MEMORANDUM FOR:
H.R. HALDEMAN
FROM:
L. HIGBY
Governor Laxalt indicated to you in your conversation
yesterday that there is a need for more Howard Hughes
help.
In regard to this should you call John Mitchell or someone
else and put into effect the suggestion that Governor Laxalt
indicated of throwing a bit of a scare into the Las Vegas
gambling interests due to the pending election of Cannon,
and also have somebody talk to Bob Mayhew about getting
behind the campaign in stronger fashion.

SUBJECT:
New Jersey Fund Dinner
Following your call from the press concerning the allegation
that social invitations to the White House were being peddled
in New Jersey at $10,000 each, I contacted Elmer Bobst and
the State Finance Chairman, Milford Vieser. As you know,
there have been discussions concerning this proposed stag
affair for some time. In fact, Elmer Bobst took it up with
the President himself a few weeks ago at Camp David. A
list of about forty names was submitted by Vieser and pre-
liminary soundings were under way with these prospective
invitees in New Jersey. Vieser claims that everything was
being handled with great subtlety and discretion. Nonethe-
less, they were bumping into some unhappiness as they made
contacts. Nobody was being shaken down for ten grand, but
I can well imagine that, in the tradition of New Jersey politics
that I have sometimes observed, the fund raisers may have
been a little over-zealous. At any rate, it seems to me that
we are in a precarious position at this point. If we follow
through with the dinner, it certainly is going to get out that
the event took place, particularly now that the press is on
the scent. The size of the list is probably too big to be
manageable for any kind of subtle handling. Practically all
of the monied New Jersey business people have been touched
several times by now to help the Gross campaign. Another
approach, particularly if it is done in a heavy handed way,
only tends to irritate some of these people who are not
particularly charmed by Nelson Gross in the first place.
We have already found out that at least somebody up there
is not reluctant to talk to the press, and we can only expect
that if we follow through with the original plans that there
would be more.
Attached is the list that Mr. Bobst and Mr. Vieser submitted.
