MEMORANDUM FOR CONGRESSMAN MORTON
We have been told over here that Howard
Hughes is getting ready to establish a
bigger foundation than the Ford Foundation
for assisting the Left Wing in this country.
He is supposed to have a key advisor who
is responsible for this. If we can figure
any angles for stopping this, we had better
start figuring.
Harry S. Dent

Jim Allison
Roger Milliken
Colonel Charles West, with this note: Are we
absolutely sure about this? If so, I want to
mention it to the President.

Subject: Father McManus
Dick Garbett has talked to Father
McManus at length and presently is dis-
cussing with the Father and Tom Melady
plans to attract more Catholic vote. We
think highly of him.
About a month ago, the Father made
a suggestion to the Administration regard-
ing the honoring of four new Cardinals.
We sent this suggestion to the White House
under a cover letter from the Chairman.
John Sears delivered our letter and Father
McManus' suggestion up the chain of command
and reported to us that no action was taken
on the suggestions and no reply given the
Chairman's letter. John can fill you in
on details.

MEMORANDUM FOR JIM ALLISON

FROM: HARRY DENT
I had a visit today with the Reverend Martin
McManus, a Catholic priest who has 9 earned
college degrees, three of them being doctorate
degrees. He is an old friend of the President
and once ran for Congress himself.
Attached is full information on him. He
wants to find some way to help us privately
to win Catholic votes for the President. He
is presently a visiting professor at Trinity
College and stays at St. Matthews Cathedral,
1725 Rhode Island Avenue, N. W. His telephone
number is 347-3215.
I suggest you talk with this gentleman before
we go to Key Biscayne this weekend so you and
I can discuss him there.
He says he knows Peter Flanigan, and I am
sending Peter a copy of this so he can let
me know if there is anything good or bad we
should know. Also, Don Jackson, a close
friend of the President and a new member of
the ICC, sent Father McManus to me with a very
high recommendation.
