McCarthy, Republican leader of the State Senate,\ntoday called for a halt to the state's \"attempt to monopolize the\nemployment industry and drive private employment agencies out of\nbusiness.\"\nMcCarthy, of San Rafael, said in a Richard Nixon telethon in\nSan Diego that \"the legislature has refused to tolerate attempts of\ngovernment departments to expand without approval of the legislature.\n\"The State Department of Employment is trying to monopolize\nthe employment business by using taxpayers money to move in on\nlegitimate private employment agencies,' McCarthy said.\n\"The Department is trying to take over by saying its employ-\nment services are free. This is not true. The taxpayers pay for\nthe employment services provided by the state, and this tax money\nis being used to squeeze private business.\n\"The State Department of Water Resources under William E.Warne\ntried to expand its facilities all over the state in 1961, and even\nwent to the extent of leasing buildings for the expansion,\" McCarthy\nsaid.\nHe said, \"Sen. Hugh Burns, the president pro tempore of the\nsenate, found out about it and raised the roof. The legislature,\nat Burns instigation, ordered the Department not to expand.\"\nMcCarthy said that, ironically, the building in Fresno leased\nby the Department of Water Resources for expansion, is still empty\nalthough the State Department of Employment under Director Irving\nPerluss, has since leased another building of similar size and\nlocation.\"\n\"Rather than take the building already contracted for in\nFresno, Perluss, for some reason insisted on leasing a separate\nbuilding,\" McCarthy said. \"This is costing the state $1200 a month\nfor nothing.'\n\"In the City of Los Angeles,\" McCarthy said, \"the state is\nabout to cinch a contract for $13,500 a month to lease several\nfloors of a building in the high-rent Wilshire district for an\nemployment office.\"\nMORE\n@@@\n\"In this instance specifically, Perluss is trying to expand\nhis department into a bureaucracy that will reach for the employ-\nment business of highly-skilled office workers and executives.\n\"The state should restrict its employment business to finding\njobs for those persons who are out of work and are drawing un-\nemployment insurance,\" McCarthy said. \"It should not go into the\ngeneral business of trying to perform employment services for every-\none at the taxpayers' expense.\"\nMcCarthy said if the department persisted in this practice,\nhe would introduce a resolution in the 1963 legislature ordering\nthe department to stop immediately. \"I just don't want the state\nto get stuck for any more pre-arranged, long-term leases,\" he said.\n- 30 -\n10/12/62\nNIXON\nNEWS\nFOR GOVERNOR\nRELEASE\nIII\nState Headquarters: 3908 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles 5, California; DU 5-9161\nNews Bureau: Sandy Quinn -- Ron Ziegler\nHerbert G. Klein\nFor Release Friday AM's\nPress Secretary\nOctober 12, 1962\nDr. Cecil D. Hardesty, San Diego County Superintendent of\nSchools, today accepted the role of educational counselor in the\ncampaign of Richard Nixon for Governor of California and strongly\nurged his election as a \"positive\" means of safeguarding the state\neducational system.\nDr. Hardesty, who polled 660,000 votes for State Superin-\ntendent of Public Instruction at the Primary Election last June,\nwas named Chairman of the important Education Committee of the Nixon\nfor Governor Campaign.\nH. C. \"Chad\" McClellan, Southern California chairman of the\nNixon campaign, named Dr. Hardesty to head the committee. He\npointed to Dr. Hardesty's outstanding record in public education\nas eminently qualifying him to appraise Nixon's educational plans\nand policies.\n\"I am working to elect Dick Nixon governor because of his\nknown abilities for decisive action, long-range planning, and\nkeen interest in the welfare of our public schools,\" Dr.\nHardesty said in accepting the appointment.\n\"Education is nonpartisan. This has been Mr. Nixon's\nposition, and I am in favor of it.\n\"It is my continued position that we have first emphasis\non the teaching of American values and that we do a much better job\nin teaching under free enterprise.\n- More -\n2-2-2-\n\"Furthermore, Mr. Nixon opposes the trend toward greater\nState dictation of curricula and would keep control and direction\nof school districts at the local level.\n\"There has been no hesitancy on his part in speaking up in\nfavor of Proposition 1-A on the November 6 ballot that would pro-\nvide new funds for school expansion. As a native son, he has seen\nCalifornia grow and knows that it will continue to grow. He knows\nthe vital necessity of long-range educational planning.\"\n\"Mr. Nixon has pledged himself to correct the educational\nfailures of the current administration--the classroom shortages,\nthe half-day sessions, the textbook controversies.\"\n\"He is a man of his word. With him as governor, California\ncan look forward to sound, orderly administration of a State school\nsystem free of mismanagement and political quibbling.\"\nDr. Hardesty is widely known throughout the nation for his\neducational accomplishments. He ran a close third in the Primary\nElection for the State's top school job, a non-partisan office.\nBoth his opponents now in the runoff, Dr. Ralph Richardson,\nof Los Angeles, and Dr. Max Rafferty, of La Canada, later had high\npraise for the way he conducted his campaign and for his abilities\nas an educator and administrator.\nDr. Hardesty has been head of the San Diego County Schools\nsince 1950. From 1947 to 1950 he was superintendent of San Jose\ncity schools. Previously he had been assistant superintendent in\nBeverly Hills and superintendent in Montebello and Westminster.\nHe is past president of the California Association of School\nAdministrators, California Association of Public School Business\nOfficials, Southern Section, and immediate past president of the\nNational Association of County School Superintendents.\nDr. Hardesty also won the Educator's Award of the Valley\nForge Freedoms Foundation for 1962.\nServing nine years on the Legislation Committee of the Cali-\nfornia Teachers' Association has qualified him as one of the most\nexperienced educators in the State field.\n- 30 -\n10/11/62\nNIXON\nNEWS\nFOR GOVERNOR\nRELEASE\nIII\nState Headquarters: 3908 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles 5, California; DU 5-9161\nNews Bureau: Sandy Quinn - Ron Ziegler\nRemarks of RICHARD NIXON\nDowney Nixon for Governor Rally\n8:00 p.m. Downey High School\nFOR FLAT AM RELEASE\nOctober 11, 1962\nOctober 13, 1962\nA campaign smog screen of personal attacks and tough talk will not hide the\nweek-kneed narcotics record of the present state administration.\nEveryone in Downey, and throughout California, remembers the tragic 1960\nmurder of Leonard Moore, the high school student from this area who was killed by\ntwo young narcotics addicts.\nIn protest, the students from the Downey area asked Mr. Brown to put a\ntough narcotics program before the legislature. This was his reply: \"I don't believe\n(in having) 250 children calling on the Governor to discuss something they know no-\nthing about.\"\nLess than a month later, on April 4, 1960, my opponent said, \"I know that\nsimple enacting further increases in (narcotics) penalties or restrictions would not\nrid us of this menace.\"\nHe blocked the legislature from acting on narcotics control, while at the\nsame time, asking the legislature to abolish capital punishment.\nBut, on January 31, 1961, after another year of sharp rises in narcotics\noffenses, and strong pressure from law enforcement officials, civic and church leaders,\nMr. Brown was forced to publicly and completely reverse himself. He said, \"We pro-\npose harsher penalties for narcotic offenders--so that for the peddler the profit will\nnot be worth the risk.\"\nCalifornians forced him to support tough narcotics laws in 1961 against his\nwishes. Adult felony violations immediately dropped 18%. His indecision had ob-\nstructed the crackdown on narcotics for a full two years. Now it is of vital impor-\ntance that California have a stronger, more effective narcotics control program.\n-MORE-\n2-2-2\nToday under the present state administration, more major crimes are\ncommitted in California than in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania combined--\nalthough their combined population is twice as great as ours.\nAnd when the professional associaitions of our first-rate local law\nenforcement officers asked for stronger tools to do their job, Mr. Brown allowed\nall 15 of their proposals to die in the legislature.\nCalifornia cannot afford four more years of this kind of complacency and\nindecision.\nMy program will smash the narcotice traffic in California.\nFirst, it will stand squarely behind capital punishment, including the\ndeath penalty for big-time dope peddlers.\nSecond, it will forcefully back up our dedicated local peace officers,\ninstead of constantly cricitizing the Chief of Police and Sheriff of Los Angeles\nand others who are trying to develop a more effective program to deal with dope\npeddlers and addicts.\nThird, it will give our local law enforcement officials a realistic\nlegislative program so that they will no longer be hog tied in narcotice cases.\nWithin our constitutional framework, it will provide a reasonable definition of our\nsestchcand seizure laws and will protect the identity of informants, who are\nessential in narcotics cases.\nFourth, it will set up a top level Governor's Council on Crime Prevention\nand Law Enforcement to help educate our young people on the menace of dope and\ndangerous drugs and coordinate research on the causes and cures of narcotics addiction.\nAnd I challenge my opponent to debate my law enforcement program and his\nrecord any time, any place, in any format.\nNIXON\nNEWS\nFOR GOVERNOR\nRELEASE\nIII-\nState Headquarters: 3908 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles 5, California; DU 5-9161\nNews Bureau: Sandy Quinn Ron Ziegler\nRemarks by RICHARD NIXON\nFOR FLAT AM's RELEASE\nNixon for Governor Rally,\nOctober 12, 1962\nCity Hall-San Rafael\nOctober 11, 1962\nWhile my opponent and his hatchetmen have been dredging up the discredited\npersonal smears that Mr. Kennedy rejected in 1960, I have been travelling up and\ndown our state presenting 18 detailed and positive programs for a greater California.\nAnd this Sunday evening, I will broadcast my 19th program on freeways and\nrapid transit.\nFor those who wish to pretend that there are no issues in this election, let\nthem write or phone the Nixon headquarters for my complete four-year proposals on\nwelfare, taxes, government spending, jobs, depressed industries -- lumber, motion\npictures, aircraft production, government reorganization, senior citizens, crime,\ncommunism, water, education, agriculture, fish and game, civil rights, government\nappointments, and every major ballot proposition.\nAmong the programs I have proposed in the past four weeks are these:\nI have specified exactly how to cut $50 million dollars in government spend-\ning next year, including a $27 million dollar saving on welfare programs that will\nnot take one cent from the aged, the handicapped and others who deserve assistance.\nMy program for a \"California Legion of Service\" will mobilize the talents of\nour senior citizens to train the youth, especially the young people who have dropped\nout of school.\nIn an 8-point action program to fight crime, I call for the death penalty for\nbig-time dope peddlers.\nAnd to reverse the trend that is discouraging industry from locating in our\nstate and creating jobs, I have outlined a \"California Crusade for New Business In-\nvestment.\nThese are the four-year proposals that my opponent refuses to debate. And\nlet me reiterate: I will debate him on his record for my program any time, any place\nFOR PM RELEASE\nOctober 11, 1962\nREPUBLICAN STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE\n914 SOUTH OLIVE\nLOS ANGELES\nAssemblyman Harold K. Levering (R-Los Angeles) today called\nfor immediate public legislative hearings to investigate charges\nof \"conflict of interest\" by officials in the State Treasurer's\nOffice.\nLevering said state officials should \"be dedicated to working\nfor the people of California instead of trying to set up little\nfancy deals on the side for themselves.\"\nHe referred to charges yesterday by Assemblyman John A.\nBusterud, Republican candidate for State Treasurer, that the former\nand present Assistant Treasurers, E. Lee Friedrick and\nSantino D. Meo, were involved in investments in banks doing\nbusiness with the state during their service as state officials.\n\"In view of this disclosure, this would be a proper subject\nfor an immediate investigation by the Assembly Governmental\nEfficiency and Economy Committee,\" Levering said. Levering is a\nmember of the committee.\n\"I shall ask the chairman, Assemblyman Lester A. McMillan\n(R-Los Angeles) to start an investigation, \" he said. \"I don't\nthink that an Assistant Treasurer should get into a business of\nthis character. It appears to be a conflict of interest, and this\nsort of thing leads directly into corrupt practices.\n\"What they apparently are preparing to do is to direct\ndeposits of state money into the banks in which they have an\ninterest. Through these deposits, they certainly could gain\nincome through their ownership of bank stock,\" Levering said.\n\"If this continues,\" he said, \"It could lead to widespread\ncorruption and immense profits by state employees. Their time\nis supposed to be dedicated to working for the people of\nCalifornia instead of trying to set up little fancy deals on the\nside for themselves.\"\n- 2 -\nNIXON\nNEWS\nFOR GOVERNOR\nRELEASE\n⑉\nState Headquarters: 3908 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles 5, California; DU 5-9161\nNews Bureau: Sandy Quinn Ron Ziegler\nREMARKS BY RICHARD NIXON\nFOR PM RELEASE\nAT MARSHAL'S ASSOCIATION MEETING\nOctober 13, 1962\nDisneyland Hotel\nOctober 13, 1962\nI believe the State should present \"Oscars\" to our dedicated\nlocal peace officers. Consequently, as Governor of California, I\nam going to start a program of \"California State Awards for Excel-\nlence in Local Law Enforcement.\"\nTwo California State Awards will be given annually. One will\nbe \"The Friend of the Boy\" award to be given to the local law en-\nforcement official who has made the greatest contribution to\nencouraging youth and fighting juvenile delinquency. The second\npresentation will be \"The Beyond the Call of Duty\" award to be\ngiven for the finest act of bravery by a local law enforcement\nofficer.\nCandidates for these awards will be nominated by local citizens\nnewspapers and news media, and local governments. They will be\njudged under the existing State merit awards system. And the awards\nwill be made at a great annual statewide banquet.\nIt is essential that the image of law enforcement people be\nheld high, particularly by our young people. We know that those\nwho would subvert our ideals start by destroying respect for law\nenforcement officers.

These areas are: \"Operation Signboard\", Bumper strips, Ab-\nsentee Ballots, and Victory Squad.\n1. \"Operation Signboard\"\nEach Collegian for Nixon unit should sponsor a program of\nplacing Nixon signs, cards, pictures, and bumper strips in dorm\nwindows, fraternity and sorority windows, and other legal loc-\nations on well-traveled streets. Obtain these materials from\nyour local headquarters, if possible; a limited number of signs\nmay be obtained from Collegians for Nixon Headquarters, 6763\nHollywood Blvd., Hollywood 28, California.\n2. Bumper Strips\nAn effort should be made by each unit to get as many Nixon\nbumper strips on cars (with permission) as is humanly possible.\nTake a few hours on a Saturday morning and hit public parking\nlots, markets, etc. Get these \"moving billboards\" on cars this\nSaturday.\n3. Absentee Ballots\nDick Nixon won California in 1960 because of absentee ball-\nots. Urge students for Nixon who have not already done so to\nwrite his home county's Registrer of Voters for an absentee\nballot application. Applications must be filed by October 30.\nIf you are able to canvass precincts adjacent to your\ncampus, obtain a supply of your county's absentee ballot appli-\ncations and distribute them to Republicans and Nixon democrats.\nIn order to make sure they are mailed to the registrar: (1) have\nthe party fill out the application on the spot and you mail it\nin; or (2) make a list of those who took absentee applications\nand follow-up on them before October 30.\n4. Victory Squad\nWhether Dick Nixon wins or loses will depend upon the nu-\nmber of Republicans and Nixon Democrat voters who turn our way\non November 6. In order to insure a Nixon victory, your unit\nshould plan to participate in the local Victory Squad effort.\nThis program involves working from 3 P.M. to 7 P.M. on November\n6 in the area of getting our vote to the polls. Contact your\nlocal Republican Headquarters for details.\nIf your Collegians for Nixon unit will actively participate in\nthese areas we will WIN WITH NIXON!\nREGIONAL COLLEGIAN FOR NIXON UNITS WORK FOR NOVEMBER 6 VICTORY\nTHE CENTRAL REGION by Dick Crossman, Central Region Collegians for\nNixon Co-ordinator\nThe Collegians for Nixon in the Central Region have been very\nactive of late. At Fresno State, Rod Coburn, the campus chairman,\nannounced a membership moal of over 400, the early sign-up makes this\nfigure seem insignificant. The other colleges in the area are also\npushing a membership program, often in close co-operation with the lo-\ncal Young Republican groups.

It is not even a matter of\ngeography -- Washington being 3,000 miles removed from our\nproblems.\nThe reason why local problems are best solved by local\npeople and local government goestback to something Thomas Jeffer-\nson said 146 years ago, \"What destroys the liberty and the rights\nof man is concentrating all powers into one body.\"\nWhen it comes to our system of governing ourselves, in\ndiversity there is strength. Strong county government in\nCalifornia is the best and surest way to put the brake on the\ndangerous trend toward too much power in Washington and\nSacramento.\nWhether it is the location of a freeway or the design of a\nState building, today we see an unfortunate disregard for the\nwishes of the people and the local government most immediately\naffected.\nIn education, the trend is toward more and more State dicta-\ntion of curricula.\nIn welfare, the trend is toward more State control; less\ncounty control.\nThis is degrading to the dedicated and able men and women\nwho work in county and local government. Eut, even more important,\nit is degrading to the people of California since it assumes that\nBig Government knows best how to run our lives.\nAs leaders in your communities, you have a duty to ask every\ncandidate for national and state office where he stands on this\ninsidious trend toward all-powerful government. And as free\nCalifornians, you deserve to get this answer: \"When a job must\nbe done by government, I believe we must turn first to the govern-\nment closest to the people.\nNIXON\nNEWS\nFOR GOVERNOR\nRELEASE\nIII\nState Headquarters: 3908 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles 5, California; DU 5-9161\nRemarks by\nFOR FLAT AM's RELEASE\nRICHARD NIXON\nOctober 11, 1962\nSanta Monica Rally\nOctober 10, 1962\nThere is victory in the air. Throughout California our crowds have been tremen-\ndous and enthusiastic. Where comparisons can be made, we are outdrawing our opponent\nby better than three to one. His campaign is dying with apathy and ours is surging\nwith optimism.\nYet there is no surer sign of our victory than the strategy Mr. Brown has adopted.\nHe has been convinced that he must ignore the issues and resort to personal attack.\nEvery discredited smear that Mr. Kennedy refused to use in 1960 has been desper-\nately thrown at me in the past few days.\nThe faceless man who convinced Mr. Brown to reject the type of hard, clean fight-\ning that Mr. Kennedy used in 1960 has done him a great disservice. Mr. Brown is ill\nat ease in this role. He cannot square the campaign of personal vilification which\nhe has ordered his hatchetmen to launch against me with his great position of public\ntrust.\nThe least he owes Californians is to end his career as a man by standing up and\ndefending his record in face-to-face debate. He should stand up and fight like a man.\nI refuse to let this campaign sink to the personal level on which he has chosen\nto wage it. My campaign has been, and will continue to, waged on two grounds. (1)\nThe failure of the Brown Administration--First in Crime, First in Taxes, First in\nCost of Government, Ninth in Industrial Expansion; and (2) my positive program for a\ngreater California.\n-MORE-\n2-2-2\nMy plans for our State's future include a detailed $50 million cut in govern-\nment spending next year; a program to make one million new jobs in the next four\nyears, including a \"California Crusade for New Business Investment;\" the death penal-\nty for big-time dope peddlers; a three-point anti-communist program of legislation,\ninvestigation and education; an entirely new concept of how to make use of the tal-\nents of our senior citizens, which I call \"The California Legion of Service;\" a top-\nlevel Governor's Council on Law Enforcement and Crime Prevention to back up our de-\ndicated local peace officers and coordinate the fight against crime; a reorganiza-\ntion of government to save the taxpayers' money; and programs in civil rights, to\nrevitalize depressed industries such as motion pictures and lumber, recreation,\nagriculture, education and every other area of vital concern to our state.\nI have repeatedly challenged my opponent to publicly debate his record and my\nrecord; his program and my program -- any time, any place, any format.\nBut he has been talked into spreading discredited persona 1 attacks which he\nwas afraid to make in my presence. He will find on November 6th that the campaign\nof slander by innuendo being conducted by his hatchetmen is a water-logged life pre-\nserver.\n-30-\n10/9/62\nRemarks by\nDWIGHT D. EISENHOWER\nat the Cow Palace, San Francisco\nOctober 8, 1962\nAt the very outset, let me make one point.\nYou know I'm a Texan by birth, a Kansan by raising. Of course, my\nmother and father arranged that. But I'm a Pennsylvanian and a Californian\nby choice; in those two states Mamie and I make our home.\nI first reached this state forty-three years ago -- in the late summer\nof 1919. I had just finished a trans-continental trip with the first Army\ntruck convoy to run from the Atlantic to the Pacific.\nAfter weeks of mud roads and desert tracks, clogged-up radiators and\nblown-out tires, broken springs and missing road markers, California looked\ngood to me.\nIt looked so good that I have been coming back ever since.\nAnd, God willing, I'll be back again with my wife in January.\nIn any case, as an American, I am concerned with what happens in\nCalifornia because what happens in this state can directly and immediately\naffect every aspect of American life and the position of the Republic in\nthe world. We all know, of course, California is the fastest-moving state\nin the union -- thanks to the energy of its people, to their faith in them-\nselves, in the future of their state, in the providence of God.\nConsequently, today, in the number of students enrolled in its schools;\nin the number of men and women working in the modern technologies and on the\nlatest applications of science; in the certain expansion of this state in\nall the indices that measure social growth -- California towers above most\nof the sovereign nations of the earth.\nIn that light, not only as a Californian by winter-residence but as an\nAmerican and one who has at times been intimately associated with problems\nof global scope, I come here today to speak as forthrightly as I can about\na man who, I know, can carry, successfully, the heaviest possible loads of\ncivic responsibility.\nRichard Nixon is one man, so intimately and thoroughly known to me, that\nwithout hesitation I can personally vouch for his ability, his sense of duty,\nhis sharpness of mind and his wealth in wisdom.\nThrough eight years, in the Cabinet Room of the White House, in weekly\nsessions of the Cabinet and the National Security Council, he sat directly\nacross the table from me -- a mere few feet away.\nThere, I came to know him as a man can never be known from headlines\nabout him or speeches by him. My knowledge of him -- first-hand, immediate,\nthe product of my own close scrutiny -- grew in times of crises and of\nprogress toward their solution; in times of high resolve and purposeful\nplanning; in times of decisive action and of increase in America's leadership\nof free nations, I lived with him through years of intense discussion and\nthought and soul-searching.\nWhen we met in the Cabinet Room of the White House, around the long\ntable in that room were gathered at every meeting men and women who, in\ntheir dedication to the public good, constituted a gathering worthy of\nAmerica's highest purposes.\nThe matters before us were always important to the well-being of America;\noften of grave moment; sometimes critical in their impact on the prosperity\nand progress of the Republic; sometimes even fraught with the peril of war.\nIn every discussion, our single guide was the welfare and security of\nMORE\n-2-\nthe United States. But in the application of principle, there were often\nexpressed wide differences of opinion.\nThrough all these meetings, I could watch Dick Nixon; absorbed in the\nthoughtful and sober weighing of every word and idea.\nThe discussion ended, I frequently asked him to present a concensus of\nthe judgments expressed. This he did, always ignoring the trivial, the\nirrelevant, the imprudent; adding from his own insight and knowledge and\nconviction counsel that was always useful to me in making my decision.\nRepeatedly, he was my personal representative in affairs that ranged\nfrom meetings with small groups of visitors in Washington to momentous con-\nferences on the national and international level.\nOn my behalf, for example, he launched before the Conference of\nGovernors my administration's proposal for the most comprehensive highway\nprogram ever attempted by the Republic, in partnership with the states. For\nso titanic an enterprise, I could have found no better spokesman.\nAnother example: In addition to all his other duties, he took over at\nmy request the Chairmanship of the President's Committee on Government Con-\ntracts early in my administration. The ultimate purpose of this Committee\nwas to end discrimination because of race, national origin or religion by\nemployers doing business with the United States Government.\nAs Chairman, Dick Nixon launched an educational program of national\nscope. Conferences were held throughout the country. Thirteen hundred cases\nwere handled. And the walls of discrimination were broken down in area after\narea, from coast to coast, from Canada to the Gulf -- a unique demonstration\nof what can be accomplished when men of good will, in a climate of fair play,\nably led, sit down to talk out controversial problems and their decent solution.\nA third example: On my behalf and on behalf of every American, he\ntraveled the continents of the earth presenting the case and cause of the\nRepublic; never hesitant; never indecisive; never fearful; never brash;\nalways firm without arrogance, friendly without servility, courageous without\ntruculence -- a great American voice on the world scene.\nIn all that he did -- through the eight years we were together -- he\nproved himself an able leader; an outstanding executive; a public servant in\nthe finest American tradition.\nAlways through those years, he was only a heartbeat away from the\nPresidency of the United States. No one knew that fact better than I. And,\nknowing it, I had no worry about the future of the Republic -- should I be\nremoved from life.\nBecause of my knowledge of the man, I applauded his decision to enter\nthe race for Governor of California.\nOf course, after fourteen years of devoted service to the people of\nCalifornia in the Congress of the United States and to all Americans as Vice\nPresident, he had earned a rest.\nMoreover, I knew that he felt a personal obligation to give his daughters\nand his wife far more of his time than ever could be possible in the public\nservice.\nBut I feel most strongly that in this period of our history no man of\nDick Nixon's intellectual capacity, conscientious stewardship, superb leader-\nship should be permitted to stand on the side lines.\nThe Republic of the United States desperately needs in the public service\nmen and women of high competence, strong character, stout courage; men and\nwomen who have proved themselves.\nParticularly, their leadership is needed within the States and the Union\nMORE\n-3-\nwhere in legislatures and executive offices they can rally the enterprise and\nthe energy of people to do greatly the jobs that can be done best without\nWashington interference and rule.\nDick Nixon is uniquely fitted for such leadership. Out of fourteen\nyears in the nation's capital -- in both legislative and executive branches --\nhe knows well where Federal effectiveness ends and Federal waste begins;\nwhere Federal help must be had and Federal regimentation must be shunned;\nwhere and when the Federal Government can be a good servant; where and when\nit can become an evil master.\nSeveral months ago, in Denmark, I observed that one of the biggest mis-\ntakes of my political career was not working harder for Dick Nixon in 1960.\nI urge all of you at this dinner, and I urge all Californians, not to make\nthe same mistake this year.\nEach of you, as a citizen, has in this campaign an opportunity, a\nchallenge, an obligation to assure California great and responsible leader-\nship. Not one of you can afford to sit back and wait to see what happens.\nI urge those who believe in Dick Nixon as I do, to get up, get out and get\ngoing for him through every possible hour from now until Election Day.\nRichard Nixon has served his country well. I feel positive that he can\nserve the State of California equally well. I have full faith in the man.\nI endorse him one hundred per cent. Regardless of where I lived in the United\nStates I would be proud to have Richard Nixon as my Governor.\n****\nNixon for Governor\n3908 Wilshire Blvd.\nVOTE FOR NIXON\nLos Angeles 5, California\nNov. 6\nRICHARD NIXON SPEAKS TO CALIFORNIA'S SENIOR CITIZENS\nA digest of his statewide broadcast on\nOctober 6, 1962\nNearly nine Californians out of every 100 are over 65. If our 1.7 million\nsenior citizens were all in one city, the population would surpass Baltimore,\nMaryland -- the sixth largest city in the United States.\nThese people must have the opportunity to lead productive lives. California\ncannot afford to lose the talent and wisdom they have gained over the years. They\nmust have a chance to enjoy retirement.\nHere are five ways I hope to lead the way as Governor in the next four\nyears for older people to manage their own affairs and to have new dignity,\nhappiness and comfort.\n1. TAX REFORM\nI propose three immediate actions. First, I will provide leadership\nfrom the Governor's office to get tax relief on the homes of senior citizens who\nhave limited incomes. SECOND, I WILL OPPOSE SUCH MOVES AS THE ONE PROPOSED BY\nTHE STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION TO IMPOSE A STATEWIDE PROPERTY TAX FOR THE FIRST TIME\nIN CALIFORNIA HISTORY. Third, I will recommend that the California income tax be\nchanged to give a double exemption amounting to $3,000 to those over 65 and those\nwho are blind.\n2. MEDICAL AID\nFor 14 years I have supported the voluntary insurance principle as\nan effective approach to the problem of medical care. It uses government to spread\nthe risk. But it keeps government from coming between the patient and his doctor.\nAs Governor, I will continue to work to encourage the expansion of voluntary health\ninsurance in California.\nI will support Congressional action for government participation in the\npayment of premiums for private health insurance plans. SUCH LEGISLATION WOULD\nCOVER ALL PERSONS OVER ALL PERSONS OVER 65, NOT JUST THOSE ON SOCIAL SECURITY. It\nwould also provide for the cost of out-patient care and cover doctors' bills.\nI will seek to amend the California Medical Assistance Program for the Aged,\npassed in 1961, to ELIMINATE THE 30-DAY WAITING PERIOD. Cost of treatment does not\nwait 30 days and neither should payments under this program.\n-more-\n-2-\n3. ELIMINATE CHISELERS--PROTECT THE DESERVING:\nUnless steps are immediately taken to restore public confidence,\nthere will be a serious public reaction to the whole welfare program. I propose\na program to save $27 million annually in the handling of welfare. This savings\nwill come primarily from tightening regulations in the ANC program, which now\nmakes it more profitable for a man not to work than to work. AND THIS SAVING WILL\nBE MADE WITHOUT CUTTING ONE CENT FROM ASSISTANCE TO THE AGED, THE BLIND OR THE\nHANDICAPPED. My program wholeheartedly supports aid to the aged, the blind, the\ndisabled, and needy children. My program is aimed at getting chiselers off\nwelfare rolls.\n4. HOUSING\nWE MUST CREATE MORE HOUSING FOR THE ELDERLY AT PRICES THEY CAN\nAFFORD. I will work to establish a California Housing Finance Agency to harness:\nprivate investment to build housing for the aged.\n5. USEFUL LIVES\nWe must make maximum use of the talent and wisdom of our senior\ncitizens. I will mobilize the great talents, skills and training of our senior\ncitizens in a \"CALIFORNIA LEGION OF SERVICE.\" Retired persons will be asked to\njoin \"CALegion\" and help train our young people. The way this new plan will\nwork is that a \"CALegion\" Council will study community needs throughout the\nState and then issue calls for volunteers as need develops.\nThese are the five ways that I'll bring an added dignity to the lives\nof our senior citizens--not by degrading them with bureaucratic harassment and\nred tape, but by making government responsive to real needs.\nNIXON\nNEWS\nRELEASE\nFOR GOVERNOR\nIII\nState Headquarters: 3908 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles 5, California; DU 5-9161\nFOR WEEKLY PAPERS\n(Thursday 10/11/62 Release)\nEDITORS: Enclosed is a one column mat showing Pat Nixon during a\ntypical day of campaigning.

The former Vice President has proposed\npositive programs for corrections:\nCRIME: He points out California has the best local law\nenforcement officers in the country, yet California is first in\nthe nation in major crime and first in total criminal offenses.\nWhy?

A total of $27 million a year can be saved, he says,\nin federal, state and county costs and still give California\nthe most generous and humane program in the nation.\nJOBS: Unemployment in California has increased 44.8%\nin the past three years. To increase employment, Nixon would\nencourage new industry by holding the line on taxes and by a\n\"California Crusade for New Business Investment.\"\nThese are sound programs for California- and it is\nsound judgment to elect the man who proposes them Governor\nof California.\n-30-\nREPUBLICAN STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE OF CALIFORNIA\n914 S. Clive Street, Los Angeles\nMA. 5-1251\nContact: Ron Smith\nFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE\nThe Republican State Central Committee today ended a weekend workshop\nsession with a blistering attack on Governor Brown for \"waging a gutter campaign.\"\nThe GOP Committee, represented by 452 members from all over the state,\nadopted reports of four Saturday workshops including a scorching indictment of\nthe Brown campaign produced by a Public Relations and Communications Committee\nheaded by Joseph Martin, Jr., Republican National Committeeman for California.\nMartin reported his Committee agreed that Republicans should make every\nopportunity to point out that \"Brown is in the gutter and running a smear-a-day\ncampaign.\n\"Wc should also point out Brown's complete lack of moral courage in again\nbringing up the issue of Nixon's brether, after he weakly covered when Nixon put\nthe question to him directly.\n\"Any person without this moral courage is certainly not competent to face\nthe great decisions of this state.\nMartin's committee report, adopted unanimously by the Central Committee,\nfurther said \"Republicans should point out that Democrats using the floor of the\nUnited States Congress to fight the California campaign battle is unfair and\nridiculous. The Malaxa story was well known in 1960 -- President Kennedy didn't\nuse it at that time because he knew there was nothing in it.\"\nMovie actor Ronald Reagon wound up the two-day session at the Statler\nHilton by warning Republicans that \"the campaign is tough in California -- but\njust because it is going to be tough, don't say we can't do it. It is like the\npatient who asked his doctor, \"What can I do?; and the doctor replied, \"Eat the\nbest part of the chicken first.\n\"The most important thing for us to remember is not to sit out an election\nand neglect to go to the polls --that's the way for the other side to win. There\nis no candidate on the Republican side of the ballot who is not a far better choice\nthen his opposite number on the Democrat side.\"\nThe report of Martin's committee went on to say, \"The UPI side-by-side\nconfrontation is clear proof of the value of television debates.

He has offered to meet Mr. Brown again under any\nterms.\nmore\n-2-\n\"The Republican State Central Committee calls on Mr. Brown to raise\nhis campaign from the gutter and to address himself to the issues, rather\nthan hiding behind a barrage of news releases.\n\"Mr. Brown is doing a disservice to the voters of California in\nrefusing further debates, in refusing to permit the reshowing of film of the\nUPI debate, and in permitting his campaign mouthpieces to make an issue of\nsomething on which he admits he has no evidence.\"\n-30-\nASSEMBLYMAN HOWARD THELIN\nFOR WEDNESDAY RELEASE\nGlendale, California\nOctober 8, 1962\n(Citrus 3-4466)\nGovernor Edmund G. Brown was urged today to make known the\nidentity of the \"FBI man\" who, he claimed, had informed him that\nthe Federal Bureau of Investigation could \"put their hands on every\nCommunist in California in 15 minutes.\"\n\"Its shocking to hear that any responsible official of the\nFBI would have made any such statement to the Governor,\" said\nThelin.\n\"This is not to say that the FBI, despite vociferous opposi-\ntion from within Brown's own party, is not doing the best job\nhumanly possible in keeping track of the Communists. But for a\nresponsible FBI official to make the complacent statement attri-\nbuted to him by Brown just doesn't make sense.'\nBy saying this, Governor Brown is obviously seeking to dis-\ncount the domestic Communist threat as being insignificant. The\nFBI, from J. Edgar Hoover down, has never scoffed at the Communist\nmenace.\nIn fact, Mr. Hoover only recently commented on the inclina-\ntion throughout the nation to minimize the internal threat of\nCommunist activity.\nThe FBI chief was quoted in the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner\non July 2, 1962, as having observed:\n\"This tendency can have tragic consequences since the Com-\nmunist party, U.S.A., the largest subversive organization in our\nnation today, is part and parcel of the predatory empire of the\ninternational Communist conspiracy whose ultimate objective is\nworld domination by communism.'\nButtressing Mr. Hoover's analysis was a remark made by\nAttorney General Robert F. Kennedy: \"Communism is a very serious\nthreat and anyone who underestimates the danger of that threat is\ndoing a disservice to the country.'\nAttorney General Kennedy made that statement in Seattle on\n- More -\n2-2-2-\nAugust 7, 1962. It was a reply to a speech of August 6, before\nthe 13-state Western Democratic Conference by W. H. (Ping) Ferry,\nwho had accused FBI Director Hoover of \"sententious poppycock\"\nin building what he called a \"false legend\" of Communism's strength.\n\"While many patriotic Democrats took exception to 'Ping'\nFerry's incredible assertions,\" said Thelin, \"we still have not\nheard from Governor Brown, a leader of his party. This would be\nan opportune moment for Brown to state his opposition to 'Ping'\nFerry's anti-FBI assertions.\"\n\"And,\" added Thelin, \"does Governor Brown agree, or disagree,\nwith J. Edgar Hoover's warning to the nation not to minimize the\ndomestic Communist threat? These are serious questions which\ndeserve serious answers. Now is the time for Governor Brown to\nspeak up.\"\n\"How does he stand?\"\n- 30 -\n10/5/62\nNIXON\nNEWS\nFOR GOVERNOR\nRELEASE\nIII\nState Headquarters: 3908 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles 5, California; DU 5-9161\nNews Bureau: Sandy Quinn -- Ron Ziegler\nRemarks by\nFor FLAT AM Release\nRICHARD NIXON\nOctober 10, 1962\nBefore Food Industries Sales Managers\nClub of Los Angeles\nEmbassy Room, Ambassador Hotel\nOctober 9, 1962\nThere is nothing wrong with California's business climate that a dynamic \"sales\nmanager\" in Sacramento can't cure. California is a great product with the manpower,\nthe talent, and the resources to lead the nation, Yet we rank ninth in industrial\nexpansion. It is time for new management in the front office.\nOur quota over the next four years is one million new jobs. We can top this goal\nby 1) starting a \"California Crusade for New Business Investment\", and 2) cutting the\ncost of government so as to reduce the taxpayers' burden which is the heaviest in the\nUnited States.\nToday California has the most costly state administration in the history of our\ncountry. This has necessitated nearly $1 billion of new taxes in four years to pay for the\noperation of our state government.\nI pledge to cut $50 million from government spending in California next year by\nmaking savings in five areas.\n1. $27 million can be saved on welfare programs without cutting one cent from the\naged, the handicapped and others who are entitled to assistance. Getting chiselers out of\nthe ANC program will save $25 million. Another $2 million can be saved by just bringing\ndrug prescriptions into line with Veterans Administration procedures.\n2. $15 million can be saved on personnel by not filling positions in \"non-growth\"\ndepartments and by cutting down on State press agents.\nas More -\n- 2 -\n3. $6 million can be saved in the mental hygiene program by not allowing derelicts\nto use State institutions as winter resorts.\n4. $1 million can be saved by abolishing the super-agencies that come between the\nGovernor and the operating level of the State and confuse the chain of command.\n5. Another $1 million can be saved by following the Legislative Analyst's\nrecommendations to cut the fat out of Mr. Warne's Water Agency and by ending non-\nessential government studies.\nThe present state administration is running on a platform that would cost an addi-\ntional $1. 36 billion over the next four years. This 49-page document does not contain a\nsingle proposal to cut the cost of government.\nSo what is involved in this election is more than my proposal to save $50 million next\nyear. What is involved is the basic question: Should government care about the people's\nmoney? The people pay for government. And Californians deserve a government that\nwants to take less from the people so that the people will have more for themselves. Only\nthis type of concern for the people will bring our taxes down and encourage industries to\ncreate new jobs in California.\n- 30 -\nNIXON\nNEWS\nRELEASE\nFOR GOVERNOR\nIII\nState Headquarters: 3908 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles 5, California; DU 5-9161\nHERBERT G.KLEIN\nPRESS SECRETARY\nFOR RELEASE SUNDAY\nOctober 7, 1962\nA reunion with former President Dwight Eisenhower will open\nRichard Nixon's fifth week of intensive campaigning tomorrow (Monday)\nas the two meet in Los Angeles at 10:00 AM and fly to San Francisco\nfor a downtown motorcade at noon.\nGeneral Eisenhower, a part time resident of California, will\nstay in the Bay City to address a campaign fund raising dinner at\nthe Cow Palace.

Klein\nThis the third broadcast in a series that I call, \"Programs for a Greater\nCalifornia\". Each Sunday evening until election day, I will show you how decisive\nleadership can solve the pressing problems of our state.\nOn my first program, I presented an eight-point anti-crime program which in-\ncludes strong backing for our dedicated local law enforcement officials, a top-level\nGovernor's Council to coordinate the fight for a safer California, and the death\npenalty for big-time dope peddlers.\nLast week, I discussed 12 steps to better education for all our young people\nover the next 4 years.\nTonight, I want to talk about the special needs of our elderly citizens. And\nI will spell out the five ways a new governor can lead the way to happier and more\nmeaningful lives for Californians over 65.\nNearly nine Californians out of every 100 are over 65. If our 1.7 million\nsenior citizens were all in one city, its population would surpass Baltimore,\nMaryland -- the sixth largest city in the United States. In fact, in 1960, there\nwere 28,007 persons over 85 years of age in our state -- the equivalent of a city\nthe size of Monrovia.\nThese people must have the opportunity to lead productive lives. California\ncannot afford to lose the talent and wisdom that they have gained over the years.\nThese people must have a chance to enjoy retirement. When they rely on govern-\nment programs and services, they must not be subjected to thoughtless bureaucratic\nharassment,\nAnd these people must have our respect, as the Third Commandment -- \"Honor Thy\nFather and Mother\" -- directs.\n-MORE-\n2-2-2\nDuring my years in Congress, I supported legislation in 1948, 1949 and 1950 to\nincrease payments and extend benefits under the Social Security program, increase\nbenefits for retired railroad workers and increase payments to the blind.\nThen, during the Eisenhower-Nixon Administration, we were further able to\nbroaden Social Security coverage, make an additional eleven million people eligible\nfor Social Security, allow women to receive Social Security at age 62, and in-\ncrease payments by 25% to 30%.\nYet today there are still many senior citizens who are seriously pressed by\nthe mounting cost of medical care, the limited opportunity to earn an income to\nsupplement their pensions, and the hazards of inflation.\nI'd like to read you one of the many letters I receive from older people.\nThis is dated September 25 and comes from a lady in Compton. She writes:\n\"Dear Mr. Nixon:\n\"I am writing you in regard to relief of real property taxes on elderly people\nwho are over 70 years and in the lowest income group.\n\"Now that I am 76 years of age, also have an income of less than $600 per\nyear, I find it difficult to raise this tax every year, and then too, everything\ncontinues to rise in cost. Inflation has taken savings of years past and sick-\nness, dental and eye glasses are to be met quite often.\n\"I hope you will consider this appeal and do something for us who are very\nmuch in need of relief.\"\nHere is a person who had planned for the day when she would no longer be able\nto work. She had set aside savings for this purpose. Over the years she had also\nmanaged to buy a home. Yet a cruel inflation has reduced the value of her savings\nby almost one-half. At the same time, taxes have sky-rocketed and failing health\nadds to her burden. This lady, and many like her, now faces the prospect of\npossibly having to sell her home; moving away from friends into a strange neighbor-\nhood, probably into housing that is below the standard she is used to,\nThese problems matter to me and I believe they must be of concern to everyone.\nWe must take steps to solve them now -- or they will grow much worse as a greater\npercentage of our population becomes older.\nI propose a five-point plan for the next 4 years to enable our older people to\nmanage their own affairs and to have new dignity, happiness and comfort.\n1. We must have tax reform to aid our older citizens.\nI propose three immediate actions. First, I will provide leadership from the\nGovernor's office to get tax relief on the homes of older citizens who have\n-MORE-\n3-3-3\nlimited incomes. Second, I will vigorously oppose moves, such as the one recently\nproposed by the State Department of Education, to impose a statewide property tax\nfor the first time in California history. And third, I will recommend to the\nlegislature that the California income tax be changed to give a double exemption\namounting to $3,000 to those over 65 and those who are blind. This will bring our\nstate in line with federal income tax provisions.\n2. We must improve our assistance to older people during times of illness.\nI know from first-hand experience what long illness can do to a family's\nfinances. My father was under medical care for 6 years before he died, so I know\nthe burden of mounting bills for hospital care, medicine and doctors.\nVarious solutions have been proposed to help meet the cost of medical care.\nBack in 1949, when I was a Congressman, I introduced legislation called, \"The\nNational Health Bill\", which was a health insurance plan with both individual and\ngovernment participation. My plan also called for an increase in appropriations\nfrom $75 million to $175 million for hospital construction, and the creation of\ncommunity health centers.\nFor 14 years I have supported the voluntary insurance principle as the most\nconstructive and effective approach to the problem of beating the cost of medical\ncare. It uses government to help spread the risk. But it keeps government from\ncoming between the patient and his doctor. As Governor, I will continue to work\nto encourage the expansion of voluntary health insurance in California.\nSecond, I will support Congressional action for government participation in\nthe payment of premiums for private health insurance plans -- that is called \"The\nBow Bill\". Such legislation would cover all persons over 65, not just those on\nSocial Security. It would also provide for the cost of out-patient care and cover\ndoctors' bills.\nThird, I will seek to amend the California Medical Assistance Program for the\nAged, passed in 1961, to eliminate the 30-day waiting period. Cost of treatment\ndoes not wait 30 days and neither should payments under this program.\nThis law was passed to implement the Kerr-Mills Act, which I have always\nsupported. This is a new program and should be given a fair chance to prove its\nworth before rushing off to enact other untried approaches.\nIt should also be pointed out that the Kerr-Mills plan, which provides medical\nassistance for all elderly people in need, covers every expense of sickness --\n-MORE-\n4-4-4\nhospital and nursing care, drugs, doctors' services, out-patient costs. The King-\nAnderson Bill, the so-called medicare program, covers only hospital and nursing\nhome care and is only for people on Social Security.\nThe issue of medicare has become so heated that it is now necessary to review\nits background. For 17 years some form of this proposal to provide for medical care\nunder Social Security has been before the Congress. It has never passed. It was\ndefeated in the Senate in 1960. It was again defeated by the Senate in 1962.\nTherefore, for realistic and practical reasons, I believe it is necessary to get to\nwork on legislation that will pass; to get to work on legislation that will effective\nly deal with the problem of getting proper medical care for our elderly population --\nand stop allowing politicians to exploit this issue by refusing to budge from a\nparticular bill that has been consistently voted down for 17 years. This is another\nreason why I propose expanded programs of health insurance and ways to improve\nexisting laws.\n3. We must strengthen our welfare programs, by better administration and by\ngetting the chiselers off the rolls so that assistance to the deserving people will\nnot be endangered.\nThe important point I want to stress is that the people now receiving welfare\nassistance have the greatest stake in seeing that these programs are not undermined\nby chiselers. Unless steps are immediately taken to restore public confidence,\nthere will be a serious public reaction to the whole welfare program.\nI have proposed a program which will save $27 million annually in the handling\nof welfare. This savings will come primarily from tightening regulations in the ANC\nprogram, which now often makes it more profitable for a man not to work than to work.\nAnd this savings will be made without cutting one cent from assistance to the aged,\nthe blind, or the handicapped.\nYet my opponents are now conducting a vicious campaign of lies and distortions.\nThey call my positive program a \"hate-the-needy scheme\". They say my plan \"would\ncreate wholesale suffering and actual starvation to thousands of aged, blind and\ndisabled Californians\". There is not one word of truth in their charges.\nMy program would save the taxpayers' money, including the elderly taxpayers'\nmoney. My program wholeheartedly supports aid to the aged, the blind, the disabled,\nand needy children. My program is aimed at getting chiselers off welfare rolls.\nAnd this is in the very best interest of all Californians regardless of their\npolitical affiliations or their economic status.\n-MORE-\n5-5-5\n4. We must create more housing for the elderly at prices they can afford.\nI will work to establish a California Housing Finance Agency to harness\nprivate investment to build housing for the aged.\nOne of the most distressing problems of our senior citizens, especially those\nwho are single, is the shortage of reasonably priced, decent housing.\nUnder the Eisenhower-Nixon Administration, single elderly persons were made\neligible for public housing for the first time. Another program initiated under\nour administration made more housing for the elderly possible by insuring mortgages\nup to 90% of cost for non-profit construction. There has already been progress\nmade in California under this program.\nBut we can and must do better. New York, with the same population as California\nincreased housing facilities for the aged by 75% in the last three years. California\nis now passing New York in pepulation and we cannot continue to fall behind it in\nmeeting this serious problem.\n5. We must make maximum use of the talent and wisdom of our senior citizens.\nI will mobilize the great talents, skills and training of our senior citizens\nin a \"California Legion of Service\".\nSo that the experience and knowledge of a lifetime can be used in building a\ngreater California, retired persons will be asked to join \"CALegion\" and help train\nour young people.\nYoung people, especially those with inadequate schooling, will be instructed\non an \"each-one-teach-one\" basis. They will learn carpentry or masonry or any\nother occupation from a teacher who has devoted his life to developing a particular\nskill.\nI am sure that the thousands of volunteer teachers in \"CALegion\" will also get\na real sense of satisfaction from sharing their skills and helping to build the\nhuman resources of our state.\nThe way this new plan will work is that a \"CALegion\" Council will study\ncommunity needs throughout the state and then issue calls for volunteers as a need\ndevelops.\nFor example, there is now a program in Madera County in which citizens help\nrehabilitate juvenile offenders. The volunteers in this program have found that\nsome of these young people had never been to a ball game, or gone fishing, or dis-\ncussed their problems with an adult. After eight months under this program, not one\nboy assigned to an older person has been returned to the court.\n-MORE-\n6-6-6\nSuch use of volunteers will be studied by the \"CALegion\" Council and then a\ncall will go out for the volunteers needed to do the job.\nThe Council might also determine that 200 retired nurses are needed to help\nin community hospitals, or that 150 retired cosmeticians are needed to visit out-\npatients, or that 300 retired teachers are needed to instruct children who are\nconfined to bed.\nI believe this is a new and positive way to use government to recruit the\nmanpower that is ready and willing to lend a helping hand. I know that our older\ncitizens will respond to this call to serve our state and serve the future.\n******\nThese are the five ways that I'll bring an added dignity to the lives of our\nsenior citizens -- not by degrading them with bureaucratic harassment and red tape,\nbut by making government responsive to real needs.\nI predict that the program I have presented tonight, including the creation of\na California Legion of Service, will become a model for other states to follow --\na model of how to effectively help senior citizens to lead creative lives by helping\nthem to serve their state and nation.\n-30-\n10/5/62\nNIXON\nNEWS\nRELEASE\nFOR GOVERNOR\nIII\nState Headquarters: 3908 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles 5, California; DU 5-9161\nHERBERT G.

This proposal\nis typical of the Brown administration's refusal to take cognizance of the tax\nrevolt among millions of homeowners in California.\nOur junior colleges must have greater state financial support than they are\nnow getting under the Brown administration, but this additional money should come\nfrom the State's General Fund--not from a statewide property tax.\nOur expanding Junior colleges are a great asset to all Californians. It is\nnot right for the property taxpayers to be singled out and saddled with most of\nthe junior college's cost.\nFor the state to levy a property tax would be an invasion of a tax field long\nreserved for local governments. It could seriously weaken local government in\nCalifornia.\nAverage property taxes are now $600 a year for a family of four in California.\nIn the last three years property taxes for school support have gone up nearly three\ntimes faster thnn the population has grown; property taxes for county support have\nincreased more than twice as fast as the population. We are fast reaching the\npoint where private home ownership will be too expensive for anyone but the very\nrich. The state must not now add to this burden.\n-30-\n10/3/62\nNIXON\nNEWS\nRELEASE\nFOR GOVERNOR\nLITHO.IN\nState Headquarters: 3908 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles 5, California; DU 5-9161\nYOUTH TO CAMPAIGN FOR NIXON\nFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE\nEnlistments in the Southern California Youth for Nixon corps of\ncampaigners hit the 1,650 mark today.\nLarry Gould, Jr., 16 who resides in the San Gabriel Valley has\nbeen named chairman of the youth group.

Klein, Press Secretary\nRemarks by RICHARD NIXON\nFor Flat AM Release\nSouth Bay Rally\nOctober 5, 1962\nMira Costa High School\nManhattan Beach, California\nThursday, October 4, 1962\nCalifornia cannot afford four more years of the Brown Admini-\nstration -- the most expensive state government in the history of\nour country, which has imposed on Californians the greatest additional\nstate tax burdens known to man.\nThe voters must now choose between Mr. Brown and raising taxes,\nor new leadership and cutting the cost of government so as to reduce\ntaxes.\nWhile my opponent pledges no new taxes next year, his admini-\nstration is now considering three proposals to increase taxes.\nEither the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing\nor else the people are being told less than the full story of our\nstate's financial condition.\nRight now state planners are looking into the advisability of\nsoaking Californians with a statewide property tax, a rise in the\ncigarette tax, and a state withholding tax.\nI oppose all three moves. I call on my opponent to also publicly\nrepudiate these taxing schemes.\n1. Statewide Property Tax\nOn September 28, Dr. Wallace W. Hall, State Associate Superin-\ntendent of Public Instruction, testified before the Assembly Interim\nSubcommittee on Higher Education in favor of a statewide property tax.\nHe recommended a tax of 20 cents for each $100 of assessed property.\nYesterday I strongly stated my views on this plan in detail.\n-MORE-\n2-2-2\nI oppose any state attempt to invade a tax field that has long been\nreserved for local government. And I oppose any state move to add a\nheavier tax burden on our homeowners.\n2. New Cigarette Tax\nIn 1959, as part of the program that gave California the largest\ntax increase in the history of any state, my opponent put through a\nthree cents a package tax on cigarettes.\nNow, according to veteran Sacramento reporter Henry C. MacArthur\nof the Capitol News Service, \"The administration is considering asking\nfor an additional cent on cigarettes.\"\nMr. Brown has never denied this report. What is his position\nnow?\n3. State Withholding Tax\nAt the last session of the legislature, a resolution was passed\nto study a state withholding tax. Then, on May 8, the Department of\nFinance sent a questionnaire to all states that now have withholding\ntaxes. But, far from simply trying to find out how withholding tax\nsystems work, the Brown Administration asked questions designed to\nanticipate the politics of getting a withholding tax passed. On page\nthree, this questionnaire asks: \"Was there any opposition tn the\nlegislation which proposed withholding from any of the following?\nEmployer, Taxpayer, Unions, Chamber of Commerce, Special Interest,\"\nIf the state is now preparing the groundwork for a withholding\ntax, the people should know about it.\nI am opposed to this system of state taxation. In operation, a\nwithholding tax borrows money from those who can least afford it.\nOfficials at the State Board of Equalization have already been asked\nto compute the cost to the taxpayer of this scheme. By their calcu-\nlations, an additional $45 to $60 million will be collected each year.\nThe catch is that the State will have to return all but $15 million\nbecause it will have been collected from those people who earn so\nlittle that they will not owe the State the taxes which have already\nbeen withheld.\n-MORE-\n3-3-3\nThis will just be another example of the boondoggling with kited\nchecks for which this administration is already famous. The refunded\nmoney is nothing more than an interest-free loan to the state from\npeople in the lowest income brackets.\n*****\nOnly a Houdini could pledge massive additional government spending\nand no new taxes - and not welsh on one or the other of his promises.\nYet my opponent pledges no new taxes while running on a Party\nplatform that promises $1,360,000,000 in new spending over the next\nfour years. Where does he propose to get this money? From a state\nproperty tax? From a new cigarette tax? From a withholding tax?\nThe people of California have the right to know whether Mr. Brown\nis already hedging on his \"no-new-tax\" promise.\n-30-\n10/3/62\nNIXON\nNEWS\nFOR GOVERNOR\nRELEASE\nIII\n-\nState Headquarters: 3908 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles 5, California; DU 5-9161\nNews Bureau: Sandy Quinn - Ron Ziegler\nHerbert G.

If I am elected, I\nwill stop the rise in taxes. I will cut government expenses so that we can get the\nsurplus that will allow us to reduce taxes.\nThe choice is clear: A vote for Brown is a vote to increase taxes; a vote for\nNixon is a vote to cut spending, stop the rise in taxes, and reduce the burden on the\ntaxpayers.\nMy opponent has made a \"no tax\" promise that he can't possibly keep and\nstill keep his other campaign promises. It is this stark fact that the present State\nadministration now tries to cover up by manufacturing myths of fiscal responsibility,\nbalanced budgets, and meaningless pledges to turn over a new leaf and go straight\nnext year.\nLet us explode these myths right here and now.\n1. The Myth of Fiscal Responsibility\nMr. Brown, October 1: \"The first thing I had to do as Governor of the State\nwas to assure the people of the State that they would have fiscal responsibility in their\nState government. My friends, they have had it. \"\nIs it fiscal responsibility to raise the State budget 52. 6%, while the population\nhas gone up only 15.5%. This has been done.\nIs it fiscal responsibility to raise individual personal income taxes 106. 2%,\nwhile the population has gone up only 15. 5%? This also has been done.\nIs it fiscal responsibility to raise the authorized bonded debt of the State\n110. 4%, as has been done?\nIs it fiscal responsibility to raise the State payroll 47% and the number of State\nemployees 26. 4%?\nAfter looking at the Brown record of so-called \"fiscal responsibility\", I can\nonly agree with him that the people \"have had it. \"\n-More-\n- 2 -\n2. The Myth of the Balanced Budget\nMr. Brown, October 1: \"We have had four balanced budgets. \"\nLast year, the present State administration spent $4, 222, 000, 000 the\nhighest State spending in the nation.\nLast year, the present State administration taxed the people $4,156, 000, 000 --\nalso the highest state tax collection in the nation.\nIn other words, Mr. Brown spent $66 million more than he took in.\nIn order to claim a balanced budget, as he now does, he had to borrow\n$66 million, which he did.\nFor the moment, let us stop talking about billions and millions. Let us say\nthat you earned $5,000 last year and spent $6,000 you would be a thousand dollar S\nin debt. If you then went to the bank and borrowed the extra thousand dollars to pay\nyour bills, you would actually be further in debt . for you would have to pay interest\non your loan. You would hardly brag that you had balanced your family budget.\nYet Mr. Brown has done just this and on the grandest scale in history.\nClearly, his claim of a balanced budget is nothing more than a grandstand play.\n3. The Myth of No Tax Increase Next Year.\nMr. Brown, October 1: \"I have made a pledge that there will be no new\ntaxes next year. \"\nAs long as Mr. Brown supports his party's platform, a tax increase is\ninevitable. The cost of the 1962 Democratic State Platform in additional spending in\nCalifornia over the next four years will be a minimum of $1,360,000,000. Where can\nthe State possibly get that kind of money without raising our taxes ?\nLast Monday, in our joint appearance, I gave my opponent the opportunity to\nrepudiate this plan to drive our State to the poorhouse. He refused to do so.\nIn fact, while pledging \"no new taxes, I have learned that the present State\nAdministration is right now considering three new taxes. Tomorrow in Manhattan\nBeach I will set forth the new tax proposals now under consideration by the Brown\nAdministration.\nThe people of California already pay out 30 cents on every dollar in taxes,\nThey deserve more than the meaningless moratorium on new taxes that the present\n-More-\nI\n- 3 -\nState administration proposes in an eleventh hour attempt to disguise its record of\nincrease of nearly one billion dollars in new taxes over the past four years.\nThe people of California deserve a government dedicated to bringing taxes\n-\ndown -- and this will only happen when government stops spending the taxpayers'\nmoney as if it were going out of style.\n-\n- 30 -\nHerbert G. Klein\nFor Release A.M.'s\nPress Secretary\nOctober 3, 1962\nNixon for Governor Headquarters throughout California have\nbeen beseiged with telephone calls and telegrams since Richard\nNixon's joint appearance with Edmund G. Brown before the United\nPress International Conference in San Francisco, it was revealed\ntoday by Herbert G. Klein, Nixon Press Secretary.\nA survey of Nixon State Headquarters showed that more than\n2,700 congratulatory telegrams had been received, and thousands\nof phone calls were taken in the two hundred state headquarters.\nThe switchboard at the Nixon State Headquarters in Los\nAngeles was jammed for hours after the program was seen on tele-\nvision and heard on radio. \"Dick Nixon scored a knock-out over\nBrown before the eyes of millions of Californians,\" Klein said.\n\"Without question, this was the most dramatic event of the\ncampaign thus far, and the difference between Dick Nixon and Mr.\nBrown was so clear-cut that two definite effects already are\napparent (1) Nixon workers already have volunteered by the\nhundreds as a result of Mr. Nixon's inspired, hard-hitting dis-\ncussion of the issues. The volunteers include many Democrats.\n(2) The number of undecided voters in California has drastically\ndecreased with thousands of these people going to the support\nof Nixon after seeing directly the differences between his pro-\ngram and those of Mr. Brown,\" Klein said.\n\"Even notes and planted questions couldn't help Mr. Brown.\nTypically, many of the telegrams described the joint press con-\nference as a mismatch\", Klein said.\nZ. Wayne Griffin, co-chairman of the Democrats for Nixon,\nsaid that as a result of the dramatic televised press conference,\nhis executive committee had sharply raised its sights for working\nmembers, and now is dedicated to forming an active committee of\n15,000 working Democrats instead of the 10,000 as previously\nannounced. Griffin said his committee now has 8,725 workers\npledged to work actively for the election of Dick Nixon with\nmore coming in daily.\nMore\n2-2-2-\n\"Mr. Nixon will continue to seek additional opportunities\nfor a debate with Mr. Brown\", Klein said. \"There is no question\nbut that the voters want to see more direct man-to-man debates\nin California. Unfortunately, Mr. Brown is in retreat. We\nbelieve that the pressure of California voters will cause the\nGovernor to reconsider his position. If he fails to do so, it\ncan only mean that he does not have enough confidence in his own\nability and his own record to place it before the voters for this\nkind of scrutiny\".\nKlein said that Nixon's offer of free time on any of his\nremaining six telethons would continue to remain open to Mr. Brown.\n\"Even in tonight's program at Bakersfield, or Friday night's\ntelethon in Fresno, arrangements could be made to allow Mr. Brown\nto appear so that both candidates could ask each other questions\ndirectly,\" Klein said.\n- 30 -\n10/2/62\nNIXON\nNEWS\nRELEASE\nFOR GOVERNOR\n111\nState Headquarters: 3908 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles 5, California; DU 5-9161\nHerbert G.

We welcome him to our fair climate. But we do not\nwelcome his attempt to put California's farmers in a bureaucratic straightjacket\nmade in Washington, D.C.\nThe California farmer does not need to be told about marketing orders from\nthe man from Minnesota. We can tell him that the concept of marketing orders\noriginated in our state nearly 30 years ago and has always had bi-partisan support.\nBut Californians believe that marketing orders mean self-management from the bottom\nup, rather than know-it-all management from the top down.\nToday, in California, our number one industry is being treated like a step-\nchild. This is particularly evident from the low calibre of the agricultural\nappointees in the present state administration. And it is impossible to get a\nfirst-rate job out of second-rate politicians.\nDuring the past four years, the great California tradition of a nonpartisan\nState Board of Agriculture has been shattered and the Board now consists of eight\nmembers of the same political party and one traditionally academic member.\nThe key position of State Director of Agriculture was first turned over to\nCzar William Warne, who tried to kidnap the Department and bury it in his empire,\nand then turned over to James Ralph, who was later fired by the Federal government\nfor accepting favors from Billie Sol Estes.\n*******\n-MORE-\nSan Joaquin Valley Tour (continued)\n2-2-2\nWe must replace indecision and incompetents with this five-point program for\ndynamic state leadership.\n1. California's agricultural programs must be administered by the most ex-\nperienced and highly qualified men in the State, without regard to whether a man\nis a Democrat or a Republican.\n2. We must have a State administration that will firmly oppose the 160-acre\nlimitation on State-financed water projects, so that this outmoded concept will\nnot be used as a political instrument for expropriation.\n3. We must have a State administration that will stand up and fight for\nCalifornia's share of world markets and not allow our crops to be sold down the\nriver by State Department negotiators in Washington, D.C.\n4. We must have a State administration that will fight to get California a\nvoice on the U.S. Tariff Commission. Although we are the largest agricultural\nexporting state in the nation, there is no Californian on the Commission. On\nMay 30, I called on my opponent to meet with the State Congressional Delegation to\npropose a candidate for an existing vacancy. Nearly four months have gone by and\nstill no action has been taken.\n5. We must have a State administration that will support the farmer's need\nfor a supplemental labor supply when there is a shortage of qualified local workers.\nPerishable crops cannot be allowed to rot in the fields because of phony labor\ndisputes and bureaucratic harassment.\n*****\nAs California becomes the first state in population, it is imperative that we\nget a new administration that will restore the farmer's confidence in his government\nand fight for a prosperous agricultural economy that will serve the best interests\nof farmers, farm workers and consumers.\n-30-\n9/19/62\nNIXON\nNEWS\nFOR GOVERNOR\nRELEASE\nIII\n-\nState Headquarters: 3908 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles 5, California; DU 5-9161\nNews Bureau: Sandy Quinn - Ron Ziegler\nRemarks by\nFor FLAT AM Release\nRICHARD NIXON\nSaturday, September 22, 1962\nat Medical, Dental & Pharmaceutical Association\nof Southern California and the\nJohn Langston Law Club, Rodger Young Auditorium,\nLos Angeles, California\nSeptember 21, 1962\nA growing, building California cannot afford to lose the ability of hundreds\nof thousands of our citizens who are now not getting the opportunity to work in\njobs worthy of their capacities and their training.\nIt is simply not in the best interests of our state to deny jobs to any\nCalifornian because of race, color, religion or any other factor that has nothing\nto do with how well a man can do a job.\nOur FEP law, at best, is a very inadequate answer to this major problem. As\nGovernor, I will see that this law is effectively administered, But we must also\nrecognize that mere compliance with the letter of a law is not the best way to tap\nthe tremendous resources of manpower and skill that are lying dormant because of\ndiscrimination.\nAs Governor, I am going to appoint a Blue Ribbon Commission composed of top\nleaders in business, labor and education to take the initiative in dealing with\nthis problem on a voluntary basis.\nThis Blue Ribbon Commission will bring together the major employers of our\nstate for the purpose of finding voluntary means to open up equal opportunities\nfor jobs, for promotion and for training our younger people to fill positions that\nmake maximum use of their capacities.\nIn this way, we will supplement the FEP program, which deals with the problem\nafter charges have been made, with a positive program that strikes at the causes of\ndiscrimination.\n-MORE-\n2-2-2\nAs you know, I have had seven years of direct experience in fighting discrim-\nination in the manner that I now propose to use on a state-wide basis in California.\nFrom 1953 through 1960, I had the honor of being Chairman of the President's\nCommittee on Government Contracts, which had the single objective of achieving\nequal job opportunity through voluntary employer compliance.\nI am proud of the record we made--1,042 complaints received and 851 cases\nclosed. And everyone who follows baseball, as I do, knows that .810 is a pretty\nremarkable batting average!\nI am convinced that the approach to the problem that I have outlined will be\na great step forward in seeing that every Californian gets an equal chance at the\nstarting line. The Governor of our State must lend the prestige of his office to\nhis cause.\nIt is a question of simple justice. But it is also a question of doing what\nis in the best interests of our State.

This is the record of my opponent's ignorance on what the issue is all about.\nOn March 21, 1961, when asked his views about the scheduled campus appearance\nof Frank Wilkinson who had refused to answer Congressional Investigators' questions\non the gromndsof self-incrimination and who had been identified under oath as a member of\nthe Communist Party my opponent replied, \"Well, my view of Mr. Wilkinson and any-\nbody of that nature is that he should be permitted to speak.\"\nHowever, on September 19, 1962, after I had made my position clear, he made\nthis statement: \"I don't believe we should permit any subversives to speak on our\ncampuses. I don't see any reason why we should give them a platform from which to\nspread their poison.\"\nFor the sake of California, I am glad that my opponent has completely reversed\nhis position. But, unfortunately, he completely misses the point. The question is not\nof disallowing \"subversives\" to speak. Rather, it is a question of determining who is a\n\"subversive.\" His undefined statement on \"subversives\" is a clear mandate for actions\nbased on unfounded charges. On the other hand, my position clearly defines \"subversives\"\nand what to do about them.\n2. This is the record of my opponent's ignorance on how to handle this situation.\nMy program states two criteria for banning subversives from appearing on State\ncampuses: (a) I would deny the use of tax-supported schools for speeches by any indi-\nvidual who pleads self-incrimination (the Fifth Amendment) before a legally constituted\nlegislative committee or grand jury investigating subversive activities, and\n- More -\n- 2 -\n(b) I would deny the use of tax-supported schools for speeches by any individual who\ndefies the provisions of the Subversive Activities Control Act of 1951.\nI again call on my opponent to answer these two questions:\nDoes he agree or disagree with my program to deny a state platform to indi-\nviduals who have taken the Fifth Amendment about subversive activities?\nDoes he agree or disagree with my program to deny a state platform to indi-\nviduals who have flaunted the basic Federal anti-subversive law?\nThis is what the people of California want to hear -- not some vague,\nmeaningless statement.\n3. This is the record of my opponent's incredible ignorance on what has\nbeen going on.\nOn September 19, 1962, he stated, \"There hasn't been a Communist speaker on a\nuniversity campus in the four years I have been Governor.\"\nNow let us look at the facts.\nDuring his four years in office, there have been eight speakers on State-run\ncampuses who have refused to answer questions about subversive activities before\nlegally constituted legislative investigating committees.\n-- On February 22, 1961, Anne Braden addressed a noon meeting at Dwinelle\nHall on the University of California campus in Berkeley.\n-- On May 16, 1960, Archie Brown spoke in Griffith Hall on the Berkeley campus.\n--\n-- On March 17, 1960, Harry Bridges spoke at a noon rally in Wheeler Hall,\nUniversity of California, Berkeley.\n-- Frank Pestana spoke at a noon rally in Wheeler Hall Auditorium, Berkeley\nCampus, on May 1, 1961.\n- Frank Wilkinson has spoken at least twice on the University of California\nCampus once on March 22, 1961, in the Wheeler Hall Auditorium and once on\nFebruary 16, 1962, in a room of Wheeler Hall.\n- John Howard Lawson spoke on October 10, 1960, at Dwinelle Hall, Berkeley\nCampus, and again on November 23, 1960, on the Los Angeles Campus of the\nUniversity of California.\nMore\n- 3 -\n--\n- Maud Russell spoke on the University of California Campus at Canta\nBarbara, according to Chancellor Kerr's list of 1960-61 Campus Speakers. She also\nspoke on the Berkeley Campus, on November 28, 1960.\n--- And, most remarkable of all, Clinton E. Jencks appears on the 1960-61 and\n-\n1961-62 payroll of the University of California as a teaching assistant in the Department\nof Economics.\nI am turning over to the press the public records on these eight individuals ---\nshowing the chapter and verse on their subversive activities as reported by legislative\ninvestigating committees.\nUnder my programs, these eight individuals would have been barred from speaking\non the campuses of our State colleges and universities. And I believe this is the action\nthat the people of California want from their Governor.\n- 30 -\nNIXON\nNEWS\nFOR GOVERNOR\nRELEASE\nIII\nState Headquarters: 3908 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles 5, California; DU 5-9161\nPress Secretary: Herbert G. Klein\nPROGRAMS FOR PROGRESS\nFlat Monday A. M. Release\nText of Statewide Radio Address\nby RICHARD NIXON\nSeptember 23, 1962\nThis is the first broadcast in a series that I call, \"Programs for a\nGreater California.\" Each Sunday evening until election day, I will tell you\nhow I propose to give decisive leadership in dealing with the pressing problems\nof our state.\nTonight I am going to talk about \"Crime in California\" -- what the\nsituation is today and what actions must be taken to safeguard the lives and\nproperty of all Californians,\nWe are all proud that California will soon be the first state in the\nnation in population. And, as the first state, we can also set an example for\nall the other states to follow.\nBut today, under the present State administration, the record shows that\ninstead of being the first State in crime prevention, we are first in crimes\ncommitted.\nIn fact, by the time this broadcast is over, there will have been nine\nmajor crimes committed in our State -- burglaries, robberies, auto thefts,\nmurders, rapes and assaults.\nWe have the best local law enforcement officers in the nation, yet there\nwere more major crimes committed in California last year, according to the F.B.I.\nthan in New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey combined -- three states with a\ntotal population twice that of California.\nWe have the best local law enforcement officers in the nation, and yet\nfrom 1959 to 1961, according to the California Attorney General, felony crimes\nincreased 26,7%, adult felony arrests were up 24% and juvenile arrests rose\n17.8% -- and these great increases in crime took place during a period when our\npopulation rose only 5.6%. In other words, we cannot blame more people as the\n-MORE-\n-2-\nreason for Lore crime,\nWhy then has crime skyrocketed in California?\nThe answer is that our dedicated local crime fighters have not had strong\nsupport from the present State administration. The Governor's office is the\nweakest link in our law enforcement chain. And Remember: A police badge is only\nas good as the Governor who backs it up.\nWhat has been the record over the past four years?\n1. There has been the endless agonizing in the Chessman case. This is a\ngraphic example of executive indecision. But what is important is the effect\nof this indecision. The threat of the death penalty is a major deterrent to\ncrime. And the handling of the Chessman case undercut this deterrent.\n2. There has been a steady stream of authoritative reports showing that\norganized crime now has a firm foothold in California -- reports by the Federal\nBureau of Investigation, by the United States Commissioner of Narcotics, by the\nJoint Judiciary Committee on the Administration of Justice, by the rackets sub-\ncommittee in the State Assembly, and by U. S. Congressional investigating\ncommittees.\nThis is what a State Assembly Committee concluded in 1959: \"Organized\ncrime\ndoes definitely exist in California and to an alarmingly dangerous degree.\nThe hoodlum and gangster population of California, both permanent and transient,\nis sizeable and there is every indication that an advance guard of eastern\nhoodlums and Mafia members -- men who know how to organize the narcotics traffic,\nand bookmaking, prostitution and rackets -- is here seeking a foothold.\"\nWhen my opponent was confronted with this intelligence, did he immediately\ntake forceful action? No. Instead he ignored these findings and called the\nstudy a \"waste of the people's money.\"\n3. There has been a population explosion in our prisons. They are now\novercrowded and have become the breeding ground for forty cases of riots, murders\nand escapes in close-security facilities in the last three years alone,\n4. There has been an executive record of stalling on vital narcotics leg-\nislation and building roadblocks against the efforts of law officers to get\nstronger crime fighting legislation.\nIn 1959, 15 anti-crime measures were introduced in the legislature with th\nsupport of the California District Attorneys Association, the California Peace\nOfficers Association and the State Sheriffs Association. This program would have\nbrought stronger criminal penalties and more effective narcotics control.\n-MORE-\n-3-\nBut without support from the top -- from the Governor's office -- the\nanti-crime program was killed.\nThis then is the law enforcement climate in California today. This is how\nour state, county and local officials have been handcuffed by the present State\nadministration. And this is why California's crime rate is nearly double the\nnational crime rate.\nCrime in California must be recognized and rooted out. We cannot afford\na state administration that hears no evil and sees no evil.\naction\nI believe that this eight-point/program will make our state into a model\nfor effectively preventing and fighting crime.\n1. Capital punishment -- the law of California -- must be firmly supported\nfrom the Governor's office. We must not encourage crime because of public\nvacillation over the death penalty. My opponent and I are diametrically opposed\non this issue.\n2. We must smash the narcotics traffic -- and my program includes giving\nthe death penalty to big-time dope peddlers.\nWe must have stronger penalties for the possession and sale of dangerous\ndrugs. We must speed up research on the causes and cures of narcotics addiction\nand we must improve public school educational programs on the menace of narcotics\nand dangerous drugs.\n3. We must support our conscientious local law enforcement officials with\na realistic legislative program.\nSuch a program must overcome the adverse effects of the Carol Lane\ndecision. This decision ruled that softer state law superseded stronger local\nlaws. We must take immediate action to clarify jurisdictions and put strong local\nlaws back into effect.\nWe must adopt legislation, within our constitutional framework, to protect\nthe identity of informers, who are essential in narcotics cases.\nWe must reasonably define our search and seizure laws.\nAnd we must get tougher enforcement of our parole laws to prevent the\nunsafe release of dangerous criminals.\nCalifornia needs a Governor who will work with our dedicated local crime\nfighters, rather than against them.\n4. We must set up a top-level Govemnor's Council on Crime Prevention and\nLaw Enforcement to coordinate the fight for a safer California.\nThis Council will have representatives from all the major state and local\nlaw enforcement agencies, and representatives from the private voluntary groups\n-MORE-\n-4-\nthat work in the field of crime prevention.\nThe Governor's Council will work closely with the F.B.I., the Federal\nBureau of Narcotics and the other national agencies in the law enforcement field.\nThe Council will have a major responsibility for seeing that the state\ngives the necessary backing to local law officials and for making the legislative\nrecommendations to give them the proper tools to do their job.\n5. We must initiate educational programs to create a greater respect for\nour law enforcement officials.\nThis is especially important among the young people, and must be done in\ncooperation with our schools.\nMoreover, the Governor must take the lead in defending law enforcement\nofficers when they come under unjust attack,\n6. We must have a Governor who will personally lead the fight to drive\nthe racketeers and hoods from California,\nWe must make California \"off limits\" to the eastern gangsters who are\ncoming here because they think our state is a happy hunting ground.\n7. We must have fast action to provide adequate prison facilities so\nas to end our state's shocking record of prison riots, murders and escapes.\n8. State government must give meaningful encouragement to our voluntary\nagencies, church groups and boys clubs in their programs of crime prevention.\nThis will be a primary function of the Governor's Council.\nWe must help curb juvenile delinquency by improving the employment\nopportunities for our young people.\nLaw enforcement is government's business, but crime prevention is\neverybody's business.\nTogether we can greatly strengthen our voluntary programs of education\nand recreation to give our youth the chance they deserve to lead full and\nproductive lives.\nThese are eight actions that will assure a greater, saner California.\nThese are actions that will restore Californians' confidence in our state\ngovernment. And these are crime prevention and crime control programs that\nwill make California a model to the nation.\n-30-\nRichard Nixon's \"Decisions for Progress\" radio program was broadcast\non the following stations, September 23, 1962.\nCity\nStation\nTime\nLos Angeles\nKNX\n5:30 to 5:45 PM\nSan Francisco\nKCBS\n7:15 to 7:30 PM\nSan Diego\nKFMB\n6:30 to 6:45 PM\nSacramento\nKFBK\n10:15 to 10:30 PM\nRedding\nKVCV\n8:15 to 8:30 PM\nPalm Springs\nKCMJ\n5:45 to 6:00 PM\nModesto\nKBEE\n7:35 to 7:50 PM\nFresno\nKFRE\n6:00 to 6:15 PM\nEureka\nKINS\n7:45 to 8:00 PM\nChico\nKHSL\n5:45 to 6:00 PM\nBakersfield\nKERN\n5:45 to 6:00 PM"
