19 No WH comment about a story In Boston Globe suggesting how RN could submit to questioning by Senate Comm w/out conflict w/Con- stitution. He suggests issue could be avoided if Comm is looked on as group of individuals rather than a Committee. #2 NBC story Sat from Wilmette, I11, high-income suburb which went 2-1 for RN in Nov. and 2 months ago had few who had opinions onW ater- gate. Hearings have changed that, said reporter and it's now 3-1 against RN. Number of man-on-street interviews reflected declining trust in RN and his choice of advisers. And several said it'd have changed their vote -- altho they weren't all sure if they could have voted for McG. One said he was afraid of McG -- and now he's afraid of RN. And Chalmers Roberts says his strongly GOP Amherst class of '33 is very dubious of RN's claims of non-involvement. McG campaign director Hart regrets Dems did not dig deeper into Watergate during campaign. However, he said after Eagleton had to be replaced, "we might as well have Hunt up Sur gloves. Stressing Watergate would have helped, but I doubt if it would've beat RN. Hart said Dem strategy now is to say as little as possible about Watergate. "Officially the line is we don't want to profit from a national tradegy, " he said, "You can translate that as let GOP stew in their. own juice. 11 An FBI Investigation of "dirty tricks" in Wisc primary apparently includes a probe into delays of some campaign mailings, Milwaukee Journal reported. HHH laughingly debunked idea on Meet the Press that GOP sabotage, etc hurt Dems very much. Internecine Dem rivalry and quotas, etc. was what did it - - GOP couldn't approach damage that caused, he said.
