If the time passed until it was too late to beauer an

I feel that no one would be more grieved than you, your-
self. He has received not one but numerous decorations, in
ever ascending degrees, from every civilized country attespt his

l'Institut de France, Academie des Beaux Arts", than which there
is no higher award,
I am herevith submitting an "aide-mémoire" to the recom-
mundation of the Secretary of State. I believe that Crnandy is
of
the only musician-recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Arthur Rubinstein certainly ranks no lower in merit. He was C6
years old on January 26 and will be in this country throughout
the month of February. (I sent his schedule to Misc Moods for
your convenience.) It can only redound to your credit to
reco pize this man, great =s a person as well as a musical
gennus. This month may be the last chance. I beg of you to
provo American cultural values.
Ever faithfully,

Dear Mrs. Bacon:
The President was most appreciative of your concern that
he might have misconstrued the motive for your request
that he be a sponsor of the American Premier of "Death
in Venice. 11
He has asked me to tell you that you had no cause for such
concern, as he gratefully considers without question that
anything you propose will be motivated with his best interest
in mind.
The President also requested me to assure you that only
the pressures of his schedule and the necessity to adhere to his
strict policy of limiting participation in unofficial activities
precluded him from the pleasure of accepting your kind
invitation to participate in this most artistic and worthwhile
event.
With the best wishes of the President and Mrs. Nixon,

You will recall that I advised Mrs. Robert Low Bacon
last month that it would not be possible for the
President to be a patron for the showing of "Death in
Venice" for the benefit of the Washington Chapter of
the Venice Committee of the International Fund for
Monuments.
She has now written the attached letter to the

to this further request for him to be a patron.
Thanks.

Dear Mr. President,
This is just 2 line lest you misconstrued the motive for my
request of your patronage of the Benefit to be given by the
Chapter of the National Capital to save theimonuments of
Venice. You must know that it would never occur to me to
ask you for your name for "just another movie" or "just
another cause" however good, or indeed for anything
unprecedented or unpresidented. Both Presidents Johnson
and Kennedy have sponsored similar events.
My reasons were:
1. I did not like to see a woman, even though she be
a Queen, get the ONE-UPMANSHIP on you - the Queen
of Great Britain had a command performance of the
World Premiere - we have the all American, Western
Hemisphere Premiere - one night only.
2. This is not "just another movie" but annartistic
event. It is acclaimed as the masterpiece of
one of the three great Italian producers: Luchino
Visconti - a filming of Thomas Mann's classic
novella, "Death in Venice".
3. This is not"just another cause" but a question of
"life or death" for one of the jewels of the world.
All the major Governments of Europe have restored
monuments in Venice.
4. Considering Ital's mammoth contribution to the
Kennedy Center, your espousal of a Save Venice
Venture would certainly not go unnoticed by the
Italian voter in this country.
Therefore it was not only because your sponsorship would add
lustre to our Benefit but chiefly because it would also
redound to your credit that I asked you for it.
Your ever truly sincere,
Visine Bacon

SUBJECT:
Request of Mrs. Robert Low Bacon
I have confirmed from John Dear, as well as Lon Carment's
and Dwight Chapin's officer, that it is the general policy to
avoid direct involvement 47 the President and Invo. Mixon
in any fund-raising projects such as proposed by Mrs. Bacon.
Although there have been a for exceptions made to this policy
these have been kept to a minimum because of the obvious
difficulties they create in acclining subsequent invitations.
After a review of Mrs. Bacon's request, there lines not seem
to be sufficient instification to deviate from the policy, especially
since her organization's project is primarily for the purpose of
raising funds for the restoration of a chapel in Italy.
I have attached two forms of letters for your consideration in
responding to Mrs. Dacon. The short letter in A general form
used for requests; the longer one would probably be more
appropriate in Airc. Bacou's CRBO.
You might also want to use these forms for other similar requests
received.
Please advise if we can be of further assistance to you.

What is the score on Mr. Rubenstein?
Are we ever going to consider it or not - or do we know at
this time?
What shall we tell her -- or would you
like to talk with her if we have a good reason for not doing
this ? Apparently at some time or another the President did
tell her that he would be SO honored.

Dear Miss Woods:
As the President knows, this country,
Artur Rubenstein's own country, is the only one in the
'civilized world that has not given him the top honor
available. There has been insistent demand on the part
of all who know, that the United States should not do
less, in order to make up for this nation's seeming
lack of appreciation of eminence to the art world. We
expected the President to bestow this award last year
but the delay, due to his trips abroad, was under-
standable.
Now, however, Mr. Rubenstein is giving his
one and only concert here in Washington on Sunday
afternoon, November 26. He will be 87 years old in
January so it could be the last chance that we would
have to recognize his greatness.
I would appreciate it if you would call
this to the President's attention.
With best wishes to you,
Ever sincerely,
Virgine M. Bacon

As of December 12, Mr. and Mrs. Rubinstein planned to
leave for Europe around the 18th of January, although
Mrs. Bacon had been told earlier that they would leave
around the 20th.
I mentioned to Miss Ackers of your office
that Mr. Rubinstein's birthday is in January. For your
convenience now, may I repeat that it is January 28.
He will be 87 years old.
Mrs. Bacon feels that of course the
Rubinsteins would naturally be able to and most honored
to stay beyond their now scheduled departure date if
the President would be able to plan the award at this
time.

siderate and pleasant understanding and help,

to present the Medal of Freedom to him on his birthday
I told Mr. Cope I would pass this information along -- that you
had seen the note from his call on Friday and that like him you
did not feel there would be any way for the President to present
the Medal to Mr. Rubenstein during the week of the Inauguration

certainly possible that he would be able to stay in the country
for a week or so if this presentation could take place at

Dear Rogers:
I'm enclosing my personal check for $100. 00 (#1753, Michigan
Bank) in response to your very effective appeal letter which I received
a short time ago.
I'm happy to make this contribution to the 1970 Campaign Com-
mittee and I'm well aware from past experience that dollars contributed
today for next year's campaign are far more valuable than dollars
contributed during the last few weeks of the campaign.
I'm also most grateful for the excellent job which President Nixon
is doing under very difficult circumstances, and this more than any other
reason accounts for my contribution. I only wish that I could send more
at this time.
Warm personal regards,

Re: Your memo of December 15 - Vermont
Consuelo Bailey is adamantly opposed to most
anything done by Senator Aiken. Senator Aiken
is not the greatest Republican in the world
but he is the senior Senator from Vermont and
Bryce has to work with him. I don't know how
we can ever really satisfy her, but I feel
confident the Senator will have the say on the
Judgeships.
Nevertheless, I am sending all of this over to
the Attorney General.

Dear President Nixon:
Judgeship Second JudicialDistrict
There is to be a vacancy in the above named District as
Judge Sterry R. Paterman has indicated his resignation.
At the time when Judge James Oakes was appointed District
Judge here this year, many of us including Governor Deane C. Davis did all he could
for the appointment of Attorney John ". Dinse to the post. However, Senator Aiken
secured the appointment of Cakes. The latter was defeated for governor when Deane
Davis was elected. Your conclusion is correct that Aiken was a friend of Oakes and
the Senator never liked the National Life Insurance Company of which Deane was
President for many years. To Aiken the Vermont Marble and the National Life were
"Old Guard" ith Davis' election as governor, Aiken swallowed, by necessity, a very
bitter ill.
Mr. Dinse is exceedingly well qualified for the Circuit
Court-legally, temperamentally and judicially. John Bitchell has on file all of
Dinec's record. Both he and "r. Kliendenist are very well informed on the entire
situation. I talked with Mr. Mitchell in April and he said that it was a shame
that Dinse was not appointed, but in stronger terms, when Oakes was given the District
Judgeship.
The friends of Deane Davis, Dinse and many others will
deeply appreciate your kind offices in this matter. I hope this request may become
a fact.
I thought you might be interested in The Duke of mindsor's
comment about your great work. ALSO thank you so much for mentioning ne during
your nagnificient sreech here for the Covernor and Senator Prouty. They both
really needed you and your help was immeasurable. Several persons told me to tell
you when you were here that they pray for you every day. My sister was one of them.
Some day I would like to speak with you a few minutes.
With every good wish to you both, I an

Dear Mrs. Bailey :
I must apologise for the delay
in thanking you very much for your nice letter of
July 9 and for sending me a copy of the charming
lines of poetry you wrote at the time of your beloved
husband's passing. They are indeed touching and express
the true feelings of love and companionship in a
beautiful way.
Your reactions to my book
"A King's Story" are much appreciated and I am glad
to know that it gave you some enjoyment as well as
enlightenment as to what motivated my leaving Great
Britain.
I am interested to know of
your distinguished career in law and Republican
politics. I believe The President is doing a great
job despite all the terrible problems he inherited
/ and the sniping and criticism he gets from all quarters.
Thanking you again for writing
and with The Duchess of Windsor's and my best wishes
and warm regards.

It has been two "Lehi Rafts" and ten years ago since I last 31NTM from COFFICE you
You were kind enough to wish me a successful voyage on Lehi III. We finally
crossed the Pacific Ocean via raft on Lehi IV.
Because of the past interest you have shown in me, and my family, I have taken
the liberty of sending you a copy of your 1958 letter and a recent brochure on the
work of the Lehi.
We have just completed a 35 mm color movie spanning twenty years and five
Lehi rafts. It is ready for world-wide theatre release. The film is not only
filled with high adventure on the open sea, but takes one into the jungles of
Central America among the ruins of a people who came to America thousands
of years ago, built a high culture, and destroyed it by war. The locations include
much of Europe also. The story line is slanted through adventure and action,
toward the subject of world peace.
I must be in New York to be on an NBC television show in the very near future.
At that time, I would be most honored to show the film to you, your family, or
any interested group. The full length movie is entertaining and has an original
music score. It is timely as well as educational. As you can tell, we are proud
of our finished product.
As much as I appreciate the fact that your time is limited, I feel you would find
viewing "A Raft Called Lehi" to be a worthwhile experience.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
This will certify that I have known Captain
DeVere Baker during the time I was Governor of the State
of California, and over the years since I was Governor.
In all those years Captain Baker's one goal in life has
been to attain "World Peace. 11
He has produced a number of nationwide Television
Programs in pursuit of his goal -- "World Peace". These
films have always been of the highest moral quality for our
young people.
My best wishes go with him in his next six years
journey around the world on his RAFT -- "THE LEHI V"
which journey is being sponsored jointly by the Federal Govern-
ment and by the City of Oceanside, California, for the purpose
of conducting scientific experiments in Oceanography where the
ocean currents could have carried people thousands of years ago.
I highly recommend him in his pursuit of "World
Peace" in these troubled times.

'ROUND WORLD
ON A RAFT
By JIM BREZINA
Herald-Examiner Staff Writer
After four attempts to drift across the
Pacific Ocean in a raft to prove his theory
of population migration, DeVere Baker, 50,
of Oceanside finally completed the journey
in September, 1958.
Having floated for 69 days on Lehi IV -
the fourth raft he had built himself - Bak-
er and his crew of three men and a dog
landed at Hawaii, demonstrating that the
Polynesians could have drifted there from
the Western Hemisphere on a highway of
ocean currents ages ago.
Baker is now planning an even more
fantastic voyage. He has built a fifth raft,
Lehi V, named after a prophet in the Book
of Mormon who is supposed to have drifted
to America from the Persian Gulf about 600
B.C., according to Baker.
Baker plans to sail the raft around the
world, but his main purpose is a peace mis-
sion rather than a scientific one. He wants
to represent the U.S. as "Secretary of
Peace!"
An amateur anthropologist as well as
able seaman, shipbuilder, carpenter, flier,
metallurgist and lecturer, Baker also hopes
to prove a little known theory that a small

General Baker called yesterday about a conver-

Nixon thanked him for the use of his top coat during the 1960
campaign. At that time, General Baker said that he would see
that he received two of those when he became President. He put
aside a piece of vicuna, and wants to send his tailor down to
measure the President so that he might make him two top coats.
Would you check this out and then get back to
General Baker. He will be in Pennsylvania only until Saturday,
and then leaves for the Surf Club in Miami for the balance of the

Dear Bob:
Confirming our phone conversation yes-

the Valley Forge Military Academy Band and
Choir perform in concert for the pleasure of
President and Mrs. Nixon.
Both the Band and Choir have received
the accolades of great and small, and have long
been acknowledged as outstanding units of musical
excellence, unsurpassed throughout the United
States by comparable student and university
groups.
By the Spring of each year, both the
Band and Choir have reached a pinnacle of per-
fection, and it is consequently the time of year
when I prefer that they perform for the President.
I hope, therefore, that an open date in late
April or in May might be selected when it would
be the Academy s great honor and privilege to
present a Rose Garden Concert or a more informal
indoor salute to President and Mrs. Nixon.
With every best wish, I am,
Sincerely yours,

VALLEY FORGE MILITARY ACADEMY BAND
The Valley Forge Military Academy Band which has often been called
the "Philadelphia Orchestra of Military Bands," has performed for three U.S. Presidents,
royalty, and countless thousands in military and civic circles.
The 65-member unit led the Pennsylvania contingent in both of Presi-
dent Eisenhower's inaugural parades and has performed at the inaugurals of every Pennsylvania
governor since the founding of the Wayne, Pa., academy in 1928.
The band, directed by Colonel D.' Keith Feltham, maintains a busy
schedule playing a minimum of three times daily for corps formations at the Academy in addition
to regimental reviews, parades, six formal Academy concerts and many outside concerts for
civic and charitable organizations.
The outside engagements include regular trips to the Royal Military
College of Canada and the Pennsylvania National Horse Show in Harrisburg.
In the recent years Valley Forge Bands have made 11 high fidelity
and stereo record albums, pressed by RCA Victor and published by Recorded Publications Co.,
Camden, N. J The latest release, entitled "Valley Forge Fantasy" features both march and
concert music.
Bandsmen at Valley Forge are cadets of the corps who range in age
from 15 to 19 years. They are drawn from all over the Nation.

Colonel Feltham, who has served as bandmaster since 1949, is a
graduate of the Royal Military School of Music and had a distinguished career as a British
Army bandmaster before coming to this country.
In 1942 he and his regimental band were singularly honored by
being chosen to play for Her Majesty Queen Mother Mary at her birthday celebration. The
same band, under Colonel Feltham's direction, was the first to land on the beaches on
Normandy after "D-Day" and it continued to entertain soldiers from all over the world
on the fighting fronts of Europe throughout World War 11.

CHOIR/GLEE CLUB
The 90-voice choral group of the Valley Forge Military Academy and
Junior College is selected annually by audition from the 1, 200-member corps of cadets.
The versatility of the cadet vocalists is demonstrated by the fact that they sing both sacred
and secular music and act as both Choir and Glee Club for their Alma Mater. They sing
each Sunday for services in the Cadet Memorial Chapel of St. Cornelius the Centurion
and make numerous concert appearances on the campus.
Their varied repertoire runs the gamut from sacred polyphony to sea-
chantey, spiritual and folk-song, and their fine performances have earned for them an
enviable reputation which makes them in demand for concert appearances by churches,
colleges and civic and military organizations covering a wide geographic area.
This past year the cadets sang at the Academy of Music in Philadelphia
and were chosen to appear for the Golden Jubilee Celebration of Military Schools and
Colleges in Washington, D.C. They have sung for the Philadelphia Arts Festival, the
Broadcast Pioneers of America, and recently sang for the Poor Richard Club Gold Medal
Award Presentation.
For the past 12 years the cadets have sung annually at St. Thomas
Church in New York City, and have made numerous appearances in large churches of all
denominations in the Greater Philadelphia area.

They also sing often for official functions of the Episcopal Church. These
have included the installation of a bishop, annual services for the Episcopal Churchwomen,
and a special memorial service for Sir Winston Churchil!
Television appearances include an annual presentation of the Christmas
Story, and a video-tape for the Armed Forces Memorial Service.
In May, 1968, the Cadets were chosen to perform in a special concert
at Philharmonic Hall, Lincoln Center, in New York City.
The cadet singers have made three record albums: "Make a Joyful
Sound," "Sing Out, Ye Loyal Sons" and "The Spirit of the Forge."

have done. Baker feels he could do a good job as he has been
active in the ecumenical movement and he is not a Catholic.

"Please tell the President that I think what he did
to the bi-centennial was entirely accurate. Spreading it around
the country -- small units will be much more effective. I am
thinking back to 1926 which cost me a lot of money.
"We talked about a delegate to Rome. I think he
should seriously consider sending someone over as an Ambassador
Extra-Ordinary, not as a permanent person just now. I think many
of them could be swayed and come over to his side of the fence
because of that. I think he has everything to gain and nothing to
lose on that and he should send a Black Protestant - like me ! !!
General Baker's request (which had been passed along previously)
was again called to the President's attention and to Peter Flanigan's

Dear Bob,
I understand the President has appointed you, along
with Mr. R. P. Nathan of the Office of Management of the
Budget and Deputy Mayor Graham W. watt, to a special Com-
mittee to set priorities for the District of Columbia's
plans for the Bicentennial of the American Revolution.
The President appointed me last year to the Smith-
sonian Institution's National Armed Forces Museum Advisory
Board and I am most interested in the successful passage
of the Smithsonian's proposal to establish Bicentennial
Park. Not only will this project make an exciting con-
tribution to the Bicentennial commemoration at the national
level, it has great prospects for the future as a means of
keeping our country mindful of its heritage.
Hugh Scott has joined with Senators Anderson and
Bible in submitting S.2153 covering Bicentennial Park to
the Congress and Hugh has said he would speak to the
President on behalf of the legislation. A similar bill
H.R. 10311, was introduced in the House by Mr. Bow.
The proposed museum park is in keeping with the
President's oft expressed desire to rekindle a modern
Spirit of '76. I do hope that you and your committee can
add the prestige of your support to this important project.
with every best wish, I am,
Sincerely yours,

THIS PIPE IS MADE FROM PURE BLOCK MEERSCHAUM
Meerschaum is a stone or block mostly found and mined in Asia Minor. It is imbedded in red clay
and usually found 240 to 250 feet under the surface of the ground. Meerschaum is not a clay or mineral
but is organic in origin, being the fossilized remains of minute sea animals, like coral. These little
animals died many milions of years ago, and the remains of their shells were compressed by
earthquakes, washed over repeatedly by the ocean and by floods which deposited earth and rock on top
of them, and were moved and shifted by floods and successive glacial movements.
Today, the meerschaum is found only in Asia Minor, in sufficient quantity and of quality itable
for commercial use. Meerschaum is very light in weight and is one of the most porous substances
found in noture Consquently it absorbs nicotine and tobacco which are thus filtered in the meerschaum
pipe. During the millions of years, the outside part of the meerschaum stones or block has deteriorated
so far that only the kernel of sound meerschaum is left in the middle. The decomposed outer parts are
10 to 20 times the size of the sound kernel which is used for pipes.
HAND CARVED: Each pipe is deftly cut by hand and has its own character. It colors gradually as
it smoked, taking on a rich brown color with the years. The meerschaum is impregnated with wax
which helps to give it the beautiful velvety finish for whitch meerschaum pipes are famous. Each pipe
has its own individual character given to it by the artisan who made it All mouthpieces pipes are
fitted bone mountings.
HOW TO BREAK IN YOUR PIPE: A meerschaum pipe should be broken in the same manner as a
briar pipe. For the first few smokes, the pipe should be filled only half way and the tobacco not packed
too tightly. This way the outside of the bowl will color gradually from the bottom up, taking on an
even, rich brown tone for years of smoking pleasure. The smoker is cautioned not to touch the warm
bowl with his fingers as the moisture left there will affect the eventual coloring.

Dear Rose,
With all the important things about which
you have to be concerned, I would doubt
very much that the matter of my U.S./China
memento ever came to your attention.
But some months ago we sent to the Presi-
dent a pair of cuff links that bore a
design like the one on the sheet attached.
And they were very graciously acknowledged.
This was very gratifying to me, because
Metalphoto of Cleveland executed them from
a design I had sketched on a House Restau-
rant napkin one day when we were discussing
the President's bold announcement.
Our hope was that the President might find
them to be the answer to a need for a token
memento of this historic quest.
I expect they could still be had, perhaps
even with the date, or other notation, affixed.
And, needless to say, my only interest is
that it might contribute some small service
to this great cause.
My fondest regards, and best wishes,
