PROGRAMS FOR PROGRESS
Flat Monday A. M. Release
Text of Statewide Radio Address
by RICHARD NIXON
September 23, 1962
This is the first broadcast in a series that I call, "Programs for a
Greater California." Each Sunday evening until election day, I will tell you
how I propose to give decisive leadership in dealing with the pressing problems
of our state.
Tonight I am going to talk about "Crime in California" -- what the
situation is today and what actions must be taken to safeguard the lives and
property of all Californians.
We are all proud that California will soon be the first state in the
nation in population. And, as the first state, we can also set an example for
all the other states to follow.
But today, under the present State administration, the record shows that
instead of being the first State in crime prevention, we are first in crimes
committed.
In fact, by the time this broadcast is over, there will have been nine
major crimes committed in our State burglaries, robberies, auto thefts,
murders, rapes and assaults.
We have the best local law enforcement officers in the nation, yet there
were more major crimes committed in California last year, according to the F.B.I.
than in New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey combined -- three states with a
total population twice that of California.
We have the best local law enforcement officers in the nation, and yet
from 1959 to 1961, according to the California Attorney General, felony crimes
increased 26.7%, adult felony arrests were up 24% and juvenile arrests rose
17.8% -- and these great increases in crime took place during a period when our
population rose only 5.6%. In other words, we cannot blame more people as the
-MORE-
-2-
reason for more crime.
Why then has crime skyrocketed in California?
The answer is that our dedicated local crime fighters have not had strong
support from the present State administration. The Governor's office is the
weakest link in our law enforcement chain. And Remember: A police badge is only
as good as the Governor who backs it up.
What has been the record over the past four years?
1. There has been the endless agonizing in the Chessman case. This is a
graphic example of executive indecision. But what is important is the effect
of this indecision. The threat of the death penalty is a major deterrent to
crime. And the handling of the Chessman case undercut this deterrent.
2. There has been a steady stream of authoritative reports showing that
organized crime now has a firm foothold in California -- reports by the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, by the United States Commissioner of Narcotics, by the
Joint Judiciary Committee on the Administration of Justice, by the rackets sub-
committee in the State Assembly, and by U. S. Congressional investigating
committees.
This is what a State Assembly Committee concluded in 1959: "Organized
crime does definitely exist in California and to an alarmingly dangerous degree.
The hoodlum and gangster population of California, both permanent and transient,
is sizeable and there is every indication that an advance guard of eastern
hoodlums and Mafia members -- men who know how to organize the narcotics traffic,
and bookmaking, prostitution and rackets -- is here seeking a foothold."
When my opponent was confronted with this intelligence, did he immediately
take forceful action? No. Instead he ignored these findings and called the
study a "waste of the people's money."
3. There has been a population explosion in our prisons. They are now
overcrowded and have become the breeding ground for forty cases of riots, murders
and escapes in close-security facilities in the last three years alone.
4. There has been an executive record-of stalling on vital narcotics leg-
islation and building roadblocks against the efforts of law officers to get
stronger crime fighting legislation.
In 1959, 15 anti-crime measures were introduced in the legislature with the
support of the California District Attorneys Association, the California Peace
Officers Association and the State Sheriffs Association. This program would have
brought stronger criminal penalties and more effective_narcotics control.
-MORE-
-3-
But without support from the top -- from the Governor's office -- the
anti-crime program was killed.
This then is the law enforcement climate in California today. This is how
our state, county and local officials have been handcuffed by the present State
administration. And this is why California's crime rate is nearly double the
national crime rate.
Crime in California must be recognized and rooted out. We cannot afford
a state administration that hears no evil and sees no evil.
action
I believe that this eight-point/program will make our state into a model
for effectively preventing and fighting crime.
1. Capital punishment -- the law of California -- must be firmly supported
from the Governor's office. We must not encourage crime because of public
vacillation over the death penalty. My opponent and I are diametrically opposed
on this issue.
2. We must smash the narcotics traffic -- and my program includes giving
the death penalty to big-time dope peddlers.
We must have stronger penalties for the possession and sale of dangerous
drugs. We must speed up research on the causes and cures of narcotics addiction
and we must improve public school educational programs on the menace of narcotics
and dangerous drugs.
3. We must support our conscientious local law enforcement officials with
a realistic legislative program.
Such a program must overcome the adverse effects of the Carol Lane
decision. This decision ruled that softer state law superseded stronger local
laws. We must take immediate action to clarify jurisdictions and put strong local
laws back into effect.
We must adopt legislation, within our constitutional framework, to protect
the identity of informers, who are essential in narcotics cases.
We must reasonably define our search and seizure laws.
And we must get tougher enforcement of our parole laws to prevent the
unsafe release of dangerous criminals.
California needs a Governor who will work with our dedicated local crime
fighters, rather than against them.
4. We must set up a top-level Govemnor's Council on Crime Prevention and
Law Enforcement to coordinate the fight for a safer California.
This Council will have representatives from all the major state and local
law enforcement agencies, and representatives from the private voluntary groups
-MORE-
-4-
that work in the field of crime prevention.
The Governor's Council will work closely with the F.B.I., the Federal
Bureau of Narcotics and the other national agencies in the law enforcement field.
The Council will have a major responsibility for seeing that the state
gives the necessary backing to local law officials and for making the legislative
recommendations to give them the proper tools to do their job.
5. We must initiate educational programs to create a greater respect for
our law enforcement officials.
This is especially important among the young people, and must be done in
cooperation with our schools.
Moreover, the Governor must take the lead in defending law enforcement
officers when they come under unjust attack.
6. We must have a Governor who will personally lead the fight to drive
the racketeers and hoods from California,
We must make California "off limits" to the eastern gangsters who are
coming here because they think our state is a happy hunting ground.
7. We must have fast action to provide adequate prison facilities so
as to end our state's shocking record of prison riots, murders and escapes.
8. State government must give meaningful encouragement to our voluntary
agencies, church groups and boys clubs in their programs of crime prevention.
This will be a primary function of the Governor's Council.
We must help curb juvenile delinquency by improving the employment
opportunities for our young people.
Law enforcement is government's business, but crime prevention is
everybody's business.
Together we can greatly strengthen our voluntary programs of education
and recreation to give our youth the chance they deserve to lead full and
productive lives.
These are eight actions that will assure a greater, saner California.
These are actions that will restore Californians' confidence in our state
government. And these are crime prevention and crime control programs that
will make California a model to the nation.

RICHARD NIXON
September 20, 1962
University Synagogue
8:00 p.m. - Wednesday, September 19, 1962
Brentwood, California
If we could dissect the body politic, we would find compartments
labeled "government action" and "private action.' The age-old problem
of the philosophers, the politicians and the people has always been
what should be the proper size of each compartment.
Communist doctrine, of course, allows no room for private action.
Complete state control is its solution to the problem.
On the other extreme, the most laissez-faire theorists contend
that almost all action should be private.
But it is important to note that even Adam Smith did not believe
that government had no role in society. Clearly, only government can
deal with such matters as international relations and national security.
However, in our domestic affairs--running industry, welfare, urban
problems--there is a great gray zone. Here men of good will arrive at
different answers to the questions of "How much government action; how
much private action?"
It is in this area that the great political debate of our time
centers. And we must remember that both sides of the debate seek the
same goal a better America. It is not motives, but methods, that are
being argued.
While we deal with problems on an issue-to-issue basis, it is also
necessary to have an overall view of our society. The solutions to
medical care or rapid transit will only be correct for America if the
basic premise that guides them is correct.

Each public man has a duty to not only state his views on specific
issues, but also his overall view--his basic premise.
My overall view on the way to a greater America is to seek private
solutions first. For I believe it is the people, not the government,
that has created both the material and spiritual greatness of our
country. Only if the people, in their individual and voluntary group
capacities, cannot do the job should we then turn to government.
Too often today we put the cart before the horse. And, after all,
it is the horse, not the cart, that is the moving force. So, too, is
it the people who are America's moving force.
We sometimes lose sight of the fact that the remarkable philan-
thropy in our country is not duplicated in any other country in the
world. This is a source of our greatness. The remarkable standard
of living of the American worker is not duplicated in any other country
in the world. This was created under private, free enterprise. And,
this is a source of our greatness.
It would be a tragedy if now, in our struggle with Communism, we
adopted the only game they know how to play turning to government rathe
than to the people. And I firmly believe that when the choice is
clearly stated, the American people will not turn their backs on the
sources of our nation's greatness.

On the issue of whether subversives should be allowed to speak on the campuses
of our tax-supported institutions, my opponent has again displayed an incredible
ignorance of what has been going on, what this issue is all about and what should be done
about it.
1. This is the record of my opponent's ignorance on what the issue is all about.
On March 21, 1961, when asked his views about the scheduled campus appearance
of Frank Wilkinson - who had refused to answer Congressional Investigators' questions
-
on the groundsof self-incrimination and who had been identified under oath as a member of
the Communist Party -- my opponent replied, "Well, my view of Mr. Wilki nson and any-
body of that nature is that he should be permitted to speak,"
However, on September 19, 1962, after I had made my position clear, he made
this statement: "I don't believe we should permit any subversives to speak on our
campuses. I don't see any reason why we should give them a platform from which to
:
spread their poison."
For the sake of California, I am glad that my opponent has completely reversed
his position, But, unfortunately, he completely misses the point. The question is not
of disallowing "subversives" to speak. Rather, it is a question of determining who is a
"subversive." His undefined statement on "subversives" is a clear mandate for actions
based on unfounded charges. On the other hand, my position clearly defines "subversives"
and what to do about them.
2. This is the record of my opponent's ignorance on how to handle this situation.
My program states two criteria for banning subversives from appearing on State
campuses: (a) I would deny the use of tax-supported schools for speeches by any indi-
vidual who pleads self-incrimination (the Fifth Amendment) before a legally constituted
legislative committee or grand jury investigating subversive activities, and
- More -
- 2 -
(b) I would deny the use of tax-supported schools for speeches by any individual who
defies the provisions of the Subversive Activities Control Act of 1951.
I again call on my opponent to answer these two questions:
Does he agree or disagree with my program to deny a state platform to indi-
viduals who have taken the Fifth Amendment about subversive activities?
Does he agree or disagree with my program to deny a state platform to indi-
-
viduals who have flaunted the basic Federal anti-subversive law?
This is what the people of California want to hear -- not some vague,
meaningless statement.
3. This is the record of my opponent's incredible ignorance on what has
been going on.
On September 19, 1962, he stated, "There hasn't been a Communist speaker on a
university campus in the four years I have been Governor."
Now let us look at the facts.
During his four years in office, there have been eight spoakers on State-run
campuses who have refused to answer questions about subversive activities before
legally constituted legislative investigating committees.
-- On February 22, 1961. Anne Braden addressed a noon meeting at Dwinelle
Hall on the University of California campus in Berkeley.
- On May 16, 1960, Archie Brown snoke in Griffich Hall on the Berkeley campus.
-- On March 17, 1960, Harry Bridges spoke at a noon rally in Maeler Hall,
University of California, Berkeley.
-- Frank Pestana spoke at a noon rally in Wheeler Hall Auditorium, Berkeley
Campus, on May 1, 1961,
- Frank Wilkinson has spoken at least twice on the University of California
Campus -- once on March 22, 1961, in the Wheeler Hall Auditorium and once on
February 16, 1962, in a room of Wheeler Hall.
-- John Howard Lawson spoke on October 10, 1960, at Dwinelle Hall, Berkeley
Campus, and again on November 23, 1960, on the Los Angeles Campus of the
University of California.

- 3 -
- Maud Russell spoke on the University of California Campus at Canta
Barbara, according to Chancellor Kerr's list of 1960-61 Campus Speakers. She also
spoke on the Berkeley Campus, on November 28, 1960.
--- And, most remarkable of all, Clinton E. Jencks appears on the 1960-61 and
-
1961-62 payroll of the University of California as a teaching assistant in the Department
of Economics.
I am turning over to the press the public records on these eight individuals --
showing the chapter and verse on their subversive activities as reported by legislative
investigating committees.
Under my programs, these eight individuals would have been barred from speaking
on the campuses of our State colleges and universities. And I believe this is the action
that the people of California want from their Governor.

California must have one million new jobs in the next four years to provide
employment for the people coming into our state and for the nearly 400,000
Californians now out of work.
By its record, the Brown Administration has proved it is incapable of doing
this. And a statistical smogscreen, which has been put up to hide its failure,
will not fool the people.
Under the Brown Administration, from August 1959 to August 1962, unemployment
shot up 40.7%.
Brown's own State Economic Development Agency points with pride to new plants
and expansion amounting to $600 million in the second quarter of 1962.
This may sound good, but what does it really mean?
It means the State is now only doing half as well as it must do.
It cost $18,000 to make one industrial job; 250,000 new jobs are needed every
year. By multiplying $18,000 times 250,000, we see that it costs $4.5 billion to
make the necessary new jobs. But at a rate of $600 million a quarter, we are only
spending $2.4 billion to make new jobs - or half what we must be spending.
In Los Angeles County, we averaged 109 new industries a year from 1956 to 1958.
But in the three years under the present State Administration (1959-1961), new
industries went down to a yearly average of 46 -- a drop of more than half.
California cannot tolerate half-loaf actions and half-loaf results by a half-
loaf administration.

We cannot continue to allow New York to build or start more than three times
as many new plants as California.
We cannot continue to allow high taxes to drive away such industries as Marchant
calculators and adding machines, Essick air conditioners, Cannon Electric, Ampex
Corporation and Rheem hot water heaters.
We cannot be satisfied with a State Economic Development Agency that cannot
point to a single new industry that it has brought to California.
The smugness and complacency of the present state government will not reverse
this trend. It will not be reversed by imposing nearly one billion dollars in new
taxes, as did the Brown Administration over its four years in office.
It can be reversed by dynamic leadership, by an administration dedicated to
free enterprise, by cutting the costs of government so that a tax rise will be
avoided and tax reductions can be made.
Jobs will be made by initiating a "California Crusade for New Business
Investment," by creating a climate that is fair to both management and labor, and
by standing up and fighting for California's share of foreign markets.
This is how I propose to provide one million new jobs for Californians.

Statement by RICHARD NIXON
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Following Luncheon with
"Celebrities For Nixon" Committee
Beverly Hills, California
September 26, 1962
California can only be as great as the sum total of all its parts.
When any California industry suffers from unemployment or is not pro-
ducing up to its potential, this must be a serious and personal problem
for all Californians.
Thirteen days ago I was in Eureka in the heart of our great timber
region. Lumber production has fallen more than 15% during the present
State Administration. This is a serious problem for all Californians.
Four days ago I was in San Diego, where there are 12,800 more
people out of work in the aircraft industry than a year ago. This is
a serious problem for all Californians.
Today let us look at the motion picture industry. The most recent
figures I have show that almost 30% of the film cameramen in Local 659
are out of work; 17% of the film editors in Local 776 are jobless; many
other technicians and performers are without employment. And this is a
serious problem for all Californians.
The problem takes on added dimensions because movie production is
more than an industry -- a means of making jobs. It is a symbol. Dur-
ing the formative years of our state, California became famous because
of a seal that flashed on screens throughout the world. It said, "Made
in Hollywood."
Now Hollywood is in trouble. And now California must pay its ob-
ligation to the industry that first made us world famous.
-MORE-
2-2-2
The root of Hollywood's trouble is the production of American
motion pictures in foreign countries -- runaway productions.
In 1960, about 20% of American financed movies were made abroad.
In 1961, this figure rose to 40%. And so far this year, 60% of Ameri-
can financed movies were produced overseas.
The reason for this exodus from Hollywood is not cheap labor or
more skilled help or exotic locales. The reason is that foreign govern-
ments are giving subsidies to our productions. Britain gives a 75%
guarantee on funds to finance a movie there. Yugoslavia, which accepts
U.S. foreign aid, turns around and gives 90%-guaranteed financing for
movies made in Yugoslavia.
To the great credit of our American motion picture industry, it
has never received a government subsidy from Washington, has never
asked for one, and does not want any such help today.
Yet it is imperative that something be done before it is too late.
The present State Administration has had a do-nothing record for four
years.
These are two actions that I propose to take.
1. There will be a major taxreform bill before the next session
of Congress. It is important at that time to plug the tax loopholes
that make run-away productions feasible. As Governor, I will carry our
case to Washington and fight to prevent Hollywood from becoming a tax-
created ghost town.
2. By December 1, 1962, I will announce the appointment of the
Governor's Council on the Motion Picture Industry. This Council will
consist of top film industry leaders in management, labor and the per-
forming arts.
It will draft a plan of voluntary, cooperative action to bring new
life and spirit to Hollywood. And the prestige and support of the
Governor of California will back up this action program.

PRESS CONFERENCE
BILTMORE HOTEL
LOS ANGELES
September 27, 1962
OPENING REMARKS BY HERBERT G. KLEIN, PRESS SECRETARY
(I would like to call your attention to the fact that we have
our first telethon this Friday night in Salinas. This will be
a 3-hour telethon in contrast to the 90-minute one which Mr.
Brown had on Tuesday night. I think you will find there will
be a great number of questions answered--numbering probably
in the hundreds during the three hours.
We have our second telethon on next Tuesday night in Bakers-
field. The reason I put particular stress on these is that I
believe that the telethons are going to be among the major
political events of the campaign. One other thing in matter
of briefing; the unresolved point of the UPI meeting still
remains this matter of notes. We continue to seek some kind
of compromise with Gov. Brown regarding his desire to use
notes during the UPI Conference. It is our strong feeling,
and I think this represents the feeling of the California
voters, that they would like to hand him questio nsdirectly,
not read them out of black books such as he proposes to use.
We may be able to compromise on a limited use of them for
him if he insists that he needs this kind of a prop. But
we feel that actually this is a case where people ought to
answer things out of their own knowledge rather than depend
on the props set up by ghost writers and other people in
the publicity field. Thank you.)
Mr. Nixon: I have just one point that I would like to add
with regard to the schedule that I cleared this morning.
President Eisenhower, as you know, is coming to California
on October 8. His appearance will be in San Francisco. How-
ever, the San Francisco Nixon for Governor Committee that is
sponsoring his visit wants to have a motorcade in the down-
town area of San Francisco for the statewide candidates.
They have invi ted me to come up and participate in that, so
President Eisenhower tentatively now is planning to fly first
to Los Angeles. He will stop at Los Angeles International
Airport some time in the mid-morning of October 8. I will
join him there and we will move from there to San Francisco
for the motorcade in which I will participate, and then I
will fly back to Los Angeles for the evening meeting here.
I will be speaking at the Paladium that night as you probably
have already been notified. President Eisenhower will be
speaking at the Cow Palace. There will also be some other
statewide speakers.
We now have made arrangements to televise the program for a
half-hour on television, so that people will be able to hear
that portion of the program at which General Eisenhower speaks
and that portion of the program at which I will be speaking,
approximately 10 to 15 minutes from each of us.
Q: Will you speak from a prepared text?
A: It is probably unlikely that I will speak from a prepared
text because the meeting is being arranged on a basis of so
many participants that I am not sure I would be able to, and
I will be the last speaker. I will be speaking on a 30-minute
program for no longer than 10 minutes. As far as the televised
portion is concerned, I perhaps will add 10 minutes more. I
would certainly have some release for the press. But not a
-1-
full prepared text because I am not speaking for 30 minutes on
the program. And I think President Eisenhower will also not
have a prepared text.
Q: About what time?
A: The time scheduled will depend on the television time we are
able to clear. My guess is that it will be 9:30 p.m. or 10:00
p.m. It might be as late as 10:30, but we hope earlier than that.
I have one other announcement that I think will be of considera-
ble interest to everybody here. There was initiated a move yes-
terday which I think will result in a face-to-face meeting with
Governor Brown on television. I received a wire yesterday from
David Susskind, whom some of you know has had the Open-End tele-
vision program, a program in which he asks questions of the in-
dividuals who appear and also gives the individuals who appear,
if there are more than one, an opportunity to question each
other. Both Governor Brown and I have appeared previously on
the Susskind show. I immediately accepted by wire the invita-
tion and Susskind has also issued the invitation to Mr. Brown.
He has informed members of my staff that he is confident Gover-
nor Brown will accept. This will be a format in which Susskind
will ask questions of me and of Governor Brown and each of us
has an opportunity to question each other, which is a satisfac-
tory format. As you know, I have always said that I think we
should have a compromise in which each candidate got at least
half of what he was asking for so half the program approximately
will be questions from a member of the press or television, as.
the case might be, and approximately half of the program will
be a face-to-face confrontation. Other invitations of that
type that come will be certainly accepted as far as I am con-
cerned. The dates for these programs should pose no problem
to Mr. Brown. They certainly don't to me, because they are
both Sundays. Two dates have been suggested, October 21 and
October 28. I have accepted both. As a matter of fact I re-
iterate today my proposal that I will cancel anything on my
schedule whenever a face-to-face consultation with the oppor-
tunity for each candidate to question the other is arranged.
Of course, I can't guarantee Governor Brown's acceptance. I
can only say that the moderator in this instance, the producer
of the program, is very confident that Mr. Brown will accept,
in view of the format and in view of the fact he has previously.
I have accepted and I think that there is a good chance this
may work out.
Q: Where will these be televised from?
A: It will be arranged for the convenience of the candidates.
Susskind would come here, produce the show, and then the show
is apparently reproduced by whatever stations want to buy it
on a contractual basis. I shouldn't get into that, but I know
the show is done here. It would not require us to leave the State.
Q: Will this be live?
A: Yes, the program would be done live in California on Sunday
night for two hours, either on the 21st or the 28th. I have
nothing else, if you want to go ahead with other questions.
Yes sir.
Q: Are you optimistic about the Narcotics Conference now taking
place in Washington?
A: Conferences have taken place so often in Washington dealing
with various subjects and have produced very little, and incident-
ally this is not a fault just of the present administration, it
is the fault which is indigenous to government generally. In our
administration we had some conferences disappointing as far as
-2-
results and very effective as far as talk is concerned. I tend
to be cautious with regard to the results that may occur. I
would hope, however, that because of the vital interest in this
subject and because the federal government can be of assistance
that out of this particular area could come some narcotics legis-
lation. I would suggest that the conference might well consider
as a piece of federal legislation that would be helpful, in addi-
tion to treating of addicts which has been recommended by others,
in addition to attempting to get better cooperation from Mexico,
the imposition of the death penalty for big time dope peddlers,
not addicts, who transfer narcotics across state lines or across
international borders. I recall as will everybody in this room,
the tremendous effect of the kidnapping law, the Lindbergh Law,
of imposing the death penalty where such activities did go across
state lines. I believe the imposition of the death penalty on
a national basis would have a great effect because it would have
two effects: (1) it would be a deterent. (2) it would also
give the opportunity for the FBI, The Federal Bureau of Narco-
tics, and all Federal Agencies to get into these cases where
there was any evidence of interstate or transportation across
the national border.
Q: Do you believe Washington can do much to stop this stuff
coming across the border?
A: A conference can't do anything. The Congress has to follow
with legislation to follow up what the conference does unless
there is action after the conference. The conference will simply
provide a very pleasant journey to Washington in the fall of
the year.
Q: What could we do to seal the border between California and
Mexico--and seal the flow of narcotics?
A: What we can do is first step up our diplomatic offensive with
our friends in Mexico, and in the Mexican Government to deal with
the problem. Then if we are unable to get mutual arrangements
approved, and may I make it clear we should try to get mutual
arrangements because Mexico has been a great and good friend of
the United States; the Mexican Government has been a great friend
of the United States; then the United States has to take other
means for the purpose of stopping that flow, and I think those
means have to be whatever is necessary to control the flow.
Q: (Question on what the U.S. can do concerning the Mexican
argument that the U.S. manufactures the drugs which Mexico sells
back to our addicts.)
A: First, every effort has to be made to educate the government
officials, both U.S. and Mexican as to the real problem. You
can't have an addict unless you've got the product and the pro-
duct is for the most part produced in Mexico and not in the United
States. The basic material which goes into the manufactured
product, for the most part, does come across the federal lines.
Q: Could you enlighten us on the poll which your office recently
announced?
A: The poll that was announced by our people was one that was
taken by a national poling organization for the purpose of look-
ing into issues in depth in the State of California. It was a
poll that was made available to us. It was not one that we pur-
chased. I want to make it clear that as far as our organization
is concerned I have adopted the policy in this campaign of not
buying any polls. I think that polling is like taking your tem-
perature. When you are not sick you take your temperature to
see whether or not you are. My view is after the 1948 election
the best thing to do about polls is to assume always that you
-3-
are behind and to run that much faster. And I can only hope
that as far as our opponents are concerned that they believe
polls which show them ahead. As far as I am concerned, I run
a campaign just as hard whatever the polls show between now and
November 6 as I possibly can. I would suggest too that as far
as two of the polls are conerned, which I understand are giving
such comfort to our opponents, that both have very, very grave
deficiencies with regard to their accuracy. I am referring
now not to the integrity of the man taking them. One is the
Harris poll. He has received $65,000 this year from COPE--
taking polls for them. And also in the 1960 election he was
one, who as a result of his polls, predicted that my opponent,
Senator Kennedy, would carry Ohio by 300,000 votes, would carry
California and several other states. He proved to be wrong.
He was only right on the eventual result, but then somewhat
wrong. As far as the Harris poll is concerned, its last poll
taken immediately before the election in 1960, if projected,
would have resulted in Mr. Kennedy carrying California by
225,000 votes. I carried it by 35,000, So you can see, I have
some reason to be somewhat skeptical of polls. Not of the men
that take them. I think polls can serve a purpose in determining
what issued are and what trends are. But I would make one last
suggestion, and this is made with all good nature to newspapers
and television people: In 1948, when all of the polls showed
Dewey winning by a landslide, immediately afterwards newspaper-
men who had overed that election indicated that they thought
that they had made the mistake in believing the polls because
they had downgraded the effect of Truman's crowds and the en-
thusiasm of his crowds. Now, I don't want to make a self serv-
ing statement, but I suggest that you come along and see the
size of my crowds, see the reaction of my crowds, see the spirit
of my crowds. Then compare them with Brown's, so that you
might make a better judgment as to how this campaign is going,
than simply taking an impersonal poll of about 800 to 1000
people in California.
Q: Are you suggesting the polls are dishonest or merely fals e?
A: No, I don't question the integrity of the pollster. Cer-
tainly Gallop, Roper, Harris, the others would be out of busi-
ness in a moment if they were dishonest. I am suggesting that
polls have a tendency to have great factors of inaccuracy and
that the record of accuracy of the Field poll has in California
been at least doubtful, to put it mildly.
Q: Where do you feel you stand now?
A: I consider the race at this point to be even with about 15
to 20 per cent undecided. This race is up for grabs. Whoever
campaigns the hardest, the most effectively, and gets his mes-
sage across best is going to win in November. I would say the
major point I am emphasizing is this point of spirit and enthu-
siasm because apathy in California in a state election has al-
ways been a tradition. This is true to a great extent now, and
what has encouraged me is that among the meetings I am attending
our people are getting out of the apathy. If I am able to con-
tinue to stir up interest and my opponent is unable to, we will
win.
Q: There are about 7½ million registered voters in California.
Would you say they are apathetic?
A: The registered voters figure is no indication how many will
vote. Sometimes we vote only 55 or 60% as you know in an off
year election. In this election if we get them stirred up they
could vote 75%. That would be very high.
-4-
Q: Federal Law already provides for the death penalty for dope
peddlers under certain circumstances, how would you change that?
A: Strengthen it to provide the death penalty for peddling
wherever we think this will get at the big time dope peddler
effectively.
Q: Would it be difficult to convict under such a law.
A: It is very difficult to convict. What happens is in these
cases as I have studied them is that every time the big time
dope peddler comes in he claims he is really an addict, and
that's why he is a peddler. Actually in many instances that
is a defense
rather than an excuse
rather than a real
defense. When I speak of big time dope peddling I mean the
merchants in misery, who do it for financial gain and not under
the influence of dope themselves. For them I have no sympathy.
Q: Do you have any comment on the President's constitutional
crises in Mississippi?
A: The moment of truth has come. Just as President Eisenhower
was faced with a very difficult situation in Little Rock, Presi-
dent Kennedy is now faced with a difficult situation in Missis-
sippi. He and the Attorney General, Robert Kennedy, have to do
whatever is necessary to see that the law of the land is carried
out in Mississippi. I will not say what they should do because
that is the perogotive of the President. When I say whatever
is necessary, that means using whatever powers the Federal
Government has at its command to see to it that the University
of Mississippi complies with the law of the land, as set forth
in the Constitution and interpreted by the Supreme Court.
Q: Would that include arresting the Governor of Mississippi?
A: If that is necessary, in order to carry out the law, it
certainly would. If it is necessary to use troops, it certainly
would. My attitude with regard to Mississippi is the same that
I expressed last week in my press conference with regard to
Cuba. President Kennedy should now initiate action to do what-
ever is necessary to stop the flow of arms into Cuba and to
stop any kind of activities from out of Cuba spreading Communism
through the rest of Latin America.
Q: (Unaudible question on communism as a political issue.)
A: Domestic communism is not an issue between Democrats and
Republicans. It is an issue only when one candidate for governor
in a state like California disagrees with another candidate as
to what ought to be done about handling it. I have thought that
as a result of the investigations of the Committee on Unamerican
Activities through the years, the Hiss case, which of course,
was the very sharp example of domestic communism, I felt that
under these circumstances there would be no argument at all be-
tween the two candidatessfor Governor with regard to strong legis-
lation and executive action consistent with constitutional re-
quirements to deal with communism in this state. Throughout the
Spring, I have been advocating two specific proposals which Mr.
Brown now so very sharply disagrees with. I have said over and
over again that individuals who refuse on the ground of self-
incrimination to answer questions about communism activities
should not have the right to speak or teach at any tax supported
institution. Any individuals who defy the law of the land by
refusing to register when ordered to do so with the Attorney
General of the United States, under the Subversive Activities
Control Act, should not have the right. Now, these are two
specific tests. This is not something that gives in effect a
hunting license to any individuals who are going out to name
this person or that person as communist. It simply says that
-5-
when a person does something, refuses to cooperate with a
legally constituted grand jury, or with an investigating com-
mittee that he should not be given the respectability of the
university or college campus of the University of California.
Governor Brown has a right to disagree with that and on the
other hand, I also have a responsibility to continue to advo-
cate it. I think he is wrong. And he thinks I am wrong.
The voters are going to have to determine it.
Q: Do you have any comment on Brown's charge that you ignored
the problem of narcotics as Vice President?
A: I would like for Governor Brown to produce his evidence in
this respect. He has made so many loose charges am sure that
the gentlemen of the press the next time they get him in a press
conference should just ask him that question. How did he (Nixon)
ignore it? What was Mr. Nixon asked to do? And I would be very
glad to answer it. It is very hard to answer, as you can see,
a question in which a man says, well he did this or that when
he doesn't produce any evidence.
As Vice President of the United States I had no responsibility
specifically in this field. This was in the Attorney General's
province, as you know. But, I can say this; I think with all
the criticisms that may be levied at me, nobody could question
the fact that I have stood for strong law enforcement, not only
in the field of narcotics, but in the field of subversive acti-
vities throughout my political career. And I would be very,
very interested to see any indication
when proposals were
made in this field to deal with the narcotics flow that I didn't
support them.
Q: Would you favor closing the border between California and
Mexico?
A: Only as a last resort. I think closing the border would
have some repercussions internationally, that could be most
unfortunate. But I do think that we have to bring very forci-
bly to the attention of the government of Mexico the strong
sentiment that we have in this state and in this country with
regard to it. Because if this flow is not stopped if the
narcotics traffic continues to grow
public opinion in the
United States is going to insist on very drastic action. And
that's why I believe we have to step up our diplomatic offen-
sive in this field.
Q: Do you think the Democrats are using the White House Con-
ference as a political sounding board?
A: No, I wouldn't charge that. I would say that obviously they
are all back in Washington at the present time, but from the way
I read the papers I think that they went back there primarily
to get Mr. Kennedy out here two more times before the election
and, incidentally, I see no reason for them to have a cover for
the trip to ask President Kennedy to come out because I thought
he was coming already. In any event the narcotics conference
if it accomplishes something, I am all for it.
Q: Would you consider as less drastic than closing the border
to halt the flow of American manufactured dangerous drugs
into Mexico for resale to this country?
A: When the American manufactured drugs are of that type and
when it is the conclusion that such drugs are being sent into
Mexico and will be used primarily for the narcotics traffic, of
course, the flow of such drugs could be stopped.
Q: Do you have any connection with Facts Consolidated now or
have you during this campaign?
56-
A: Facts Consolidated, which we think is one of the better poll-
ing organizations, took polls for us throughout 1960 and took a
poll in depth on issues immediately after the primary election,
and also immediately before. We are not taking any polls in
the final election from now until election day because I want
to put the money where I think it will help. Taking a poll
doesn't produce any votes and I intend to put the money
we
have a limited amount obviously
and we are going to put it in
television and direct mail
rather than simply taking a poll
to see how you are doing.
Q: Then Newsweek Magazine was in error when they said one more
poll was going to be taken by Fact Consolidated prior to November?
A: No more polls by Facts Consolidated are going to be taken
for me between now and November 6, or any other polling organi-
zation. I do not mean that we may not have access to polls taken
on propositions or by other candidates. Apparently Governor
Brown had access to the Field Poll
we learned about it Tues-
day morning, 48 hours before the newspapers learned about it,
from Governor Brown's representative who was travelling with
our campaign group.
Incidentally I would think Mr. Field would be greatly concerned
about this because his subscribers would be concerned about it.
After all, a pollster must above everything else remember who
he is working for.
Q: Suppose a poll showed you were leading by a very wide margin,
wouldn't that help your prospects even further?
A: No, what it would do is it would get our workers, as Mr.
Dewey's were, and I was one of his supporters in 1948, in that
terrible condition where they say we don't need to do anything
more. I want my people to work harder, I want them to continue
to contribute to the campaign as much as they can. I know the
old bandwagon psychology. California is too great a state, the
voting population too volatile, and after what happened in 1960
with a cliff hanger election, I think that the supporters of
both candidates are going to be working right up to the last
moment, mine certainly are.
Q: Is there anything basicly different between Little Rock and
the situation in Mississippi?
A: No basic difference, as far as Little Rock is concerned,
of course the school is not higher education, Mississippi is
to an extent. I suppose we could say, an extension of the law
in this respect. But the opinion has been handed down
the
Supreme Court has interpreted the constitution a Governor of
a sovereign state has said we don't like the opinion and now
what has to happen is that the Federal Government must enforce
the law of the land. Incidentally, this has happened, if I can
suggest it, this is not the first constitutional crises in which
governors have disagreed with the U.S. Government, and not only
in voting and in civil rights cases, it has happened over and
over again. Federal Government has never lost one of these
battles and they can't lose this one.
Q: Would you support the use of troops if necessary?
A: Anything that is necessary. That was my feeling in the Little
Rock case in 1954 and it is my feeling now.
Q: Is a member of Governor Brown's campaign staff traveling
with you?
A: Yes, Mr. Tuck travels with us, and he informed Mr. Klein of
my office of this poll 48 hours before Mr. Klein's former news-
paper, which is a subscriber, got news of it.
-7-
Q: How are the contributions coming in?
A: We are getting enough to travel, we are keeping our campaign
on a lean basis, but I think we will run better lean than fat.
Q: Do you have a man traveling with the Governor?
A: No.
Q: (Question not entirely audible Isn't it the primary respon-
sibility of the Mexican Government to eliminate the raw form in
their own country?)
A: You couldn't be more right. That's why I say that the manu-
facturer of the drugs is one thing. And much of that occurs in
the U.S. but you can't manufacture the drug unless you've got
the basic material and the basic material is grown and produced
in Mexico, and so if you can stop the transportation across the
international border of the basic material, the manufacturing
plants would go out of business very quickly. That's why we
have to have, we can talk all we want to about the treatment of
addicts, we can talk all we want, as a matter of fact, about
additional penalties which I favor, but basically we have to get
down to the source of the trouble, and that is where this stuff
is grown and that means we have to work out arrangements with
Mexico to stop that flow across the border.
Thank you, gentlemen.

California's proud tradition of appointing the best men to office regardless
of party has steadily deteriorated under the present State Administration.
During the past four years, the quality of men in top State positions has been
the lowest in a quarter of a century. The appointments of "Dutch" Woxberg, a
Jimmy Hoffa hatchet man, and James Ralph are indicative of the low calibre of the
men around Brown. Woxberg, who was Vice Chairman of the Small Craft Harbor
Commission, is now under arrest on charges of embezzlement. And Ralph, who was
State Director of Agriculture, was fired by the Federal Government for being
involved in the Billie Sol Estes scandal.
Another curious Brown appointment was to put Fred Dutton on the University
of California Board of Regents, although he lives 3,000 miles away in Washington,
D.C. And the operation of Squaw Valley has been turned over to William Newsom,
a Brown crony, who has since been cited for more than 30 cases of mismanagement by
the Legislative Audit Committee.
Moreover, in government, mediocrity drives out men of quality. California has
already lost the services of such outstanding public officials as John Carr,
Director of Finance; Robert McCarthy, Director of Motor Vehicles, and Harvey Banks,
Director of the Department of Water Resources.
******
It is high time to clear the dead wood out of Sacramento -- to rid government
of those men who should never have been given positions of public trust.
My first act will be to fire William Warne, Hale Champion, Lionel Steinberg
and Milton Natapoff.

Warne should not be allowed to direct our water program. Based on his record
of mismanagement in the U. S. foreign aid program, he should never have been
appointed. And based on his record of waste, press-agentry and empire-building
in California, he should not be retained.
Champion, an ex-newspaper reporter without any fiscal or business experience,
should not be allowed to direct California's nearly $3 billion budget.
Steinberg and Natapoff should not be allowed to help direct California's farm
policies as members of the State Board of Agriculture. Steinberg has twice
pleaded guilty to violations of the Agriculture Code and Natapoff is a paid
political lobbyist.

Following Farmers for Nixon Barbecue
Sunday, September 30, 1962
2:30 p.m., Lakeport City Library Park
Lakeport, California
Saturday, September 29, 1962
The Governor of California must squarely deal with three major areas of farm
problems in order to assure the growth and prosperity of our state's number one
industry.
1. Costs: The California farmer must keep costs low enough to compete with
farmers throughout the nation.
2. Water: The California farmer, unlike farmers in many other sections, must
fight to get the water he needs at a price he can afford.
3. Government: The California farmer, who is the most independent in the
country, must fight a constant battle against bureaucratic harassment from Sacramento
and Washington, D.C.
The farm record of the present State Administration has been no hits, no runs,
three errors. And a team with that kind of a record deserves to be permanently
benched.
My Program on Farm Costs
The California farmer pays labor costs that are twice the national average.
We lead the nation in average pay for farm workers, and in the quality of the care
and facilities provided for our workers. I want California to continue to lead the
nation in fair and humane treatment of our farm workers.
But we must not allow perishable crops to rot in fields and orchards because
of phony labor disputes and harassment by the State Division of Industrial Welfare.
1. We must have a state administration that will not allow bureaucratic
harassment to tip the delicate scales in labor-management relations.
-MORE-
2-2-2
2. We must have a state administration that does not talk out of both sides
of its mouth on the question of minimum wage, My position is clear. I am opposed
to a California minimum wage for farm workers, but will support a Federal minimum
wage. This is the way to make California competitive on labor costs.
3. We must have a state administration that does not talk out of both sides
of its mouth on the bracero program. My position is clear. I support the farmer's
need for a supplemental labor supply when there is a shortage of qualified local
workers.
My Program on Water
1. The California Water Act, a nonpartisan measure that has my support, must
be administered to protect the areas of origin as well as the areas of usage.
2. The quality of water must be protected by adequate drainage and de-
salinization provisions.
3. We must have a state administration that does not talk out of both sides
of its mouth on the 160-acre limitation. My position is clear. I am opposed to all
Federal attempts to impose the 160-acre limitation on State-financed water projects,
This outmoded concept must not be used as a cynical, political instrument for ex-
propriation.
4. We must fire William Warne as the director of our water program. And he
must be replaced with the most able administrator in the State, regardless of
whether he is a Democrat or a Republican.
My Program on Farmer-Government Relations
1. We must have a state administration that will appoint the best qualified
man in California to be our Director of Agriculture -- not a William Warne, who
tried to bury the Department in his bureaucratic empire, or a James Ralph, who was
fired by the Federal Government for being involved in the Billie Sol Estes scandal.
2. We must have an administration in Sacramento that will return the State
Board of Agriculture to its former nonpartisan status -- not a Board composed of
eight members of one political party, including a paid lobbyist, and one traditionally
academic member.
3. We must have a balanced Board of Agriculture, representing all the in-
terests of farming -- not a Board with no representatives from the two largest
segments of agriculture in the State, beef and cotton, as we now have under the
present administration.
-MORE-
3-3-3
4. We must have a state administration that will stand up and fight for
California's share of world markets,
There is a very real danger that California's specialty crops, with little
political weight on the national scales, will be put on the auction block under
the new international trade program. I will use my knowledge of the intermational
bargaining table to see that California commodities are not sold down the river by
State Department negotiators in Washington, D.C.
5, We must have a state administration that will fight to get California a
voice on the U.S. Tariff Commission.
Although we are the largest agricultural exporting state in the nation, there
is no Californian on the Tariff Commission. On May 30, I called on my opponent to
meet with the State Congressional Delegation to propose a candidate for an existing
vacancy. Four months have gone by and still no action has been taken.
This does not mean that Washington is not interested in us. There seem to be
people in Washington who are extremely interested in our vote and who suddenly make
"non-political" appearances around election time. Just two weeks ago, Secretary of
Agriculture Freeman was out here to teach the California farmer about marketing
orders. Apparently, this man from Minnesota did not know that the concept of
marketing orders originated in California. He apparently did not know that
marketing orders have flourished in our state for 30 years with bi-partisan support.
And apparently Mr. Freeman did not know that Californians believe that marketing
orders mean self-management from the bottom up, rather than know-it-all management
from the top down.
We welcome Mr. Freeman to our fair climate. But we do not welcome his attempt
to put California farmers in a bureaucratic straightjacket made in Washington, D.C.
*****
I have stated 12 proposals that will help create a more prosperous agricultural
economy, These actions are in the best interests of farmers, farm workers and
consumers. A new state administration, guided by these principles, will restore
the farmer's confidence in his government.

PROGRAMS FOR A GREATER CALIFORNIA
Text of Statewide Radio Address
by RICHARD NIXON
(over CBS Network from Los Angeles)
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
September 30, 1962
Press Secretary: Herbert G. Klein
This is the second 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.
First, I want to remind you that I will be on six more three-hour telethons
throughout the State and I welcome all your questions when I appear in your area.
On this program last week, I presented an eight-point action program to make
California first in crime prevention, instead of first in crimes committed--as we
are today. My anti-crime program includes strong backing for our dedicated local
law enforcement officials, a top-level Governor's Council on Crime Prevention and
Law Enforcement to coordinate the fight for a safer California, and the death
penalty for big-time dope peddlers.
Tonight, I will talk about education and I will propose 12 steps to better
education for all our young people.
A leading educator has said, "Knowledge, freely available to a people who
have the right and the will to use it wisely, is the only real safety this world
provides. Freedom of the mind is the foundation of all other freedoms, and if it is
lost the others are soon found not worth keeping."
This is the basic reason why education is so important.
Our educational emphasis must be on giving all children an equal chance at
the starting line. But it must also be geared to stimulating the students who are
more creative--who may have exceptional abilities. I oppose the idea of using our
schools as a leveling device with an inordinate emphasis on adjustment, rather than
on opportunity and challenge.
Here is my program for progress, opportunity and freedom through education.
1. I believe that the strength and vitality of our educational system lies
in the autonomy of the local, diversified school system.
-MORE-
NIXON 2-2-2
The quality of our education largely depends on our local school districts
and the decisions made within these districts. This is the best means that has ever
been found of tailoring education to meet local living conditions.
Yet, during the past four years, there has been a trend toward greater and
greater state dictation of curricula to the local school districts. This trend must
be reversed. One way to do this is to see that each new State program imposed on the
local school district includes a legislative act providing for the financial support
of the program.
2. I believe our goal must be better salaries for our teachers and less
emphasis on fancy buildings.
What is taught, and how it is taught, is far more important to our children's
futures than having the fanciest drinking fountains, indirect lighting and ultra-
modern gimmicks.
We must create a renewed respect for our school teachers. They are profes-
sional people who are engaged in an important, honorable career--often at considerable
financial sacrifice. They should be relieved of non-teaching duties insofar as
possible.
Like all professional people, our teachers have an obligation to those they
serve--an obligation which has traditionally caused them to refrain from going out
on strike. However, the 1962 Democratic State Platform, in its Labor plank, appears
to favor such strikes. I call on my opponent to repudiate this unfortunate im-
pression that is clearly not in the best interests of our State.
3. I believe that the Fisher Bill should be amended, although I agree with the
philosophy behind it--renewed emphasis on teaching academic subjects, rather than
"frills."
We must remember that we use our schools as training grounds for many types
of jobs. Besides academic training, we must also teach vocational and specialized
subjects. We cannot afford to discourage teachers in these fields. Nor should we
penalize children who must have this kind of education.
Under a rigid interpretation of the Fisher Bill, we could unfairly and un-
wisely penalize vocational instruction. Yet more than half our students will even-
tually have jobs that require these vocational skills. I believe we must amend the
Fisher Bill to take this into consideration in granting teacher credentials.
4. We must take immediate action to solve the serious "drop out" problem in
California.
Between the eighth and twelfth grades, one out of every four pupils drops
out of school.
-MORE-
NIXON 3-3-3
Our state now pays welfare or institutional care costs for 25% of the young
people who drop out of school. It would be better to spend this money on tailoring
education for their needs, than to have to spend it after they are unemployed or
in trouble with the law.
5. We must give greater support to our junior colleges from money out of the
State's General Funds, so as to relieve some of the burden from the local property
taxpayers.
Our junior college system is designed to prepare students for higher educa-
tion; to round off the education of other students, and to prepare young people
for vocations.
The Master Plan for Higher Education recognizes the need for junior college
education, but the State has steadfastly refused to give it substantial support.
The local property taxpayers are not capable of taking on the great burden of
the junior colleges, as they are now doing. The program was not adopted with this
intent. And this situation must be remedied.
6. We must greatly improve our pupil-teacher ratio.
Of the 50 states, 44 do a better job than California in providing an adequate
number of teachers for its students. At the present time, our statewide average is
33 students to one teacher at the elementary school level.
Our children must have adequate instruction--and an overworked teacher is
forced to do a disservice to herself and her pupils.
7. The State must once again pay a fair share of the cost of the local school
districts.
At one time the State traditionally paid half the cost of the local school
districts. Under the present administration, State support has gone down to an
average of about 38%. And in some school districts, the State barely pays 20% of
the costs.
Yet the State has been forcing the local districts to add more and more
mandatory programs to their curricula, without paying its fair share of the added
costs of these programs. I do not believe that the State should impose expensive
programs on the local school districts and then simply pass the tab along to the
local property taxpayer.
8. I believe that the State Constitution must be amended to allow local
school bond issues to be approved by a simple majority of the voters.
At this time, the State can float a bond issue for school support with a
simple majority vote, but local school districts are required to get a two-thirds
vote.
-MORE-
NIXON 4-4-4
A state school bond issue aids only such districts that must borrow from the
State. But the money from local school bond issues stays right in the district. It
is unfair to make it more difficult to support your own district than to lend money
to other districts.
9. We must end our crowded classroom situation by a responsible school
construction program.
On the elementary level, we now have 90,000 school children on half-day
sessions and this number will increase unless action is quickly taken. These
children must not be short-changed.
We must also approve Proposition 1-A so that construction will keep pace
with needs on the higher education level.
10. We must end wasteful land requirements for state-financed schools. Today
a state-financed high school must have forty acres of ground, whether it needs it or not.
This is an unrealistic requirement in many rural communities and leads to wasteful
practices.
There are other unnecessary and arbitrary state-imposed building requirements
that substantially increase the costs of school construction.
11. We must improve the variety, quality, and management of textbooks.
The state must not place artificial restrictions on the variety of textbooks
available by requiring publishers to lease their plates to the State Printing Office.
California students should be able to learn from the best textbooks--not just from
the textbooks that the State is able to print itself.
Moreover, the State must give the school districts a multiple choice of
textbooks at all levels. This will reduce the possibility of errors in selection
and will give the local districts greater control over education.
The Brown Administration is guilty of shocking mismanagement of our school
textbook program.
Thousands of children throughout California are now without textbooks. At
the present time, there is an acute classroom shortage of arithmetic, handwriting,
history and geography texts.
This serious and irresponsible situation has been admitted by Burtis Claypool,
State Supervisor of Textbook Distribution.
The Cupertino Elementary School District, for example, is now short 4,910
basic texts. The Jefferson Elementary School District must have nearly 6,000 more
books to meet its pupils' needs.
While students are going without books today, only two years ago the Brown
Administration burned thousands of surplus books.
-MORE-
NIXON 5-5-5
This is a clear indication of how the present State Administration has failed
our children and is incapable of fulfilling the basic needs of our classrooms.
12. I am firmly opposed to Federal Aid to Education. On this, my opponent
and I are diametrically opposed.
From my experience in Congress and as Vice President, I know that Federal
Aid to Education will soon lead to Federal Control of Education. And I do not want
bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. to tell us how or what to teach our children here
in California.
Beyond the philosophical reasons why I reject Federal Aid to Education, let
me ask this question: Can Californians afford it? California would pay much more
to the Federal Government for support of an education program than we would get back
in Federal funds. It would cost Californians six dollars for every four dollars
returned to us. In other words, we would be paying a great premium for Washington
red tape.
But opposing aid to education from Washington means assuming the responsi-
bility to support better education in California. Only we can give California
the best paid teachers, the lowest drop out rate, and the best educational system
at all levels in the nation.
As parents, we know that there is nothing more important than the education
of our children. We want our children to have the very best--not only in educational
facilities, but also in educational quality. If it takes sacrifice to give this to
our children, then sacrifice we must.
As free citizens, we also know that there is nothing more important than the
education of our children. We have not been able to give our children an inheritance
that will allow them to deal with the problems of a world half-free, half-ruled by
Communist dictatorship. And the survival of our great nation depends on how well we
prepare them for the challenges they must face.
I believe the 12 steps to better education that I have outlined today will
help us fulfill our obligation to our children, our state and our nation.

Remarks by Richard Nixon
For a greater California, we must become the first state in crime
prevention; first in waste-free, low-tax government; first in jobs,
and first in fighting the Communist menace.
Yet what 18 the record of the present state administration?
Instead of being first in crime prevention, California is now
first in crimes committed. Today, according to the FBI, there are more
major crimes in California than in New York, Pennsylvania, and New
Jersey together -- states whose combined population is twice as large
as California's.
Instead of being first in waste-free, low-tax government,
California is new first in the cost of government, which has forced upon
our people the heaviest tax burden in the nation. The present state
administration has given California the greatest tax increase in
history --- nearly one billion dollars in four years.
Instead of being first in jobs, the total number of Californians
out of work rose 52.6% from 1959 to 1961 -- while in the years before
the present administration, from 1950 to 1959, the number of unemployed
dropped 15.4%. Our state now has the worst record of business failures
of all the major industrial states and the worst record of bankruptcies
in the nation.
Instead of being first in fighting communism, California has
not had & single item of anti-subversive legislation in our years.
And, under the present administration, at least eight individuals who
refused to answer questions about communist activities before legislative
investigating committees have spoken on the campuses of our tax-
supported schools.
*******
- 2 16.
This is my program to restors the peoples' confidence in
government and make a greater California.
1. To give California the best crime record in the country,
I intend to back up our dedicated local law enfortement officials with
the strong laws they need to do the job. I intend to appoint a
Governor's Council on Crime Prevention and Law Enforcement, composed
of the top local, county and state leaders, to coordinate the fight
against crime. And I intend to firmly support capital punishment,
including the death penalty for big-time narcotics peddlers.
2. To give California the most efficient state adpinistration
in the nation, X intend to appoint the best qualified man in are state,
without regard to whether they are Democrate or Republicans. 1 also
intend to cut the cost of government 80 that a tax rise will be avaided
and tax reductions can be made.
3. To make the necessary jobs for all Californians, IL intend
to undertake & "California Crusade for New Business Investment." And
I intend to create jobs by making our state government known throughout
the nation for its dedication to free enterprise, SII that business
leaders will say, "Let's move our plants to California where the climate
14 good, the menpower is available, and we won't be sandbagged any
longer by rising taxes and bureaucratic harassment.
4. To make California into a model for effectively fighting
communism, I intend to initiate a three-pronged program of anti-
communist education, legislation and investigation. And my program
will bar from speaking on tex-supported campuses those individuale who
have refused to answer questions about communist activities before
legally constituted bodies or who have refused to comply with the
registration provisions of the Subversive Activities Control Ast of 1951.
*******
- 3 -
The choice is clear-cut. My opponent and I have dismetrically
opposite philosophies. Every time a problem comes up -- whether it is
education for our children or medical care for our aged -- he says,
"Let Washington do it." While I say, "Let's not turn to government
if we can do the job in our individual and private capacities."
When a problem comes up that can only be handled by government,
my opponent says, "Let government in Washington do it." While I
say, "The best government is not 3,000 miles away, but the government
that is closest to the people."
On November 6th, I am confident that the people of Celifornia
will vote for individual opportunity; for better government in
Sacramento, rather than bigger government in Washington; and to make
California into a shining example of an Opportunity State, instead
of a sorry example of a Handout State.

The tragic events in Mississippi affect Californians just as surely as if they

propagandists will now broadcest our shame around the world.
President Kennedy has taken necessary action to enforce the law of the land,
but now preventative action is needed to see that this national disgrace is not
repeated.
I respectfully urge that President Kennedy, after a reasonable cooling off
period, call a conference of governors of the states where such incidents could
occur to devise ways and means to insure that this type of tragedy will not be
repeated in the future. The President has the duty to enforce the law cf the land.
There must be no doubt in the minds of the governors that he means to do this. He
must lay it on the line. The President must forcefully remind the governors that
(1) he will not tolerate defiance of law, (2)he will use all of the power of his office
to enforce the law of the land, (3)he will hold them personally responsible for any
violence that may occur in defiance of the law of the land.

Nixon for Governor Rally
Pasadena, October 3, 1962
If my opponent is elected, he will have to increase taxes. If I am elected, I
will stop the rise in taxes. I will cut government expenses SO that we can get the
surplus that will allow us to reduce taxes.
The choice is clear: A vote for Brown is a vote to increase taxes; a vote for
Nixon is a vote to cut spending, stop the rise in taxes, and reduce the burden on the
taxpayers.
My opponent has made a "no tax" promise that he can't possibly keep and
still keep his other campaign promises. It is this stark fact that the present State
administration now tries to cover up by manufacturing myths of fiscal responsibility,
balanced budgets, and meaningless pledges to turn over a new leaf and go straight
next year.
Let us explode these myths right here and now.
1. The Myth of Fiscal Responsibility
Mr. Brown, October 1: "The first thing I had to do as Governor of the State
was to assure the people of the State that they would have fiscal responsibility in their
State government. My friends, they have had it."
Is it fiscal responsibility to raise the State budget 52.6%, while the population
has gone up only 15.5%. This has been done.
Is it fiscal responsibility to raise individual personal income taxes 106.2%,
while the population has gone up only 15. 5%? This also has been done.
Is it fiscal responsibility to raise the authorized bonded debt of the State
110. 4%, as has been done?
Is it fiscal responsibility to raise the State payroll 47% and the number of State
employees 26. 4%?
After looking at the Brown record of so-called "fiscal responsibility", I can
only agree with him that the people "have had it."

2. The Myth of the Balanced Budget
Mr, Brown, October 1: "We have had four balanced budgets... "
Last year, the present State administration spent $4, 222, 000, 000 the
highest State spending in the nation.
Last year, the present State administration taxed the people $4, 156, 000, 000 --
also the highest state tax collection in the nation.
In other words, Mr. Brown spent $66 million more than he took in.
In order to claim a balanced budget, as he now does, he had to borrow
$66 million, which he did.
For the moment, let us stop talking about billions and millions. Let us say
that you earned $ 5, 000 last year and spent $6,000 you would be a thousand dollar S
in debt. If you then went to the bank and borrowed the extra thousand dollars to pay
your bills, you would actually be further in debt for you would have to pay interest
on your loan. You would hardly brag that you had balanced your family budget.
Yet Mr. Brown has done just this and on the grandest scale in history.
Clearly, his claim of a balanced budget is nothing more than a grandstand play.
3, The Myth of No Tax Increase Next Year,
Mr. Brown, October 1: "I have made a pledge that there will be no new
taxes next year. "
As long as Mr. Brown supports his party's platform, a tax increase is
inevitable. The cost of the 1962 Democratic State Platform in additional spending in
California over the next four years will be a minimum of $1,360,000,000. Where can
the State possibly get that kind of money without raising our taxes ?
Last Monday, in our joint appearance, I gave my opponent the opportunity to
repudiate this plan to drive our State to the poorhouse. He refused to do SO.
In fact, while pledging "no new taxes, I have learned that the present State
Administration is right now considering three new taxes, Tomorrow in Manhattan
Beach I will set forth the new tax proposals now under consideration by the Brown
Administration,

money as if it were going out of style.

I completely disagree with the recommendation of the State Department of
Education to raise the burden on Celifornia's property taxpayers. This proposal
is typical of the Brown administration's refusal to take cognizance of the tax
revolt among millions of homeowners in California.
Our junior colleges must have greater state financial support than they are
now getting under the Brown administration, but this additional money should come
from the State's General Fund--not from a statewide property tax.
Our expanding junior colleges are a great asset to all Californians. It is
not right for the property taxpayers to be singled out and saddled with most of
the junior college's cost.
For the state to levy a property tax would be an invasion of a tax field long
reserved for local governments, It could seriously weaken local government in
California.
Average property taxes are now $600 a year for a family of four in California.
In the last three years property taxes for school support have gone up nearly three
times faster than the population has grown; property taxes for county support have
increased more than twice as fast as the population. We are fast reaching the
point where private home ownership will be too expensive for anyone but the very
rich. The state must not now add to this burden.

California cannot afford four more years of the Brown Admini-
stration -- the most expensive state government in the history of
our country, which has imposed on Californians the greatest additional
state tax burdens known to man.
The voters must now choose between Mr. Brown and raising taxes,
or new leadership and cutting the cost of government so as to reduce
taxes.
While my opponent pledges no new taxes next year, his admini-
stration is now considering three proposals to increase taxes.
Either the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing
or else the people are being told less than the full story of our
state's financial condition.
Right now state planners are looking into the advisability of
soaking Californians with a statewide property tax, a rise in the
cigarette tax, and a state withholding tax.
I oppose all three moves. I call on my opponent to also publicly
repudiate these taxing schemes.
1. Statewide Property Tax
On September 28, Dr. Wallace W. Hall, State Associate Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction, testified before the Assembly Interim
Subcommittee on Higher Education in favor of a statewide property tax.
He recommended a tax of 20 cents for each $100 of assessed property.
Yesterday I strongly stated my views on this plan in detail.
-MORE-
2-2-2
I oppose any state attempt to invade a tax field that has long been
reserved for local government. And I oppose any state move to add a
heavier tax burden on our homeowners.
2. New Cigarette Tax
In 1959, as part of the program that gave California the largest
tax increase in the history of any state, my opponent put through a
three cents a package tax on cigarettes.
Now, according to veteran Sacramento reporter Henry C. MacArthur
of the Capitol News Service, "The administration is considering asking
for an additional cent on cigarettes."
Mr. Brown has never denied this report. What is his position
now?
3. State Withholding Tax
At the last session of the legislature, a resolution was passed
to study a state withholding tax. Then, on May 8, the Department of
Finance sent a questionnaire to all states that now have withholding
taxes. But, far from simply trying to find out how withholding tax
systems work, the Brown Administration asked questions designed to
anticipate the politics of getting a withholding tax passed. On page
three, this questionnaire asks: "Was there any opposition to the
legislation which proposed withholding from any of the following?
Employer, Taxpayer, Unions, Chamber of Commerce, Special Interest."
If the state is now preparing the groundwork for a withholding
tax, the people should know about it.
I am opposed to this system of state taxation. In operation, a
withholding tax borrows money from those who can least afford it.
Officials at the State Board of Equalization have already been asked
to compute the cost to the taxpayer of this scheme. By their calcu-
lations, an additional $45 to $60 million will be collected each year.
The catch is that the State will have to return all but $15 million
because it will have been collected from those people who earn so
little that they will not owe the State the taxes which have already
been withheld.
-MORE-
3-3-3
This will just be another example of the boondoggling with kited
checks for which this administration is already famous. The refunded
money is nothing more than an interest-free loan to the state from
people in the lowest income brackets.
*****
Only a Houdini could pledge massive additional government spending
and no new taxes - and not welsh on one or the other of his promises.
Yet my opponent pledges no new taxes while running on a Party
platform that promises $1,360,000,000 in new spending over the next
four years. Where does he propose to get this money? From a state
property tax? From a new cigarette tax? From a withholding tax?
The people of California have the right to know whether Mr. Brown
is already hedging on his "no-new-tax" promise.

PROGRAMS FOR A GREATER CALIFORNIA
Monday AM Release
Text of Statewide Radio Address
October 8, 1962
by RICHARD NIXON
(over CBS Network from Los Angeles)
October 7, 1962
Press Secretary: Herbert G. Klein
This the third 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 in-
cludes 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.
Last week, I discussed 12 steps to better education for all our young people
over the next 4 years.
Tonight, I want to talk about the special needs of our elderly citizens. And
1 will spell out the five ways a new governor can lead the way to happier and more
meaningful lives for Californians over 65.
Nearly nine Californians out of every 100 are over 65. If our 1.7 million
senior citizens were all in one city, its population would surpass Baltimore,
Maryland -- the sixth largest city in the United States. In fact, in 1960, there
were 28,007 persons over 85 years of age in our state -- the equivalent of a city
the size of Monrovia.
These people must have the opportunity to lead productive lives. California
cannot afford to lose the talent and wisdom that they have gained over the years.
These people must have a chance to enjoy retirement. When they rely on govern-
ment programs and services, they must not be subjected to thoughtless bureaucratic
harassment,
And these people must have our respect, as the Third Commandment -- "Honor Thy
Father and Mother" -- directs.
-MORE-

During my years in Congress, I supported legislation in 1948, 1949 and 1950 to
increase payments and extend benefits under the Social Security program, increase
benefits for retired railroad workers and increase payments to the blind.
Then, during the Eisenhower-Nixon Administration, we were further able to
broaden Social Security coverage, make an additional eleven million people eligible
for Social Security, allow women to receive Social Security at age 62, and in-
crease payments by 25% to 30%.
Yet today there are still many senior citizens who are seriously pressed by
the mounting cost of medical care, the limited opportunity to earn an income to
supplement their pensions, and the hazards of inflation.
I'd like to read you one of the many letters I receive from older people.
This is dated September 25 and comes from a lady in Compton. She writes:
"Dear Mr. Nixon:
"I am writing you in regard to relief of real property taxes on elderly people
who are over 70 years and in the lowest income group.
"Now that I am 76 years of age, also have an income of less than $600 per
year, I find it difficult to raise this tax every year, and then too, everything
continues to rise in cost. Inflation has taken savings of years past and sick-
ness, dental and eye glasses are to be met quite often.
"I hope you will consider this appeal and do something for us who are very
much in need of relief."
Here is a person who had planned for the day when she would no longer be able
to work. She had set aside savings for this purpose. Over the years she had also
managed to buy a home. Yet a cruel inflation has reduced the value of her savings
by almost one-half. At the same time, taxes have sky-rocketed and failing health
adds to her burden. This lady, and many like her, now faces the prospect of
possibly having to sell her home; moving away from friends into a strange neighbor-
hood, probably into housing that is below the standard she is used to,
These problems matter to me and I believe they must be of concern to everyone.
We must take steps to solve them now -- or they will grow much worse as a greater
percentage of our population becomes older.
I propose a five-point plan for the next 4 years to enable our older people to
manage their own affairs and to have new dignity, happiness and comfort.
1. We must have tax reform to aid our older citizens.
I propose three immediate actions. First, I will provide leadership from the
Governor's office to get tax relief on the homes of older citizens who have
-MORE-
3-3-3
limited incomes. Second, I will vigorously oppose moves, such as the one recently
proposed by the State Department of Education, to impose a statewide property tax
for the first time in California history. And third, 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. This will bring our
state in line with federal income tax provisions.
2. We must improve our assistance to older people during times of illness.
I know from first-hand experience what long illness can do to a family's
finances. My father was under medical care for 6 years before he died, so I know
the burden of mounting bills for hospital care, medicine and doctors.
Various solutions have been proposed to help meet the cost of medical care.
Back in 1949, when I was a Congressman, I introduced legislation called, "The
National Health Bill", which was a health insurance plan with both individual and
government participation. My plan also called for an increase in appropriations
from $75 million to $175 million for hospital construction, and the creation of
community health centers.
For 14 years I have supported the voluntary insurance principle as the most
constructive and effective approach to the problem of beating the cost of medical
care. It uses government to help spread the risk. But it keeps government from
coming between the patient and his doctor. As Governor, I will continue to work
to encourage the expansion of voluntary health insurance in California.
Second, I will support Congressional action for government participation in
the payment of premiums for private health insurance plans -- that is called "The
Bow Bill". Such legislation would cover all persons over 65, not just those on
Social Security. It would also provide for the cost of out-patient care and cover
doctors' bills.
Third, I will seek to amend the California Medical Assistance Program for the
Aged, passed in 1961, to eliminate the 30-day waiting period. Cost of treatment
does not wait 30 days and neither should payments under this program.
This law was passed to implement the Kerr-Mills Act, which I have always
supported. This is a new program and should be given a fair chance to prove its
worth before rushing off to enact other untried approaches.
It should also be pointed out that the Kerr-Mills plan, which provides medical
assistance for all elderly people in need, covers every expense of sickness --
-MORE-
4-4-4
hospital and nursing care, drugs, doctors' services, out-patient costs. The King-
Anderson Bill, the so-called medicare program, covers only hospital and nursing
home care and is only for people on Social Security.
The issue of medicare has become so heated that it is now necessary to review
its background. For 17 years some form of this proposal to provide for medical care
under Social Security has been before the Congress. It has never passed. It was
defeated in the Senate in 1960. It was again defeated by the Senate in 1962.
Therefore, for realistic and practical reasons, I believe it is necessary to get to
work on legislation that will pass; to get to work on legislation that will effective-
1y deal with the problem of getting proper medical care for our elderly population --
and stop allowing politicians to exploit this issue by refusing to budge from a
particular bill that has been consistently voted down for 17 years. This is another
reason why I propose expanded programs of health insurance and ways to improve
existing laws.
3. We must strengthen our welfare programs, by better administration and by
getting the chiselers off the rolls so that assistance to the deserving people will
not be endangered.
The important point I want to stress is that the people now receiving welfare
assistance have the greatest stake in seeing that these programs are not undermined
by chiselers. Unless steps are immediately taken to restore public confidence,
there will be a serious public reaction to the whole welfare program.
I have proposed a program which will save $27 million annually in the handling
of welfare. This savings will come primarily from tightening regulations in the ANC
program, which now often makes it more profitable for a man not to work than to work.
And this savings will be made without cutting one cent from assistance to the aged,
the blind, or the handicapped.
Yet my opponents are now conducting a vicious campaign of lies and distortions.
They call my positive program a "hate-the-needy scheme". They say my plan "would
create wholesale suffering and actual starvation to thousands of aged, blind and
disabled Californians". There is not one word of truth in their charges.
My program would save the taxpayers' money, including the elderly taxpayers'
money. My program wholeheartedly supports aid to the aged, the blind, the disabled,
and needy children. My program is aimed at getting chiselers off welfare rolls.
And this is in the very best interest of all Californians regardless of their
political affiliations or their economic status.
-MORE-
5-5-5
4. We must create more housing for the elderly at prices they can afford.
I will work to establish a California Housing Finance Agency to harness
private investment to build housing for the aged.
One of the most distressing problems of our senior citizens, especially those
who are single, is the shortage of reasonably priced, decent housing.
Under the Eisenhower-Nixon Administration, single elderly persons were made
eligible for public housing for the first time. Another program initiated under
our administration made more housing for the elderly possible by insuring mortgages
up to 90% of cost for non-profit construction. There has already been progress
made in California under this program.
But we can and must do better. New York, with the same population as California,
increased housing facilities for the aged by 75% in the last three years. California
is now passing New York in pepulation and we cannot continue to fall behind it in
meeting this serious problem.
5. We must make maximum use of the talent and wisdom of our senior citizens.
I will mobilize the great talents, skills and training of our senior citizens
in a "California Legion of Service".
So that the experience and knowledge of a lifetime can be used in building a
greater California, retired persons will be asked to join "CALegion" and help train
our young people.
Young people, especially those with inadequate schooling, will be instructed
on an "each-one-teach-one" basis. They will learn carpentry or masonry or any
other occupation from a teacher who has devoted his life to developing a particular
skill.
I am sure that the thousands of volunteer teachers in "CALegion" will also get
a real sense of satisfaction from sharing their skills and helping to build the
human resources of our. state.
The way this new plan will work is that a "CALegion" Council will study
community needs throughout the state and then issue calls for volunteers as a need
develops.
For example, there is now a program in Madera County in which citizens help
rehabilitate juvenile offenders. The volunteers in this program have found that
some of these young people had never been to a ball game, or gone fishing, or dis-
cussed their problems with an adult. After eight months under this program, not one
boy assigned to an older person has been returned to the court.
-MORE-
6-6-6
Such use of volunteers will be studied by the "CALegion" Council and then a
call will go out for the volunteers needed to do the job.
The Council might also determine that 200 retired nurses are needed to help
in community hospitals, or that 150 retired cosmeticians are needed to visit out-
patients, or that 300 retired teachers are needed to instruct children who are
confined to bed.
I believe this is a new and positive way to use government to recruit the
manpower that is ready and willing to lend a helping hand. I know that our older
citizens will respond to this call to serve our state and serve the future.
******
These are the five ways that I'll bring an added dignity to the lives of our
senior citizens -- not by degrading them with bureaucratic harassment and red tape,
but by making government responsive to real needs.
I predict that the program I have presented tonight, including the creation of
a California Legion of Service, will become a model for other states to follow --
a model of how to effectively help senior citizens to lead creative lives by helping
them to serve their state and nation.

Two facts stand out from the statistics on jobs in California that
were released yesterday: 1) Unemployment in our state has increased
44.8% in the past three years -- from September 1959 to September 1962;
2) The month's drop in unemployment is 27% worse than the August-to-
September average for the previous four years.
I call on Mr. Brown to explain this unconscionable failure of his
leadership to make the jobs that Californians must have,
My opponent may be satisfied with a record of 323,000 Californians
out of work, but I am not. And I will not be satisfied until California
leads the nation in the industrial expansion necessary to create jobs
for all our people -- instead of being ninth, as we are today,
There is nothing wrong with California's job climate that dynamic
leadership from Sacramento won't cure We have the manpower, the
the resources to lead the nation, Now we must also have a state
government that will encourage job-producing businesses in California:
not continue to drive them out,
Comparing the first September under the present State regime with the
month just ended, we see that from September 1959 to September 1962
unemployment in California has gone up 44.8%, This is the truest measure
of the job gap in our State. It is a major indictment of the Brown
Administration and graphically documents its inability to create the
necessary jobs for our expandingpopulation,
And, the situation is getting worse. From August 1959 to August 1962
unemployment had gone up 40.2%. Now the latest meaningful comparison
of employment figures show a deterioration of nearly five percentage
points in the last month.
September is a month when students and other job-seekers leave the
labor market -- when unemployment always drops, It is hypocrisy to
point with pride to a September unemployment drop of only 33,000 in
a state the size of California. California's seasonal decline in
employment this year was way below what we have every right to expect,
decline
and way below our state's average
for the previous four years,

Moreover, there are more distress signals ahead. Last week the
General Dynamics Corporation announced it will lay off from 5,000 to
8,000 workers in San Diego within a year. This is in addition to a
national phase-out of the Atlas missile program that will also effect
Californians.
Clearly, the Brown Administration is incapable of coping with the
situation. California immediately needs new and dynamic leadership. It
must have leadership that will end anti-business harassment. It must
have leadership that will not sandbag industries with new taxes. It
must have leadership that will initiate a "California Crusade for New
Business Investment." It must have leadership that will be wholly
dedicated to free enterprise and doing things the individual way instead
of the government way.
I have an effective, positive program to create at least a million
new jobs in California over the next four years: My opponent runs on
a platform that calls for a minimum of $1.36 billion in additional
government spending in California. A program that must drive taxes up.
The choice is clear. During the present State administration,
forty-four companies have gone out of business or announced plans not to
expand in California. The Brown Administration will continue to
discourage businesses with its high-tax, high-spend policy. A Nixon
Administration will cut
government
spending SO as to reduce the tax
burden and encourage industry to make jobs in California.

There is nothing wrong with California's business climate that a dynamic "sales
manager" in Sacramento can't cure. California is a great product -- with the man-
power, the talent, and the resources to lead the nation. Yet we rank ninth in
industrial expansion. It is time for new management in the front office.
Our quota over the next four years is one million new jobs. We can top this
goal by (1) starting a "California Crusade for New Business Investment" and (2)
cutting the cost of government so as to reduce the taxpayers' burden which is
the heaviest in the United States.
Today California has the most costly state administration in the history of
our country. This has necessitated nearly 01 billion of new taxes in four years
to pay for the operation of our state government.
I pledge to cut $50 million from government spending in California next year
by making savings in five areas.
1. $27 million can be saved on welfare programs without cutting one cent
from the aged, the handicapped and others who are entitled to assistance. Getting
chiselers out of the ANC program will save $25 million. Another $2 nillion can be
saved by just bringing drug prescriptions into line with Veterans Administration
procedures.
2. $15 million can be saved on personnel by not filling positions in
"non-growth" departments and by cutting down on State press agents.
3. $6 million can be saved in the mental hygiene program by not allowing
derelicts to use State institutions as winter resorts.
4. $1 million can be saved by abolishing the super-agencies that come between
the Governor and the operating level of the State and confuse the chain of command.
5. Another $1 million can be saved by following the Legislative Analyst's
recommendations to cut the fat out of Mr. Warne's Water Agency and by ending non-
essential government studies.
The present state administration is running on a platform that would cost an
additional $1.36 billion over the next four years. This 49-page document does
not contain a single proposal to cut the cost of government.
So what is involved in this election is more than my proposal to save $50
million next year. What is involved is the basic question: Should government
care about the people's noney? The people pay for government. And Californians
deserve a government that wants to take less from the people so that the people
will have more for themselves. Only this type of concern for the people will
bring our taxes down and encourage industries to create new jobs in California.

Yet there is no surer sign of our victory than the strategy Mr. Brown has adopted.

Every discredited smear that Mr. Kennedy refused to use in 1960 has been desper-

The faceless man who convinced Mr. Brown to reject the type of hard, clean fight-

he has ordered his hatchetmen to launch against me with his great position of public

The least he owes Californians is to end his career as a man by standing up and

A campaign smog screen of personal attacks and tough talk will not hide the
weak-kneed narcotics record of the present state administration.
Everyone in Downey, and throughout California, remembers the tragic 1960 murder
of Leonard Moore, the high school student from this area who was killed by two young
narcotics addicts.
In protest, the students from the Downey area asked Mr. Brown to put a tough
narcotics program before the legislature. This was his reply: "I don't believe (in
having) 250 children calling on the Governor to discuss something they know nothing
about."
Less than a month later, on April 4, 1960, my opponent said, "I know that
simply enacting further increases in (narcotics) penalties or restrictions would not
rid us of this menace."
He blocked the legislature from acting on narcotics control, while at the same
time, he asked the legislature to abolish capital punishment.
But, on January 31, 1961, after another year of sharp rises in narcotics
offenses, and strong pressure from law enforcement officials, civic and church
leaders, Mr. Brown was forced to publicly and completely reverse himself. He said,
"We propose harsher penalties for narcotic offenders -- so that for the peddler the
profit will not be worth the risk."
Californians forced him to support tough narcotics laws in 1961 against his
wishes. Adult felony violations immediately dropped 18%. His indecision had ob-
structed the crackdown on narcotics for a full two years. Now it is of vital impor-
tance that California have a stronger, more effective narcotics control program.
Today under the present state administration, more major crimes are committed
in California than in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania combined -- although
their combined population is twice as great as ours.
And when the professional associations of our first-rate local law enforcement
officers asked for stronger tools to do their job, Mr. Brown allowed all 15 of their
proposals to die in the legislature.
California cannot afford four more years of this kind of complacency and
indecision.
My program will smash the narcotics traffic in California.
First, it will stand squarely behind capital punishment, including the death
penalty for big-time dope peddlers.
Second, it will forcefully back up our dedicated local peace officers, instead
of constantly criticizing the Chief of Police and Sheriff of Los Angeles and others
who are trying to develop a more effective program to deal with dope peddlers and
addicts.
Third, it will give our local law enforcement officials a realistic legislative
program so that they will no longer be hog-tied in narcotics cases. Within our
constitutional framework, it will provide a reasonable definition of our search and
seizure laws and will protect the identity of informants, who are essential in
narcotics cases.
Fourth, it will set up a top-level Governor's Council on Crime Prevention and
Law Enforcement to help educate our young people on the menace of dope and dangerous
drugs and coordinate research on the causes and cures of narcotics addiction.
And I challenge my opponent to debate my law enforcement program and his
record any time, any place, in any format.

While my opponent and his hatchetmen have been dredging up the discredited
personal smears that Mr. Kennedy rejected in 1960, I have been travelling up and
down our state presenting 18 detailed and positive programs for a greater California.
And this Sunday evening, I will broadcast my 19th program on freeways and
rapid transit.
For those who wish to pretend that there are no issues in this election, let
them write or phone the Nixon headquarters for my complete four-year proposals on
welfare, taxes, government spending, jobs, depressed industries lumber, motion
pictures, aircraft production, government reorganization, senior citizens, crime,
communism, water, education, agriculture, fish and game, civil rights, government
appointments, and every major ballot proposition.
Among the programs I have proposed in the past four weeks are these:
I have specified exactly how to cut $50 million dollars in government spend-
ing next year, including a $27 million dollar saving on welfare programs that will
not take one cent from the aged, the handicapped and others who deserve assistance.
My program for a "California Legion of Service" will mobilize the talents of
our senior citizens to train the youth, especially the young people who have dropped
out of school.
In an 8-point action program to fight crime, I call for the death penalty for
big-time dope peddlers.
And to reverse the trend that is discouraging industry from locating in our
state and creating jobs, I have outlined a "California Crusade for New Business In-
vestment,
These are the four-year proposals that my opponent refuses to debate. And
let me reiterate: I will debate him on his record for my program any time, any place,

There is an old saying: In solving local problems, there is
a right way and a Washington way.
This is not because Federal officials are less dedicated to
the public good or less capable. It is not even a matter of
geography --- Washington being 3,000 miles removed from our
problems.
The reason why local problems are best solved by local
people and local government goes back to something Thomas Jeffer-
son said 146 years ago, "What destroys the liberty and the rights
of man is concentrating all powers into one body.
When it comes to our system of governing ourselves, in
diversity there is strength. Strong county government in
California is the best and surest way to put the brake on the
dangerous trend toward too much power in Washington and
Sacramento.
Whether it is the location of a freeway or the design of a
State building, today we see an unfortunate disregard for the
wishes of the people and the local government most immediately
affected.
In education, the trend is toward more and more State dicta-
tion of curricula.
In welfare, the trend is toward more State control; less
county control.
This is degrading to the dedicated and able men and women
who work in county and local government. Eut, even more important,
it is degrading to the people of California since it assumes that
Big Government knows best how to run our lives.
As leaders in your communities, you have a duty to ask every
candidate for national and state office where he stands on this
insidious trend toward all-powerful government. And as free
Californians, you deserve to get this answer: When a job must
be done by government, I believe we must turn first to the govern-
ment closest to the people.

Californians want a Covernor who stands on his feet, makes
his own decisions and fights his own battles.
This is what I have always done in my 14 years of public
service; this is what I shall continue to do as Covernor of
California.
My opponent has chosen to end his political career in a
pathetic manner. Having the opportunity to make his personal
charges against me to my face and before millions on television,
he ran out of the ring -- weakly disclaiming any responsibility
for the smears he had planted.
This is a discredit to the Office of Governor and the people
of California. I refuse to step down to this low level.
Mr. Brown now sees that his campaign cannot get off the
ground. His crowds are small and there is no enthusiasm in his
camp. So he has ducked out of the ring and left his paid hench-
men to carry the ball.
This is not worthy of the great office he holds. The people
deserve to hear from my opponent -- not from his press agents
and ghost writers. The puff-peddlers can make bad statistics
look good and failure look like success. They can manipulate
a candidate's image, but they cannot climb into a Covernor's shoes
and make his decisions for him.
And now my opponent has frantically sent out the call for the
greatest rescue brigade in the history of American politics.
Californians are happy to hear the opinions of seven out of ten
members of the Cabinet of the United States. We welcome these
distinguished gentlemen to our fair climate. It is getting cold
in Washington, D. C. this time of year and we can understand why
they wish to take in some of our sunshine. But their important
duties will require them to go back East. They are not going to
be able to stay around and run the State of California. And they
cannot climb into a Governor's shoes and make his decisions for
him.

California cannot afford four more years of bumbling and
fumbling and stumbling. When 3 dangerous rapist is sentenced
to death by a legally constituted court of this state,
Californians expect the Governor to uphold the law and not try to
pass the buck to world opinion.
It is time for Mr. Brown to stand up like a man and debate the
issues of this campaign. If he believes that Californians should
be satisfied while our State is first in crime in the nation, let
him say it in my presence. If he believes that Californians
should continue to have the highest tax burden in the nation, let
him say it in my presence. Let him then make his personal
attacks on me and my family to my face. It is time for him to
fight his own battle like a man rather than to leave the fighting
to his mercenaries.

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-
- -
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 Misenhower-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 25 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.
- More -
- 3 -
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 Covernor 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 cuestions.
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) How 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.
- More ..
- 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-will 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
proolem. 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 Covernor 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
- More -
- 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."

This telegram was sent on October 14, 1962, to 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
at a highly appropriate hour as a public service to the citizens of
your area.

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.

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.

FOR FLAT AM RELEASE

Friday, October 19
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. All 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."

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.

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

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

Traffic Safety
California, under the present administration, has the worst record of
highway fatalities in the nation. This loss of lives can be prevented by
strong leadership from the Governor's office.
I pledge a hard-hitting four-year program to make our highways the
safest in the nation.
1. Require individuals, as a condition of licensing, to agree to take
a blood alcohol test if they are stopped on suspicion of drunk driving.
2. Make removal of licenses mandatory upon conviction for drunk driving.
3. Make jail sentences mandatory upon conviction of drunk driving.
4. Make State vehicle inspection mandatory.
5. Speed up driver education, particularly behind-the-wheel training.
In my Program for a Greater California, highway safety will also be
achieved by improving freeway construction and by creating a Rapid Transit
District of Southern California to relieve traffic congestion.
During the present State administration, drunk driving as a cause of
traffic accidents has increased 21%. Yet when Bob McCarthy tried to crack
down on this manslaughter, my opponent forced him out of office.
The choice is clear. Mr. Brown is satisfied with things as they now
stand. I propose a strong highway safety program. More than 25,000 Cali-
fornians have been killed on our highways in the past six years and strong
measures must be taken.

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 Incal 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.

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 on 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 manalaughter 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 dope
peddlers.

PROGRAMS FOR A GREATER CALIFORNIA
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, I 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,
Massachuretts, and North Carolina. And New York, with the same population as
California, has built or started three times as many new plants a3 we have since
the beginning of last year.
3. California has the worst record of bankruptcies in the nation. In 1961,
there wave more bankruptcies in California than in all of New York, Pennsylvania,
Texas, Ohio 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 haressment 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 simply 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 -
:
- 7 -
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.
- More -
- 0 -
The growth of California has been built on creativity. Whether it is in
agriculture, shopping centers, architecture, home decorating, sports clothes,
entertainment, or aero-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 80 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.

Regarding President Kennedy's
Cuban Statement - October 22, 1962
As one who has urged for several months that stronger action be
taken in Cuba, I fully support the action the President has taken today.
There are obvious risks in this action. But the risks of inaction
are 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 traveling 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 action.
Although the nation is in the midst of a political campaign, I know
that whenever our peace and freedom are threatened Democrats and
Republicans alike will think of America first, rather than the party.

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

under George Christopher's direction it will make major break-throughs in the

Richard Nixon said Sunday (October 21st) that California cannot afford

discrimination in this state.
He said the new Council will consist of top leaders among employers,

Mixon discussed the matter of civil rights and discrimination Sunday
morning when he visited three Negro churches in the Berkeley-Oakland area.
He pointed out that it is not enough simply to have a law on the books
which says - you should not discriminate we should be against discrimina -
tion and prejudice not because it is the law but because it is right and good.
During each program, Nixon's record as Chairman of the Government
Contracts Committee was analyzed. While Vice President, Nixon headed a
committee which scored major breakthroughs in both the field of equal
opportunity for employment and in gaining major opportunity for promotion
for Negro groups. To date, no committee or state organization has come
close to duplicating the Nixon record of performance in this field.
In urging the formation of a Council on Equality of Opportunity, Nixon
pledged a positive program which not only will deal with strict interpretation
of the law but which also will urge leadership to gain major breakthroughs
against prejudice. "We must take a positive approach and win this battle
which is only just, " he said.
Promises in the field of civil rights are easy to make, he said, but it

is the performance which counts.
He said we must provide more than just jobs for the Negro. We must
give them a chance to be promoted to positions of real responsibility in their
jobs. By giving them an equal chance we can develop America to the full.

Taylor Memorial Methodist Church and the Bethel Missionary Baptist Church
of Oakland.

After visit with
Sonoma State Hospital Employees
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 their 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 properly done with
a smaller staff. These proposals will not endanger the job of a single
career 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 largely depends 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 tradi-
tion 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
53
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,
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.

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

demonstrating against a Committee of the United States Congress engaged
in public business. We have but to look at the party's campus speech prog.
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 nation's leading
authority on Communism. The respected Director of the FBI.
Any this is why, throughout the campaign, I have spoken out on the
necessity of having a forceful and positive program to supplement federal
action in the fight against communism.
I have been severely 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 legislative 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 severely attacked. I have even been called a
dictator by my opponent.
And again, I welcome this attack. For I believe that Californians
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 communism.
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
:he control of the local school districts. I strongly support the super-
ision of education at the level closest to the people; and I believe that
he state must back up our school districts in this program with sufficient
sources and a multiple choice of textbooks.
This is what Mr. Brown calls distation, although his record shows that
has piled on our school districts one mandatory requirement on top of
ther, while at the same time allowing state support to pay for these
ter Imposed programs to drop to 38 percent.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
While the crises in Cuba is military in character, this should not obscure the
basic fact that the struggle with communism is probably going to be decided in the
long run by the relative economic, political and idealogical strength of our two
systems.
This is an appropriate time for us to remind ourselves that communism is betting
on a system that concentrates all power in a dictator. Our answer to communism must
not be to turn to their way by concentrating more power in big government in Washing-
ton. It must be to strengthen our own federal system of strong local and state
government.
146 years ago, Thomas Jefferson said, "What destroys the liberty and the rights
of man is concentrating all powers into one body." It is vitally important that we
now reassert and reemphasize our democratic system of decentralizing power.
As Governor, I shall always be guided by the principle that we should turn to
government in Washington only when we cannot do the job in California.
We in California, the first state in the union, have the opportunity and respon-
sibility to lead the nation in strengthening the character and responsiveness of
local government. The Governor can help immeasurably--but it must be done by deeds,
not mere lip service.
1. I believe it is of top priority for the Governor to provide leadership to
help local government find the financial resources they need to meet increased de-
mands for public service.

This year the people should not have been denied the right to vote on a con-
stitutional amendment to provide a tax on telephone companies that would have added
millions of dollars to the revenues of California cities.
This proposal, which your League staff and others have worked on, would replace
revenue lost by court decisions holding that telephone companies do not require
local franchises. To the credit of the telephone company, they recognize the in-
herent justice of the proposed amendment and had agreed not to oppose it.
2. I believe the Governor must give strong support to our local law enforce-
ment officials.
After the Carol Lane decision, I believe that the legislature should not have
been prevented from acting to redefine jurisdiction so that strong local laws would
not have been superceded by weaker state laws. Local authorities should be em-
powered to take stronger action than provided for in state law when they believe
that this is in the best interest of their people.
3. I believe that the Governor must give strong leadership to see that greater
consideration is given to local authorities in freeway construction and the loca-
tion and design of state buildings.
I support guidelines and procedures to insure that local authorities receive
an adequate hearing by an impartial examiner, adequate notice and full regard for
due process of the law.
4. I believe that the state must not impose any additional programs on the
local school districts without providing the necessary funds to pay for the state
imposed costs.
Regretably the trend has been to increase mandatory requirements while de-
creasing state support. Today we find that state support has dropped to 38 percent.
In my program for teaching communism, which I believe is vitally important at
this time, local school districts will also have a multiple choice of textbooks--
as I believe they should in every educational area.
There has been a disturbing trend in recent years to downgrade local govern-
ment and build up federal and state government at the expense of local government.
California is a place to start reversing this trend. As Governor, I pledge to work
with our city and county officials to give California not only the best state
government in the nation but also the best local government.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
All citizens--voters and candidates alike have an even
greater duty to prove the strength of our democratic system in
time of crisis than in more normal times.
The strength of free government as opposed to a dictator-
ship is in our discussion of great issues.
It would be a distortion of our system and not in the best
interests of California to declare a moratorium on political debate
because of the desire of all Americans to support the President's
Cuba policy.
I feel that I have a responsibility to the people to con-
tinue to point out the deficiencies of the present state adminis-
tration.
As these deficiencies relate to the fight against communism
it is not a question of which candidate is more anti-communist than
the other but which candidate has the most effective program to
deal with the communist menace in California.
This was true before the Cuban crisis; it becomes more
important now.
Therefore, I shall continue to present to the people my
positive program to make California a model to the nation of
effective anti-communist education, investigation and legislation.
While I am campaigning on state issues, and all my Programs
for a Greater California are directed to solving state problems, I
will not hesitate to speak out on international events when I feel
I can make a contribution to public understanding. As one who
first detailed my opposition to Castro in a confidential memorandum
to the CIA, after a 3-hour conference with the Cuban dictator in
April 1959, I believe that my views on this may be particularly
pertinent to the people of California.

"The six percent differential was enacted as an important national defense

"I urge you to veto the repeal of the six percent differential so that a Senate

"This bill, passed in the closing days of Congress, has never had a hearing

at Romata Inn
Pico Rivera, California
In a period when the Communists are stepping up their activities abroad, we
often lose sight of what will ultimately win the struggle for freedom.
People will choose freedom because it upholds the dignity of man. And no-
where is this more evident than in voluntary actions as represented by service
clubs, church groups and other non-governmental organizations. No such private
actions are allowed in a dictatorial-totalitarian society.
This imposes the responsibility on us to develop the full potential of our
voluntary agencies.
One area in which citizen organizations can make a great contribution to
the fight against communism is in crime prevention and upholding respect for the
law.
As J. Edgar Hoover has pointed out, communism always starts by undermining
respect for officers of the law and by downgrading those who are responsible for
law enforcement. It is a standard Communist tactic to raise the cry of police
brutality, whether or not it is justified.
It is time for responsible citizens to fight back--to speak up when peace
officers are unfairly attacked; to point up cases where they are doing a good job;
and to step up local voluntary activities to prevent crime, especially in the
field of curbing juvenile delinquency.
Law enforcement is government's business, but crime prevention is everybody's
business.
Government must intensify its support of our dedicated local law enforcement
officers--both with legislation and recognition.
This is why I have proposed an eight-point action program that includes a
top level Governor's Council, the death penalty for big-time dope peddlers, new
legislation to re-define search and seizure laws and to protect the identity of
informants, who are essential to narcotics cases, and "Annual California State
Awards for Excellence in Local Law Enforcement."
Candidates for these awards--"Oscars" for crime-fighting--will be nominated
by local citizens' groups, newspapers and local government. The awards will be
a dramatic way of saying to our outstanding peace officers, "We, the people of
- 2 -
California, are 100 percent behind you; we admire and respect you; and we
appreciate the sacrifice you are making to insure our safety."
As J. Edgar Hoover said earlier this month, "The fight against crime and
Communism can be won, and it will be won with the help of every decent American
citizen. No individual in this great land of ours should underestimate the
importance of his or her role."

San Mateo, California
October 25, 1962
We are living in a moment of great crisis for the United States and the
world. The times call for calm, strong, forceful leadership by all persons in
positions of authority.
The Cuban situation now transcends partisan debate. Whatever arguments may
have been, now that the course of action has been decided, now that the prestige
of the United States has been committed, we must speak with one voice to the world.
It is easy to become uninformed, emotional, excited and start runs on
gasoline stations and grocery stores. But we must not panic. We must keep our
heads, for you can be sure Khrushchev is watching how Americans react. If we
can't take it, he will provoke us all the more.
While the situation is grave, and involves serious risks, we must view it
calmly and in perspective. Clearly the President could not have acted otherwise.
He deserves our full support. For to have Castro controlling powerful weapons
of destruction would be a frightful thing. Castro, compared to Khrushchev, is
a madman.
I know Khrushchev. He is not a man who is a slave to his passion. He uses
rather than loses his temper. And he will not risk Moscow to save Havana.
The greatest danger to the cause of freedom today is not defeat in war, but
defeat without war. Forty-five years ago Communism was a cellar conspiracy.
Now, through revolution, subversion and coup d'etat, the Communists control one--
third of the world.
Communists look at the world in terms of a century and they are willing to
wait. They think they are strong and we are soft. But the greater likelihood is
that when Khrushchev is put to the point of no return he will back down.
Americans must accept the cold war as a way of life. Today the battlefront is
Cuba. Tomorrow it may be southeast Asia or Berlin.
One of the great marks of America is that we have never in our history dis-
continued political discussion, even when we have been at war. For us to follow any
other practice, especially when not at war, would be out of character with the
American tradition. This is a time for us to strengthen our understanding and
devotion to our own ideals.
We must not play the Communists' game - either out of fear or ignorance.
When our belief in free enterprise, decentralized government, voluntary action and
other political debates can keep us free and alive, those who rally to the banner
of "Better Red than dead" are either fools or cowards.

October 26, 1962
At this time of crisis, the need for education on the meaning and tactics of
communism has never been clearer. No nation ever beat an enemy through its own
ignorance.
Traveling throughout the state and nation, I have found that America's weakness
is not too much patriotism or too little patriotism but too little knowledge about
communism.
Every high school football team scouts its opponent before the big game--learn-
ing and analyzing the strong and weak points of its opposition. The struggle with
communism is no game, but it takes no less advance knowledge.
I want California's young people to have the best anti-communist education in
the nation. This is why I give high priority to a mandatory high school course,
under local school district supervision, and offering a multiple choice of textbooks.
If our students were required to read either J. Edgar Hoover's "The Study of Communism"
or Roger Swearingen's "The World of Communism", they would not be surprised that
Khrushchev and Gromyko lied to our President about the soviet missile buildup in Cuba.
Any education on communism must also teach the alternative of freedom. For, as
J. Edgar Hoover. wrote in his book, "The ultimate guarantee against communism encroach-
ment is a deep and abiding awareness on the part of each citizen that freedom is in-
herently superior to communism."
But teaching about communists doesn't mean having communist teachers. A free
educational system founded on the truth has no place for anyone who is sworn to lie
for his cause.
-MORE-
2-2-2
According to the specific criteria I have proposed, no individual who has
refused to testify before a legislative committee investigating communism or who
has refused to register under the Subversive Activities Control Act would be allowed
to speak on the campus of a tax supported institution.
It is no secret that the communists have intensified their activities to attract
young people to their cause. The Moscow Declaration of 1960 stated, "There are
new opportunities now to draw the younger generation into the struggle for peace
and democracy and for the great ideals of communism. #
Just as we owe our troops the best weapons available in any armed conflict with
communism, so too do we owe our young people the best education on communism so
that we will also win the idealogical struggle.
Communists are taught to bide their time. A defeat in Cuba or Berlin will
only be a pause in the coming generation of idealogical, political and military
warfare that we must expect.
This is why we must now calmly di scuss the best way to educate our youth against
communism. It would be a mockery of the American system to remove one of the most
crucial areas of concern from public debate. I fully agree with Mr. Brown's state-
ment during the 1960 campaign, when the communists were stepping up activities in
Quemoy and Matsu, that "if ever there was a time in our nation's history when de-
bate must be full and searching--this is such a time. We must probe deeply and
inquire fully into. the troubles that have beset us."

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

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

The experience of the Cuban crisis makes it clear again that California cannot
afford a provincial administration with an attitude of "stop the world, I want to

This is why Californians are not buying the argument that my experience in
national and international affairs will somehow be a liability for service as Governor
In fact, at a time of intensive world conflict I have found throughout the
state that people want a Governor who has firsthand knowledge and experience in
dealings with issues beyond our borders.
As the communists step up their activities abroad, there is an even greater need
to effectively fight communism at home. My 16 years of experience in fighting the
communist menace can be put to work for California. My positive program of investi-
gation, legislation and education can make California a model for state action in
this field.
Californians want a Governor who knows how to fight for our jobs and our indus-
tries when they are threatened in Washington or throughout the world.
At a time when California's farm products are in danger of being sold down the
river by State department negotiators, my knowledge of world bargaining tables can
be put to work for our state.
Whenever there is a federal move to discriminate against our shipbuilders, de-
fense workers, fishermen, miners or lumbermen, my knowledge of Washington can be

the admission of Red China into the UN.

A new freeway path has cut through the middle of Oakland and
threatens to seriously diminish the usefulness of public schools,
Mills College, hospitals, churches and residential neighbcrhoods.
An aroused citizenry has demanded that heavy truck traffic
be diverted to an existing freeway going through the industrial

well as dollars. I support this proposal to cut down the traffic
noises created by the new freeway.
The Brown administration blocks this solution to the problem
by its indecision. Brown has promised to have a meeting about it
sometime, and his engineers will conduct a study to analyze truck
noises. Meantime, the trucks will begin to roll and the damage will
be done to Oakland's neighborhoods and a beautiful college.
California has great need for decisive leadership in these free-
way problems. When elected Governor I will immediately do everything
possible to expedite the required state approval of an Oakland ordi-
nance to divert truck traffic from Mills College and the other areas
affected by this new freeway.

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

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

reduced to seeking supporters through classified ads for "Help Wanted".
I am proud that every worker I will have on e lection day will be a volunteer.
And a person who works for his beliefs will always out-produce one who is paid to

I know that the four volunteer workers we expect to have in every precinct in

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

We cannot allow Allen K. Jonas, the Director of California Disaster office to
continue to play Russian roulente with the lives of 17 million people in the event
of enemy attack.
Two new developments in the scandalous operations of the civil defense program
underscore the urgency of dismissing Jonas.
1. California's emergency communication center was revealed to be in a state
of unreadiness according to the eye witness report of Lance D. MacArthur of the,
Capital News Service on October 31. MacArthur quotes a state's spokesmen as say-
ing "it has been an all fouled up deal".
2. A civil defense official told columnist Henry C. MacArthur, November 2
that his organization doesn't know how the public will be able to get the state's
stockpile of wheat in case of emergency. MacArthur concludes that, "the peoples'
tax money has been used to transport two million bushels of wheat from the middle
west, and for storage cost on food the state administration doesn't know how it
will get to the public in case of disaster except through regular milling channels.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
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

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 17
GOP State Chairman Caspar W. Weinberger today asked the Fair Campaign
Practices Committee to investigate a published report that the California Democratic
Council has purchased 1,000 copies of a controversial booklet to make "false charges"
against the Republican party.
The 36-page booklet, entitled "California Dynasty of Communism," was written
by Karl Prussion. It was unequivocally repudiated by Richard Nixon and Weinberger
termed it "scurrilous."
"Nevertheless, despite these repudiations," Weinberger said in filmed inter-
views in Los Angeles, "Democratic leaders have sought to link the booklet and its
distribution with Mr. Nixon's supporters."
Weinberger called attention to an account of a news conference given by Karl
Prussion, a report of which was published in the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner of
October 12, 1962. The pertinent paragraph reads as follows:
"Denying that he was in politics, Prussion said that the Republicans had
never given him an order for his booklets, but that the California Democratic Council
had placed an order for 1,000 copies."
Weinberger said:
"This is a shocking disclosure. It confirms exactly what I said when this
booklet first appeared--that it is of Democratic origin and was distributed solely
for the purpose of enabling them to make another false charge against us.
"The voters of California will await with interest any reply the CDC makes
to the disclosure that they themselves purchased 1,000 copies of the booklet and
how many of these they tried to plant," Weinberger said.

To The Editor:
In the course of a political campaign, several good ideas
are lost in the flurry of speeches and activities. One such idea,
which particularly appealed to me, is Mr. Nixon's propowal for
a California Legion of Service to help our senior citizens
employ their leisure time to greater advantage.
Mr. Nixon made the proposal in his statewide broadcast
on the needs of our elderly citizens last October 8, but it
was crowded out of most newspapers by his remarks that day on
MEET THE PRESS.
On the premise that you might like Mr. Nixon's idea for a
California Legion of Service, I have prepared a suggested
editorial explaining the proposal. If you like the idea please
feel free to use it as is or in any way you may care to write
it. I think the idea is important.
Win with Nixon,
A1 Moscow
Administrative Assistant
to Richard Nixon
SUGGESTED EDITORIAL:
Out of the rough-and-tumble of California's campaign for Governor has come an
ingenious proposal to serve both the youth and the Senior Citizens of the State.
This is the meritorious plan of Richard Nixon to organize a "California Legion
of Service." It would employ the talent, skills and experience of Senior Citizens
in helping young people in need of counseling.
It is a plan that cuts across party lines and is deserving of bi-partisan
support at every level of government.
The idea is to mobilize the great force of retired men and women in California,
who are searching for a useful occupation of their time, and put them in touch with
youngsters anxious for guidance and counseling.
Mr. Nixon notes that Madera County now has a program in which citizens help
rehabilitate juvenile: offenders. The volunteers in this program discovered that
some of these young people had never been to a ball game, or gone fishing, or dis-
cussed their problems with an adult. Imagine the impact of a meeting and a working-
together between such a youngster and a man in the twilight of his life!
Mr. Nixon would extend this local program statewide and expand it to include
instruction in such skills as carpentry and automobile mechanics - not only to
juvenile delinquents but to any youngsters in need.
The former Vice President also suggests that a Council, or Board of Directors
for the Legion, study community needs throughout the state and then issue calls for
volunteers as the need arises.
Thus, the Council might find that a hospital in one community, like ours, could
use 50 more nurses. It would then ask the retired nurses in the Legion of Service
to volunteer their time. Or the Council might send out a call for 150 retired
beauty shop workers to visit "shut ins." Or it might recruit 300 retired teachers
to instruct children confined to bed.
A program such as the California Legion of Service, as suggested by Mr. Nixon,
-more-
goes far beyond dollar and cents help for either retired persons or the indigent
youngsters. It will help our retired people enjoy their leisure hours by giving
them the dignity of work and useful service.
Regardless of party affiliation, or how you intend to vote on November 6, Mr.
Nixon's idea for a California Legion of Service is worthyeof your support.
This newspaper supports it.

STATEMENT BY H. R. HALDEMAN
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 governor
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.

FOR Hi'S FRIDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1962
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 caudidacy."
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.

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.

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.

Governor Edmund Brown was challenged today by State Senator John F.

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

"This is probably the most extraordinary of the many extraordinary
statements to emanate from Governor Brown in the course of the current guberna-

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 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 few 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."

"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.

FOR TUESDAY A.M.'s
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.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Community lawyers supporting Richard Nixon for Governor, led by Walter L. Gordon
Jr. blasted the contention of Pat Brown forces that FEP has made any basic change
in the hiring practices of labor and industry. The lawyers pointed out that "In
3 years of FEP administration over 2000 complaints have been filed. Of these com-
plaints only 343 have been solved through conciliation. Not a single employer or
labor union has been hauled into court, which can be done under the law." Gordon
contends that "this is not real progress but only a smoke screen to get Negro votes.
Negro unemployment in spite of the honey-dripping claims of Pat Brown and some
labor bosses is actually the highest since the great depression of 1929."
The lawyers, in support of Richard M. Nixon's candidacy for Governor, also
stated that "What is needed is a seriously administered FEP that actually is agres-
sive and productive, not a commission that offers a tongue in check program and
allows blown-up claims. In reality this is a smoke-screen behind which demagogues
hide claiming to be for Negro rights. What is needed is a Governor who will use
his powerful office to encourage and work wi th industry and unions to use all man-
power on an equal and equitable basis. As Chairman of the Government Contracts
Commission while Vice President, Nixon received 1,000 complaints of discrimination,
860 of these cases were solved by the Commission under Nixon.
In four years of Pat Brownism not once has he called industry or labor leaders
together for getting to the bottom of continuing job dsscrimination He has not
even established a commission to look into the problem; not one single educational
program has been developed to end discrimination in employment. Again Brown's
accomplishment in ending job discrimination is no hits, no runs, all errors."

Brown and counter his "Distortion-A-Day Campaign."
Chairman of the GOP Truth Squad Committee is Senate Minority Leader

said. "We couldn't allow his Distortion-A-Day Campaign to continue forever.
"We challenge him upon his arrival to explain away the new facts we

MEMBER OF THE ASSEMBLY
CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE
FOR WEDNESDAY PM RELEASE
Office: GR 2-5453 - Home: GR 2-7310
October 24, 1962
State Disaster Director Allan K. Jonas, whose partisan political activity is
being investigated for possible violations of the Hatch Act, was accused today of
"gross negligence threatening the survival of many Californians in the event of
disaster."
Assemblyman Harold K. Levering of Los Angeles said he based his charge on pub-
lished reports that blood plasma purchased for civil defense medical stockpiles had
been allowed to lose its potency and then had to be converted to other uses.
"Plasma and politics don't mix," Levering said.
At the same time, it was disclosed that Jonas operates an Inglewood real estate
business on the side.
"This raises a serious question of possible conflict of interest. It also is
additional proof of the charges that the Disaster Office is in the hands of people wh
are not devoting full time to preparing the state and its people against natural
disaster or possible enemy attack.
A dinner brochure put out in connection with President Kennedy's visit to Los
Angeles last Fall carried this advertisement: "Allan K. Jonas and Associates,
Specialists in Industrial and Commercial Real Estate. Main Office: 425 E. Manchester
Ave., Inglewood, Calif., OR 8-4949."
As State Disaster Director, Mr. Jonas receives an annual salary of $17,640.
Expanding on his charge of "gross negligence" regarding the Disaster Office,
Levering said:
"These are the facts: In 1952 the state purchased 38,160 units of plasma for
stockpiles to be used in treating disaster victims. The cost was $1,050,566, of whic
both the state and federal government paid about half. The guaranteed potency of th
plasma expired in 1957.
"And," added Levering, "Governor Brown's appointee, Allan Jonas, apparently did
nothing about the matter until 1961 when he turned over the questionable plasma to a
-MORE-
2-2-2
private laboratory in Los Angeles. The arrangement was for the laboratory to convert
the plasma into serum albumen for treating shock in return for a costly by-product,
gamma globulin, used in treating measles.
"The most incredible aspect of all this is that Governor Brown actually praised
his appointee, Allan Jonas, for making the deal.
"On October 16, 1961, Disaster Director Jonas testified that California would
be caught 'completely naked' if an enemy then chose to launch an attack," said
Levering. "Today, one year later, there has been no noticeable change. California
and its millions of people will still be caught 'completely naked' if the enemy
should choose to strike.
"Chaos, vacillation and indifference continue to characterize the efforts of
the Civil Disaster Office. There is a lack of trained personnel in the highest
levels. Allan Jonas, himself, was nothing more than a defeated candidate for public
office when he was appointed by Governor Brown.
"The sad truth is that the California Disaster Office has been converted by
Governor Brown into a dumping ground for jobless Democratic politicians. In the
Pasadena Office of this department, eight employees have been assigned to working
almost full time for Governor Brown's re-election. They have even been asked to
make personal financial contributions to Brown's campaign.
"Here is still one more incredible example of incompetence and cronyism in
Governor Brown's management of the affairs of the soon-to-be largest state of the
union.
"The blame for this incredible state of affairs lies primarily with Governor
Brown. The Governor knew that Mr. Jonas, a defeated political candidate, had
absolutely no experience in Civil Defense or Civil Disaster when he appointed him.
Brown himself recognized Mr. Jonas' limitations when he later transferred the
responsibility of Civil Defense to the National Guard."

his opponent Richard Nixon, to produce his plans for reforming the state
government.
Typical was this statement: "I challenge Mr. Nixon here and

Governor Brown has shown unusual courage in this campaign by
"challenging" Mr. Nixon. He's always "challenging" Mr. Nixon whenever
Mr. Nixon is not present.
Nevertheless, the challenge is accepted. Whenever the Governor
wants to challenge Mr. Nixon to his face, we are prepared to make such
arrangements. Mr. Nixon is prepared to cancel all his campaign plans
and -- in the American tradition -- engage in a real debate with his
rival.

LOS ANGELES
FOR PMS WEDNESDAY, OCT. 24
Carl lindstrom, a veterans leader and vice chairman of
the Los Angeles County Republican Central Committee, today urged
Gov. Edmund G. Brown to make his position clear on statements against
J. Edgar Hoover made at a Democratic meeting.
Lindstrom referred to a statement to the 13-state Western
Democratic Conference in Seattle by W. H. Ferry of Pasadena in which
he accused FBI Director Hoover of "sententious poppycock" in building
what Ferry called a "false legend" of Communism's strength in the
United States.
"Pollowing this statement, U. S. Attorney General Robert
F. Kennedy said 'communism is a very serious threat and anyone who
underestimates the danger of that threat is doing a disservice to
the country', Lindstrom said.
He said that "while many patriotic Democrats took exception
to Ferry's intemperate statements, we still have not heard from
Gov. Brown, a leader of his party.
"Brown should clear the air by throwing his support to
J. Edgar Hoover and repudiating Ferry's anti-FBI assertions."
Lindstrom also pointed out that Hoover said last July that
the inclination to minimize the internal threat of communist "can
have tragic consequences."
He asked, "does Gov. Brown agree or disagree with J. Edgar
Hoover's warning to the nation not to minimize the domestic communist
threat? This is a serious question, and the people should know how
the governor stands."

Southern California women are wrapping up an "Action Package" full of votes
for Richard M. Nixon, candidate for Governor of California.
Hundreds of women from every Southern California community are engaged in
this all-out volunteer effort on behalf of the former Vice President.
Their project is well-named: "Action Package." It is a forceful, four-
point personal contact program carried out on these fronts:
1. Conduct "Coffee Hours" to meet new people and enroll new volunteers
for the Nixon-for-Governor campaign.
2. Sell campaign jewelry to help pay the cost of telephoning and
other expenses.
3. Enroll youthful "Nixonettes" as colorful additions to political
rallies, parades and other events.
4. Enlist headquarters volunteers for processing all levels of
campaign work.
This ambitious program, now operating smoothly on a vast scale, is under
the direction of Mrs. Valley M. Knudsen of Los Angeles, Vice Chairman for Southern
California of the Nixon-for-Governor Committee. She is also chairman of the
"Action Package" program. Henriette Cowgill is coordinator and Vice Chairman.
Betty Haldeman is Headquarters Volunteer Chairman at 3950 Wilshire Boulevard,
Los Angeles, DUnkirk 5-9161.
"Some idea of the extent of our operation is apparent in our Coffee Hour
set-up," Mrs. Knudsen explained. "There are 18,610 voting precincts in the 11
counties of Southern California and our goal is to have a Coffee Hour in as many
of them as possible."
Young people are showing great enthusiasm for the Nixonettes Mrs. Knudsen
said. Eligible are girls in the 9th grade through high school, college girls,
and young married women. Nixonettes are formed in teams of 10 and the younger
girls are chaperoned by an adult at all times.

"Nixonettes are to campaign events what a brass band is to a parade --

Trademark of the Nixonettes is a white straw sailor hat banded in gold
ribbon, with "Nixon for Governor" lettered in blue. Nixonette medallions, pam
poms, streamers and shoulder bands, and white baskets filled with "Elect Nixon

Third and Fourth Grade children, studying "how to be good citizens" at
Warner Union School at Warner Springs (San Diego County), took their question
directly to one of California's most celebrated native sons -- Richard Nixon.
The former Vice President, impressed by their interest, immediately res-
ponded to their query.
In the heavy mail arriving at Nixon campaign headquarters was a letter
written on typical ruled schoolroom notepaper. It read:
"Dear Mr. Nixon: We are studying how to be good citizens. We
have learned that we should vote for the best man for a job.
"We are going to have our own election for governor. Could you
please take the time to write and tell us some of the things you
have done that would make you the best governor? Sincerely,

Attached were the printed and written names of 22 other children. The
teacher, Mrs. Mary Rhodes, added a note of explanation, thusly:
"Ours is a small school in a rural community. Nearly half of the students
live on Indian reservations and seldom (if ever) have the opportunity to see
politics in action."
Answering that he thought it "gratifying to know that you are preparing
now for your future vital role as well informed Americans," Nixon sent details
of his "Programs for a Greater California" in such fields as education, law en-
forcement, welfare, agriculture, business investment and government efficiency.
Nixon said that is one "precinct" he'll watch with unusual interest.

Republican Truth Squad
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Senator Hotel
October 24, 1962
Sacramento, California
Don Frey
SACRAMENTO In its first press conference today, the Nixon Truth
Squad accused Governor Brown of conducting a "hit and myth" campaign -
"hitting his opponent with myths that have no basis in reality."
The truth squad, which earlier today accused Brown of being a
"political litterbug who has left a disordered trail of half-truths
and innuendoes" released a list of ten major Brown "myths" which the
members plan to refute in dogging the Governor on his campaign travels.
Senator John F. McCarthy, truth squad leader, stated, "Since
Brown has refused a face-to-face confrontation on the issues, we have
been forced to take this means of countering his claims. We challenge
him to refute the facts we place before the Sacramento public when he
arrives later today."
Ten Major Brown Myths and their answers as released by the truth squad:
Myth 1: "There have been no new taxes in three years."
Truth: A "balancing account tax" passed by the 1961 legislature will
cost California employers an additional $160 million this year. This
is a tax on everyone since these costs in many cases will be passed
on to consumers. This is in addition to the 1959 Brown tax program --
the largest tax increase in the history of any state -- which has
brought in nearly a billion dollars in increased revenues.
Myth 2: "The master plan for higher education is a Brown invention."
Truth: The master plan for higher education represents decades of
bi-partisan planning going back to 1899. Principal architects in the
legislature were Assemblymen Dorothy Donahoe, Democrat, now deceased,
and Ernest Geddes, Republican, now retired. Most of the actual work
was done during the Knight Administration.
Myth 3 "The California Water Plan is a Brown achievement."
Truth: When he campaigned for it in 1960, Brown stated:
-more-
- 2 -
"I think it is important that we remember that the water pro-
gram embodied in Proposition One was conceived and initiated in the
Republican Administration of Governor Earl Warren. It was perfected
in a multitude of ways during the ... administration of Governor
Goodwin Knight."
Myth 4: "California is a mecca for industry."
Truth: The Sunday, October 14, issue of the Daily Oklahoman of
Oklahoma City states that a team of Oklahoma businessmen found that
in California "Oklahoma now looks to industrialists as the great
vineyards of California once looked to displaced Oklahoma farmers."
The leader of that team, J. B. Martin, of Miami, was quoted as saying
of Los Angeles: "The tax situation here is just eating up business,
and it wants to get out."
It looks as if California has now become the dustbowl, at
least for industry.
Myth 5: "The toughest and most advanced narcotics laws in the nation
are the result of Brown leadership."
Truth: Brown fought similar laws in the 1959 and 1960 session of the
legislature, until overwhelming public pressure forced him to act in
1961. In 1960, he placed "testing of the juice of fresh grapes" on
the agenda for the special session of the legislature, but turned down
all pleas to do the same with narcotics.
Myth 6: "Nixon will censor school textbooks."
Truth: There has never been a Nixon statement relating to the per-
sonal censorship of school textbooks, and we challenge Brown to pro-
duce one.
Myth 7: "The consumer counsel was necessary to protect consumers from
retail frauds."
Truth: There were already six agencies engaged in consumer pro-
tection at the time Brown created the consumer counsel, including the
-more-
- 3 +
Consumer Frauds Division of the Attorney General's Office. The con-
sumer counsel has not uncovered one case of consumer fraud.
Myth 8: "Nixon will use Sacramento as the road to the White House."
Truth: Brown has used this myth in both of his campaigns for gover-
nor, accusing his opponents of not being interested in California.
Brown, however, repeatedly made "his" availability known after his
election, until one-half vote at the 1960 convention put an end to
this. By inviting the Republican contenders into the state in '64,
Nixon has effectively taken himself out of the race, even as a
"favorite son" candidate.
Myth 9: "Brown has balanced all four of his budgets."
Truth: Brown has balanced his budgets only at the expense of doubling
the authorized debt on the taxpayers of California. His current
budget will be balanced only if the voters approve Proposition 1-A
on the ballot.
Myth 10: "Nixon's budget cuts would curtail welfare."
Truth: Members of Governor Brown's own party have insisted that
removing chiselers could save millions in welfare without reducing
payments to deserving recipients. A case revealed in Los Angeles
this week cited thousands upon thousands of dollars in medical and
dental frauds. Republicans introduced the basic welfare laws of this
state under Governor Merriam in the mid-thirties. Nixon will give
better administration without removing one deserving child, or widow,
or old person from the rolls.

FOR RELEASE SUNDAY
October 28, 1962
"We need Mr. Nixon's leadership and international experience in these perilous
times", declared W. H. "Reg" Regelin, head of the Senior Citizens for Nixon Committee
at Rossmoor Leisure World, the Nation's largest community of retired persons.
"Dick Nixon", Regelin stated, "has earned the support of our older citizens on
the basis of past performance and his program for the future. During his years in
Congress and also during the Eisenhower-Nixon administration he supported increased
payments and extended benefits under the Social Security Program. His plan for the
next four years will enable our older citizens to manage their own affairs and to
have new dignity, happiness and comfort.
"His plan calls for tax reforms, improved medical assistance, better administra-
tion of welfare programs without cutting one cent from assistance to the aged, the
blind or the handicapped, development of more moderately priced housing, and the
mobilization of the talents and wisdom of our senior citizens in a California Legion
of Service.
"As loyal Californians we are interested in good government in California. Mr.
Nixon will kick the second raters and political hacks out of Sacramento and put in a
team of the best executives and technicians in the state regardless of party affilia-
tion.
"We are deeply resentful of the malicious and unscrupulous campaign of falsehoods
and distortions being conducted against Mr. Nixon by such self-appointed spokesmen for
senior citizens as George McLain. I am happy to report that such tactics are boom-
eranging. Thoughtful people are aware of Dick Nixon's record of progress and of his
deep concern for the special needs of our elderly citizens."
Regelin and Sam Dean are co-chairmen of the Nixon Senior Citizens Committee.
Regelin, a retired businessman served in World War I and II, and is Commander of the
Leisure World Chapter of Veterans of World War I. Dean is a retired Marine. He is
a veteran of World War I and II and also served in the Korean conflict.
Regelin stated that the committee is making an appeal to senior citizens through-
out the state in an effort to counteract the smear campaign against Nixon and to
tell the true story of Nixon's interest in senior citizens problems.

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

STATEMENT BY
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
STATE SENATOR JOHN F. McCARTHY
Marin County
Senate Republican Floor Leader
"Richard Nixon last night joined with state, national and
international leaders in urging support of the President in this
time of crisis. He called for a unified front to Khrushchev and
the world.
"Governor Brown, however, in a desperate and contradictory
attempt to capitalize on the Cuban crisis, today said former Vice
President Nixon has no right to address Californians on the Cuban
situation.
"It is appalling that Edmund Brown, now a self appointed
guardian of who has the right to practice freedom of speech and
who does not, should venture forth as censor, critic and savior
of the national unity.
"After hurrying to Washington for a Cuban cram course, our
confused Governor now says the only person who has the right to speak
is the President himself, and occasionally perhaps Pat Brown.
"One day Brown is charging that Mr. Nixon is not sticking to
state issues, and the next day he is in Washington hoping someone
will ask his opinion on how to handle Cuba.
"When he returned to California today to find that Mr. Nixon
had not only presented a seven-point action program for state civil
defense, but gone on statewide television to urge Californians to
support the President, he desperately decided to cancel most of
next week's appearances and advocate silence from everyone.
"His remarks also suggest that he feels no one other than the
President should 'presume' to offer intelligent and constructive views
in time of crisis.
"As a senior member of the California Senate, I know very well
the need for discussion, suggestion and opposing viewpoints at
all times.
"If ever opinbns are needed, it is in times such as these when
we must speak to our enemy as one, but think and reason among
ourselves as individuals."

STATEMENT BY MRS. ROBERT HITT
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Republican National Committeewoman
October 29, 1962
for California
Richard Nixon's statewide television statement on the
Cuban situation last night was both reassuring and informative.
The people of California, I am sure, are grateful to Mr.
Nixon for speaking out from his vast knowledge on international
Communism and international diplomacy as a result of 14 years of
service to this nation. Mr. Nixon purposely kept his non-partisan
talk to Californians last night strictly on the grave issues affecting
California and the nation and made no reference to Brown or the
campaign. Brown, who has attempted to parlay the Cuban crisis to his
political advantage since its beginning, is now using a cheap politi-
cal attack to downgrade Mr. Nixon's television statement of last night
Mr. Brown obviously is attempting to conceal his lack of
knowledge on international affairs. More importantly, he is reverting
to the idea of one party government or dictatorship during a time of
crisis.
I am surprised and shocked and I call upon Mr. Brown to
retract his ill-advised comments immediately. These comments by Mr.
Brown are so much in violation of the spirit of the Constitution that
I suspect the words must be those given the Governor by one of his
press agents.
I just don't understand Brown's statement regarding Mr.
Nixon's appearance last night. A few days ago, he was saying
California's issues were not that important. Now in typical Brown
turn-about fashion, he says we should not comment on the Cuban
situation but stick to California issues.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Richard Nixon today expanded his scheduled 3-hour telethon November 3 to an
unprecedented five hours to reach additional millions of Californians in his campaign
for governor.
It will be the longest telethon of any candidate in California gubernatorial
history.
Two hours, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., have been added to the original time
from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. The "Win with Nixon" telecast originates from Station KTTV
(Channel 11) in Los Angeles.
Plans are also being made to carry a portion of the telethon in San Diego and
San Francisco. The hours will be announced later as air time is cleared.
There will be a statewide radio broadcast on the CBS network simultaneously with
the five hours of telethon.
This will be the former Vice President's last telethon in a series of seven in
the campaign in which he has presented the facts and issues directly to the people.
He will again answer questions telephoned from the public direct to the studio
stage at KTTV.
The battery of telephones will be answered by Nixon-Airs. They will write
down the questions and hand them to celebrity guests to read to the candidate in this
"no-holds-barred" television marathon.

Women who know the terror of Communist oppression also know how to
fight it.
And that is why the Nixon-for-Governor Committee today has a check for
$500 from the California Council of All-American Women.
The Council has a membership of 39 women, most of whom are refugees
from Communism. The $500 check represented a two-year savings campaign.
Much of it was earned by forming a folk-song chorus and singing at various
functions,
"We want to elect Richard Nixon Governor of California because he will
keep freedom's flag flying," said Josephine Staudhammer of Los Angeles,
Council President, in turning over the check to the Nixon Committee.

"The largest audience in Western political history will watch a five-hour state-
wide telethon which will climax on Saturday the final week of the Richard Nixon victor
drive," it was predicted today by Herbert G. Klein, Nixon press secretary.
During this week, the fast-paced Nixon campaign will sweep into all of the major
metropolitan areas of the state and include many of the smaller cities.
"During this week Mr. Nixon will alternate his days between north and south to
take his "Program for Progress" to the maximum number of Californians," Klein said.
Tuesday he speaks before the Central Los Angeles Baptist Ministers Alliance at
noon. At 3:30 P.M. he appears at an Ontario (San Bernardino County) Win-With-Nixon
Rally, and at 8 P.M. before an East Los Angeles Junior College Win-With-Nixon assembly
Wednesday morning he motors to the San Fernando Valley for a "drop-by" at the
North Hollywood Nixon-for-Governor Headquarters, 4450 Lankershim, before flying to
Lodi (San Joaquin County) for another rally at 3:30 P.M. Final event of the day
is a major Win-With-Nixon rally in Santa Rosa (Sonoma County) at 7:30 P.M.
The Mother Lode country welcomes him Thursday with a community rally in Rose-
ville (Placer County). He then flies to the Southland again for a major campaign
speech at 8 P.M. in Cerritos College, Norwalk (Los Angeles County).
Friday he flies north again for a morning rally at Mt. View (Santa Clara County)
in the Sears shopping center. Shuttling back to the Southland again, he goes to
Chula Vista (San Diego County) for a late afternoon and evening rally.
Saturday marks the last of seven telethons in his Final Election campaign.
Originally scheduled as a three-hour, no-holds-barred telecast from 10 P.M. to
1 A.M. over Station KTTV (Channel 11), the telethon has been expanded to include an
additional two hours from 6:30 P.M. to 8:30 P.M.
He will answer questions telephoned direct from the public on State issues and
his program for a greater California. Numerous celebrities will read the questions
called in to a bank of telephones "on stage."

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Efforts of Richard Nixon to secure equal opportunity for the American
Indian were cited today by the National Association for the Advancement
of the American Indian, Inc., in endorsing him for Governor of California.
The endorsement was announced by William E. Rogers, NAAAI executive
secretary. He said there are approximately 5000 American Indians remaining
on reservations in California.
"It is mandatory for us to select a governor who is conscious of the
plight of the reservation Indian and who will cooperate to secure him equal
opportunity and the dignity due every citizen," Rogers declared. "That is
why we believe Mr. Nixon should be governor."
Nixon, he added, has a long public record of sympathetic consideration
toward the association's aim to obtain full citizenship privileges for the
American Indian. Nixon's history of fair play for all minority groups was
also cited in the endorsement.

Statement by H. R. Haldeman
October 29, 1962
This latest deliberate distortion of simple facts is another part of the pattern
of lies, innuendoes and out-right smears being used in desperation by the Brown
campaign organization.
The simple truth ignored by the Democrats is this: The Nixon campaign for
Governor is not costing $1,440,000 or anything near it. That figure was mentioned
many, many months ago as a campaign budget goal for fund-raising purposes.
We are spending only a fraction of that, as the voters will see when we file
our statement of campaign expenses with the Secretary of State. The statements will
show that Mr. Brown's spending is double that of our campaign.
The swcrn statements on primary campaign expenditures revealed that the Brown
campaign out-spent us then, even when Mr. Brown had no real opposition.
Our only campaign concern is the Brown slush fund of money from out-of-state.
The statements of Brown aides to the press say they are spending $1,700,000 and
$2,000,000. This is even more than they, in their preposterous exaggeration,
charge us with.
Jesse Unruh is quoted as saying: "We've got the money for once, and we'll pro-
bably spend 25% of it on election day."
The Democrats--again according to published press reports--are using paid workers
to get out their vote, in contrast to our volunteers. They are offering the highest
price for votes in California history.
Mr. Brown has contracted for $287,000 in spot television commercials--out-spend-
ing us here by about three-to-one. He is committed to spending $141,000 in Los
Angeles alone, and reports in the trade indicate that in a last minute fund blitz
they may seek to sell the faltering Brown candidacy with $50,000 more in 20-sedond
spots.
This latest deliberate distortion of simple facts appears to be part of the
Brown smear-a-day campaign.

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

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

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

FOR AM RELEASE
Tuesday, October 30, 1962
Six major charges, including one of negligence in civil defense, were levelled
against the Brown Administration last night during a telecast sponsoredby the
Democrats for Nixon Committee headed by Z. Wayne Griffin and Merritt Ruddock.
The program, called "The Making of the Governor" and telecast in Los Angeles
(KTTV), San Francisco - Oakland (KTVU) and San Diego (KFMB-TV), was described
by Griffin and Ruddock as "documented proof that Mr. Brown is allowing himself to be
manipulated by a New York pollster to cover-up for deficiencies in his administration."
During the half-hour documentary, Lloyd Nolan and Victor Jory revealed for the
first time that Brown's strategy as Governor and as a campaigner has been directed
by a secret report compiled by Lou Harris, Madison Avenue public relations pollster.
The Harris image of Brown included losing weight and seeking help from
President Kennedy and his Cabinet. The result has bean a "new Brown" image.
During the program, the secret Harris Report was widely quoted
In the Democratic-sponsored telecast, Nolan and Jory also charged that:
1. Allan Jonas, Brown appointee to the $17, 640 a year job as state disaster
director, has been guilty of "gross negligence in the handling of blood plasma."
2. That Governor Edmund G. Brown's 1958 campaign had benefited from the
receipt of a $50,000 loan from a defense_contractor.

3. That Governor Brown and his administration allowed millions of dollars in
losses to be suffered by California investors by failing to move quickly to investigate
the financial manipulations of trust deed ten percenters.
4. That Governor Brown took a fishing trip in 1961 on a yacht owned by an
oil company doing business with the state of California, a trip about which Governor
Brown has indignantly refused to answer questions.
5. That Governor Brown in his television commercials is using "a fraudulent,
untruthful, pictorial representation, the kind of phony TV commercial which only a few
years ago brought the wrath of Congress down on Madison Avenue's soap salesmen."
######
The program quoted Jonas as testifying a year ago that if an enemy chose to
launch an attack the State of California would be caught "completely naked."
The program claimed that there has been no noticeable change for the better
in the operations of the Civil Disaster office.
The program also charged the California Disaster Office "with gross negligence
in the matter of blood plasma". It cited published reports indicating that blood plasma
purchased for civil defense medical stockpiles was allowed to lose its potency and then
had to be converted to other uses.
"In 1952, the state purchased some 38,000 units of plasma for stockpiles to be
used in treating disaster victims. The cost was over one million dollars of which both
the state and federal government paid about half.
"The guaranteed potency of the plasma expired in 1957. Allan Jonas, Governor
Brown's appointee as State Disaster Director, did nothing about it until 1961 when he
turned over the questionable plasma to a private laboratory in Los Angeles. The deal
was for the laboratory to convert the plasma into serum albumen for treating shock - -

in return for a costly by-product, gamma globulin, used in treating measles,
"The most incredible aspect of all this is that Governor Brown actually praised
his appointee, Allan Jonas. "
The telecast said that these crucial questions had been raised by the Allan
Jonas deal;
"If in 1952 some 38, 000 units of blood plasma were required for Civil Defense,
then in view of the state's enormous increase in population, what are California's
stockpile requirements now - ten years later? Are those requirements being
fulfilled? "
The program noted that in answer to a recent questionnaire in the Long Beach
Press-Telegram and Independent, Governor Brown had said he had never "received
or solicited funds from government contractors." He also opposed loans by government
contractors to public officials or members of their families.
A photostatic reproduction of a statement of Receipts and Expenditures filed by
Brown's 1958 campaign committee was displayed in the program and revealed that Nat
R. Dumont, a major defense contractor, had loaned $55,000 to help elect Brown
Governor in 1958. Brown at that time was California Attorney General.
"We are waiting to hear from Mr. Brown his explanation of how the $55, 000
loan from a defense contractor happened to be made in his behalf in 1958. If the
Governor fails to provide an explanation, we assume that the press of California, in-
cluding the Long Beach Independent Press Telegram, will play its traditional role --
as Pat Brown pointed out -- of 'protecting the public interest at all levels of government."
the program said.

The program noted that on March 30, 1961, Attorney General Mosk reported
that the financial manipulations of the trust deed ten percenters may have cost some
20,000 California investors as much as $17, 500, 000. The program then stated the
losses which Mr. Mosk mentioned could easily "have bean prevented if the State of
California through the Corporations Commissioner appointed by the Governor and the
Attorney General had moved early.' "
"In January, 1958 the United States Securities and Exchange Commission filed its
first suit against the Los Angeles Trust Deed and Mortgage Exchange. Yet, this
company -- for some reason -- was permitted to continue to solicit funds from
investors.
"It was not until December 10, 1959, that Governor' Brown's Commissioner
of Corporations issued an order prohibiting Los Angeles Trust Deed and Mortgage Ex-
change from further sale of certain trust deed notes to the public.
"For many of the 20,000 California investors it was too late. Their investments
in enterprises which they considered safe -- went down the drain.
"The title to thousands of homes of small home owners was thrown into question
by these 10% manipulators.
"We are entitled to ask why Governor Brown's Administration did not move
earlier to protect 20,000 California investors.
"1. Crimmins, Kent, Bradley and Burns, the law firm of Roger Kent who was
Democratic State Vice Chairman at the time, was the attorney for Western Certificate
Funds, Inc., one of the trust deed companies adjudged bankrupt April 19, 1961.
"2. Fred Zweiback, who was executive secretary to Lieutenant Governor
Anderson of California from January 1959 to June 1960, resigned and became Vice

President of Western Trust Deed Corporation and Western Certificate Funds, Inc.
3. Marvin L. Holen was the attorney for Los Angeles Trust Deed and Mortgage
Exchange. In 1958 and 1959 Mr. Holen was named as counsel for State Legislative
Committees by Jesse Unruh, now Democratic Speaker of the Assembly."
According to the broadcast, the yacht on which Governor Brown took a fishing
trip last year was owned by an oil company doing business with the state of California,
but when Governor Brown was asked about this trip he angrily refused to reply,
stating "I don't have to answer that. "
The program charged that one of Brown's television spot announcements on
-
water shows him in front of Mulholland spillway, taking credit for a non-partisan water
project.
"The Mulholland spillway was dedicated in 1913 when Hiram Johnson was Governor
of California and Pat Brown was in knickers just starting school.
"Thus we are presented with probably the biggest hoax of the 1962 California
campaign. A TV forgery bought and paid for by the Brown for Governor Committee,"
the program said.
The Harris Report is a confidential document advising Governor Brown on his
strategy during his gubernatorial campaign. It also advised him on how to change his
"image". It was prepared secretly by the Public Opinion Pollster Lou Harris of N.Y.
and paid for by the Brown forces.
The Harris Report contained a long discussion entitled "Profiles of Nixon and
Brown." It had this to say:
"The positives in the Nixon profile are that he has had experience as Vice
President, a mark that having served in that high post, he is certainly qualified to
- More -

- 6 -
serve as Governor.. There are better than four times as many people who are positive
about Nixon on the count of experience than are negative.
"Observation: Obviously it would be a serious mistake for the Democrats to
attack Nixon on the element of experience. This is his strongest asset. "
The Harris Report, according to the broadcast, had dealt with Governor Brown
and his record on narcotics enforcement. It stated that the Gov ernor had made "no
progress" in convincing the electorate that he had been forceful in this area.
The telecast then noted that as a result of the Harris Report: "Governor Brown
-
flew off to Washington in the middle of the campaign to attend a so-called White House
--
conference on narcotics -- a conference which, by the way, solved nothing, but which
obviously was supposed to help Brown's new image as a foe of the dope peddlers."
The program also quoted the Lou Harris report as stating: "We would
recommend in the strongest possible terms that the President be urged to come into
California as often and as late as his schedule will permit to campaign for Pat Brown."

FOR FLAT AM RELEASE
November 1, 1962
The co-chairmen of the Democrats for Nixon today challenged Governor Edmund
G. Brown to say whether he denies any statement in the pamphlet "Pat Brown and the
CDC!"
In a joint statement, Z. Wayne Griffin and Merritt K. Ruddock said:
Every statement in this pamphlet is documented. While there has been much
smoke regarding a picture in the brochure, no one, including the Governor, has denied
the accuracy of the statements.
Does the Covernor deny that on March 3, 1961 he made these statements:
1. "I want this organization (CDC) to flourish and grow."
2. "I am a champion of the CDC."
3. "I want to help it (the CDC) and I want to protect it."
4. "The CDC is my strong right arm."
Does the Governor deny that the CDC 1961 policy statement called for: the
"eventual admission of Communist China to the United Nations?"
Does he deny the statements of the 1960 CDC conference which called for the
abolishment of the House Unamerican Activities committee, the suspension of nuclear
weapons tests and the abolishment of state and federal non-disloyalty oaths.
The pamphlet also says:
"Brown now says he doesn't agree with five of the stands taken by the CDC,
but he did nothing when the resolutions were adopted; he did not oppose them at the
time; he did not repudiate them until now when he is running for re-election."

2-2-2
We challenge the Governor to dispute a word in the pamphlet. It is an accurate
appraisal of what he has said. A request for a restraining order against this pam-
phlet is nothing less than a desperate attempt to cover up the Governor's association
with the CDC. If not why does he seek to suppress a document which simply quotes
him and the California Democratic Council.
We would ask again, does he now say that the California Democratic Council,
with its dangerous theories, is not his strong right arm? Is he for or against it
and its policies? Has the Governor vacillated again.

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

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

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

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

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

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

FOR RELEASE
Thursday, November 1, 1962
Democrats for Nixon today challenged Governor Brown to name those
Democratic candidates for whom he said he was not campaigning.
"This is a remarkable statement," said Z. Wayne Griffin of Los Angeles,
chairman of the Democrats for Nixon Committee. "It deserves amplification."
Brown made the statement recently in reply to a question at a Los
Angeles luncheon. The Governor said: "It troubles me that there is so much
partisanship in the world today. I used to be a Republican and I have voted
for Republicans. I'm not campaigning for all Democrats. But don't ask me who
they are. I won't tell you."
Said Mr. Griffin: "I am also troubled about the amount of partisanship
exhibited today. That is why an increasing number of Democrats such as myself
have decided to vote for the best man for Governor, Richard M. Nixon.
"However, as the leader of his party in California, Governor Brown has
an obligation to announce the names of those Democratic candidates for whom he
will not campaign and why he has decided not to do SO.
"The record shows that Governor Brown is supporting the candidacies of
John A. O'Connell and Phillip Burton, both of San Francisco. These men are
leftwing extremists. They both participated in the events which led to the
notorious San Francisco riots of 1960. Yet Governor Brown has announced he is
supporting them 'unequivocally.'
"These questions, therefore, must be asked: Is Governor Brown giving
similar unequivocal support to the conservative candidates of his party? Does
he intend to campaign for them?"

CODE OF FAIR CAMPAIGN PRACTICES
There are basic principles of decency, honesty and fair play which every
candidate for public office in the United States has a moral obligation
to observe and uphold, in order that, after vigorously contested but
fairly conducted campaigns, our citizens may exercise their constitutional
right to a free and untrammeled choice and the will of the people may be
fully and clearly expressed on the issues before the Country.
THEREFORE:
I SHALL CONDUCT my campaign in the best American tradition, discussing the
issues as I see them, presenting my record and policies with sincerity
and frankness, and criticizing without fear or favor the record and policies
of my opponent and his party which merit such criticism.
I SHALL DEFEND AND UPHOLD the right of every qualified American voter to
full and equal participation in the electoral process.
I SHALL CONDEMN the use of personal vilification, character defamation
whispering campaigns, libel, slander, or scurrilous attacks on any candi-
date or his personal or family life.
I SHALL CONDEMN the use of campaign material of any sort which misrepre-
sents, distorts, or otherwise falsifies the facts regarding any candidate,
as well as the use of malicious or unfounded accusations against any
candidate which aim at creating or exploiting doubts, without justification,
as to his loyalty and patriotism.
I SHALL CONDEMN any appeal to prejudice based on race, creed, or national
origin.
I SHALL CONDEMN any dishonest or unethical practice which tends to corrupt
or undermine our American system of free elections or which hampers or
prevents the full and free expression of the will of the voters.
I SHALL IMMEDIATELY AND PUBLICLY REPUDIATE support deriving from any
individual or group which resorts, on behalf of my candidacy or in
opposition to that of my opponent, to the methods and tactics which I
condemn.
I, the undersigned, candidate for election to public office in the United
States of America, hereby endorse, subscribe to, and solemnly pledge myself
to conduct my campaigns in accordance with the above principles and
practices, so help me God.

DATE
Signature
COMPLAINT OF VIOLATIONS OF CODE OF FAIR CAMPAIGN
PRACTICES
As campaign manager for Richard Nixon. I vigorously protest the campaign
practices of Edmund Brown and his publicists, which are violations of the
Code of Fair Campaign Practices which Mr. Brown voluntarily signed. The
instances of deliberate falsehood and distortion we herewith present for
your attention are not isolated cases of "honest mistake". Specifically,
the Code of Fair Campaign Practices has been violated by Mr. Brown, as
follows:
(1) A violation of the third, sixth and seventh principles:
Serious distortions of fact are contained in a current radio
commercial for Mr. Brown. A copy of the text is attached (Exhibit
"A") and should be considered in connection with this complaint.
Specifically the text falsely implies that both publications
mentioned are attributable to the Nixon campaign.
The pamphlet "California Dynasty of Communism" by Karl Prussi n,
has no connection with the Nixon campaign and has been condemned
and repudiated by Mr. Nixon. Any innuendo to the contrary is false.
The pictures contained in the Anti-CDC pamphlet issued by our
campaign are not "faked". They are pictures of Mr. Brown that
are completely unretouched and unaltered. It is flagrantly improper
to call these pictures "forgery", as the commercial does.
The pamphlet contains pictures of Mr. Brown used illustratively to
show his long-time applause of the policies of the C.D.C. As an
illustration it is not false, fake, unreal, a forgery or deliberately
doctored. The radio commercial should be severely censured as a
clear violation of the principles of your Code.
(2) A violation of the fourth principle:
On October 12, 1962, in Salinas over KSBW-TV (and on subsequent
occasions, we believe) Edmund Brown himself narrated a film showing
the "accomplishments of his admiristration." Among the false claims
by Mr. Brown were:
(a) That a senior citizens' building shown and said to be in
Seaside (it was actually in Pacific Grove) was attributable to
Brown's efforts. According to State Senator Fred Farr (D-Carmel),
Brown's administration had nothing whatsoever to do with it.
(b) That the Monterey Research Park was a result of his adminis-
tration's efforts. This statement is absolutely false. This pro-
ject is entirely a result of local cooperation between The City of
Monterey and Del Monte Properties Company. Brown's administration
had nothing whatsoever to do with it.
(3) A violation of the fourth, sixth and seventh principles:
One "John J. Keller" signed a letter dated September 25, 1962, from
a purported "Republican Committee to Re-elect Governor Brown", 140
Montgomery Street, San Francisco 4, California. Mr. Keller was a
registered Democrat and voted as such in the primary election in
June of 1962.
(4) A violation of the fourth, fifth and seventh principles:
The Keller letter was sent to citizens of Polish ancestry. It en-
closed a smear sheet headed, "Nixon has supported discriminatory
immigration laws." It purports to cite Mr. Nixon's legislative
record, but it does so falsely, in a manner calculated to appeal
to prejudice based on national origin. This sheet's description
of the effect of a recommittal to committee and the effect of over-
ride of a Truman veto on immigrants is grossly misleading and untrue.
(MORE)
(5) A violation of the fourth principle
In a television commercial being run throughout the state, Mr. Brown
is depicted standing in front of the Mulholland Dam Spillway while
the cral text contends that this and other structures were the
result of Mr. Brown's efforts. The statement given, and the total
implication of the commercial, are false. The structure involved
was built when Mr. Brown was eight years old.
(6) A violation of the fourth and seventh principles:
Edmund Brown, his Vice-Chairman George McLain, and his publicists
have repeatedly published false and distorted material alleging
that Mr. Mixon advocates a reduction of pensions and other benefits
for the elderly. Attached as Exhibit "B" are samples of this
material. Mr. Nixon has advocated removing the unqualified and in -
eligible from state welfare rolls. He has never made any statements
to support the misrepresentations of Mr. McLain, Mr. Brown and their
people concerning this subject.
Similar, more detailed statements of this kind were made by Mr.
McLain at Fresno on Saturday, October 27 before an audience. In
substance he said that, if elected, Mr. Nixon would take from the
elderly "all your benefits". Mr. McLain then took a collection of
$1,100 from the pensioners present, for Mr. Brown's benefit.
Mr. Brown made such statements before the Baptist Ministers' Alliance
in Los Angeles, where he also grossly misrepresented Mr. Nixon's
position regarding fair employment practices.
(7) A violation of the fourth principle:
Mr. Brown, in recorded television commercials, has falsely inferred
by the use of background photographs and spoken text that he and
his administration are responsible for the establishment of free
education in the State of California. This false contention would
be laughable if it were not seriously repeatedly being made on a
state-wide basis at present.
(8) A violation of the third, fourth and seventh principles:
While Mr. Brown has not personally had the courage to charge Mr.
Nixon with wrong-doing in this connection, he has encouraged (and
failed to repudiate) the circulation of defamatory and libelous
copy alleging that Mr. Nixon or his family acted improperly in
connection with his family's financial misfortune in 1956.
Copies of some of this material are attached hereto as Exhibit "C".
This is precisely the kind of political conduct condemmed by Mr. Brown
himself when he signed The Code of Fair Campaign Practices.
The innuendo that, as Vice President, Mr. Nixon could have, or did,
favor an airline or contractor is absolutely false. It is unsupported
by any evidence because it is untrue. Mr. Brown's publicists and
workers do not offer any evidence; there is none to give because
the contemptible slur is a lie.
When given an opportunity to make the charge and prove it, on state-
wide television, Mr. Brown reddened and denied that he made the charge.
Yet he has violated the Code by failing to clearly repudiate "the use
of personal vilification, character defamation, whispering campaigns,
libel, slander or scurrilous attacks on (the) candidate or his
personal or family life" by Brown's political associates.
(9) A violation of the seventh principle:
Mr. Nixon has vigorously repudiated a pamphlet by Karl Prussion
entitled "California Dynasty of Communism". Yet Democratic officials
(MORE)
principally Mr. Brown and Eugene Wyman, Democratic State Chairman,
have persistently attacked this book while criticizing other pam-
phlets which are actually campaign material of the Nixon organi-
zation and which are responsibly critical of Mr. Brown's position
on issues. This is a devious, brazen and irresponsible effort
to associate Mr. Nixon with the Prussion pamphlet for which no
one can or will claim he has a bit of responsibility.
Of some interest is the fact that Karl Prussion, the pamphlet's
author, stated in a press conference he had received no orders
from Republican organizations, but that the California Democratic
Council had ordered 1,000 copies.
(10) A violation of the fourth principle:
Upon his return to the State last weekend, Mr. Brown issued a state-
ment to the press. In one paragraph he complained that while his
back was turned "tens of thousands" of pieces of campaign literature
were mailed "by my opposition" accusing Brown of being soft on
Communism.
(The only such accusation of this kind being made is found in the
Prussion Book, "California Dynasty of Communism", which has no
connection with the Nixon campaign whatsoever.)
In the next breath, Mr. Brown criticized Mr. Nixon, his opponent,
for making a statement on Cuba without the permission of the Presi-
dent.
The innuendo is that the Nixon campaign issued the Prussion book.
It is clever but a demonstrably false innuendo. It deserves
condemnation under The Code of Fair Practice.
(11) A violation of the fourth principle:
Eugene Wyman, State Chairman of the Democratic Central Committee,
falsely charged on KTTV-TV Los Angeles that Mr. Nixon had once
labeled Harry Truman "a traitor". Mr. Wyman was speaking on behalf
of Mr. Brown's candidacy. Mr. Brown has failed to correct or
repudiate this misrepresentation.
(12) A violation of the first, third and fourth principles:
Mr. Brown has stated repeatedly, as have his campaign associates,
that Mr. Nixon has accused him of being "soft on communism". This
is a lie. Mr. Nixon has stated clearly, emphatically and repeatedly
that he has no quarrel with Brown's loyalty or his opposition to
Communism. This difference is over programs to combat communism
and their appraisal of the severity of the communist menace. Mr.
Brown's misrepresentation of Mr. Nixon's position is a flagrant
violation of Paragraphs 1, 3 and 4 of the solemn pledge which Brown
signed.
We respectfully submit that your Code, voluntarily adopted by Mr. Brown,
should be adhered to by all candidates. Only by your censure of these
flagrant violations by Mr. Brown and his publicists will the Code have the
meaning and value it deserves.

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

MAYORS ENDORSE NIXON
Mayor Talmage V. Burke, of Alhambra, announcing the endorse-
ment of 27 mayors in Los Angeles County for Richard Nixon, today
complained of a "lack of consistent support on civil defense from
the Brown administration.
Mayor Burke, Chairman of the Mayors' Committee of Los Angeles
endorsing Richard Nixon for Governor, declared:
"It was the thought of the mayors that as non-partison office
holders, we still had the responsibility of letting our views be
known to the public.
"We are convinced that Mr. Nixon is better qualified by exper-
ience and proven ability to serve the best interests of our state
government."
Mayor Burke said it was his own view that the recent Cuban
crisis revealed the "woeful lack of leadership in civil defense from
Sacramento. This has compelled me to speak out.
"The plain fact of the matter is there has been no civil defense
at all," Mayor Burke said. "Instead of leadership from the state,
we have had nothing but confusion and delays.
"This became fearfully plain last week when people tried to
find shelters and civil defense instruction--and discovered there
was none.
"Because of this lack of leadership on civil defense and on so
many other California problems, my fellow mayors and myself look

V. John Krehbiel, immediate past Chairman of the Republican State Control Com-
mittee, urged all residents in Los Angeles County to unite behind Proposition 23
to cure what he labeled "the worst modern example of 'taxation without represen-
tation. 111
Six million people in Los Angeles County are now represented by one State
Senator while one million people residing in rural counties have 15 Senators,"
Krehbiel emphacized,
Proposition No. 23 provides for more adequate representation for the people
of urban areas by increasing the membership of the State Senate from 40 to 50,

ties. It protects the rural area population by a 6-senator limit to any one
county and a 3-county limit to any one district.
"Great injustice to the people of cur county has resulted from this rurally
dominated Senate," Krehbiel claimed, and he cited the fact that "while Los Angeles
gets $10.50 per car from State Highway Funds, a rural area gets as much as $804.00
per car."
"Proposition 23 provides a sensible, fair way to correct the geographical
complexion of our State Senate -- an action we had best take ourselves before
the Courts decide to do it for us," Krehbiel concluded.

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

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

Office:
To correct any false impressions created by
articles in Sunday newspapers, the undersigned wish to
advise you that out of all funds under the direction of
URFC, including all the proceeds thus far collected by
the Nixon and Goldwater dinners, each Republican candi-
date for the assembly, state senate, board of equiliza-
tion and the six constitutional officers, including Nixon,
has received allocations in cash or credit in exact
proportion to each participant's percentage as set forth
in the approved URFC budget. The distributions to all
such candidates were made at the same times except that
the first distribution to Nixon was made later than the
first distribution to the other candidates. The
October 26 distribution to assembly candidates a nd others
running for state offices have temporarily made the dis-
tributions to them greater in proportion to their URFC
budgets than the distributions to congressional candidates.
Every effort is being made to increase the contributions
to URFC general funds out of which it is hoped to make
further distributions to congressional candidates to bring
their distributions up to the same proportion of their
budgets as has already been done for candidates for the
assembly and other state offices.

Statement by HERBERT G. KLEIN
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Press Secretary to RICHARD NIXON
November 3, 1962
There isn't a shread of truth in the Wyman statement. This
phony poll story is the latest and most cynical chapter in this
last minute series of deliberate lies and smears by the Brown
hatchetmen. Frankly, I think that the public resents this Brown
assumption that there is a sucker born every moment.
The fact is that we have taken no formal poll. We have had
volunteers make telephone calls to Democrats. Statewide results
of this massive survey still are being compiled. Our report on
120,000 calls to Democrats in Southern California shows that
Richard Nixon will win a minimum of 23 percent of the Democratic
vote. With this vote, Richard Nixon will win an overwhelming
victory Tuesday.
In counties such as Imperial, the survey shows Nixon carry-
ing as much as 32 percent of the Democratic vote.
The only formal poll Mr. Nixon places any faith in takes
place on election day.
The other strong indicator of a Nixon victory is the size of
the crowds he has been drawing. This was the tipoff in 1948 of a
Truman victory and it is the tipoff this year of a sizeable Nixon
victory.
In every city where both candidates have appeared and there is
valid ground for comparison, Nixon crowds have been at least three
times larger than those of Governor Brown. Reporters can document
this.
There is no question but that the ground swell of enthusiasm
in the grass roots indicates that the Nixon voters will turn out in
record numbers. Mr. Brown apparently has not been able to generate
this type of enthusiasm and thus has turned even to hiring precinct
workers in a desperate attempt to get out a vote.

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

William H. Ware, Democratic candidate for Secretary of State who got 400,000 votes
in the primary election, today announced his support of Richard M. Nixon for governor.
Ware said, "I am pleased to support Richard Nixon as the man I feel can put the
proper controls on internal communism in California, discredit their left-wing dupes,
and break the hold of the California Democratic Council (CDC) on the Democratic Party
in California."
Ware, who opposed Don Rose in the Democratic Primary for Secretary of State,
said "we must return California politics to those candidates selected by a bona-fide
draft of the people rather than those selected by a boss-ridden machine.
"I am one who knows," Ware said. "Any candidate who does not have the blessing
of the CDC is marked to receive the cold shoulder from the Democratic machine and
almost always is beaten."
"By its deeds, the CDC has become an organization that is not good for the
Democratic Party -- an organization whose principles and pronouncements must be re-
jected. This can only be done by massive repudiation at the polls," Ware said.
He said, "candidates endorsed by the CDC are obligated to follow the council's
policies after election.
"For Governor Brown, Controller Alan Cranston, Attorney General Mosk and State
Senator Richard Richards to repudiate some of the positions of the CDC without rejec-
ting its support and endorsement is not good enough.
"We must stop the CDC right now by rejecting it completely. This is why I urge
all responsible Democrats to vote for Richard Nixon for governor," Ware said.

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

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

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

Richard Nixon unexpectedly announced last night he was cancelling
his scheduled appearances today, the final day before election, to
prepare for a special telecast in which he will "take off the gloves
and fight back against the personal attacks which have been made by
Brown and his aides."
The special program will originate in Los Angeles (KTTV Channel

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