MEMORANDUM
THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
January 13, 1971
MEMORANDUM FOR LARRY HIGBY
In response to your memo of January 8th I have been able to learn
nothing concrete. Harry Dent and I have discussed this at some
length and we were both convinced that Jimmy Allison is the prime
contributor to it. In rereading the column it is the kind of garbage
that any irresponsible columnist like Evans and/or Novak could
put together with relative ease. You can always find a disenchanted
party member who will say almost anything that will fit into the
desired space in the column if you ask him the questions in the right
way and you know the conclusion in advance that you want the column
to reach. In addition, of course, Elly Peterson was never a friend,
she hates the White House staff and has never been a Nixon Republican.
She will never do or say anything nice about us. In fact, she will do
the contrary.
We are taking separate steps to try to bring Allison under control.
The long and the short of it is that the old National Committee staff
hated the White House staff and have gone to great lengths to demon-
strate their feelings publicly. This is nothing new or different.
Lum.
