MEMORANDUM FOR:
THE HONORABLE JOHN N. MITCHELL
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
FROM:
H. R. HALDEMAN
I'm informed by Roger Ailes, who still has some people working
on some production in Indiana, that the political situation there
is deteriorating badly -- to the point of disaster.
As you know, there's a bitter fight between Whitcomb and Snyder --
Snyder now having been elected State Chairman. Apparently there
is a move by Whitcomb to dump Snyder within the next two weeks
and get control of the state committee again. He is shutting off
patronage funds from the state committee to try to squeeze Snyder
out,
Whitcomb is hated in the state, his standing in the polls is going
down from an already low point. Apparently, he also has tax
problems.
The Snyder forces seem to be basically loyal to RN. The
Whitcomb forces are controlled by Tabbert, who is an ultra-
conservative, and another fellow who was Reagan's midwest
manager.
There is a lot of talk of a Reagan move in Indiana.
As I am sure you know, there has been a suggestion that we give
Whitcomb a major appointment right now as a means of trying
to bring harmony back into the situation in Indiana. What's your
view on this?
