MEMORANDUM

THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
November 3, 1969
TO:
Harry Dent
FROM:
Tom Lia
Fm
SUBJECT:
Wallace
My Wallace contact, Columnist Grover Hall, advises that he was
called by Wallace on the eve of his departure for Southeast Asia.
Hall reports that Wallace had been briefed "in some depth" on
the problems of the area, and Grover felt he was showing some
real sophistication concerning that part of the world. (He im-
pressed Grover with the proper usage of oriental names.)
Wallace's clear intention to pursue the Presidency came through
again, and he once more expressed his dislike for running for
Governor, but felt that it was necessary to do so as a mechanical
means of achieving his Presidential aims.
Wallace knows that Hall talks to me. These reports are essentially
just what they want to plant with us, but I will continue to pass them
along unless you feel it is a needless exercise.

SUBJECT:
Veterans Day
For your information, I am attaching a copy of a memo which
Don Johnson sent earlier this month to Clark Mollenhoff. You
will recall that I suggested in a memo of October 10 that an
energetic Veterans Day program might help offset the mora-
torium types. Don is a natural to promote such a thing, at
least from within the Government.

FROM:
Tom Lias
15m
SUBJECT:
November 11 observance.
By way of possibly counter-acting some of the well organized dove
activities such as the October 15 program, do you see any merit
in organizing, through Party and other interested groups (Veterans,
etc.), a real patriotic, flag displaying, punch for November 11?
Every available Administration and Party speaker should be dis-
patched to the boondocks to carry the same general theme -- in
harmony with what the President will say. It seems to me if such
a program could get Party and White House blessing, we could
maybe get "Middle America" to really "show it like it is".
Seems to me the approach should be subtle and, outwardly at least,
bi-partisan or perhaps non-partisan. We should consider utilizing
such groups as the Legion and all Veteran organizations, the Boy
Scouts, lots of womens groups -- Police Wives, DAR, Federated
Women, and Gold Star Mothers.
There could be lots of drama if it were done right - a minute of
silence at 11 a.m., etc -- then if the President could make a really
powerful speech in connection with some appropriate wreath laying
or other ceremony, maybe we could strike a real blow for America
and the Republican Party.
As a follow up, consideration might be given to Congressman Jim
Collins' flag recognition program wherein he has his people go around
Dallas on July 4th, etc. and get the addresses of homes displaying
American flags and then sends them a letter saying in effect -- "You
are a good American." The Campaign Committee might consider
getting all its members to try this program on November 11. (Again,
most of the letters would be going to "Middle America").

These are just some quick thoughts but it seems to me that the
average American might respond well to such a program.

Alan Peterson
Can we get the angel to stop any further salary payments to Alan
Peterson until that list of Neighbors for Nixon names has been
delivered? I think the only way to deal with Peterson is through
his pocketbook.

Trm
You might be interested to know that Grover Hall called yesterday
and reported that he had had a long telephone conversation on
Sunday with George Wallace, and that this conversation reconfirmed,
in Hall's mind, that Wallace is indeed going to run for Governor.
He pointed out that Wallace kept coming back to the school business
in the South and making the point that some children are being bussed
100 miles. Grover says what Wallace is talking about is 50 miles
each way, but that nonetheless Wallace realizes the emotional impact
of this issue and is going to run with it. Hall further thinks that
Brewer is probably going to go all the way in the fight over the
nomination with Wallace. Hall noted that it was a paradox that
Nixon has to take extreme criticism from the likes of both George
Wallace on one side and the NAACP on the other side, while Justice
Department lawyers are engaging in a minor mutiny.
