EXCERPTS FROM REMARKS PREPARED FOR DELIVERY BY
CLARK MacGREGOR, CAMPAIGN DIRECTOR
COMMITTEE FOR THE RE-ELECTION OF THE PRESIDENT
AT AN AFTERNOON MEETING OF THE
CALIFORNIA REPUBLICAN STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE
ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, SEPTEMBER 30, 1972
Whatever credibility Senator McGovern may once have enjoyed
is fast being undermined by the exposure of his rhetorical
ambiguities and substantive reversals. A sure vote-loser for
McGovern is his repeated tactic of linking the policies of
President Nixon to those of Adolf Hitler. And he is constantly
backing and filling in political desperation.
Senator McGovern has proposed three different welfare
schemes. In fact, his welfare position is getting more and more
like the House That Jack Built. The Senator started with a
proposal to change the welfare system. He has now come forward
with a scheme to replace his plan, to revise his proposal to
change the welfare system. I fear that tomorrow we will see
a suggestion to amend his scheme, to replace his plan to
revise his proposal to change the welfare system.

Just the cost of tracking and analyzing his proposals
would, at this rate, be sufficient in itself to require a tax
increase. Again, the characteristics of the President's
leadership present a dramatic contrast. The President has given
constant attention to the implementation of his strategies ----
rather than doctoring rhetoric or substance simply to gain
political appeal.
Despite the handicap of an obstructive Congress, President
Nixon's achievements have been extraordinary.

EMIRTY-ONE MAYORS, INCLUDING TEN DEMOCRATS, ATTACK MC COVERN'S URBAN POLICY
Senator NcGovern's sudden interest in the problems of America's
cities would be gratifying if his statements on the subject were not
characterized by the usual McGovern reliance on overblown rhetoric and
misinformation. On Thursday, Senator McGovern unveiled an Urban Policy
Pancl and unleashed rhetorical outburst which reads as though it had
been more than hurriedly compiled. Senator McGovern's statement was
inaccurate and incomplete. Having failed to introduce a single piece
of important legislation involving the cities in ten years, Senator
McGovern has suddenly become a convert to the study of urban problems
five weeks before the presidential election. We suppose that we
should be grateful for even his death bed conversion. Senator McGovern,
who was nowhere near the United States Senate when the vote on revenue
sharing took place, now pronounces himself in favor of even bigger
revenue. sharing programs -- although he characteristically does not
specify where he would get the additional $4 billion he now proposes.
The fact is that President Nixon's revenue sharing proposals have
been before the Congress for three years -- but Senator McGovern has only
recently announced that he favored them. Perhaps with his help those
programs could have gone into effect years ago. But when we needed
his help, Senator McGovern was not around.

Scootor McCovern claims that the Republican platform makes no mention
of an urban growth policy while in fact the platform notes that general
revenue sharing, urban and special revenue sharing and welfare reform
are the building blocks of a national growth policy. Conversely,
Senator McGovern declares himself in favor of a "re-invigorated" Law
Enforcement Assistance Administration while his own party platform,
drafted and approved by his extremist supporters in Miami Beach, calls
for eliminating LEAA. The only conclusion is that Senator McGovern is
unfamiliar with the important planks in his own platform, much less
the Republican platform. In another misstatement, Senator McGovern
claims that the Nixon Administration has impounded $315 million in
public housing money. But the fact is the Office of Management and
Budget is holding no public housing funds. That fact is easily
verifiable, but Senator McGovern, with his usual penchant for inaccuracy
and misstatement, did not check the facts.
In many other areas, Senator McGovern is wrong in his statement of
facts and wrong in his propagation of policy. As President of the
United States, he would be a disaster descending on the inhabitants
of America's cities. It was President Nixon who took the initiative
to propose, and in conjunction with the U.S. Conference of Mayors and
the National League of Cities, guided revenue sharing through the
Congress. And while revenue sharing is not a panacea for the problems
of the cities, the inauguration of this new concept is a giant step
toward restoring the ability of local governments to solve their own
problems at the level closest to the people.

President Mixon's effective leadership has helped create more than
two and one-half million jobs in the last year. New jobs are now being
created at the fastest rate since the boom year of 1955.
Three times as many needy school children are receiving free or re--
duced price school lunches this year as there were in 1969.
Housing starts are at the rate of two and one-third million per year,
65 percent more than the average during the previous two administrations.
These are the issues that are important to the people of the cities and
to the rest of America -- and on these issues, President Nixon has done
an outstanding job. For all these reasons, we support and will continue
to support Richard Nixon for a second term.

The Cincinnati (Ohio) Enquirer, in its Tuesday editions,
quotes Frank J. Lausche, former Democratic five-term Governor
of Ohio and former U. S. Senator, as saying in an exclusive
interview with The Enquirer's vice president and editor,
Brady Black, that Lausche believes that "the security of our
nation and the welfare of our people will be best served
by the re-election of President Nixon."
Lausche, who served in the Senate with McGovern, said,
"The record of Mr. McGovern shows that he is indecisive
and inconsistent practically from day to day with the
courses he will follow."
Lausche, who lives in Bethesda, Md., and practices law
in Washington and in his home city of Cleveland, continued:
"The military budget cannot be cut in the amount which
he has recommended without inviting offensive action by
nations seeking expansion."
"His proposal of a gift of $1000 a year to each man,
woman and child is practically unbelievable and incapable
of achievement except through ruination of the economy," the
Ohioan continued.

"His advocacy of the legalization of abortion and the
sale and use of marijuana and the granting of amnesty to
deserters and dodgers of the draft are wrong.
"His promotion of the acceptance of the policy of
busing school children for the purpose of achieving racial
integration is not acceptable to whites and to most blacks.
"As a citizen and as a veteran of World War I, I feel
deeply hurt in the knowledge that Mr. McGovern expresses
only good words in behalf of Communist North Vietnam and neve.
even the faintest credit of decency either to the government
of South Vietnam or its people.
"The President has taken long steps," Lausche declared,
"in terms of bringing about peace in the world. He has
lessened the tensions existing between our country on the
one hand and Russia and China on the other.
"He has practically brought the South Vietnam war to
an end. While there has not been a cease-fire, the fact
remains that there is not now a single one of our men
engaged in ground warfare.
"When Nixon became President there were 543,500 U.S.
troops in South Vietnam. Today, four years later, there
are 35,900.

"Mr. McGovern has shown a deep concern about our prisoners
in North Vietnam. I cannot understand his pretentions of
an ability to achieve a solution of the prisoners of war
problem while failing to take any action now to call upon
the Communists to abide by international rules of law
requiring the Red Cross or some other impartial international
agency to inspect the conditions under which the prisoners
are kept.' If
Shifting to Senator McGovern's proposals to repeal
certain deductions in federal income tax returns, Lausche said:
"Denying the right of a holder of government bonds,
except those holding United States government bonds, to
deduct from income the interest received on those bonds and
the right of a homeowner with an outstanding mortgage debt
to deduct from his income the interest paid on that mortgage
and the right of an industry to accelerate the period of
time in which an investment on a capital improvement has
been made - all these rights have been in existence and
were the product primarily of Democratic Congresses."

OCTOBER 9, and continuing 'til election eve, George McGovern is going to hammer at Richard Name's
failure to end the war. The stakes for American working men and women are enormous. It's their last chance until
1976 to Vote for Peace.
WHO KNOW Richard Nixon's four four extra years of war cost US dearly-
Our families lost 20,000 sonts, and 110,000 more were wounded.
Our families remain separated from their loved ones in POW camps.
Our families suffer the anguish of hundreds of others missing in action.
Our families pay the cost of $65 billion in taxes and debt.
Our families bear the expense of the wa4-caused initation.

In 1972 we read that "U.S. aides in Victnam see unending war."

The Harry S. Trunkin
Award
The Harry S. Truman Award was conceived by the
Saint Louis Democratic City Central Committee as a
continuing tribute to Missouri's most distinguished
citizen, the 33rd President of the United States, and
to honor each year, a Democrat who by his deeds
and service to his party and community warrants
such recognition.
The previous honorees were Senator Fred Harris of
Oklahoma, Senator Stuart Symington and Governor
Warren E. Hearnes of Missouri.
Senator Tom Eagleton was born in St. Louis on September 4, 1929. Tom was the
youngest man ever elected to the Office of Circuit Attorney. He followed this
by becoming the youngest Attorney General in Missouri's history in 1960 and
its youngest Lieutenant Governor in 1964.
Eagleton was elected to the United States Senate in 1968. During the four years
he has served in the Senate, he has established a solid reputation as an expert on
the problems confronting labor and environment, urban affairs, health care, drug
abuse, foreign policy and the aged.
In 1956 he married the former Barbara Ann Smith of St. Louis, a friend since
childhood. The couple have two children, son Terence, 13, and daughter Christin,
9.
Tom graduated cum laude from Amherst College and Harvard Law School.
During his career at Amherst, he took time out to enlist in the U.S. Navy and
spent the years 1948-1949 on active duty in the service.
As far as his political persuasions are concerned, the freshman Senator generally
eschews the traditional labels of "liberal" or "conservative" in favor of designat-
ing himself as a "progressive".
George McGovern was born in Avon, South Dakota, on July 19, 1922, the son of
a Methodist Clergyman.
His undergraduate education, interrupted by Service in World War II was at
Dakota Wesleyan University. He earned his Ph.D. in History and Government at
Northwestern University and returned to serve as a History professor at Dakota
Wesleyan in Mitchell, South Dakota.
He served in the U.S. House of Representatives, 1957 - 1961.
In January, 1961, President John F. Kennedy appointed him first Director of the
Food for Peace Program and Special Assistant to the President.
He was elected to the Senate in 1962 and re-elected in 1968.
He is Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Nutrition and Human needs.
He also serves as Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Indian Affairs and
is a member of the Committee on Agriculture and Interior.
Senator McGovern is the author of three books: War against Want, 1964;
Agricultural Thought in the Twentieth Century, 1967 and A Time of War/a Time
of Peace, 1968; as well as articles for leading magazines and journals. He holds
several honorary degrees.
The Senator and his wife, Eleanor, have four daughters and one son Ann
McGovern Mead, Susan McGovern Rowan, Teresa, Steven and Mary, and three
grandsons, Timothy and Kevin Mead and Matthew Rowen.

Mr. Raymond Caldiero
Celebrities for the President
1701 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20006
Dear Mr. Caldiero:
Well, yes, you're right on some counts. Perhaps Shirley Maclaine
is less credible than James Stewart, less charismatic than
John Wayne, less entertaining than Bob Hope, older than Pam Powell
(though that point verged on bitchiness, I thought). But what
seemed fasinating to us about her was neither her show-biz qualities
nor her particular political views but the unusual phenomenon of a
movie actress temporarily abandoning her entertainment career entirely
and devoting herself full-time to politics. In that respect, at least,
I think MacLaine outweighs the other people you mentioned, and that's
why we put her on the cover. (Do you honestly believe that we thought
a cover story on her would "revive the faltering McGovern candidacy?")
I'm sorry that you feel we gave the Nixon celebrities short shrift--
I don't think we did, but that's a matter of judgment. (Your picture
count, incidentally, was a little unfair: exclusive of the cover and
the boxed story on a day with MacLaine, we showed seven McGovern celebs
and five Nixon ones. And in the issue of September ll--page 21--the
celebrity score was Nixon 4, McGovern 0.) I don't know, in light of
the tone of your letter, whether you'd be willing to accept my thanks
for anything. But if so, I do want you to know that we're extremely
grateful for the very generous help you and the Nixon celebrities gave
us on this story. They offered us a lot of time and good material, and
all with great good humor. God knows not every bit of it was used--it
never is in any story-but I'm satisfied that the best parts were in-
cluded. And I cannot believe that any of our readers finished the
article without a very strong impression that celebrities have turned
out in extraordinary numbers for President Nixon this year.

1910 K STREET, N.W., WASHINGTON, D.C. 20006
Dear Friend:
Sargent Shriver and I are seeking one million Americans who will
help finance our "people's campaign" for President and Vice-President
with an average contribution of $25.
We have been enormously heartened by the tens of thousands of
contributions that have been pouring in by mail. But much more is
still needed.
So if you have not already sent us a contribution, we earnestly
hope that we may now include you in our Million-Member Club of con-
tributors.
If you have already given, please consider giving again. Both
the need and the opportunity are almost without precedent in our his-
tory. Your contributions will strengthen not only our presidential
campaign but the whole forward movement of the Democratic Party.
In Richard Nixon and his heir apparent, Spiro Agnew, we Demo-
crats once again face a deeply entrenched Republican Administration
fighting to preserve the status quo and protect the privileges of
the favored few.
In contrast to our openly disclosed support from thousands of
small contributors, the Republicans have refused to reveal the
sources of the $10 million they hastily gathered in before the new
disclosure law took effect. One can only conclude that many of
these secret contributions are large gifts from wealthy individuals
and corporations seeking special favors.
And in their desperate efforts to retain power, the Republicans
are now attempting to rewrite the history of the Nixon years.
At the same time, they are seeking to distort my views and
programs almost beyond recognition.
They say they stand for full employment. But they have added
two million workers to the unemployment rolls.
They say they stand for a balanced budget. But the Nixon
deficits have already exceeded the combined deficits of President
Eisenhower, President Kennedy, and President Johnson.
Indeed, the cumulative four-year Nixon deficit of $80 billion
represents one fifth of the entire national debt accumulated since
the age of George Washington. But the Republicans have nothing to
show for it except a string of Nixon vetoes of needed programs and
a new holocaust of devastation in Vietnam. And they project going
deeper into debt by another $25 billion in 1973.
- 2 -
They say they stand for stable prices. But consumer prices have
risen 18% during the Nixon years, 50% faster than during the previous
Democratic administrations.
They accuse us of fiscal irresponsibility. But it is we Demo-
crats who are spelling out exactly how we propose to finance the
programs the country so urgently needs. It is the Republicans who
are giving the nation rhetoric rather than arithmetic.
In his acceptance speech, Richard Nixon talked about higher re-
tirement benefits. But he did not tell us how he would pay the bill.
He talked about reducing property taxes. But he did not tell us
how he would replace the lost revenue.
In this election year, he promises aid to parochial schools, but
we have seen neither his plans nor his financing.
He hails an arms agreement with Russia but then asks Congress to
increase our already bloated military spending budget by an additional
$4 billion.
For four years he has talked about Revenue Sharing with cities
and states, but he has not provided revenue to share.
For four years he has talked of Family Assistance. But he has
shown more vigor in vetoing child development, day care, and educa-
tion bills than in pressing for Family Assistance.
And if we do the things he suggests without sound financing, we
will strengthen the already harsh grip of inflation on the families
of America.
For months I have worked with a team of distinguished econo-
mists to develop a fiscally sound program for reordering our
national priorities and fulfilling our national needs.
This was the economic program I unveiled in an address before
the New York Society of Security Analysts on August 29.
Those who hoped I would compromise on the basic principles on
which I have campaigned from the beginning were undoubtedly disap-
pointed.
Those who wanted reassurance that my program is completely
workable were satisfied. I was particularly pleased that Dr. Paul
Samuelson, the Nobel Prize-winning economist, called it "a tremen-
dous improvement over the present system."
You will hear from the Republicans that my proposals will in-
crease taxes on every family with an income above $12,000, or
$15,000, or whatever level the White House invents tomorrow.
- 3 -
But the truth is that under my program, no family living on
wages and salaries rather than investments will face a single penny
of increased taxes. Indeed, homeowners sinking under the weight of
heavy local school taxes on their property could enjoy tax relief
in the form of reduction of as much as 1/3 of this burden.
No longer would we have such grotesque examples of tax injust-
ice as that of the American who enjoyed an income one recent year
of $2,300,000 from oil and gas, capital gains, dividends, and
interest -- yet paid tax at less than half the 14% a working person
pays on the first $1,000 of taxable income.
No longer would money earned by money be taxed at a lower rate
(as it often is today) than money earned by people.
And no longer would corporations get special tax breaks which
encourage profits more than they do investments in growth.
The tax reforms we propose, phased in over a 3-year period,
would yield $22 billion in additional tax revenue by 1975.
In addition, I have proposed cutting military spending by
approximately $10 billion a year in each of the next 3 years.
Current military spending wastes literally billions of dollars
on planes that do not fly, on missiles that do not work, on arms we
do not need, and on a capacity to fight guerilla conflicts that are
none of our business.
We have more top brass today to command 2.5 million men than
we had to command 12 million men at the end of World War II.
We have 500,000 American troops and dependents still stationed
in Europe -- a number more than double the level President Eisen-
hower thought adequate nearly 7 years ago.
Added together, this tax reform program and military spending
cut will provide $52 billion for the programs we need.
It can provide meaningful revenue-sharing for our hard-pressed
cities and states, so they can afford to offer adequate public
services once again.
It can provide $15 billion in Federal aid to our school dis-
tricts so they can offer quality education and reduce school taxes.
It can provide for new hospitals, more medical training, cleaner
air and water, a G.I. Bill for Vietnam veterans and policemen, safer
streets, better protection against job accidents.
It can cut our welfare rolls by as much as 30% by providing a
decent job at decent pay for everyone who wants to work -- and by
- 4 -
broadening and increasing Social Security coverage for the handi-
capped and feeble elderly.
And we can still have enough left over to provide $77 a week in
cash and food stamps for a helpless mother with three small children
who can't work and needs welfare to survive.
This program will not cost $144 billion, the incredible claim
made in the President's acceptance speech. It will cost less than
the $52 billion we can realize through my proposed tax reforms and
military spending cuts.
I realize it is unprecedented for a presidential candidate to
make such detailed, specific proposals. I realize it has made me a
much easier target for the opposition than if I had confined my
public statements to safe generalities, as candidates usually do.
But I feel that 1972 is a turning point in the affairs of this
nation. It is a time when we must decide what kind of people we
are, and what kind of country we want. Such a time demands concrete
proposals and a clear choice.
Please help us carry this choice to the American people by
sending us your contribution. Without the unstinting support of
those who keenly appreciate the special importance of this election,
we may not succeed. But with such support, we cannot fail.
Sincerely yours,
Seorge Sovern
George McGovern
P.S. After President Jackson was elected as a "people's candidate"
in 1828, he threw open the doors of the White House on Inauguration
Day and let the people come in.
Inspired by his example, I wish it were possible to invite
everyone who supports my campaign to come to a People's Dinner
Party at the White House after my inauguration next January.
Obviously, inviting millions of people would be impossible.
But we will have a People's Dinner Party anyway, and the invitation
list will be made up by selecting 250 names at random from our total
list of supporters. I hope you will be one of them.
Of course, you need not make a contribution to be eligible.

STATEMENT OF MAURICE H. STANS IN RESPONSE TO SENATOR
WARREN G. MAGNUSON
I am sorry that Senator Magnuson has chosen to join the
McGovern smear Brigade. He has resorted to crass political
inuendo to support a charge which he knows full well is contrary
to fact. The meeting he described was a constructive
discussion of technical industry matters and had no political
purpose. It did not deal with political contributions and no
favors of any kind were asked or granted. Indeed, the one
campaign contribution to which he referred was from a man who
wasn't even there, and had been committed months earlier
solely on his own behalf. During my three years as Secretary
of Commerce I am proud that the department accomplished more
to protect the public against flammable fabrics than the two
previous administrations combined. The Bureau of Standards
performed its responsibilities effectively and expeditiously
at all times. The safety standards are too important to be made
a political football and I am dismayed that Senator Magnuson
has chosen to do SO.

MISSISSIPPI COMMITTEE APPOINTS STATE LEGISLATORS COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN
Senator Charles W. Pickering of Laurel was appointed State Chairman of
the State Legislators Committee for the Re-election of the President
in Mississippi. The appointment was made by Clark MacGregor, Campaign
Director of the Committee for the Re-election of the President. Pickering
will coordinate the efforts of the Mississippi state legislators committee
to re-elect President Nixon.
"I am deeply honored by the appointment", Pickering said.
"I believe that the re-election of President Nixon is in the best interest
of the future of the State and of the Nation. He has treated the South

with respect and dignity; he has repeatedly spoken out against busing,
and has appointed conservatives to the Supreme Court. Election of
George McGovern who tried to make secret deals with the enemy by sending
Pierre Salinger to Paris would not only bankrupt our Country, but it would
destroy all confidence which our friends and allies have in the United States."
Senator Pickering is serving his first four-year term as a member of the
Mississippi State Senate. He served from 1964 to 1968 as County Attorney
of Jones County. He is an attorney and farmer.
Senator Pickering was a delegate to the 1968 National Republican Convention
in Miami and served in 1968 as 5th Congressional District Chairman for the
election of President Nixon.
Senator Pickering was selected as one of three outstanding young men in
Mississippi in 1964 by the Jaycees. He is currently Chairman of the
Jones County Chapter of the National American Red Cross and past Director
of the fund drive of the Heart Association and the March of Dimes. He is
a Kiwanian, a Mason, a Shriner, and a member of the First Baptist Church
of Laurel.

STATEMENT BY CLARK MacGREGOR, CAMPAIGN DIRECTOR, ON COLUMBUS DAY
The discovery of America marked a turning point in the lives of millions of
people from Europe, Asia and the rest of the world. What the Great Discoverer
found here in 1492 was a land of hardship and hard work, but, above all, a new
land that was to be a land of opportunity for mankind.
During the nearly five centuries since that great Italian navigator -
Cristoforo Colombo .. or Christopher Columbus, as we know him - discovered our
New World, America has been the dream beyond the reality, the place to which men
and women with ambition and courage could come when all else failed them. It
became a land where people of spirit could prove their own worth because they
were free to advance themselves on their own merits.
We are very proud on this observance of Columbus Day of the many men and
women and children who have come to America from Italy, from Europe and from all
over the world. And we are proud of the many Americans of Italian heritage whose
outstanding qualities have earned them high positions in President Nixon's Cabinet,
in the White House and in other areas of our government.

A CONVERSATION WITH YANK DURHAM
WASHINGTON -- Sit down with Yancey "Yank" Durham, the man behind Joe Frazier,
throw him some tough questions -- and wait for the fireworks.
A strong man, and a man of strong opinions, Durham gets right to the point with his
opinions on the fight game, sportscasters, politics, the Olympics and anything else you
may care to name.
In an interview in the nation's capital, he offered these thoughts:
-- on officiating at the Olympic games in Munich: "I thought it was terrible. I mean,
from what 1 could see on television, I don't think they gave the American boys a fair shake
there."
-- on ABC sportscaster Howard Cosell: "If he ever picks a winner, I'm willing to step
out of the fight game. I do not think Howard Cosell is good for fighting nor do I think he's
good for football. He and I don't get along too well for the remarks he makes on various
things and he's always wrong."
-- on government support for the American Olympic Team: "I'm 100 per cent for the
government doing something about this because we have so many athletes here that just don't
have the money to go to it. ... Now you need some reputable coaches to go with these
guys and especially in the fighting game."
(more)
DURHAM
2-2-2-2
-- on politics: "I'm very concerned with this election, and especially I am 100
per cent for President Nixon, and I'm going to do everything I possibly can to keep him
in there. I don't think that at this particular time we should change But I only have
one vote and I'm going to do everything l'can for the President because of various things
he has done under his administration that I am really carried away with, and especially
for what he has done for Sickl e Cell Anemia."
It is when his interviewer asks about this last point -- Sickle Cell Anemia -- that
Durham becomes intense. Normally a relaxed, humorous man whose voice seems always
on the edge of laughter, Durham turns deadly serious when the conversation turns to
Sickle Cell.
The founder of the Yank Durham Sickle Cell Anemia Foundation, the man who promoted
Joe Frazier into the biggest pay day in boxing history devotes hours every week to promoting
funds to combat the disease which strikes only black people.
"I usually use all of my time when I'm not with the fighters to do this, # Durham says,
"and I always make the statement that this is the hardest fight -- the biggest fight -- I
ever had. That is, trying to fight Sickle Cell Anemia. And with the help of Joe Frazier
and various other people I hope in the near future we'll come up with a cure for it."
Asked if he finds more interest in the Nixon Administration in combatting Sickle Cell,
the man who has endorsed Democrats and Republicans -- who endorsed John J. Kennedy
in 1960 -- says, "Yes, I see a lot of answers in this Administration. Anything I can
do to help the President or to keep him in office -- re-elect him -- I am willing."

DURHAM
3-3-3-3

President Nixon's budget this year calls for million to combat sickle cell, the
first time any Administration has made a major commitment to this fight. But Durham
wants to supplement that request with private funds.
On October 15, Durham says, "We're having a Walkathon in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania. It'll start at John F. Kennedy Plaza, and we have a 20-mile walk. "
"Anyone who would like to participate in this walk -- and it's the first walk for
Sickle Cell Anemia -- I would like them to get in touch with US in Philadelphia at
(215) 732-2213."
"People are going to walk and they're going to get sponsors -- whether it's $1, $2,
$5 or $10 a mile. This money will go into the foundation and then they'll send this
money out to various places, various towns, various cities, hospitals to ... treat people,
do research and various other things."
Durham says Floyd Patterson, Jackie Robinson and many other celebrities and athletes
will be joining in the walkathon and "we're going to have a big day."
That said, Durham relaxed again and told how he discovered Joe Frazier: "Joe came
into the gym to lose weight. He didn't come in to be a fighter. And after being around
the gym for awhile, he said, 'I think I want to try.'"
"I said, O.K., put on the gloves. So he started staggering around the ring like all
the other fighters do."
Some observers thought Joe wouldn't ever make a fighter, Durham confides, but "I
said, well, if you come into the gym and make the sacrifice, I think you can make it.
And from that point he started training and we started putting him in amateur fights."

The rest, of course, is history, with Joe Frazier eventually defeating Mohammed Ali
(whom Durham still calls Cassius Clay) in the richest fight of all time to become the
undisputed world heavyweight champion.
Ali, Durham says, "is a nice guy, but, you know, he's a great actor. ... Boxing was
dying and with Joe Frazier and Cassius Clay, I think they brought fighting back to what
it should be."
Although Durham is extremely close to Frazier, Yank says he doesn't know how Joe
will vote in November. "Joe is concentrating on his boxing," Durham says. "That's
mostly what we talk about."
Before he left, his interviewers asked him one more question: what did he think of
Georgia legislator Julian Bond's statement that a black man who supports President Nixon
is a "political prostitute"?
"Well, if he made that statement, I hope he listens to this," Durham said. "I am
for the man that I think is the best man suited for the job -- and that is President Nixon."
And with that Yank Durham went off to promote another fight, raise money for
Sickle Cell Anemia and loosen up the world with a few good, solid jabs to the intellect.

TEXAS LABOR COMMITTEE ANNOUNCES SUPPORT FOR THE RE-ELECTION OF PRESIDENT NIXON
A Texas Labor Committee for the Re-election of President Nixon was announced
at a press conference today in Dallas by Bernard E. DeLury, Executive Director of
the national Labor Committee for the Re-election of the President.
DeLury said that Paul Story, branch agent in Galveston for the National
Marine Engineers Beneficial Association, AFL-CIO, will serve as state co-chairman
along with R. B. Bunch president of the Texas State Conference of Teamsters
which represents 32,000 members in various local unions. "Mr. Bunch and Mr. Story
will be contacting other Trade Union officials in an effort to expand the Committee
to include other Texas labor organization," DeLury said.
Mr. Story, a lifelong Democrat and active in Texas politics, stated that
Labor should support President Nixon as "the most experienced man for the good of
America."
The Labor support was accepted on behalf of President Nixon by Mr. DeLury and
Mr. Donald F. Rodgers, consultant to the President for Labor.
Mr. Rodgers said that similar Labor committees are emerging across the
United States and that it appears that the regional and local leadership is res-
ponding to the feelings of the members who are supporting President Nixon.

To the Editor:
I was both displeased and annoyed
by two letters that appeared in The
Inquirer Sept. 6, concerning the Jews
and the President.
One gentleman pointed out the irony
of how the Jewish vote seems to be
swinging toward the incumbent Re-
publican, despite Vietnam, where he
feels the U.S. bombing policy is com-
mitting genocide, which he likens to
the Nazi death camps.
I would remind him of the thou-
sands upon thousands of people -in
concentration camps in Cuba, Russia,
Eastern Europe, and North Vietnam,
and that the Communists are the ag-
gressors trying to impose their own
ideology and government upon the
people of the South who want only to
be left alone.

Dear Harry:
Thank you very much for your kind invitation for lunch at the White
House October 10. I will be in Las Vegas attending the U. S.
Independent Telephone Association convention and therefore will
be unable to attend.
We have just completed a poll in Kenneth Robinson's 7th Congres-
sional District, and you may be interested in these figures: Nixon,
67%; McGovern, 18%; and undecided, 15%. In the Senate race it is:
Henderson, 1%; Scott, 33%; Spong, 34%; and undecided, 32%.
Bill Scott can win this Senate race and the undecided vote will
make it possible; however, to do this we will need the full lever
that is available of the President and the Administration.
Kenneth's race is coming along very nicely and I expect him to
win with a percentage similar to the President.
Best personal regards.
Yours truly,
Warren B. French, Jr.

STATEMENT BY ALBERT E. ABRAHAMS, DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS FOR
THE COMMITTEE FOR THE RE-ELECTION OF THE PRESIDENT
This campaign is sick and tired of political and physical harassment.
Throughout the campaign, Nixon headquarters and Nixon supporters in all
parts of the country have been subjected to a campaign of constant
physical and verbal abuse. Our buildings have been targets for arson in
which one person died; another fire-bombing took place in California just
this week. Delegates to the Republican National Convention were physically
assaulted by mobs. As has been publicly reported and admitted, McGovern
headquarters in California were placed at the disposal of anti-war
demonstrators organizing street protests against the President with the
clear purpose of inhibiting his right to campaign among the people.
And violent demonstrations in New York City resulted in extensive property
damage.
Today a group of "welfare rights" demonstrators invaded the
Washington headquarters of Democrats for Nixon, disrupted activities, tore
down signs and replaced them with posters calling for a $6,500 guaranteed
annual income for welfare recipients. Whether or not these people are
part of the official McGovern campaign apparatus, they are obviously
supporters of Senator McGovern. He endorsed and introduced their legisla-
tion in the United States Senate. That legislation, of course, was
totally rejected by the Congress, as well as by the American people.
(more)
-2-
And now the people who back his concepts have invaded a peaceful
political headquarters in unlawful actions resulting in a number
of arrests.
The time has come for Senator McGovern to join in calling a
halt to these despicable and criminal acts. And that time is
now. Not tomorrow. Not next week. Not after the election. But
right now. Senator McGovern must tell them to come home to his
own political headquarters and leave ours alone.

Clark MacGregor, Campaign Director of the Committee for the Re-election of
the President, today announced the organization of Physicians for the Re-election
of the President, which is mobilizing support for the President's campaign among
the nation's doctors.
The physicians' group is headed by a National Steering Committee under the
chairmanship of Malcolm C. Todd, M.D., a Long Beach, California surgeon, who
traveled with President Nixon as a staff physician in his 1952, 1956 and 1960
campaigns. Dr. Todd is a past president of the California Medical Association
and presently is chairman of the American Medical Association's Council on Health
Manpower.
Serving as Dr. Todd's co-chairman on the committee is Mrs. Elmer M. (Mary
Louise) Smith of Des Moines, Iowa. Mrs. Smith has been active in Medical Society
Auxiliary affairs and is coordinating the activity of physicians' wives in the
campaign.
Honorary co-chairmen are the following highly-respected physicians who,
over the years, have been closely associated personally with the President:
Edward R. Annis, M.D., of Miami and New York, a past president of AMA; John
Brasino, M.D., of Chappaqua, New York; Victor DeLuccia, M.D., of New York City;
John Lungren, M.D., Long Beach, California; Edward L. Meyers, M.D., of Englewood,
New Jersey; and William B. Walsh, M.D., director of Project Hope, Washington, D.C.

Members of the National Steering Committee, in addition to
Dr. Todd, are the following physicians, each of whom has been responsible for
forming physicians' organizations in several states in their areas: Frank C.
Coleman, M.D., Tampa, Florida; F.W. Dowda, M.D., Atlanta, Georgia; C.H. Hagmeier,
M.D., Portland, Oregon; Max E. Johnson, M.D., San Antonio, Texas; Rex E. Kenyon,
M.D., Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; George J. Lawrence, Jr., M.D., Flushing, New York;
Tom E. Nesbitt, M.D., Nashville, Tennessee; and Robert N. Smith, M.D., Toledo, Ohio.
In announcing the physicians' organization, Mr. MacGregor said, "Because
physicians are accorded such a high degree of respect and confidence by the general
public, it is heartening to note that polls have shown that the medical community
overwhelmingly supports the re-election of President Nixon. I am sure that the
Physicians for the Re-election of the President will play a vital role in our
campaign to give the President a tremendous vote of confidence on November 7."
Concerning his role in the campaign, Dr. Todd stated, "I am convinced
that the re-election of President Nixon is essential to the goal, which we all
share, of providing adequate health care for our nation's citizens. This is in
the best interests both of the doctors and of their patients. I know that the
President respects the importance of an independent medical profession in
providing quality health service to the public.
"Physicians, as leaders of their communities, can play' a significant role
in this campaign, and it is our objective to assure that they fulfill this
responsibility for the benefit of our profession and of the nation."

Clark MacGregor, Campaign Director, today released the
attached memorandum which he has directed to his campaign
organization for the remaining weeks of the campaign.
MEMORANDUM FOR:
STATE CHAIRMEN AND CAMPAIGN WORKERS
FROM:
CLARK MacGREGOR, CAMPAIGN DIRECTOR
SUBJECT:
Violence Directed at the Nixon Campaign
On Thursday, October 12, a large group of so-called "Welfare
Rights" demonstrators invaded the headquarters of Democrats for
Nixon in Washington, D.C. Before they were arrested by the police --
after they. had ignored repeated requests to leave -- they tore
campaign signs off the walls, replaced them with their own posters
and turned the offices into a shambles.
On October 8, a molotov cocktail was discovered propped against
the door of our Newhall, California headquarters in a manner calcu-
lated to ignite it under the feet of whomever opened the door.
Luckily, the device was discovered before it went off.
These two very recent incidents, added to a lengthy list of
others, make it quite clear that our facilities and our staffs must
constantly guard against potential acts of violence.
On September 25, all state chairmen received a memorandum from
the National Committee's Director of Administration urging the
implementation of routine security measures to insure the safety of
our facilities and personnel. That notice reflected a deep concern
which is reinforced by the incidents cited above. Thus, the purpose
of this memorandum is to emphasize the importance of anticipating sim-
ilar acts, hopefully less violent and dangerous, in the remaining
days of the campaign.
So that you will fully understand the nature and gravity of the
threat, let me outline a few of the incidents which have already
occurred:
(more)
-2-
On September 17, fire caused extensive damage to the Democrats
for Nixon Headquarters in Hollywood, California. According
to police, one of the arsonists was burned to death at the
scene of the fire. The three burglars were attempting to
obtain a telephone switchboard mechanism at the same time;
the arson was an attempt to cover up the burglary.
-- On September 25, arsonists caused an estimated $100,000 -
$150,000 damage to the Committee's headquarters in Phoenix,
Arizona. According to police, fire department and FBI
reports, a highly flammable liquid was poured throughout the
first floor offices and set afire. The fire department said
the fire caused by this act was one of the most intense in
memory.
-- The State Headquarters for the Nixon Re-election Committee
in Los Angeles has been the target of two major demonstrations.
Various Nixon storefronts throughout Los Angeles County have
reported minor damage, such as broken windows, over the
past weeks.
-- McGovern headquarters in Los Angeles acknowledges permitting
use of its telephones by anti-war demonstrators for the
purpose of promoting a major demonstration against the
President when he appeared at the Century Plaza Hotel on
September 27.
- Similar permission was given to use Senator McGovern's
Berkeley headquarters as a "drop" for literature explaining
how and where demonstrators should appear against the
President in San Francisco / including an exhortation that
(more)
-3-
the demonstrators should "take a pig to lunch" and block
the President's right to communicate his views to the Nation
while in San Francisco.
-- Shortly after the President's appearance, roving bands of
demonstrators smashed windows of business and commercial
enterprises in downtown San Francisco.
--- At least half a dozen incidents have been reported by our
State Headquarters in New York City. These incidents have
occurred within the past few weeks and have included major
demonstrations and several arrests, a fire-bomb incident and
broken windows at storefronts throughout New York City.
-- In Massachusetts, approximately 100 people marched on our
State Headquarters in Boston. The demonstrators carried
placards and leaflets identifying themselves as "Grassroots
McGovern Volunteers. " After a brief demonstration in front
of our Headquarters, they attempted to enter the building by
force after having been asked to clear the doorway by the
building superintendent. Two demonstrators were arrested
following a scuffle with police.
-- The windows of the Nixon storefront in Arlington, Massachusetts,
were broken.
-- There have been numerous other incidents, reported and verified,
of a minor nature.
I urge all of you to note these facts with a minimum of alarm
but a maximum of caution. Inasmuch as most of these incidents have
taken place quite recently, I strongly urge, once again, that you
employ all security measures necessary to protect the personnel
working at your offices.
(more)
-4-
In only some of these cases have the perpetrators been linked
with the opposition's campaign, openly or otherwise. In several
cases, there has been no evidence of political motivation. However,
it is safe to assume that the majority of incidents have been
politically inspired, although not necessarily with the approval of
McGovern campaign people. The sudden rash of violent incidents
coincides with the increasing evidence that Senator McGovern's
candidacy is proving to be disastrous in result and desperate in
nature. Some of his more unthinking supporters might well decide
to try to take his campaign into their own hands.
I will back you in every way. If Senator McGovern would join
us in a constructive and positive way, opposing any breach of the
peace, any effort to promote violence, we could go a long way
toward protecting the campaign from physical harm and advancing the
right of the President and, indeed, of Senator McGovern to proceed
on the campaign trail in peace so that the issues of the day may be
debated rationally and calmly enough to be heard by all Americans.

STATEMENT BY A SPOKESMAN FOR THE
COMMITTEE FOR THE RE-ELECTION OF THE PRESIDENT
The Committee for the Re-election of the President deeply
appreciates the generous assistance of Mrs. Martha Mitchell in
helping to re-elect President Nixon.
However, recent innuendos about her personal well-being ap-
parently prompted by an unfortunate incident in California in
mid-June have given cause for deep concern and regret.
Mrs. Mitchell has made several personal appearances in recent
weeks and participated in numerous press interviews which we believe
remove any doubt about her physical and emotional health. The rumors
to the contrary should be taken for what they are -- outrageous
gossip. She has been open, free and candid in her conversations
with the press and in her public appearances.
The Committee deplores both the rumors and their sources. We
strongly condemn any insinuation that serves to discredit this
gracious lady.
Mrs. Mitchell returns with her husband and daughter to private
life in New York with the best wishes and high esteem of those who
have had the pleasure of her association and friendship here in the
Nation's Capitol.

The attached statement was released to the Congressional
Record today by Senator Barry Goldwater (R-Ariz.) .
Remarks by Senator Barry Goldwater
of Arizona prepared for insertion
in the record of October 12, 1972
A TALE OF TWO CAMPAIGNS
Mr. President, one of the most interesting aspects of the Presidential
campaign to date is the anguish and frustration being shown by members of
the liberal press because the American people have not taken seriously their
charges of corruption in the Nixon Administration.
These experts in the art of the double standard would like to see
President Nixon held personally accountable for the Watergate incident
and every other irregularity that has occurred during his term in office.
They would like the public to believe that in some sinister way one of the
greatest Presidents this country has ever had was personally pulling
strings to have his campaign workers engage in illegal pursuits.
In effect, they make something of a superman out of the President in
this respect. They depict a man who is not busy enough opening the door
to Communist China, conferring in Moscow with Soviet leaders, winding down
the war in Vietnam, placing the National economy on the road to prosperity
and attempting a massive reform of the Federal bureaucracy. They would have
us believe the President is so energetic and efficient that he also has time
to pass on every move made by every person engaged in the campaign to re-
elect him for four more years.
Liberal newsmen, on T.V., on the radio and in the newspapers have con-
sistently bemoaned the fact that the Watergate affair has not convinced the
American people that they should dump President Nixon and elect a man who
would undo every bit of good that has been accomplished at home and abroad
in the past four years.
- 2 -
This is a question on which I feel I have special qualifications to
comment. This is true because the liberals who are today complaining
because the public is not inclined to hold President Nixon personally #
accountable for every act committed by Republican workers are the same
people who went all the way for the re-election of President Lyndon Johnson
despite the crimes committed by his personal Senate protege, Bobby Baker.
Although President Johnson, when he was in the Senate, often referred to
Baker as the nearest thing to a son he had ever had, the liberals saw
nothing strange in the fact that Mr. Johnson knew nothing about Baker's
wide-spread and long-term felonious activities.
Here was a situation where criminal actions were taken by a man very
close to the President of the United States, but a man whose activites
the liberals and the voting public never even considered holding against
Mr. Johnson. I am not suggesting that President Johnson had any knowlege
of Baker's activities, nor am I suggesting that President Johnson condoned
these activities. What I am saying is that Mr. Johnson had a much greater
opportunity to know what Baker was up to than President Nixon had to know
what the Watergate buggers were up to.
Mr. President, eight years ago, the liberal press, especially those
parts of it located in Washington, D.C., had no interest in harping con-
tinually on Mr. Johnson's close relationship to Bobby Baker. In fact, that
aspect of Mr. Johnson's career was selfom even mentioned. But today, we
find the liberal press demanding that every last detail of the Watergate
affair be aired before the election because of "the people's right to know."
Leading the campaign, with stories, editorials and cartoons, is, of course,
the Washington Post. I submit that the Post, in its hysterical and rightous
- 3 -
complaints about the Nixon campaign, has got to have set some kind of an
all-time record for political hypocracy. This is the newspaper which, in
1964, was so negligent of the public's right to know that it deliberately
suppressed news about the arrest of one of President Johnson's top assistants
at the direct request of Mr. Clark Clifford and Mr. Abe Fortis.- both close
friends of President Johnson. It.will be recalled that it was not until
Reblican National Chairman Dean Birch got wind of this development and
charged the news media with suppressing legitimate news that the story was
printed.
In other words, Mr. President, the people who today are e' arying a political
coverup by the Nixon Administration were actually a part of the coverup by
the Johnson Administration in the 1964 Presidential campaign.
And if memory serves me correctly, the Washington Post, which is so
norrified at the possibility of political espionage, some years ago paid
hundreds of dollare for information supplied by a man it thought was imployed
by a Senate committee headed by the late Joseph McCarthy. Apparently, where
the liberal press is concerned, the end justifies the means. Because the
Washington Post felt that McCarthy was the worst thing that ever happened in
Congress, it apparently felt that any kind of methods, legal or illegal, were
justified in obtaining confidential information. One wonders, in the light
of this, why the Post is so aggitated by the Watergate incident.
There is no attempt here to defend the people responsible for the
Watergate affair. This is merely an attempt to draw the whole thing into
better perspective in relation to the Presidential election campaign.
The argument of Senator McGovern that President Nixon's Administration
is the most corrupt in the Nation's history is, of course, complete hogwash
uttered by a candidate so far benies that he has become frantically superlative.
- 4 -
And when everything is said and done, the few incidents of alleged
corruption McGovern alludes to have nothing to do with the conduct of
governmental affairs which directly affect the lives of 208 million Americans,
to say nothing of policies having to with the future peace of the world. It
is ridiculous on its face to suggest that President Nixon is somehow respon-
sible for the Watergate affair. He has proven many times over that he is
a completely honorable man deserving of re-election to four more years.
I believe the American people are to be congratulated on their maturity
and poise in not letting the arch liberals get away with their sordid
attempts to inject false issues into the Presidential campaign. The time
is now past when the liberal politicians and their allies in the communi-
cations media could hoodwink the electorate into voting against its own
best interests.
In this connection, I believe the liberal commentators are doing the
American people a grave injustice when they claim that the refusal of the
public to become as excercised as the liberals over the Watergate affair,
stems from a nationwide cynicism generated by the war in Vietnam. Just the
reverse is true. The American people have learned to differentiate between
fact and partisan ranting.

SPANISH-SPEAKING COMMITTEE FOR THE RE-ELECTION OF THE PRESIDENT ANNOUNCED
Formation of a Spanish-speaking Committee for the Re-election of the
President was announced today by Alex Armendariz, Executive Director of the
Spanish-speaking Division of the Committee for the Re-election of the President.
Edward Hidalgo, noted attorney, was named chairman along with his co-
chairmen, Luis Ferre, Governor of Puerto Rico; and internationally known
actor Anthony Quinn.
"The national Spanish-speaking Committee for Nixon has as its objective
the re-election of the President with maximum support by the Spanish-speaking
constituency of our Nation. To this end, membership of the Committee was
drawn from men and women of achievement and prominence in the various walks
of our national life who are of Spanish ethnic origin," Mr. Armendariz said.
"Implicit in the endorsement of such recognized political activists as
Anthony Quinn," he added, "is the recognition that Richard Nixon has, in the
past four years, shown, not in talk but in deeds, an unprecedented recog-
nition of the serious problems that beset large segments of our Spanish-
speaking population and a determination that positive steps must and shall
be taken to alleviate those problems."
Born in Mexico in 1912, Mr. Hidalgo received his B.A. from Holy Cross
College, graduating magna cum laude. He earned his Juris Doctorate from the
Columbia Law School and a degree in Civil Law from the National University
of Mexico.

Luis Ferre, active in politics in Puerto Rico for over twenty years and
a member of the Republican National Committee since 1964, is the Governor of
Puerto Rico.
Born in Chihuahua, Mexico in 1916, Anthony Quinn is internationally
acclaimed, both as an actor and as a political activist. He is a lifelong
Democrat. Quinn received an Academy Award in 1952 for his role in "Viva
Zapata" and in 1956 was selected as Best Supporting Actor for his role in
"Lust for Life." Quinn is recognized as one of the foremost crusaders for
civil rights and minority causes - particularly those affecting Chicanos.
"The Committee, composed of Republicans, Democrats and Independents,
manifests its confidence," Hidalgo said, "that the cause of the Spanish-
speaking people of our country is in safe hands with Richard Nixon and that
he will live up to his professed determination to do all in his power SO
that the Spanish-speaking people may play their equal part and receive their
equal share in the progress of our Nation."

EXCERPTS FROM REMARKS BY CLARK MacGREGOR
PREPARED FOR DELIVERY
AT THE RECEPTION DINNER OF
HERITAGE GROUPS FOR THE RE-ELECTION OF
THE PRESIDENT AND THE
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN HERITAGE GROUPS COUNCIL
KEY BRIDGE MARRIOTT, ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA
On Tuesday night, Senator George McGovern offered to the Communists
in Hanoi an American surrender on terms even the Communists themselves
have not demanded.
Not only would he, as President, halt all military re-supply of the
South Vietnamese Army, but, further, he would strip that nation of all
salvageable military equipment. That course would condemn our ally to
certain military defeat at the hands of the Communist enemy in the field,
armed and equipped by China and the Soviet Union.
Senator McGovern's plan would, in my judgment, amount to the greatest
single act of international dishonor ever committed by the United States.
It would not save our soul as a nation, as the Senator suggests. It
would not make Americans once again stand as a witness to the world for
what is noble and just in human affairs, as the Senator has stated.
Rather, that single act of betrayal would make America synonymous with
shame in Asia and untrustworthiness all over the world. The Senator has
called for an Asian Munich.

His hatred of the government in Saigon is not disguised. But,
regardless of the Senator's sentiments, that government is a fighting
ally of the United States; and not only to desert them, but to strip them
of the means to defend themselves would disgrace and dishonor this nation
before history and mankind.
In describing our enemy in Vietnam as simply a "tiny band of peasant
guerrillas" Senator McGovern betrays an incredible ignorance of the nature
of this conflict. This is not 1962; it is 1972. And the dozen North
Vietnamese divisions engaged in the current enemy offensive have long-
range artillery, rockets, tanks, armored vehicles, surface-to-air missiles
and field weapons every bit as sophisticated as our own. They carry with
them all the paraphernalia of a modern army of invasion. The air defense
over the North against which American pilots have to fly is among the
most technically advanced anywhere in the world.
For Senator McGovern to talk of a "tiny band of peasant guerrillas"
is to show a gross failure of understanding of the character of the present
Vietnam war.
Though the Senator finds tears to shed for the accidental victims of
American supportive efforts --- one finds none in his speech for the
deliberate victims of Communist atrocities. Though Senator McGovern can
find plenty of words to castigate our role in Asia and the government in
Saigon -- one finds in his speech no words of condemnation for the
Communist aggressors who have initiated this war, and who are solely
responsible for its continuance. There are no American armies or South
Vietnamese armies north of the DMZ -- there are Communist troops in Laos,
Communist troops in Cambodia and Communist troops in South Vietnam.

Senator McGovern offers this nation not a plan for peace, but a
prescription for an American surrender and a certain reign of terror
throughout South Vietnam. And he offers not a single guarantee -- other
than Communist goodwill -- that we will ever get our prisoners of war
back again.
His speech of Tuesday night was the most shameful address I have ever
heard delivered by a Senator of the United States.

SUBJECT:
Impressions from New Jersey
Over the weekend, as you know, I hit campaign breakfasts,
luncheons, dinners, cocktail parties, and local Re-elect head-
quarters opening in Warren, Morris, Bergen, Passaic, Sussex,
and Essex Counties. I have mixed impressions of the effort
being made in New Jersey on behalf of the President. Warren
County is no problem. The President carried it easily in '68
and will do so again. It is one of the least populated counties,
however, and will not help us a great deal in the overall state
picture. Tony Statile, the Bergen County Chairman, indicates
the President's margin in Bergen should be between 70, 000 and
90, 000 in that county. The President's margin in Bergen in
1968 was approximately 65, 000.
In Morris, which gave the President a 30, 000 vote margin
in 1968, the County Chairman is predicting 45, 000 -- 50, 000.
Most importantly, I think, is Essex County (in which Newark
is located). The President lost Essex County by better than
50, 000 votes in 1968. Dave Goldfarb, our Re-elect Chairman
in Essex, reports the distinct possibility of breaking even in
Essex. If all of these predictions are accurate -- or even close --
New Jersey is ours.
The other encouraging note I saw on the trip was the activity
in the Re-elect headquarters I visited. At 11:30 Saturday morning
the Morris County Re-elect people had 10 volunteers manning
their telephones for a telephone voter registration canvass. They
also had canvassers distributing literature in the major shopping
area in Morris County. They signed up 30 volunteers during the
one hour I was with them.
In Bergen County, where I addressed a group of 5, 000 (police
estimate, not mine), there was real enthusiasm for the President.
Each Republican County Chairman I spoke with indicated his
Democratic counterpart was virtually sitting on his hands as far
as the national ticket is concerned.
The disturbing element of the trip has to do with the lack of
supplies available to the state. Every county official and every
Re-elect official I talked with complained that they were unable
to provide their own people with materials because they could
not get them either from the state or from national Re-elect
headquarters.
It appears as if the Watergate is beginning to sink in, and is
causing some problems at least in New Jersey. I did receive
a number of questions not only on the Watergate, but on the
Russian grain deal, the effort being to equate the two and demon-
strate the Nixon Administration as one which gets involved in
deals.

STATEMENT BY CLARK MacGREGOR, CAMPAIGN DIRECTOR
According to the Gallup, Harris, Sindlinger, and Yankelovich polls,
the political elitist movement known as McGovernism is about to be
repudiated overwhelmingly by the American people. As it should be.
But, frustrated, twenty-six points behind in the polls, with three weeks
to go, George McGovern -- and his confederates -- are now engaging in the
"politics of desperation;" we are witnessing some of the dirtiest tactics
and hearing some of the most offensive language ever to appear in an
American Presidential campaign.
Lashing out wildly, George McGovern has compared the President of
the United States to Adolph Hitler, the Republican Party to the Ku Klux
Klan, and the United States Government to the Third Reich of Nazi Germany.
His personal assaults on the President have been characterized by such
terms as "most corrupt," "murderous," and "barbaric," and his running-
mate has served as an echo chamber.
And the WASHINGTON POST's credibility has today sunk lower than that
of George McGovern.
(more)
-2-
Using innuendo, third-person hearsay, unsubstantiated charges,
anonymous sources, and huge scare headlines -- the POST has maliciously
sought to give the appearance of a direct connection between the White
House and the Watergate - a charge which the POST knows -- and half a
dozen investigations have found -- to be false.
The hallmark of the POST's campaign is hypocrisy -- and its celebrated
"double standard" is teday visible for all to see.
Unproven charges by McGovern aides, or Senator Muskie, about alleged
campaign disruptions that occurred more than six months ago are invariably
given treatment normally accorded declarations of war -- while proven.
facts of opposition-incited disruptions of the President's campaign are
buried deep inside the paper. When McGovern headquarters in California
was used as a boiler room to rally hard-core anti-war militants to con-
front the President -- that was apparently of no significance to a
newspaper which has dispatched a platoon of reporters to investigate charges
that somebody sent two hundred pizzas to a Muskie rally last spring.
Why hasn't the WASHINGTON POST investigated --
The Molotov cocktail discovered on October 8th
at the door of the Newhall, California Nixon
Headquarters?
The extensive fire damage suffered September
17th to the Nixon headquarters in Hollywood,
California?
The arson of September 25th which caused
more than $100,000 in damage to the Nixon
headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona?
The extensive window breaking and other
trashing this fall at Nixon storefronts
in New York City; Arlington, Massachusetts;
and Los Angeles County?
(more)
-3-
While the POST itself openly and actively collaborated in the publica-
tion of stolen top secret documents of the Government of the United States
sixteen months ago -- today, it is faking shock and outrage at some obvious
volunteers who were allegedly spying on Larry O'Brien.
Like George McGovern, who personally encouraged Daniel Ellsberg to
commit the deed for which he faces a possible 115 years in a Federal
Penitentiary - the WASHINGTON POST is a hypocrite. While each crime is
reprehensible, which is the more serious? Stealing top secret documents
of the Government of the United States; or allegedly stealing Larry O'Brien's
political papers?
The purpose of the POST campaign is clear: To divert public and
national attention away from the real issues of this campaign -- peace,
jobs, foreign policy, welfare, taxes, defense and national priorities --
and onto the phony issues manufactured on L Street and in McGovern head-
quarters.
It is said that this is a dirty campaign, but all the dirt is being
thrown by only one side. The mud slinging, the name calling, the un-
substantiated charges, the innuendos, the guilt by association, the
character assassination, the second-hand hearsay are all tactics exclusively
employed by the McGovernites and their apologists. President Nixon will
remain on the high road, discussing issues of real concern to the American
people in a fair, forthright, and hard-hitting manner. The American
people will apply a single standard in judging the performance of Richard
Nixon and George McGovern, even though that essential fairness is not
exhibited by the WASHINGTON POST and a few others.
