Visalia, Hanford and
Fresno. Nixon then will fly to San Jose for an evening rally at the State College
there.
The Friday schedule will include a person-to-person activity in the Bay area,
followed by a lunch meeting in Fillmore, informal walkathon tours in the Los
Angeles area and an evening address before the Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical

PROGRAMS FOR A GREATER CALIFORNIA
Text of Statewide Radio Address
by RICHARD NIXON
Press Secretary: Herbert G. Klein
October 14, 1962
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
This is the fourth broadcast in a series that I call, "Programs for a
Greater California. Each Sunday evening until election day I will show you
how decisive leadership can solve the pressing problems of our state.
On my first program, I presented an eight-point anti-crime program,
which includes strong backing for our dedicated local law enforcement
officials, a top-level Governor's Council to coordinate the fight for a
safer California and the death penalty for big-time dope peddlers.
On these Sunday broadcasts I have also discussed my four-year programs
for better education and to meet the special needs of our elderly citizens.
One of my proposals calls for a "California Legion of Service" -- a new
voluntary organization to mobilize the talents of our senior citizens
to help train the youth, particularly those young people who have dropped
out of school.
Tonight, I want to talk about "The Face of California" the ways
a new Governor can give dynamic leadership to preserve and improve the
natural and man-made beauty of our state so that California will be an
even better place to live and work.
Many of these problems are created by our tremendous population growth,
particularly in the urban areas of the State.
My own hometown, Whittier, was a small college community of less than
9,000 when I grew up. In the last ten years it has expanded seven-fold and
now has a population of 65,000. We see this same urban population explosion all
over our state. Today, 86.4% of all Californians live on less than 10% of
the state's land area. And of the half million people moving to California
each year, nearly 85% settle in our urban areas.
Today, the face of California is being marred by actions and in-
actions of the present State administration. Californians
-More-
- 2 -
deserve a government that is dedicated to making our state a
more attractive place to live, raise children and relax.
This is my four-year program to restore and maintain the
face of California.
1. Freeways
In California, more people have more cars and drive more
miles than in any other state in the union. The automobile has
given us a mobility that was unheard of just a generation ago.
Every Californian is now within a day's driving distance of our
magnificent beach and mountain resorts. Yet the automobile has
also brought slaughter on the highways and tedious hours of
commuting to and from work.
Many of our transportation problems are closely related to
our growing highway system. The California Division of Highways
has embarked on a 12,400-mile program of freeways, which will
use up to 1-1/4 million acres of land. This undertaking has
caused considerable controversy and I want to make my position
absolutely clear.
The highway program is vital to the growth of California and
has my strong support. In fact, in 1954, on behalf of President
Eisenhower, I presented the most comprehensive highway program
ever attempted in the world. The Bisenhower-Nixon plan was
based on a partnership with the states. And this plan today
accounts for much of the growth of the California freeway system.
It is ironic that although a vast majority of Californians
approve of a freeway network, there are now #5 communities locked
in combat with the Highway Commission.
San Franciscans are concerned about the Embarcadero freeway.
On the Monterey Peninsula the fight is over what is called the
can of worms." The people of Chico protest that a freeway is
going through beautiful Bidwell Park. In San Jose, the fight
is over the use of prime farm land to build a freeway. The
people in Santa Barbara are concerned over the construction of a
freeway that is out of character with their lovely community.
In Sacramento, the battle centers around the destruction of
historic buildings for freeway development.

This situation is not in the best interests of the state and
is detrimental to the whole freeway program. But we cannot
expect a satisfactory solution as long as we have a Governor who
says (as Mr. Brown did on April 14, 1961), "In those matters of
freeways and things such as that I don't interfere at all. I
can't. I haven't sufficient knowledge of either the engineering
or the other values to make any decision on them at all."
A Governor, with the whole state government to call upon,
must have the knowledge and must make decisions. This does not
mean that the independence of the highway Commission should be
changed. It is right to remove the Commission from politics.
However, a Governor who is willing to give leadership and has
the power of appointment can iron out the present causes of
dispute.
In weighing
the merits of a proposed freeway, much greater
consideration must be given to these six questions.
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 landmarks?
6) Low will the freeway tie in with regional and local
comprehensive plans?
In considering future freeways, I believe these five pro-
cedures must be followed in every case:
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 courtrooms.
3. No rights of way should be condemned until a highway
project has received final approval.
- fore -
- 4 -
4. Threats of withdrawl of highway funds or promises of
extra highway expenditures must not be used to solicit local
agreement for freeway routing.
5. No funds for any highway public relations activities
other than purely informational programs should be authorized.
Rather than slowing down freeway construction, these procedures
will actually speed it up by ending the type of long drawn-out
controversy that has been going on in Chico for five years.
My proposals are designed to give greater consideration to
the feelings of the people who are most intimately affected by the
construction of a freeway. But they are also designed to eliminate
the present ill-vill toward the Highway Commission, so that it
can move forward with the full support of the people.
Ly following these proposals, Californians will have both the
greatest State system of surface transportation in the world and
a beautiful place to live.
Rapid Transit
Even when California gets the best highway system in the
nation, with the best safety record, we will not have licked all
our transportation problems.
There are families who do not own cars. There are one-car
families who need a supplemental means of transportation. There
are people who are not able to drive or who prefer to use public
transportation. There are people who waste many hours each day
in commuting -- hours that could be spent in more productive and
pleasant ways.
The needs of these people can be best met by rapid transit
systems in our metropolitan areas.
In the San Francisco Bay Area, rapid transit planning has
reached the point where next month the people will vote on a
792 million bond issue to build a 75-mile system using high
speed aluminum cars.
More -
- 5 -
Similar action is now necessary in Southern California.
I will ask the legislature to establish a Southern California
Rapid Transit District.
The present Los Angeles letropolitan Transit Authority
would continue to run local bus and streetcar operations and
would work closely with the new District.
But unlike the ITA, whose members are appointed by the
Governor the Board of Directors of the new District would be
chosen by the city councils and the Mayors of the communities
directly affected by a rapid transit system.
After years of fruitless planning and the spending of
hundreds of thousands of dollars, the State has failed to come
up with a workable rapid transit plan for the Los Angeles area.
It is time for a new start and a new organization -- an organiza-
tion not of State appointees, but of the people who are most
directly involved in the need for rapid transit.
3. Smog
I will not believe a nation that can build a hydrogen bomb
and discover a succ ssful vaccine for polio cannot lick the smog
problem. Lut this will only be accomplished by strong state
leadership and the will to do the job.
Smog has become a statewide menace.
It is detrimental to the health of Californians, especially
people with heart and lung conditions.
It is detrimental to the beauty of our state.
And it is detrimental to our crops. California farmers
are losing $8 million a year because of smog and this crop
damage is rapidly increasing.
The greatest single cause of California's serious smog
situation is the automobile -- both automobile exhausts and
crank cases that emit unburned gasoline.
I propose an immediate three-point program:
1. A speed up of exhaust device testing by the State Motor
Vehicle Pollution Control Board;
A crash program, in cooperation with local law enforce-
ment and fire departments, to crack down on malfunctioning auto=
mobiles;
- More -
- 6 -
3. A strong campaign to get automotive manufacturers to
accelerate anti-smog research.
4. Forest Fires
Forest fire prevention is another area in which strong state
leadership can protect the face of California and the property
of Californians.
Last year, damages from fires on non-federal land amounted
to over $17.2 million. On State-protected land, there were
3,283 fires causing damage to 315,316 acres. The State Forester
believes this is the worst record of damage in California history.
And so far this year, fires on State-protected lands are already
13% above the five-year average.
The State must step up its forest fire prevention programs
and must actively encourage private parties to start or increase
programs in this area.
5. State Buildings
The State of California is the largest single source of non-
residential building construction. The latest figures, for fiscal
year 1960-61, show that the State spent 235 million on the
construction of buildings.
Obviously, when this amount of money is spent, the State
plays a major role in changing the face of California.
The State must not be indifferent to the wishes of our local
communities when choosing locations and designs of its buildings.
The Governor will not have to live with a State-built eyesore,
but the local people will. Therefore, such factors as the
character of a community must be considered in the State building
program just as they must be considered in the State highway
program.
I believe that the same detailed guidelines and procedures
that I propose for freeway construction must be followed by
the State in building construction.
Also, I believe that we must have competitive bidding on all
State architectural jobs. Under the present system, the State
only calls for bids on construction. My proposal would insure
that the State Division of Architecture is doing the designing
for the least money. If the State Division cannot match outside
- Hore -
- 7 -
bids, the work would go to private firms.
*****
This four-year program, covering five major areas of State
concern, will be a significant breakthrough in protecting,
restoring and maintaining the face of California.
My proposals are designed to make our state an even more
pleasant place to live and work -- a State of such beauty that
all Americans will wish to see it for themselves and a State
that will cause every one of us to stand tall and say, "I'm
proud to be a Californian."

"Richard Nixon will win the governor's race by margin in excess of 400,000
2203
votes," it was forecast today by H. R. Haldeman, Nixon campaign manager. "My fore-
cast of a smashing victory is based on a comprehensive state survey completed Satur-
day, October 13," Haldeman said.
"Both the size and the enthusiasm of the Nixon crowds, which dwarf those of
Brown, leave no doubt but that there is a strong Nixon tide running," Haldeman said.
"We anticipate a Republican turnout of at least 80 percent and probably better and a
Democratic vote of less than 72 percent."
Haldeman's analysis shows that Nixon will get 91 percent of the Republican vote
with Brown obtaining 4 percent. He said there is a 5 percent margin undecided at this
point. Among Democrats, Haldeman said Nixon will gain 20 percent as compared to 72
percent for Brown. "There appears to be an undecided vote of 8 percent or better
among the Democrats," " Haldeman said.
"While the 'Decline to State' registrants are running 2 to 1 in Nixon's favor,
our samples are too small to be conclusive among this group," Haldeman said. There
are 230,915 decline to state registered voters.
In some areas, such as San Diego, Haldeman said that private surveys show that
Nixon will receive more than one out of every four Democratic votes. "Since the tele-
thon in San Diego Friday, our weekend survey showed the margin is likely to be higher,"
the campaign manager said.
The same survey, which covers a complete analysis of continual statewide tele-
thon surveys, private polls from specific key areas and examination of past elections,
also shows Kuchel well ahead in the Senatorial race. Among Republicans, Kuchel has
-MORE-
2-2-2
85%, Richards 2% and 13% undecided. Democrats give Kuchel 23%, Richards 68% and 9%
undecided.
"If the voting pattern of Republicans and Democrats runs true to past percen-
tages," Haldeman declared, "Nixon will win by 459,228 votes disregarding the undecided
vote. The undecided vote on the usual voting pattern totals 184." Haldeman
pointed out that, "the undecided vote splits in the same proportion as the known vote
at this stagebofra campaign, barring any last minute change in trend.
"A stepped-up drive by the Nixon forces to marshall their supporters to get out
their vote on election day is being launched today," Haldeman declared.
"The Nixon campaign goes, today, into what Haldeman described as 'the famous
Nixon stretch drive.'
"During the next three weeks, Dick and Pat Nixon will see and talk to more peo-
ple than in any other campaign in California history," Haldeman said. "Schedules have
been arranged to permit Nixon and his wife to continue to campaign in all parts of
California each week as part of their border-to-border program to carry the issues to
every voter in the state.
"In the past few weeks the Dick Nixon crowds have exceeded those of presidential
races in many California areas by both Nixon and Kennedy in 1960. The additional
phenomena of this campaign has been the crowds drawn by Pat Nixon. In the past few
weeks she has shaken hands with 31,500 women and during the next three weeks she has
set a goal of meeting 40,000 more Californians personally." Haldeman said.
Mrs. Nixon is in Sacramento today for a major reception expected to attract more
than 1500 women. Nixon will start his stretch drive with a telethon in Sacramento
tonight and then move to the San Francisco area wednesday for a series of meetings
climaxed with a giant rally wednesday night.
Richard Nixon will spend two days of the final phase of his intensive hard driv-
ing campaign aboard a "Victory Express" campaign train which will make a whistle stop
swing along the California coast, stopping at 17 cities.
This will be the only campaign train of the 1962 election and it marks the first
coastal whistle stop trip in modern California campaign history.
Since the kickoff of the General Election campaign last September 12, Nixon has
traveled 17,775 miles, seen 445,800 Californians, and shaken 163,000 hands,
Since the general campaign, Nixon has also conducted 28 Walkathons, a part of his
person-to-person campaigning, thus establishing personal contact with more than
50,000 Californians in this manner.

This telegram was sent on October 14, 1962, -0 the Station Manager of
every Television station in California:
Mr. Brown's statement on Meet the Press tonight makes it clear that
he will continue to deny Californians the right to see the candidates
for Governor in debate under any circumstances, Therefore, the only
opportunity for the voters to watch and compare the two candidates is
by replaying the film and tape of the UPI confrontation which was
missed the first time by countless thousands of Californians.
Since Mr. Brown finally has agreed to my request for such rebroadcast,
I sincerely hope that you will clear time for the replay of the UPI program

Governor Edmund G. Brown was challenged today to repudiate the
support given his re-election campaign by the International Longshoremen
and Warehousemen's Union, controlled by "the notorious" Harry Bridges.
Edith Warren Quinn, Chairman of the Child Welfare Commission of the
American Legion, said, "The voters should know whether Brown specifically
opposes Harry Bridges and the powerful support his left-wing ILWU is giving
the Brown candidacy."
The role of the Bridges Union in support of Brown's candidacy was
described in an October 7 newspaper column (by Fulton Lewis, Jr.). In that
column, it was revealed that Brown, through a press aide named Wayne Harbert,
had refused to repudiate the ILWU endorsement.
Mrs. Quinn, of San Diego, said, "What is more astonishing is the fact
that Mr. Brown's spokesman, Mr. Harbert, appeared to be unaware of the left-wing
nature of this union. All he knew was that Harry Bridges appeared to be a
'controversial character.'
"Is it at all possible that Brown himself is unaware of the nature of
this union which is ardently supporting his re-election drive? Surely that
cannot be the case.
"Brown is from San Francisco and surely that 'FBI man' he is always
quoting must have told him about Harry Bridges," Mrs. Quinn said. "If not,
the Governor can familiarize himself with the background of this supporter by
reading the published reports of the California Fact Finding Committee on
Un-American Activities.
"I am sure the committee's chairman, Democratic Senator Hugh Burns,
already has sent him copies of the reports," she said.

Active support among registered Democrats for the candidacy of Richard Nixon is
"snow balling" it was reported today by Z. Wayne Griffin, chairman of the Southern
California Democrats for Nixon Committee,
Prominent Democrats, including the cousin of former President Harry S. Truman;
the widow of a former Democratic Congressman; and an official of Edmund Brown's 1958
gubernatorial campaign, today were announced as key members of the statewide committee
In addition, Griffin revealed that 43 new Democrats for Nixon headquarters have
been opened throughout California. Last week, 23,961 registered Democrats were signed
up forming a statewide striking force to turn out a decisive Democratic vote for the
former Vice President.
Griffin said 327 Democrats for Nixon community chairmen have been appointed.
Rolland Truman, cousin of the former President and a prominent South Gate attor-
ney, announced his support for Dick Nixon. "Although I'm supporting several Democra-
tic candidates, I cannot vote for Mr. Brown because he simply has not produced for
California," Truman said.
"Mr. Brown has been in office four years. His record speaks for itself. We are
first in total state taxes, first in major crime, first in property taxes and first
in the number of state employees.

"As an active member of the Los Angeles County Democratic Central Committee for
several years and as Southern Division chairman of the Young Democrate, I am disap-
pointed that this record has occurred under a Democratic Administration. Mr. Brown
must be held responsible.
"California must be first in achievement rather than spending. crime and taxes.
Dick Nixon has the judgment and the executive ability to give California the deci-
sive leadership we need for the first state in the nation." Truman declared.
Mrs. Irene Dockweiler, long a local Democratic Party leader, today announced
her support of Richard Nixon for Governor of California because "he will best serve
the best interests of the State and people."
She is the widow of John Dockweiler, former Democratic Congressman from Los
Angeles and District Attorney of Los Angeles County. She has filled important assign-
ments in the Foreign Service for the United States, serving in Amman, Jordan and
Tehran, Iran.
I am joining the Nixon campaign with hundreds of thousands of fellow Democrats
because I feel Mr. Brown, as head of the Democratic Party, is following the dictates
of the liberal thinking California Democratic Council.
"Thousands of Democrats crossed party lines every time Dick Nixon has been on
the ballot in California. This represents the confidence Democrats, Republicans and
Independents have in his high ideals and executive ability.
"Although I have been a lifelong Democrat, I realize that my obligation is
first to my state and country, regardless of party label. It is now the obligation
of every good Democrat to speak up and be counted as opposed to the irresponsibility
of the liberal leadership of the present administration.
"I have known Dick Nixon for many years and have watched his brilliant bareer
in public service with admiration. His courage, dedication, honesty and resource-
fulness recommend him unqualifiedly to be the next Governor of California.
Joseph F. Medeiros, chairman of the Merced County Brown for Governor Committee,
also declared his support for Nixon today charging Edmund Brown with an "obvious
lack of understanding of the problems of California.
"Governor Brown's administration has created a billion dollar increase in taxes
during his four years in office. Our taxes are too high. I know that Dick Nixon's
'Programs for a Greater California' will hold the tax line.
"California, as the first state in the nation, must be operated in a business
like fashion. Under the Brown Administration, however, we have seen government-by-
indecision," Medeiros concluded.

As Governor of California, I would support the efforts of
the Lake Elsinore Park and Recreation District to receive a state
loan to purchase water to restore the lake's recreational advan-
tages to the people of Southern California.
This is an excellent example of the way in which state
government can aid local groups in helping themselves. In providing
financing for the loan, we would utilize monies from the unclaimed
portions of gas tax revenues coming from fuel sold to motor board
operators.
It would be repaid out of revenues realized when Lake
Elsinore once again becomes a center for aquatic recreation.
The interest shown by the residents of the lake area and
their representatives in the State Legislature, Senator Lee
Backstrand and Assemblyman Gordon Cologne, should be an example
to people everywhere of what can be done in working out sound
solutions to these kind of local problems - not waiting for a
handout, but working for an opportunity.
