fact
Following a conversation I had late last week with
Dick Scaife about the problems that exist between
Harry Dent and Hugh Scott over the Martin Hamburger-
David Eisenhower "conflict" over Goodling's Congres-
sional seat in Pennsylvania, I talked today to the
State Chairman of Pennsylvania, Cliff Jones. After
insisting that he was only interested in smoothing
over relations among Republicans, he expressed concern
over the negative relations he perceives between the
White House and Senator Scott and between Harry Dent
and Senator Scott. He indicated he had talked to
George Bush and that Bush was working on a meeting
between Harry and Hugh to straighten out those problems.
According to Jones, the key problem that is bothering
Scott, is the fact that he was not notified or con-
sulted prior to the initial feelers on David Eisenhower's
running for Goodling's seat. According to Jones,
something is moving on David again and he thinks it's
imperative that David get to Hugh Scott fast.

Bob wanted me to send you the attached. He thought it was particularly important
that you note the fact that homeowners tend to take a much more conservative view
on public issues than people that rent. In this regard, whenever possible, we should
direct our attention to items that will appeal to homeowners who of course make up
about 70% of the Nation's electorate. Politically, of course, we need to make sure that
our candidates have the good sense to make their appeals in exactly the same direction.
For example, rather than having blanket mailings, we should mail specifically to home-
owners and hit the issues that appeal particularly to them.

Recent Cambridge Opinion Studies Data
Using highly complex computer technologies, a broad sample, and personal
interviews (45 minutes minimum), Cambridge had been trying to find out
what element has the largest single influence on influencing support for
or away from any candidate.
The element that heads all others is Home Ownership.
A man's views on things are all changed once he is a homeowner. (Busing,
environment, taxes, police - all relate to homeownership.)
Use of this Data
If a candidate needs a coalition crossing party lines or liberal VS. con-
servative views - he should look to homeownership.
For example: In Queens, homeowners in little "row houses" had a different
viewpoint on many issues from the renter next door in an identical house.
"Homeownership" cuts across race, across rural-urban, across party, across
economic lines
I asked Lully Plesser for examples of other such elements. He cited as a
poor second, "Household with teenage children." This is a strong element
crossing party, etc., but not close to homeownership.
Miscellaneous
This firm has done some New York Polling:
On job approval:
Javits
76%
Buckley
49%
Even in Westchester, Javits is very high -- Buckley stays at 49%.
-2-
In Connecticut - Weicker has much higher favorables than Buckley
down in N. Y. The pollster feels this is because Buckley has not
latched onto an issue or issues in the public's mind.

On the battle of the budget, where we are playing against the compassion theme, what
about some television spots such as out negative spots in the fall campaign. This might
really stun some of our enemies. We could say that the reason we were running them
was because we were not getting a fair shake from our viewpoint on the networks. For
example, we could get the hard-hat who was eating his sandwich on the boom who was
going to have to pay for McGovern's welfare program and bring him back.
This would be a great Idea for your committee. TV spots are worth a thousand times
any newspaper ad.

Dear Mrs. Burgess:
This is to confirm the conversation you had with my secretary regarding a
refund for the two month period that the tennis courts were not available
to us but for which we had made payment. You indicated that there were
a total number of ten Monday nights for which we should receive reimbursement.
At the rate of $13.00 per hour for two hours each Monday evening, it is my
understanding that we should receive reimbursement in the amount of $260.00.
I believe that there was some discussion at one time about the possibility of
our taking some alternate court time. This would not be satisfactory. The
reason we chose Monday evening was because it was one of the few times we
could usually count on being in town.
We find the courts and the facilities to be superb and look forward to playing
again in the Fall.
Best wishes,
Sincerely,
Lawrence M. Higby
