Alice Widener
Very dear friend Jean Michaux -- a master of jurisprudence 0-
from Paris -- son and heir of Robert Michaux who was the
natural rubber king of the world
They are on a special tour of the White House at (9:15 AM
Tuesday -- they will call afterwards and come over to say
hello to RMW
(Mayflower - Room 691)
Please tell RMW something for me -- I XNXX in no sense will
join any Republican group of any kind that opposes the
President -- I will support the President all the way through --
I agree absolutely with Clare Boothe Luce that any movement by
Buckley, etc. is sophomoric. I am very furious and in no
point will I have my name associated -- this is a delicate
position for me because I have exceptional readership -- SO
many papers in the country carry my articles -- I am
absolutely all out in support for the President -- I will not
write one sentence or tolerate any use of my name not in
support of the President. I have just toured the whole U.S.
I have expressed myself among Republicans everywhere --
I intend to go on expressing myself.
I shall use every influence I have with -- I am afraid if
I attack openly in my own column some of the people who
have been friends and colleagues they may say "there goes
Alice Widener attacking her colleagues. " being the only
woman on the scene with millions of readers they will just
say "she is jealous -- she does not have a TV program."
I really think I could take them apart
I need some good advice from RMW -- I am thinking about
strategy -- I will not put my column in Wm. Loeb's
newspaper -- I declined years ago to do that.
I will go out and really fight if it is the right thing to do
On the other hand, maybe she will drop me a note and
give me her advice
I think the wisest would be to fight for the President and
leave the Republican colleagues alone -- to fight positively
for the President and what the President stands for -- and
not attack my colleagues -- if RMW agre4s with that she
would just need to drop me a line and say that is the wisest
thing to do.
