Dear Carl
you in
The time is getting short -- only a little over two months Perhaps you and others who very much want to see him elected can convince him that he should start selling his program and quit talking about something else Thousands of us wont be convinced by knocking negative arguments and thats for sure He should have learned this after all his years in politics but apparently he has not
Dont find fault with us luke-warm voters Get your candishydate to make like somebody we can be happy to vote for maybe even work for
Sincerely

Mr H R Haldeman 3908 Wilshire Boulevard Los Angeles 5 Cal ifornia
Dear Bob
You asked for any other ideas I might have so I am going to express them for whatever they are worth
I bel ieve that a good way to switch Democratic votes to Nixon might be to hit Wrown hard with the claim that he appears soft on Communism This could be backed up by Browns own statementsshysuch as a recent one in which he said that he considers the John Birch Society almost as great a threat as Communism That one can really be shot full of holes
I think that one of Browns claims about Nixon could be turned around to benefit Mr Nixon The claim I am referring to is that Nixon has been away from California too long to know Cal ifornias problems I bel ieve that Mr Nixon should stress the fact that Cal ifornia will soon become the most important state in the most important country in an extremely troubled world Californias problems are not all internal - they must be looked at from the perspective of our national and international position Mr Nixon is eminently more qual ified than Mr Brown to do this
You are stressing Nixons decisiveness which is an excellent idea I believe it would be beneficial to stress Browns indecisiveness It seemS to me that Browns popularity was at its lowest ebb while he was straddling the fence about Chessman If people can be reminded of this and other hesitations and hedging which he has gone through it should be beneficial
Please dont feel I am being critical I havent followed the campaign closely enough to know whether or not you are already stressing the things I am suggesting or whether these ideas would be of any value

We ~re gteatly disturled by the mounting cri tieism of him It is not too late for him to rectify mattera but he will certainly need tochan~e hi~ ta~tie8
Tf ever there were a Red Hfrringo the John Birch ~ociety is it Few pennIe know anything about the platform of the rDC the ADA an~the terrifvingo Liberal Papers
One of the consultants for the Liberal Papers Marcus Baskin has turn~d up at r~neva 88 an advisor to the United states disarmament delepationo

~~ H R Haldeman Campaign Manager Nixon for Governor 3908 Wilshire Boulevard Los Angeles California
Dear Mr Haldeman
We are writing to you regarding 1~ Nixons campaign for Governor which we fully sUPDort We would like to make the folloWing points concerning the conduct of the campaign
(1) We have not yet seen Mr Nixon take advantage of his appeal (obviously greater than that of Governor Brown) to the women voters of california Women will vote for him if he addresses himself tomiddotthem using his natural appeal and forcefulness in such a way that they feel good because they support him Women will vote for him if he presents issues of specific interest and concern to them and if he presents himself as an appealing figure to them so that they are encouraged to support him without weak-kneed pleas from him for their assistance
(2) We have not yet seen Mr Nixon take Governor Brown to task over each and every stupid ill-timed idea he presents ie (an old idea) the abolition of capital punishment during the Chessman case when public sentiment was strongly against Chessman or (a new idea) the abolition of boXing in California when our public either likes or tolerates this sport and when Mr Parett was dying in New York of injuries from the Parett-Griffith fight while Governor Brown was making a play ~or pUblicity capitalizing upon this poor mans misfortune
D) Ne hope that Mr Nixon will not again be caught using the term carpetbaggers against the opposition in Washington This is emphatically in order but attacks must be made with more sUbtlety For example ideas may be crackpot but subtler terms such as unwarranted bids for publicity or ideas contrary to the welfare of the people are less apt to be ruthlessly attacked and capitalized upon by members of the opposition
With our best wishes to you and our hopes for t~ Nixons complete success we are

Att Robert Haldeman
Dear Mr Haldeman I oalled your offioe and you happened to be out so I talked to Mr
Turner and I thought I would pursue my telephone oonversation Just a little farther I referred Mr Turner to an artiole in the L08 Angeles Times of February 27 Half of the artiole I feel hit the nail right on the head but the other half took a slap at Mr Robert Weloh head of the John Biroh Sooiety Mr Haldeman as far as I am ooncerned I play the game to win and I feel that unless Mr Nixon stops being so high and mighty he is going to lose this election - andthis one we need real badly I know that Mr Nixons point is to disassooiate himself with tije John Biroh Sooiety but anyone with a grain of sense should know that they are not going to get off his baok one minute with the John Biroh Sooiety During the Presidential oampaign he oontinually tried to disassociate himself with CatholooisID and the Kennedy orowd saw to it that that never happened I feel that if an important dioishysion would arise then he oould comment on the John Biroh Sooiety beoause there are a lot of dedioated people at this point who are siok and tired of what has been going on and they are perhaps grabbing at straws They adopt the attitude Love me love my dog You never hear Governor Brown or Attorney General Mosk take a slap at the Amerioan Demooratio Assooiation or the radioal left wing I am not saying that they are tied in with this group but what I am saying is that they are not going to make these radioal left wingers mad enough not to get their votes
I will oontinue to do my little part in Temp City to try and upgrade the people who will be representing UB

suamer i 0 g liThe big prison II (Aug 028) and trBerlin is not theb~
sic issue Nobody could express the -situation bettet
You will reply perhaps - full of horror - that it would be a
real sin to risk the existence of the globe eventually because I
of Berlin - May I answer By our experiences with dictators we
knowthat every yielding mak~stheir appetite grow and tinally
leads to warwhereas every fir~ stand makes them take their

gone back and not have exposed themselves before all the world
as ivar mongers It was done by Ulbricht t s Vopos and not by Iiitssionsoldiersin fact-s~l~ething wouLd go wrong Ulbricht ~---
could be blamed
You must know that our mental depression is without limits
We feel hopeless aud f~ll of ~rustrating fury and deep mourn
when we thinkof our families and tricnds on the other side
There was a word said that pr-ec t t caLfy Ulbricht took what he
had already What an error and completely false judgement about
the situation -
Until August 13 there has been - though~ witft risk of life aud
property and loss of fanrily and friends - the always last
desperate possibili ty of the night into freedom In all
opprestion and t9rture - think of the conscience torments of
youngstels teachers j ministers j to speak only of some groups shy
there has been the saving hopefUl light of Berlins beacon

West Berlin write an importantB letter to children have a

will be a firm will to secure them General Clay will be tbe

But ac DavLd Lawr-ence says Berlin is not the basic issue
for them~ the ~ims are much higher and fo~seeing
To make the si t ua t Lon clear I must go back ror some general r emarks Ih I s torn und is t r arrg e character what fs the remainder
of the old Germany developed from a 7 divided country (today 4)~ the f our occupation Zones American 1 Bri tkj sh French Ru s s Lan ~

Nevertheless the Po t sdam treaty anrted Germany to be considered
as an economic uni t including also transportation and traffic
so that the Berlin connections were no doubtful problem techshy

Dear Mr Haldeman
I would like to start something I do hope that you and Mr Nixon will help me
To introduce myself - I am and have been a citizen of California since 1886
Being in yours and Mr Nixons mothers bracket I have seen many political campaigns
Of late and (perhaps earlier) they have slid down the stairs to the position of James M Barries ---- Tommy who at 3 with a companion of like vintage were on a stairway arguing their respective importance Said the companion My father were once at a hanging to which Tommy retorted My father were the man that were hanged
Now I find that though I come of a long-time politically minded family campaigns are becoming boresome Moreover I discover that a good many of my friends do not even listen To correct this sad situation my big idea---shy
This is the age of spaceT----- I see a space craft land A man steps from it and round him gather nearby people He does not know where he is or anything of this new land The inhabitants inform him that he is in the most beautiful of the fifty states of the USA Subsequently he learns that they need a leader He has no idea nor is he informed that there is an incumbent With leadership in mind he travels the state makes surveys of needs resources men and means and then makes suggestions of improvements and offers himself as a guide
There is absolutely no mention made of any opposition as to men or ideas He simply offers himself and his ideas (perhaps gleaned from outer space) and awaits the decision of the inhabitants
I think a campaign with a total blank in words as to anything but constructive thinking would draw the eyes and ears of all the people (and maybe the moon)
SIncerely (Miss) Mary R Marsh
PS The space man seeming to be totally deaf to any blasts or even words from opposition

Dear Carl
you in
The time is getting short -- only a little over two months Perhaps you and others who very much want to see him elected can convince him that he should start selling his program and quit talking about something else Thousands of us wont be convinced by knocking negative arguments and thats for sure He should have learned this after all his years in politics but apparently he has not
Dont find fault with us luke-warm voters Get your candishydate to make like somebody we can be happy to vote for maybe even work for

Mr H R Haldeman 3908 Wilshire Boulevard Los Angeles 5 Cal ifornia
Dear Bob
You asked for any other ideas I might have so I am going to express them for whatever they are worth
I bel ieve that a good way to switch Democratic votes to Nixon might be to hit Wrown hard with the claim that he appears soft on Communism This could be backed up by Browns own statementsshysuch as a recent one in which he said that he considers the John Birch Society almost as great a threat as Communism That one can really be shot full of holes
I think that one of Browns claims about Nixon could be turned around to benefit Mr Nixon The claim I am referring to is that Nixon has been away from California too long to know Cal ifornias problems I bel ieve that Mr Nixon should stress the fact that Cal ifornia will soon become the most important state in the most important country in an extremely troubled world Californias problems are not all internal - they must be looked at from the perspective of our national and international position Mr Nixon is eminently more qual ified than Mr Brown to do this
You are stressing Nixons decisiveness which is an excellent idea I believe it would be beneficial to stress Browns indecisiveness It seemS to me that Browns popularity was at its lowest ebb while he was straddling the fence about Chessman If people can be reminded of this and other hesitations and hedging which he has gone through it should be beneficial
Please dont feel I am being critical I havent followed the campaign closely enough to know whether or not you are already stressing the things I am suggesting or whether these ideas would be of any value

~~ H R Haldeman Campaign Manager Nixon for Governor 3908 Wilshire Boulevard Los Angeles California
Dear Mr Haldeman
We are writing to you regarding 1~ Nixons campaign for Governor which we fully sUPDort We would like to make the folloWing points concerning the conduct of the campaign
(1) We have not yet seen Mr Nixon take advantage of his appeal (obviously greater than that of Governor Brown) to the women voters of california Women will vote for him if he addresses himself tomiddotthem using his natural appeal and forcefulness in such a way that they feel good because they support him Women will vote for him if he presents issues of specific interest and concern to them and if he presents himself as an appealing figure to them so that they are encouraged to support him without weak-kneed pleas from him for their assistance
(2) We have not yet seen Mr Nixon take Governor Brown to task over each and every stupid ill-timed idea he presents ie (an old idea) the abolition of capital punishment during the Chessman case when public sentiment was strongly against Chessman or (a new idea) the abolition of boXing in California when our public either likes or tolerates this sport and when Mr Parett was dying in New York of injuries from the Parett-Griffith fight while Governor Brown was making a play ~or pUblicity capitalizing upon this poor mans misfortune
D) Ne hope that Mr Nixon will not again be caught using the term carpetbaggers against the opposition in Washington This is emphatically in order but attacks must be made with more sUbtlety For example ideas may be crackpot but subtler terms such as unwarranted bids for publicity or ideas contrary to the welfare of the people are less apt to be ruthlessly attacked and capitalized upon by members of the opposition
With our best wishes to you and our hopes for t~ Nixons complete success we are

Att Robert Haldeman
Dear Mr Haldeman I oalled your offioe and you happened to be out so I talked to Mr
Turner and I thought I would pursue my telephone oonversation Just a little farther I referred Mr Turner to an artiole in the L08 Angeles Times of February 27 Half of the artiole I feel hit the nail right on the head but the other half took a slap at Mr Robert Weloh head of the John Biroh Sooiety Mr Haldeman as far as I am ooncerned I play the game to win and I feel that unless Mr Nixon stops being so high and mighty he is going to lose this election - andthis one we need real badly I know that Mr Nixons point is to disassooiate himself with tije John Biroh Sooiety but anyone with a grain of sense should know that they are not going to get off his baok one minute with the John Biroh Sooiety During the Presidential oampaign he oontinually tried to disassociate himself with CatholooisID and the Kennedy orowd saw to it that that never happened I feel that if an important dioishysion would arise then he oould comment on the John Biroh Sooiety beoause there are a lot of dedioated people at this point who are siok and tired of what has been going on and they are perhaps grabbing at straws They adopt the attitude Love me love my dog You never hear Governor Brown or Attorney General Mosk take a slap at the Amerioan Demooratio Assooiation or the radioal left wing I am not saying that they are tied in with this group but what I am saying is that they are not going to make these radioal left wingers mad enough not to get their votes
I will oontinue to do my little part in Temp City to try and upgrade the people who will be representing UB

enough to take the risksII as the risl has not been taken in
this very case c-lease do read what David Lawrence said in his UoSoNews and World Report in many excellent articles this
suamer i 0 g liThe big prison II (Aug 028) and trBerlin is not theb~
sic issue Nobody could express the -situation bettet
You will reply perhaps - full of horror - that it would be a
real sin to risk the existence of the globe eventually because I
of Berlin - May I answer By our experiences with dictators we
knowthat every yielding mak~stheir appetite grow and tinally
leads to warwhereas every fir~ stand makes them take their

and here in the night of Augst 13thev would have yielded and ~~~~IJi-
gone back and not have exposed themselves before all the world
as ivar mongers It was done by Ulbricht t s Vopos and not by Iiitssionsoldiersin fact-s~l~ething wouLd go wrong Ulbricht ~---
could be blamed
You must know that our mental depression is without limits
We feel hopeless aud f~ll of ~rustrating fury and deep mourn
when we thinkof our families and tricnds on the other side
There was a word said that pr-ec t t caLfy Ulbricht took what he
had already What an error and completely false judgement about
the situation -
Until August 13 there has been - though~ witft risk of life aud
property and loss of fanrily and friends - the always last
desperate possibili ty of the night into freedom In all
opprestion and t9rture - think of the conscience torments of
youngstels teachers j ministers j to speak only of some groups shy
there has been the saving hopefUl light of Berlins beacon
Th~ poor discourageO soul coul~ eventually for a day go over to
West Berlin write an importantB letter to children have a
phone-call to friends ill very lucky cases even meet a child
(hOli often could lie finance flights to Berlin from here for
the children t) 0 01 they read a newspaper only and could go home

speak of the last desperate at t empt s of flight - that

This is one thing that change~basicly and the consequence

will aurv i ve and the a t rways fi 11 r emai n safe 01s long a Ls there
will be a firm will to secure them General Clay will be tbe
garant
But ac DavLd Lawr-ence says Berlin is not the basic issue
for them~ the ~ims are much higher and fo~seeing
To make the si t ua t Lon clear I must go back ror some general r emarks Ih I s torn und is t r arrg e character what fs the remainder
of the old Germany developed from a 7 divided country (today 4)~ the f our occupation Zones American 1 Bri tkj sh French Ru s s Lan ~

the ~2~~ anci divided Into four zones) and the country behind
the Oder-Neisse-line given under Polishadministraiion part

Nevertheless the Po t sdam treaty anrted Germany to be considered
as an economic uni t including also transportation and traffic
so that the Berlin connections were no doubtful problem techshy

Dear Mr Haldeman
I would like to start something I do hope that you and Mr Nixon will help me
To introduce myself - I am and have been a citizen of California since 1886
Being in yours and Mr Nixons mothers bracket I have seen many political campaigns
Of late and (perhaps earlier) they have slid down the stairs to the position of James M Barries ---- Tommy who at 3 with a companion of like vintage were on a stairway arguing their respective importance Said the companion My father were once at a hanging to which Tommy retorted My father were the man that were hanged
Now I find that though I come of a long-time politically minded family campaigns are becoming boresome Moreover I discover that a good many of my friends do not even listen To correct this sad situation my big idea---shy
This is the age of spaceT----- I see a space craft land A man steps from it and round him gather nearby people He does not know where he is or anything of this new land The inhabitants inform him that he is in the most beautiful of the fifty states of the USA Subsequently he learns that they need a leader He has no idea nor is he informed that there is an incumbent With leadership in mind he travels the state makes surveys of needs resources men and means and then makes suggestions of improvements and offers himself as a guide
There is absolutely no mention made of any opposition as to men or ideas He simply offers himself and his ideas (perhaps gleaned from outer space) and awaits the decision of the inhabitants
I think a campaign with a total blank in words as to anything but constructive thinking would draw the eyes and ears of all the people (and maybe the moon)
SIncerely (Miss) Mary R Marsh
PS The space man seeming to be totally deaf to any blasts or even words from opposition

you in
The time is getting short -- only a little over two months Perhaps you and others who very much want to see him elected can convince him that he should start selling his program and quit talking about something else Thousands of us wont be convinced by knocking negative arguments and thats for sure He should have learned this after all his years in politics but apparently he has not
Dont find fault with us luke-warm voters Get your candishydate to make like somebody we can be happy to vote for maybe even work for

Mr H R Haldeman 3908 Wilshire Boulevard Los Angeles 5 Cal ifornia
Dear Bob
You asked for any other ideas I might have so I am going to express them for whatever they are worth
I bel ieve that a good way to switch Democratic votes to Nixon might be to hit Wrown hard with the claim that he appears soft on Communism This could be backed up by Browns own statementsshysuch as a recent one in which he said that he considers the John Birch Society almost as great a threat as Communism That one can really be shot full of holes
I think that one of Browns claims about Nixon could be turned around to benefit Mr Nixon The claim I am referring to is that Nixon has been away from California too long to know Cal ifornias problems I bel ieve that Mr Nixon should stress the fact that Cal ifornia will soon become the most important state in the most important country in an extremely troubled world Californias problems are not all internal - they must be looked at from the perspective of our national and international position Mr Nixon is eminently more qual ified than Mr Brown to do this
You are stressing Nixons decisiveness which is an excellent idea I believe it would be beneficial to stress Browns indecisiveness It seemS to me that Browns popularity was at its lowest ebb while he was straddling the fence about Chessman If people can be reminded of this and other hesitations and hedging which he has gone through it should be beneficial
Please dont feel I am being critical I havent followed the campaign closely enough to know whether or not you are already stressing the things I am suggesting or whether these ideas would be of any value

~~ H R Haldeman Campaign Manager Nixon for Governor 3908 Wilshire Boulevard Los Angeles California
Dear Mr Haldeman
We are writing to you regarding 1~ Nixons campaign for Governor which we fully sUPDort We would like to make the folloWing points concerning the conduct of the campaign
(1) We have not yet seen Mr Nixon take advantage of his appeal (obviously greater than that of Governor Brown) to the women voters of california Women will vote for him if he addresses himself tomiddotthem using his natural appeal and forcefulness in such a way that they feel good because they support him Women will vote for him if he presents issues of specific interest and concern to them and if he presents himself as an appealing figure to them so that they are encouraged to support him without weak-kneed pleas from him for their assistance
(2) We have not yet seen Mr Nixon take Governor Brown to task over each and every stupid ill-timed idea he presents ie (an old idea) the abolition of capital punishment during the Chessman case when public sentiment was strongly against Chessman or (a new idea) the abolition of boXing in California when our public either likes or tolerates this sport and when Mr Parett was dying in New York of injuries from the Parett-Griffith fight while Governor Brown was making a play ~or pUblicity capitalizing upon this poor mans misfortune
D) Ne hope that Mr Nixon will not again be caught using the term carpetbaggers against the opposition in Washington This is emphatically in order but attacks must be made with more sUbtlety For example ideas may be crackpot but subtler terms such as unwarranted bids for publicity or ideas contrary to the welfare of the people are less apt to be ruthlessly attacked and capitalized upon by members of the opposition
With our best wishes to you and our hopes for t~ Nixons complete success we are

Att Robert Haldeman
Dear Mr Haldeman I oalled your offioe and you happened to be out so I talked to Mr
Turner and I thought I would pursue my telephone oonversation Just a little farther I referred Mr Turner to an artiole in the L08 Angeles Times of February 27 Half of the artiole I feel hit the nail right on the head but the other half took a slap at Mr Robert Weloh head of the John Biroh Sooiety Mr Haldeman as far as I am ooncerned I play the game to win and I feel that unless Mr Nixon stops being so high and mighty he is going to lose this election - andthis one we need real badly I know that Mr Nixons point is to disassooiate himself with tije John Biroh Sooiety but anyone with a grain of sense should know that they are not going to get off his baok one minute with the John Biroh Sooiety During the Presidential oampaign he oontinually tried to disassociate himself with CatholooisID and the Kennedy orowd saw to it that that never happened I feel that if an important dioishysion would arise then he oould comment on the John Biroh Sooiety beoause there are a lot of dedioated people at this point who are siok and tired of what has been going on and they are perhaps grabbing at straws They adopt the attitude Love me love my dog You never hear Governor Brown or Attorney General Mosk take a slap at the Amerioan Demooratio Assooiation or the radioal left wing I am not saying that they are tied in with this group but what I am saying is that they are not going to make these radioal left wingers mad enough not to get their votes
I will oontinue to do my little part in Temp City to try and upgrade the people who will be representing UB

enough to take the risksII as the risl has not been taken in

suamer i 0 g liThe big prison II (Aug 028) and trBerlin is not theb~
sic issue Nobody could express the -situation bettet
You will reply perhaps - full of horror - that it would be a
real sin to risk the existence of the globe eventually because I
of Berlin - May I answer By our experiences with dictators we
knowthat every yielding mak~stheir appetite grow and tinally
leads to warwhereas every fir~ stand makes them take their

of the ~agnificent effect of the Berlin airlift 19~9o And now
and here in the night of Augst 13thev would have yielded and ~~~~IJi-
gone back and not have exposed themselves before all the world
as ivar mongers It was done by Ulbricht t s Vopos and not by Iiitssionsoldiersin fact-s~l~ething wouLd go wrong Ulbricht ~---
could be blamed
You must know that our mental depression is without limits
We feel hopeless aud f~ll of ~rustrating fury and deep mourn
when we thinkof our families and tricnds on the other side
There was a word said that pr-ec t t caLfy Ulbricht took what he
had already What an error and completely false judgement about
the situation -
Until August 13 there has been - though~ witft risk of life aud
property and loss of fanrily and friends - the always last
desperate possibili ty of the night into freedom In all
opprestion and t9rture - think of the conscience torments of
youngstels teachers j ministers j to speak only of some groups shy
there has been the saving hopefUl light of Berlins beacon
Th~ poor discourageO soul coul~ eventually for a day go over to
West Berlin write an importantB letter to children have a
phone-call to friends ill very lucky cases even meet a child
(hOli often could lie finance flights to Berlin from here for
the children t) 0 01 they read a newspaper only and could go home

speak of the last desperate at t empt s of flight - that

This is one thing that change~basicly and the consequence

will aurv i ve and the a t rways fi 11 r emai n safe 01s long a Ls there
will be a firm will to secure them General Clay will be tbe
garant
But ac DavLd Lawr-ence says Berlin is not the basic issue
for them~ the ~ims are much higher and fo~seeing
To make the si t ua t Lon clear I must go back ror some general r emarks Ih I s torn und is t r arrg e character what fs the remainder
of the old Germany developed from a 7 divided country (today 4)~ the f our occupation Zones American 1 Bri tkj sh French Ru s s Lan ~

the ~2~~ anci divided Into four zones) and the country behind
the Oder-Neisse-line given under Polishadministraiion part

Nevertheless the Po t sdam treaty anrted Germany to be considered
as an economic uni t including also transportation and traffic
so that the Berlin connections were no doubtful problem techshy

Dear Mr Haldeman
I would like to start something I do hope that you and Mr Nixon will help me
To introduce myself - I am and have been a citizen of California since 1886
Being in yours and Mr Nixons mothers bracket I have seen many political campaigns
Of late and (perhaps earlier) they have slid down the stairs to the position of James M Barries ---- Tommy who at 3 with a companion of like vintage were on a stairway arguing their respective importance Said the companion My father were once at a hanging to which Tommy retorted My father were the man that were hanged
Now I find that though I come of a long-time politically minded family campaigns are becoming boresome Moreover I discover that a good many of my friends do not even listen To correct this sad situation my big idea---shy
This is the age of spaceT----- I see a space craft land A man steps from it and round him gather nearby people He does not know where he is or anything of this new land The inhabitants inform him that he is in the most beautiful of the fifty states of the USA Subsequently he learns that they need a leader He has no idea nor is he informed that there is an incumbent With leadership in mind he travels the state makes surveys of needs resources men and means and then makes suggestions of improvements and offers himself as a guide
There is absolutely no mention made of any opposition as to men or ideas He simply offers himself and his ideas (perhaps gleaned from outer space) and awaits the decision of the inhabitants
I think a campaign with a total blank in words as to anything but constructive thinking would draw the eyes and ears of all the people (and maybe the moon)
SIncerely (Miss) Mary R Marsh
PS The space man seeming to be totally deaf to any blasts or even words from opposition

you in
The time is getting short -- only a little over two months Perhaps you and others who very much want to see him elected can convince him that he should start selling his program and quit talking about something else Thousands of us wont be convinced by knocking negative arguments and thats for sure He should have learned this after all his years in politics but apparently he has not
Dont find fault with us luke-warm voters Get your candishydate to make like somebody we can be happy to vote for maybe even work for

Mr H R Haldeman 3908 Wilshire Boulevard Los Angeles 5 Cal ifornia
Dear Bob
You asked for any other ideas I might have so I am going to express them for whatever they are worth
I bel ieve that a good way to switch Democratic votes to Nixon might be to hit Wrown hard with the claim that he appears soft on Communism This could be backed up by Browns own statementsshysuch as a recent one in which he said that he considers the John Birch Society almost as great a threat as Communism That one can really be shot full of holes
I think that one of Browns claims about Nixon could be turned around to benefit Mr Nixon The claim I am referring to is that Nixon has been away from California too long to know Cal ifornias problems I bel ieve that Mr Nixon should stress the fact that Cal ifornia will soon become the most important state in the most important country in an extremely troubled world Californias problems are not all internal - they must be looked at from the perspective of our national and international position Mr Nixon is eminently more qual ified than Mr Brown to do this
You are stressing Nixons decisiveness which is an excellent idea I believe it would be beneficial to stress Browns indecisiveness It seemS to me that Browns popularity was at its lowest ebb while he was straddling the fence about Chessman If people can be reminded of this and other hesitations and hedging which he has gone through it should be beneficial
Please dont feel I am being critical I havent followed the campaign closely enough to know whether or not you are already stressing the things I am suggesting or whether these ideas would be of any value

~~ H R Haldeman Campaign Manager Nixon for Governor 3908 Wilshire Boulevard Los Angeles California
Dear Mr Haldeman
We are writing to you regarding 1~ Nixons campaign for Governor which we fully sUPDort We would like to make the folloWing points concerning the conduct of the campaign
(1) We have not yet seen Mr Nixon take advantage of his appeal (obviously greater than that of Governor Brown) to the women voters of california Women will vote for him if he addresses himself tomiddotthem using his natural appeal and forcefulness in such a way that they feel good because they support him Women will vote for him if he presents issues of specific interest and concern to them and if he presents himself as an appealing figure to them so that they are encouraged to support him without weak-kneed pleas from him for their assistance
(2) We have not yet seen Mr Nixon take Governor Brown to task over each and every stupid ill-timed idea he presents ie (an old idea) the abolition of capital punishment during the Chessman case when public sentiment was strongly against Chessman or (a new idea) the abolition of boXing in California when our public either likes or tolerates this sport and when Mr Parett was dying in New York of injuries from the Parett-Griffith fight while Governor Brown was making a play ~or pUblicity capitalizing upon this poor mans misfortune
D) Ne hope that Mr Nixon will not again be caught using the term carpetbaggers against the opposition in Washington This is emphatically in order but attacks must be made with more sUbtlety For example ideas may be crackpot but subtler terms such as unwarranted bids for publicity or ideas contrary to the welfare of the people are less apt to be ruthlessly attacked and capitalized upon by members of the opposition
With our best wishes to you and our hopes for t~ Nixons complete success we are

Att Robert Haldeman
Dear Mr Haldeman I oalled your offioe and you happened to be out so I talked to Mr
Turner and I thought I would pursue my telephone oonversation Just a little farther I referred Mr Turner to an artiole in the L08 Angeles Times of February 27 Half of the artiole I feel hit the nail right on the head but the other half took a slap at Mr Robert Weloh head of the John Biroh Sooiety Mr Haldeman as far as I am ooncerned I play the game to win and I feel that unless Mr Nixon stops being so high and mighty he is going to lose this election - andthis one we need real badly I know that Mr Nixons point is to disassooiate himself with tije John Biroh Sooiety but anyone with a grain of sense should know that they are not going to get off his baok one minute with the John Biroh Sooiety During the Presidential oampaign he oontinually tried to disassociate himself with CatholooisID and the Kennedy orowd saw to it that that never happened I feel that if an important dioishysion would arise then he oould comment on the John Biroh Sooiety beoause there are a lot of dedioated people at this point who are siok and tired of what has been going on and they are perhaps grabbing at straws They adopt the attitude Love me love my dog You never hear Governor Brown or Attorney General Mosk take a slap at the Amerioan Demooratio Assooiation or the radioal left wing I am not saying that they are tied in with this group but what I am saying is that they are not going to make these radioal left wingers mad enough not to get their votes
I will oontinue to do my little part in Temp City to try and upgrade the people who will be representing UB

enough to take the risksII as the risl has not been taken in

suamer i 0 g liThe big prison II (Aug 028) and trBerlin is not theb~
sic issue Nobody could express the -situation bettet
You will reply perhaps - full of horror - that it would be a
real sin to risk the existence of the globe eventually because I
of Berlin - May I answer By our experiences with dictators we
knowthat every yielding mak~stheir appetite grow and tinally
leads to warwhereas every fir~ stand makes them take their

of the ~agnificent effect of the Berlin airlift 19~9o And now
and here in the night of Augst 13thev would have yielded and ~~~~IJi-
gone back and not have exposed themselves before all the world
as ivar mongers It was done by Ulbricht t s Vopos and not by Iiitssionsoldiersin fact-s~l~ething wouLd go wrong Ulbricht ~---
could be blamed
You must know that our mental depression is without limits
We feel hopeless aud f~ll of ~rustrating fury and deep mourn
when we thinkof our families and tricnds on the other side
There was a word said that pr-ec t t caLfy Ulbricht took what he
had already What an error and completely false judgement about
the situation -
Until August 13 there has been - though~ witft risk of life aud
property and loss of fanrily and friends - the always last
desperate possibili ty of the night into freedom In all
opprestion and t9rture - think of the conscience torments of
youngstels teachers j ministers j to speak only of some groups shy
there has been the saving hopefUl light of Berlins beacon
Th~ poor discourageO soul coul~ eventually for a day go over to
West Berlin write an importantB letter to children have a
phone-call to friends ill very lucky cases even meet a child
(hOli often could lie finance flights to Berlin from here for
the children t) 0 01 they read a newspaper only and could go home

speak of the last desperate at t empt s of flight - that

This is one thing that change~basicly and the consequence

will aurv i ve and the a t rways fi 11 r emai n safe 01s long a Ls there
will be a firm will to secure them General Clay will be tbe
garant
But ac DavLd Lawr-ence says Berlin is not the basic issue
for them~ the ~ims are much higher and fo~seeing
To make the si t ua t Lon clear I must go back ror some general r emarks Ih I s torn und is t r arrg e character what fs the remainder
of the old Germany developed from a 7 divided country (today 4)~ the f our occupation Zones American 1 Bri tkj sh French Ru s s Lan ~

the ~2~~ anci divided Into four zones) and the country behind
the Oder-Neisse-line given under Polishadministraiion part

Nevertheless the Po t sdam treaty anrted Germany to be considered
as an economic uni t including also transportation and traffic
so that the Berlin connections were no doubtful problem techshy

Dear Mr Haldeman
I would like to start something I do hope that you and Mr Nixon will help me
To introduce myself - I am and have been a citizen of California since 1886
Being in yours and Mr Nixons mothers bracket I have seen many political campaigns
Of late and (perhaps earlier) they have slid down the stairs to the position of James M Barries ---- Tommy who at 3 with a companion of like vintage were on a stairway arguing their respective importance Said the companion My father were once at a hanging to which Tommy retorted My father were the man that were hanged
Now I find that though I come of a long-time politically minded family campaigns are becoming boresome Moreover I discover that a good many of my friends do not even listen To correct this sad situation my big idea---shy
This is the age of spaceT----- I see a space craft land A man steps from it and round him gather nearby people He does not know where he is or anything of this new land The inhabitants inform him that he is in the most beautiful of the fifty states of the USA Subsequently he learns that they need a leader He has no idea nor is he informed that there is an incumbent With leadership in mind he travels the state makes surveys of needs resources men and means and then makes suggestions of improvements and offers himself as a guide
There is absolutely no mention made of any opposition as to men or ideas He simply offers himself and his ideas (perhaps gleaned from outer space) and awaits the decision of the inhabitants
I think a campaign with a total blank in words as to anything but constructive thinking would draw the eyes and ears of all the people (and maybe the moon)
SIncerely (Miss) Mary R Marsh
PS The space man seeming to be totally deaf to any blasts or even words from opposition

Dear Carl
you in
The time is getting short -- only a little over two months Perhaps you and others who very much want to see him elected can convince him that he should start selling his program and quit talking about something else Thousands of us wont be convinced by knocking negative arguments and thats for sure He should have learned this after all his years in politics but apparently he has not
Dont find fault with us luke-warm voters Get your candishydate to make like somebody we can be happy to vote for maybe even work for

Mr H R Haldeman 3908 Wilshire Boulevard Los Angeles 5 Cal ifornia
Dear Bob
You asked for any other ideas I might have so I am going to express them for whatever they are worth
I bel ieve that a good way to switch Democratic votes to Nixon might be to hit Wrown hard with the claim that he appears soft on Communism This could be backed up by Browns own statementsshysuch as a recent one in which he said that he considers the John Birch Society almost as great a threat as Communism That one can really be shot full of holes
I think that one of Browns claims about Nixon could be turned around to benefit Mr Nixon The claim I am referring to is that Nixon has been away from California too long to know Cal ifornias problems I bel ieve that Mr Nixon should stress the fact that Cal ifornia will soon become the most important state in the most important country in an extremely troubled world Californias problems are not all internal - they must be looked at from the perspective of our national and international position Mr Nixon is eminently more qual ified than Mr Brown to do this
You are stressing Nixons decisiveness which is an excellent idea I believe it would be beneficial to stress Browns indecisiveness It seemS to me that Browns popularity was at its lowest ebb while he was straddling the fence about Chessman If people can be reminded of this and other hesitations and hedging which he has gone through it should be beneficial
Please dont feel I am being critical I havent followed the campaign closely enough to know whether or not you are already stressing the things I am suggesting or whether these ideas would be of any value

~~ H R Haldeman Campaign Manager Nixon for Governor 3908 Wilshire Boulevard Los Angeles California
Dear Mr Haldeman
We are writing to you regarding 1~ Nixons campaign for Governor which we fully sUPDort We would like to make the folloWing points concerning the conduct of the campaign
(1) We have not yet seen Mr Nixon take advantage of his appeal (obviously greater than that of Governor Brown) to the women voters of california Women will vote for him if he addresses himself tomiddotthem using his natural appeal and forcefulness in such a way that they feel good because they support him Women will vote for him if he presents issues of specific interest and concern to them and if he presents himself as an appealing figure to them so that they are encouraged to support him without weak-kneed pleas from him for their assistance
(2) We have not yet seen Mr Nixon take Governor Brown to task over each and every stupid ill-timed idea he presents ie (an old idea) the abolition of capital punishment during the Chessman case when public sentiment was strongly against Chessman or (a new idea) the abolition of boXing in California when our public either likes or tolerates this sport and when Mr Parett was dying in New York of injuries from the Parett-Griffith fight while Governor Brown was making a play ~or pUblicity capitalizing upon this poor mans misfortune
D) Ne hope that Mr Nixon will not again be caught using the term carpetbaggers against the opposition in Washington This is emphatically in order but attacks must be made with more sUbtlety For example ideas may be crackpot but subtler terms such as unwarranted bids for publicity or ideas contrary to the welfare of the people are less apt to be ruthlessly attacked and capitalized upon by members of the opposition
With our best wishes to you and our hopes for t~ Nixons complete success we are

Att Robert Haldeman
Dear Mr Haldeman I oalled your offioe and you happened to be out so I talked to Mr
Turner and I thought I would pursue my telephone oonversation Just a little farther I referred Mr Turner to an artiole in the L08 Angeles Times of February 27 Half of the artiole I feel hit the nail right on the head but the other half took a slap at Mr Robert Weloh head of the John Biroh Sooiety Mr Haldeman as far as I am ooncerned I play the game to win and I feel that unless Mr Nixon stops being so high and mighty he is going to lose this election - andthis one we need real badly I know that Mr Nixons point is to disassooiate himself with tije John Biroh Sooiety but anyone with a grain of sense should know that they are not going to get off his baok one minute with the John Biroh Sooiety During the Presidential oampaign he oontinually tried to disassociate himself with CatholooisID and the Kennedy orowd saw to it that that never happened I feel that if an important dioishysion would arise then he oould comment on the John Biroh Sooiety beoause there are a lot of dedioated people at this point who are siok and tired of what has been going on and they are perhaps grabbing at straws They adopt the attitude Love me love my dog You never hear Governor Brown or Attorney General Mosk take a slap at the Amerioan Demooratio Assooiation or the radioal left wing I am not saying that they are tied in with this group but what I am saying is that they are not going to make these radioal left wingers mad enough not to get their votes
I will oontinue to do my little part in Temp City to try and upgrade the people who will be representing UB

enough to take the risksII as the risl has not been taken in

suamer i 0 g liThe big prison II (Aug 028) and trBerlin is not theb~
sic issue Nobody could express the -situation bettet
You will reply perhaps - full of horror - that it would be a
real sin to risk the existence of the globe eventually because I
of Berlin - May I answer By our experiences with dictators we
knowthat every yielding mak~stheir appetite grow and tinally
leads to warwhereas every fir~ stand makes them take their

and here in the night of Augst 13thev would have yielded and ~~~~IJi-
gone back and not have exposed themselves before all the world
as ivar mongers It was done by Ulbricht t s Vopos and not by Iiitssionsoldiersin fact-s~l~ething wouLd go wrong Ulbricht ~---
could be blamed
You must know that our mental depression is without limits
We feel hopeless aud f~ll of ~rustrating fury and deep mourn
when we thinkof our families and tricnds on the other side
There was a word said that pr-ec t t caLfy Ulbricht took what he
had already What an error and completely false judgement about
the situation -
Until August 13 there has been - though~ witft risk of life aud
property and loss of fanrily and friends - the always last
desperate possibili ty of the night into freedom In all
opprestion and t9rture - think of the conscience torments of
youngstels teachers j ministers j to speak only of some groups shy
there has been the saving hopefUl light of Berlins beacon
Th~ poor discourageO soul coul~ eventually for a day go over to
West Berlin write an importantB letter to children have a
phone-call to friends ill very lucky cases even meet a child
(hOli often could lie finance flights to Berlin from here for
the children t) 0 01 they read a newspaper only and could go home

speak of the last desperate at t empt s of flight - that
over Berlin has lost her s opranat LnnaI nleaninglls the only

This is one thing that change~basicly and the consequence

will aurv i ve and the a t rways fi 11 r emai n safe 01s long a Ls there
will be a firm will to secure them General Clay will be tbe
garant
But ac DavLd Lawr-ence says Berlin is not the basic issue
for them~ the ~ims are much higher and fo~seeing
To make the si t ua t Lon clear I must go back ror some general r emarks Ih I s torn und is t r arrg e character what fs the remainder
of the old Germany developed from a 7 divided country (today 4)~ the f our occupation Zones American 1 Bri tkj sh French Ru s s Lan ~

the ~2~~ anci divided Into four zones) and the country behind
the Oder-Neisse-line given under Polishadministraiion part
in the North even under 30vietian one
Nevertheless the Po t sdam treaty anrted Germany to be considered
as an economic uni t including also transportation and traffic
so that the Berlin connections were no doubtful problem techshy

the blockade and were confirllleJafterards There should be no) bull reason to make them a speeial point for negotiations

Dear Mr Haldeman
I would like to start something I do hope that you and Mr Nixon will help me
To introduce myself - I am and have been a citizen of California since 1886
Being in yours and Mr Nixons mothers bracket I have seen many political campaigns
Of late and (perhaps earlier) they have slid down the stairs to the position of James M Barries ---- Tommy who at 3 with a companion of like vintage were on a stairway arguing their respective importance Said the companion My father were once at a hanging to which Tommy retorted My father were the man that were hanged
Now I find that though I come of a long-time politically minded family campaigns are becoming boresome Moreover I discover that a good many of my friends do not even listen To correct this sad situation my big idea---shy
This is the age of spaceT----- I see a space craft land A man steps from it and round him gather nearby people He does not know where he is or anything of this new land The inhabitants inform him that he is in the most beautiful of the fifty states of the USA Subsequently he learns that they need a leader He has no idea nor is he informed that there is an incumbent With leadership in mind he travels the state makes surveys of needs resources men and means and then makes suggestions of improvements and offers himself as a guide
There is absolutely no mention made of any opposition as to men or ideas He simply offers himself and his ideas (perhaps gleaned from outer space) and awaits the decision of the inhabitants
I think a campaign with a total blank in words as to anything but constructive thinking would draw the eyes and ears of all the people (and maybe the moon)
SIncerely (Miss) Mary R Marsh
PS The space man seeming to be totally deaf to any blasts or even words from opposition

Mr H R Haldeman 3908 Wilshire Boulevard Los Angeles 5 Cal ifornia
Dear Bob
You asked for any other ideas I might have so I am going to express them for whatever they are worth
I bel ieve that a good way to switch Democratic votes to Nixon might be to hit Wrown hard with the claim that he appears soft on Communism This could be backed up by Browns own statementsshysuch as a recent one in which he said that he considers the John Birch Society almost as great a threat as Communism That one can really be shot full of holes
I think that one of Browns claims about Nixon could be turned around to benefit Mr Nixon The claim I am referring to is that Nixon has been away from California too long to know Cal ifornias problems I bel ieve that Mr Nixon should stress the fact that Cal ifornia will soon become the most important state in the most important country in an extremely troubled world Californias problems are not all internal - they must be looked at from the perspective of our national and international position Mr Nixon is eminently more qual ified than Mr Brown to do this
You are stressing Nixons decisiveness which is an excellent idea I believe it would be beneficial to stress Browns indecisiveness It seemS to me that Browns popularity was at its lowest ebb while he was straddling the fence about Chessman If people can be reminded of this and other hesitations and hedging which he has gone through it should be beneficial
Please dont feel I am being critical I havent followed the campaign closely enough to know whether or not you are already stressing the things I am suggesting or whether these ideas would be of any value

~~ H R Haldeman Campaign Manager Nixon for Governor 3908 Wilshire Boulevard Los Angeles California
Dear Mr Haldeman
We are writing to you regarding 1~ Nixons campaign for Governor which we fully sUPDort We would like to make the folloWing points concerning the conduct of the campaign
(1) We have not yet seen Mr Nixon take advantage of his appeal (obviously greater than that of Governor Brown) to the women voters of california Women will vote for him if he addresses himself tomiddotthem using his natural appeal and forcefulness in such a way that they feel good because they support him Women will vote for him if he presents issues of specific interest and concern to them and if he presents himself as an appealing figure to them so that they are encouraged to support him without weak-kneed pleas from him for their assistance
(2) We have not yet seen Mr Nixon take Governor Brown to task over each and every stupid ill-timed idea he presents ie (an old idea) the abolition of capital punishment during the Chessman case when public sentiment was strongly against Chessman or (a new idea) the abolition of boXing in California when our public either likes or tolerates this sport and when Mr Parett was dying in New York of injuries from the Parett-Griffith fight while Governor Brown was making a play ~or pUblicity capitalizing upon this poor mans misfortune
D) Ne hope that Mr Nixon will not again be caught using the term carpetbaggers against the opposition in Washington This is emphatically in order but attacks must be made with more sUbtlety For example ideas may be crackpot but subtler terms such as unwarranted bids for publicity or ideas contrary to the welfare of the people are less apt to be ruthlessly attacked and capitalized upon by members of the opposition
With our best wishes to you and our hopes for t~ Nixons complete success we are

Att Robert Haldeman
Dear Mr Haldeman I oalled your offioe and you happened to be out so I talked to Mr
Turner and I thought I would pursue my telephone oonversation Just a little farther I referred Mr Turner to an artiole in the L08 Angeles Times of February 27 Half of the artiole I feel hit the nail right on the head but the other half took a slap at Mr Robert Weloh head of the John Biroh Sooiety Mr Haldeman as far as I am ooncerned I play the game to win and I feel that unless Mr Nixon stops being so high and mighty he is going to lose this election - andthis one we need real badly I know that Mr Nixons point is to disassooiate himself with tije John Biroh Sooiety but anyone with a grain of sense should know that they are not going to get off his baok one minute with the John Biroh Sooiety During the Presidential oampaign he oontinually tried to disassociate himself with CatholooisID and the Kennedy orowd saw to it that that never happened I feel that if an important dioishysion would arise then he oould comment on the John Biroh Sooiety beoause there are a lot of dedioated people at this point who are siok and tired of what has been going on and they are perhaps grabbing at straws They adopt the attitude Love me love my dog You never hear Governor Brown or Attorney General Mosk take a slap at the Amerioan Demooratio Assooiation or the radioal left wing I am not saying that they are tied in with this group but what I am saying is that they are not going to make these radioal left wingers mad enough not to get their votes
I will oontinue to do my little part in Temp City to try and upgrade the people who will be representing UB

suamer i 0 g liThe big prison II (Aug 028) and trBerlin is not theb~
sic issue Nobody could express the -situation bettet
You will reply perhaps - full of horror - that it would be a
real sin to risk the existence of the globe eventually because I
of Berlin - May I answer By our experiences with dictators we
knowthat every yielding mak~stheir appetite grow and tinally
leads to warwhereas every fir~ stand makes them take their

gone back and not have exposed themselves before all the world
as ivar mongers It was done by Ulbricht t s Vopos and not by Iiitssionsoldiersin fact-s~l~ething wouLd go wrong Ulbricht ~---
could be blamed
You must know that our mental depression is without limits
We feel hopeless aud f~ll of ~rustrating fury and deep mourn
when we thinkof our families and tricnds on the other side
There was a word said that pr-ec t t caLfy Ulbricht took what he
had already What an error and completely false judgement about
the situation -
Until August 13 there has been - though~ witft risk of life aud
property and loss of fanrily and friends - the always last
desperate possibili ty of the night into freedom In all
opprestion and t9rture - think of the conscience torments of
youngstels teachers j ministers j to speak only of some groups shy
there has been the saving hopefUl light of Berlins beacon
Th~ poor discourageO soul coul~ eventually for a day go over to
West Berlin write an importantB letter to children have a
phone-call to friends ill very lucky cases even meet a child
(hOli often could lie finance flights to Berlin from here for
the children t) 0 01 they read a newspaper only and could go home

speak of the last desperate at t empt s of flight - that
over Berlin has lost her s opranat LnnaI nleaninglls the only

This is one thing that change~basicly and the consequence

will be a firm will to secure them General Clay will be tbe

But ac DavLd Lawr-ence says Berlin is not the basic issue
for them~ the ~ims are much higher and fo~seeing
To make the si t ua t Lon clear I must go back ror some general r emarks Ih I s torn und is t r arrg e character what fs the remainder
of the old Germany developed from a 7 divided country (today 4)~ the f our occupation Zones American 1 Bri tkj sh French Ru s s Lan ~

the ~2~~ anci divided Into four zones) and the country behind
the Oder-Neisse-line given under Polishadministraiion part

Nevertheless the Po t sdam treaty anrted Germany to be considered
as an economic uni t including also transportation and traffic
so that the Berlin connections were no doubtful problem techshy

Mr Robert Haldeman Nixon Headquarters Los Angeles California
Dear Mr Haldeman
I would like to start something I do hope that you and Mr Nixon will help me
To introduce myself - I am and have been a citizen of California since 1886
Being in yours and Mr Nixons mothers bracket I have seen many political campaigns
Of late and (perhaps earlier) they have slid down the stairs to the position of James M Barries ---- Tommy who at 3 with a companion of like vintage were on a stairway arguing their respective importance Said the companion My father were once at a hanging to which Tommy retorted My father were the man that were hanged
Now I find that though I come of a long-time politically minded family campaigns are becoming boresome Moreover I discover that a good many of my friends do not even listen To correct this sad situation my big idea---shy
This is the age of spaceT----- I see a space craft land A man steps from it and round him gather nearby people He does not know where he is or anything of this new land The inhabitants inform him that he is in the most beautiful of the fifty states of the USA Subsequently he learns that they need a leader He has no idea nor is he informed that there is an incumbent With leadership in mind he travels the state makes surveys of needs resources men and means and then makes suggestions of improvements and offers himself as a guide
There is absolutely no mention made of any opposition as to men or ideas He simply offers himself and his ideas (perhaps gleaned from outer space) and awaits the decision of the inhabitants
I think a campaign with a total blank in words as to anything but constructive thinking would draw the eyes and ears of all the people (and maybe the moon)
SIncerely (Miss) Mary R Marsh
PS The space man seeming to be totally deaf to any blasts or even words from opposition

The time is getting short -- only a little over two months Perhaps you and others who very much want to see him elected can convince him that he should start selling his program and quit talking about something else Thousands of us wont be convinced by knocking negative arguments and thats for sure He should have learned this after all his years in politics but apparently he has not

Dear Bob
You asked for any other ideas I might have so I am going to express them for whatever they are worth
I bel ieve that a good way to switch Democratic votes to Nixon might be to hit Wrown hard with the claim that he appears soft on Communism This could be backed up by Browns own statementsshysuch as a recent one in which he said that he considers the John Birch Society almost as great a threat as Communism That one can really be shot full of holes
I think that one of Browns claims about Nixon could be turned around to benefit Mr Nixon The claim I am referring to is that Nixon has been away from California too long to know Cal ifornias problems I bel ieve that Mr Nixon should stress the fact that Cal ifornia will soon become the most important state in the most important country in an extremely troubled world Californias problems are not all internal - they must be looked at from the perspective of our national and international position Mr Nixon is eminently more qual ified than Mr Brown to do this
You are stressing Nixons decisiveness which is an excellent idea I believe it would be beneficial to stress Browns indecisiveness It seemS to me that Browns popularity was at its lowest ebb while he was straddling the fence about Chessman If people can be reminded of this and other hesitations and hedging which he has gone through it should be beneficial
Please dont feel I am being critical I havent followed the campaign closely enough to know whether or not you are already stressing the things I am suggesting or whether these ideas would be of any value

~~ H R Haldeman Campaign Manager Nixon for Governor 3908 Wilshire Boulevard Los Angeles California
Dear Mr Haldeman
We are writing to you regarding 1~ Nixons campaign for Governor which we fully sUPDort We would like to make the folloWing points concerning the conduct of the campaign
(1) We have not yet seen Mr Nixon take advantage of his appeal (obviously greater than that of Governor Brown) to the women voters of california Women will vote for him if he addresses himself tomiddotthem using his natural appeal and forcefulness in such a way that they feel good because they support him Women will vote for him if he presents issues of specific interest and concern to them and if he presents himself as an appealing figure to them so that they are encouraged to support him without weak-kneed pleas from him for their assistance
(2) We have not yet seen Mr Nixon take Governor Brown to task over each and every stupid ill-timed idea he presents ie (an old idea) the abolition of capital punishment during the Chessman case when public sentiment was strongly against Chessman or (a new idea) the abolition of boXing in California when our public either likes or tolerates this sport and when Mr Parett was dying in New York of injuries from the Parett-Griffith fight while Governor Brown was making a play ~or pUblicity capitalizing upon this poor mans misfortune
D) Ne hope that Mr Nixon will not again be caught using the term carpetbaggers against the opposition in Washington This is emphatically in order but attacks must be made with more sUbtlety For example ideas may be crackpot but subtler terms such as unwarranted bids for publicity or ideas contrary to the welfare of the people are less apt to be ruthlessly attacked and capitalized upon by members of the opposition
With our best wishes to you and our hopes for t~ Nixons complete success we are

Att Robert Haldeman
Dear Mr Haldeman I oalled your offioe and you happened to be out so I talked to Mr
Turner and I thought I would pursue my telephone oonversation Just a little farther I referred Mr Turner to an artiole in the L08 Angeles Times of February 27 Half of the artiole I feel hit the nail right on the head but the other half took a slap at Mr Robert Weloh head of the John Biroh Sooiety Mr Haldeman as far as I am ooncerned I play the game to win and I feel that unless Mr Nixon stops being so high and mighty he is going to lose this election - andthis one we need real badly I know that Mr Nixons point is to disassooiate himself with tije John Biroh Sooiety but anyone with a grain of sense should know that they are not going to get off his baok one minute with the John Biroh Sooiety During the Presidential oampaign he oontinually tried to disassociate himself with CatholooisID and the Kennedy orowd saw to it that that never happened I feel that if an important dioishysion would arise then he oould comment on the John Biroh Sooiety beoause there are a lot of dedioated people at this point who are siok and tired of what has been going on and they are perhaps grabbing at straws They adopt the attitude Love me love my dog You never hear Governor Brown or Attorney General Mosk take a slap at the Amerioan Demooratio Assooiation or the radioal left wing I am not saying that they are tied in with this group but what I am saying is that they are not going to make these radioal left wingers mad enough not to get their votes

You will reply perhaps - full of horror - that it would be a
real sin to risk the existence of the globe eventually because I
of Berlin - May I answer By our experiences with dictators we

could be blamed
You must know that our mental depression is without limits
We feel hopeless aud f~ll of ~rustrating fury and deep mourn
when we thinkof our families and tricnds on the other side
There was a word said that pr-ec t t caLfy Ulbricht took what he
had already What an error and completely false judgement about
the situation -
Until August 13 there has been - though~ witft risk of life aud
property and loss of fanrily and friends - the always last
desperate possibili ty of the night into freedom In all
opprestion and t9rture - think of the conscience torments of
youngstels teachers j ministers j to speak only of some groups shy

will be a firm will to secure them General Clay will be tbe

But ac DavLd Lawr-ence says Berlin is not the basic issue
for them~ the ~ims are much higher and fo~seeing
To make the si t ua t Lon clear I must go back ror some general r emarks Ih I s torn und is t r arrg e character what fs the remainder
of the old Germany developed from a 7 divided country (today 4)~ the f our occupation Zones American 1 Bri tkj sh French Ru s s Lan ~

Nevertheless the Po t sdam treaty anrted Germany to be considered
as an economic uni t including also transportation and traffic
so that the Berlin connections were no doubtful problem techshy

Dear Mr Haldeman
I would like to start something I do hope that you and Mr Nixon will help me
To introduce myself - I am and have been a citizen of California since 1886
Being in yours and Mr Nixons mothers bracket I have seen many political campaigns
Of late and (perhaps earlier) they have slid down the stairs to the position of James M Barries ---- Tommy who at 3 with a companion of like vintage were on a stairway arguing their respective importance Said the companion My father were once at a hanging to which Tommy retorted My father were the man that were hanged
Now I find that though I come of a long-time politically minded family campaigns are becoming boresome Moreover I discover that a good many of my friends do not even listen To correct this sad situation my big idea---shy
This is the age of spaceT----- I see a space craft land A man steps from it and round him gather nearby people He does not know where he is or anything of this new land The inhabitants inform him that he is in the most beautiful of the fifty states of the USA Subsequently he learns that they need a leader He has no idea nor is he informed that there is an incumbent With leadership in mind he travels the state makes surveys of needs resources men and means and then makes suggestions of improvements and offers himself as a guide
There is absolutely no mention made of any opposition as to men or ideas He simply offers himself and his ideas (perhaps gleaned from outer space) and awaits the decision of the inhabitants
I think a campaign with a total blank in words as to anything but constructive thinking would draw the eyes and ears of all the people (and maybe the moon)
SIncerely (Miss) Mary R Marsh
PS The space man seeming to be totally deaf to any blasts or even words from opposition

Dear Carl
you in
The time is getting short -- only a little over two months Perhaps you and others who very much want to see him elected can convince him that he should start selling his program and quit talking about something else Thousands of us wont be convinced by knocking negative arguments and thats for sure He should have learned this after all his years in politics but apparently he has not
Dont find fault with us luke-warm voters Get your candishydate to make like somebody we can be happy to vote for maybe even work for

Dear Bob
You asked for any other ideas I might have so I am going to express them for whatever they are worth
I bel ieve that a good way to switch Democratic votes to Nixon might be to hit Wrown hard with the claim that he appears soft on Communism This could be backed up by Browns own statementsshysuch as a recent one in which he said that he considers the John Birch Society almost as great a threat as Communism That one can really be shot full of holes
I think that one of Browns claims about Nixon could be turned around to benefit Mr Nixon The claim I am referring to is that Nixon has been away from California too long to know Cal ifornias problems I bel ieve that Mr Nixon should stress the fact that Cal ifornia will soon become the most important state in the most important country in an extremely troubled world Californias problems are not all internal - they must be looked at from the perspective of our national and international position Mr Nixon is eminently more qual ified than Mr Brown to do this
You are stressing Nixons decisiveness which is an excellent idea I believe it would be beneficial to stress Browns indecisiveness It seemS to me that Browns popularity was at its lowest ebb while he was straddling the fence about Chessman If people can be reminded of this and other hesitations and hedging which he has gone through it should be beneficial
Please dont feel I am being critical I havent followed the campaign closely enough to know whether or not you are already stressing the things I am suggesting or whether these ideas would be of any value

~~ H R Haldeman Campaign Manager Nixon for Governor 3908 Wilshire Boulevard Los Angeles California
Dear Mr Haldeman
We are writing to you regarding 1~ Nixons campaign for Governor which we fully sUPDort We would like to make the folloWing points concerning the conduct of the campaign
(1) We have not yet seen Mr Nixon take advantage of his appeal (obviously greater than that of Governor Brown) to the women voters of california Women will vote for him if he addresses himself tomiddotthem using his natural appeal and forcefulness in such a way that they feel good because they support him Women will vote for him if he presents issues of specific interest and concern to them and if he presents himself as an appealing figure to them so that they are encouraged to support him without weak-kneed pleas from him for their assistance
(2) We have not yet seen Mr Nixon take Governor Brown to task over each and every stupid ill-timed idea he presents ie (an old idea) the abolition of capital punishment during the Chessman case when public sentiment was strongly against Chessman or (a new idea) the abolition of boXing in California when our public either likes or tolerates this sport and when Mr Parett was dying in New York of injuries from the Parett-Griffith fight while Governor Brown was making a play ~or pUblicity capitalizing upon this poor mans misfortune
D) Ne hope that Mr Nixon will not again be caught using the term carpetbaggers against the opposition in Washington This is emphatically in order but attacks must be made with more sUbtlety For example ideas may be crackpot but subtler terms such as unwarranted bids for publicity or ideas contrary to the welfare of the people are less apt to be ruthlessly attacked and capitalized upon by members of the opposition
With our best wishes to you and our hopes for t~ Nixons complete success we are

Dear Mr Haldeman I oalled your offioe and you happened to be out so I talked to Mr
Turner and I thought I would pursue my telephone oonversation Just a little farther I referred Mr Turner to an artiole in the L08 Angeles Times of February 27 Half of the artiole I feel hit the nail right on the head but the other half took a slap at Mr Robert Weloh head of the John Biroh Sooiety Mr Haldeman as far as I am ooncerned I play the game to win and I feel that unless Mr Nixon stops being so high and mighty he is going to lose this election - andthis one we need real badly I know that Mr Nixons point is to disassooiate himself with tije John Biroh Sooiety but anyone with a grain of sense should know that they are not going to get off his baok one minute with the John Biroh Sooiety During the Presidential oampaign he oontinually tried to disassociate himself with CatholooisID and the Kennedy orowd saw to it that that never happened I feel that if an important dioishysion would arise then he oould comment on the John Biroh Sooiety beoause there are a lot of dedioated people at this point who are siok and tired of what has been going on and they are perhaps grabbing at straws They adopt the attitude Love me love my dog You never hear Governor Brown or Attorney General Mosk take a slap at the Amerioan Demooratio Assooiation or the radioal left wing I am not saying that they are tied in with this group but what I am saying is that they are not going to make these radioal left wingers mad enough not to get their votes

You will reply perhaps - full of horror - that it would be a
real sin to risk the existence of the globe eventually because I
of Berlin - May I answer By our experiences with dictators we
knowthat every yielding mak~stheir appetite grow and tinally

could be blamed
You must know that our mental depression is without limits
We feel hopeless aud f~ll of ~rustrating fury and deep mourn
when we thinkof our families and tricnds on the other side
There was a word said that pr-ec t t caLfy Ulbricht took what he
had already What an error and completely false judgement about
the situation -
Until August 13 there has been - though~ witft risk of life aud
property and loss of fanrily and friends - the always last
desperate possibili ty of the night into freedom In all
opprestion and t9rture - think of the conscience torments of
youngstels teachers j ministers j to speak only of some groups shy
there has been the saving hopefUl light of Berlins beacon

West Berlin write an importantB letter to children have a
phone-call to friends ill very lucky cases even meet a child

Dear Mr Haldeman
I would like to start something I do hope that you and Mr Nixon will help me
To introduce myself - I am and have been a citizen of California since 1886
Being in yours and Mr Nixons mothers bracket I have seen many political campaigns
Of late and (perhaps earlier) they have slid down the stairs to the position of James M Barries ---- Tommy who at 3 with a companion of like vintage were on a stairway arguing their respective importance Said the companion My father were once at a hanging to which Tommy retorted My father were the man that were hanged
Now I find that though I come of a long-time politically minded family campaigns are becoming boresome Moreover I discover that a good many of my friends do not even listen To correct this sad situation my big idea---shy
This is the age of spaceT----- I see a space craft land A man steps from it and round him gather nearby people He does not know where he is or anything of this new land The inhabitants inform him that he is in the most beautiful of the fifty states of the USA Subsequently he learns that they need a leader He has no idea nor is he informed that there is an incumbent With leadership in mind he travels the state makes surveys of needs resources men and means and then makes suggestions of improvements and offers himself as a guide
There is absolutely no mention made of any opposition as to men or ideas He simply offers himself and his ideas (perhaps gleaned from outer space) and awaits the decision of the inhabitants
I think a campaign with a total blank in words as to anything but constructive thinking would draw the eyes and ears of all the people (and maybe the moon)
SIncerely (Miss) Mary R Marsh
PS The space man seeming to be totally deaf to any blasts or even words from opposition

Dear Bob
You asked for any other ideas I might have so I am going to express them for whatever they are worth
I bel ieve that a good way to switch Democratic votes to Nixon might be to hit Wrown hard with the claim that he appears soft on Communism This could be backed up by Browns own statementsshysuch as a recent one in which he said that he considers the John Birch Society almost as great a threat as Communism That one can really be shot full of holes
I think that one of Browns claims about Nixon could be turned around to benefit Mr Nixon The claim I am referring to is that Nixon has been away from California too long to know Cal ifornias problems I bel ieve that Mr Nixon should stress the fact that Cal ifornia will soon become the most important state in the most important country in an extremely troubled world Californias problems are not all internal - they must be looked at from the perspective of our national and international position Mr Nixon is eminently more qual ified than Mr Brown to do this
You are stressing Nixons decisiveness which is an excellent idea I believe it would be beneficial to stress Browns indecisiveness It seemS to me that Browns popularity was at its lowest ebb while he was straddling the fence about Chessman If people can be reminded of this and other hesitations and hedging which he has gone through it should be beneficial
Please dont feel I am being critical I havent followed the campaign closely enough to know whether or not you are already stressing the things I am suggesting or whether these ideas would be of any value

~~ H R Haldeman Campaign Manager Nixon for Governor 3908 Wilshire Boulevard Los Angeles California
Dear Mr Haldeman
We are writing to you regarding 1~ Nixons campaign for Governor which we fully sUPDort We would like to make the folloWing points concerning the conduct of the campaign
(1) We have not yet seen Mr Nixon take advantage of his appeal (obviously greater than that of Governor Brown) to the women voters of california Women will vote for him if he addresses himself tomiddotthem using his natural appeal and forcefulness in such a way that they feel good because they support him Women will vote for him if he presents issues of specific interest and concern to them and if he presents himself as an appealing figure to them so that they are encouraged to support him without weak-kneed pleas from him for their assistance
(2) We have not yet seen Mr Nixon take Governor Brown to task over each and every stupid ill-timed idea he presents ie (an old idea) the abolition of capital punishment during the Chessman case when public sentiment was strongly against Chessman or (a new idea) the abolition of boXing in California when our public either likes or tolerates this sport and when Mr Parett was dying in New York of injuries from the Parett-Griffith fight while Governor Brown was making a play ~or pUblicity capitalizing upon this poor mans misfortune
D) Ne hope that Mr Nixon will not again be caught using the term carpetbaggers against the opposition in Washington This is emphatically in order but attacks must be made with more sUbtlety For example ideas may be crackpot but subtler terms such as unwarranted bids for publicity or ideas contrary to the welfare of the people are less apt to be ruthlessly attacked and capitalized upon by members of the opposition
With our best wishes to you and our hopes for t~ Nixons complete success we are

Att Robert Haldeman
Dear Mr Haldeman I oalled your offioe and you happened to be out so I talked to Mr
Turner and I thought I would pursue my telephone oonversation Just a little farther I referred Mr Turner to an artiole in the L08 Angeles Times of February 27 Half of the artiole I feel hit the nail right on the head but the other half took a slap at Mr Robert Weloh head of the John Biroh Sooiety Mr Haldeman as far as I am ooncerned I play the game to win and I feel that unless Mr Nixon stops being so high and mighty he is going to lose this election - andthis one we need real badly I know that Mr Nixons point is to disassooiate himself with tije John Biroh Sooiety but anyone with a grain of sense should know that they are not going to get off his baok one minute with the John Biroh Sooiety During the Presidential oampaign he oontinually tried to disassociate himself with CatholooisID and the Kennedy orowd saw to it that that never happened I feel that if an important dioishysion would arise then he oould comment on the John Biroh Sooiety beoause there are a lot of dedioated people at this point who are siok and tired of what has been going on and they are perhaps grabbing at straws They adopt the attitude Love me love my dog You never hear Governor Brown or Attorney General Mosk take a slap at the Amerioan Demooratio Assooiation or the radioal left wing I am not saying that they are tied in with this group but what I am saying is that they are not going to make these radioal left wingers mad enough not to get their votes

You will reply perhaps - full of horror - that it would be a
real sin to risk the existence of the globe eventually because I
of Berlin - May I answer By our experiences with dictators we
knowthat every yielding mak~stheir appetite grow and tinally
leads to warwhereas every fir~ stand makes them take their

and here in the night of Augst 13thev would have yielded and ~~~~IJi-
gone back and not have exposed themselves before all the world
as ivar mongers It was done by Ulbricht t s Vopos and not by Iiitssionsoldiersin fact-s~l~ething wouLd go wrong Ulbricht ~---
could be blamed
You must know that our mental depression is without limits
We feel hopeless aud f~ll of ~rustrating fury and deep mourn
when we thinkof our families and tricnds on the other side
There was a word said that pr-ec t t caLfy Ulbricht took what he
had already What an error and completely false judgement about
the situation -
Until August 13 there has been - though~ witft risk of life aud
property and loss of fanrily and friends - the always last
desperate possibili ty of the night into freedom In all
opprestion and t9rture - think of the conscience torments of
youngstels teachers j ministers j to speak only of some groups shy
there has been the saving hopefUl light of Berlins beacon
Th~ poor discourageO soul coul~ eventually for a day go over to
West Berlin write an importantB letter to children have a
phone-call to friends ill very lucky cases even meet a child
(hOli often could lie finance flights to Berlin from here for
the children t) 0 01 they read a newspaper only and could go home

This is one thing that change~basicly and the consequence

will be a firm will to secure them General Clay will be tbe

But ac DavLd Lawr-ence says Berlin is not the basic issue
for them~ the ~ims are much higher and fo~seeing
To make the si t ua t Lon clear I must go back ror some general r emarks Ih I s torn und is t r arrg e character what fs the remainder
of the old Germany developed from a 7 divided country (today 4)~ the f our occupation Zones American 1 Bri tkj sh French Ru s s Lan ~

the ~2~~ anci divided Into four zones) and the country behind
the Oder-Neisse-line given under Polishadministraiion part
in the North even under 30vietian one
Nevertheless the Po t sdam treaty anrted Germany to be considered
as an economic uni t including also transportation and traffic
so that the Berlin connections were no doubtful problem techshy

the blockade and were confirllleJafterards There should be no) bull reason to make them a speeial point for negotiations

Dear Mr Haldeman
I would like to start something I do hope that you and Mr Nixon will help me
To introduce myself - I am and have been a citizen of California since 1886
Being in yours and Mr Nixons mothers bracket I have seen many political campaigns
Of late and (perhaps earlier) they have slid down the stairs to the position of James M Barries ---- Tommy who at 3 with a companion of like vintage were on a stairway arguing their respective importance Said the companion My father were once at a hanging to which Tommy retorted My father were the man that were hanged
Now I find that though I come of a long-time politically minded family campaigns are becoming boresome Moreover I discover that a good many of my friends do not even listen To correct this sad situation my big idea---shy
This is the age of spaceT----- I see a space craft land A man steps from it and round him gather nearby people He does not know where he is or anything of this new land The inhabitants inform him that he is in the most beautiful of the fifty states of the USA Subsequently he learns that they need a leader He has no idea nor is he informed that there is an incumbent With leadership in mind he travels the state makes surveys of needs resources men and means and then makes suggestions of improvements and offers himself as a guide
There is absolutely no mention made of any opposition as to men or ideas He simply offers himself and his ideas (perhaps gleaned from outer space) and awaits the decision of the inhabitants
I think a campaign with a total blank in words as to anything but constructive thinking would draw the eyes and ears of all the people (and maybe the moon)
SIncerely (Miss) Mary R Marsh
PS The space man seeming to be totally deaf to any blasts or even words from opposition

Mr H R Haldeman 3908 Wilshire Boulevard Los Angeles 5 Cal ifornia
Dear Bob
You asked for any other ideas I might have so I am going to express them for whatever they are worth
I bel ieve that a good way to switch Democratic votes to Nixon might be to hit Wrown hard with the claim that he appears soft on Communism This could be backed up by Browns own statementsshysuch as a recent one in which he said that he considers the John Birch Society almost as great a threat as Communism That one can really be shot full of holes
I think that one of Browns claims about Nixon could be turned around to benefit Mr Nixon The claim I am referring to is that Nixon has been away from California too long to know Cal ifornias problems I bel ieve that Mr Nixon should stress the fact that Cal ifornia will soon become the most important state in the most important country in an extremely troubled world Californias problems are not all internal - they must be looked at from the perspective of our national and international position Mr Nixon is eminently more qual ified than Mr Brown to do this
You are stressing Nixons decisiveness which is an excellent idea I believe it would be beneficial to stress Browns indecisiveness It seemS to me that Browns popularity was at its lowest ebb while he was straddling the fence about Chessman If people can be reminded of this and other hesitations and hedging which he has gone through it should be beneficial
Please dont feel I am being critical I havent followed the campaign closely enough to know whether or not you are already stressing the things I am suggesting or whether these ideas would be of any value

Dear Mr Haldeman
At the sugppstion of Mrs Luc~tte ~pangler I am enclosing a letter to Mr Nixon to you
We ~re gteatly disturled by the mounting cri tieism of him It is not too late for him to rectify mattera but he will certainly need tochan~e hi~ ta~tie8
Tf ever there were a Red Hfrringo the John Birch ~ociety is it Few pennIe know anything about the platform of the rDC the ADA an~the terrifvingo Liberal Papers
One of the consultants for the Liberal Papers Marcus Baskin has turn~d up at r~neva 88 an advisor to the United states disarmament delepationo
Sin~p thp John Birtih 8oeie~ is national there surely could be no legitimate criticism o~either ADoA or the Liberal Papers t

~~ H R Haldeman Campaign Manager Nixon for Governor 3908 Wilshire Boulevard Los Angeles California
Dear Mr Haldeman
We are writing to you regarding 1~ Nixons campaign for Governor which we fully sUPDort We would like to make the folloWing points concerning the conduct of the campaign
(1) We have not yet seen Mr Nixon take advantage of his appeal (obviously greater than that of Governor Brown) to the women voters of california Women will vote for him if he addresses himself tomiddotthem using his natural appeal and forcefulness in such a way that they feel good because they support him Women will vote for him if he presents issues of specific interest and concern to them and if he presents himself as an appealing figure to them so that they are encouraged to support him without weak-kneed pleas from him for their assistance
(2) We have not yet seen Mr Nixon take Governor Brown to task over each and every stupid ill-timed idea he presents ie (an old idea) the abolition of capital punishment during the Chessman case when public sentiment was strongly against Chessman or (a new idea) the abolition of boXing in California when our public either likes or tolerates this sport and when Mr Parett was dying in New York of injuries from the Parett-Griffith fight while Governor Brown was making a play ~or pUblicity capitalizing upon this poor mans misfortune
D) Ne hope that Mr Nixon will not again be caught using the term carpetbaggers against the opposition in Washington This is emphatically in order but attacks must be made with more sUbtlety For example ideas may be crackpot but subtler terms such as unwarranted bids for publicity or ideas contrary to the welfare of the people are less apt to be ruthlessly attacked and capitalized upon by members of the opposition
With our best wishes to you and our hopes for t~ Nixons complete success we are

Att Robert Haldeman
Dear Mr Haldeman I oalled your offioe and you happened to be out so I talked to Mr
Turner and I thought I would pursue my telephone oonversation Just a little farther I referred Mr Turner to an artiole in the L08 Angeles Times of February 27 Half of the artiole I feel hit the nail right on the head but the other half took a slap at Mr Robert Weloh head of the John Biroh Sooiety Mr Haldeman as far as I am ooncerned I play the game to win and I feel that unless Mr Nixon stops being so high and mighty he is going to lose this election - andthis one we need real badly I know that Mr Nixons point is to disassooiate himself with tije John Biroh Sooiety but anyone with a grain of sense should know that they are not going to get off his baok one minute with the John Biroh Sooiety During the Presidential oampaign he oontinually tried to disassociate himself with CatholooisID and the Kennedy orowd saw to it that that never happened I feel that if an important dioishysion would arise then he oould comment on the John Biroh Sooiety beoause there are a lot of dedioated people at this point who are siok and tired of what has been going on and they are perhaps grabbing at straws They adopt the attitude Love me love my dog You never hear Governor Brown or Attorney General Mosk take a slap at the Amerioan Demooratio Assooiation or the radioal left wing I am not saying that they are tied in with this group but what I am saying is that they are not going to make these radioal left wingers mad enough not to get their votes
I will oontinue to do my little part in Temp City to try and upgrade the people who will be representing UB

enough to take the risksII as the risl has not been taken in
this very case c-lease do read what David Lawrence said in his UoSoNews and World Report in many excellent articles this
suamer i 0 g liThe big prison II (Aug 028) and trBerlin is not theb~
sic issue Nobody could express the -situation bettet
You will reply perhaps - full of horror - that it would be a
real sin to risk the existence of the globe eventually because I
of Berlin - May I answer By our experiences with dictators we
knowthat every yielding mak~stheir appetite grow and tinally
leads to warwhereas every fir~ stand makes them take their
roo t back Do tllinlc o f Hf t Ler vg oLng into Csechoslovakia and ~_~~~__~___middot___~~~~_W gt - c

of the ~agnificent effect of the Berlin airlift 19~9o And now
and here in the night of Augst 13thev would have yielded and ~~~~IJi-
gone back and not have exposed themselves before all the world
as ivar mongers It was done by Ulbricht t s Vopos and not by Iiitssionsoldiersin fact-s~l~ething wouLd go wrong Ulbricht ~---
could be blamed
You must know that our mental depression is without limits
We feel hopeless aud f~ll of ~rustrating fury and deep mourn
when we thinkof our families and tricnds on the other side
There was a word said that pr-ec t t caLfy Ulbricht took what he
had already What an error and completely false judgement about
the situation -
Until August 13 there has been - though~ witft risk of life aud
property and loss of fanrily and friends - the always last
desperate possibili ty of the night into freedom In all
opprestion and t9rture - think of the conscience torments of
youngstels teachers j ministers j to speak only of some groups shy
there has been the saving hopefUl light of Berlins beacon
Th~ poor discourageO soul coul~ eventually for a day go over to
West Berlin write an importantB letter to children have a
phone-call to friends ill very lucky cases even meet a child
(hOli often could lie finance flights to Berlin from here for
the children t) 0 01 they read a newspaper only and could go home
wi til fresh courage to iithstc~nd the daily threat again You know how the prisons are filled vi th the victims who failed to

speak of the last desperate at t empt s of flight - that
over Berlin has lost her s opranat LnnaI nleaninglls the only
spot in the wor Ld that has day for day been wi ths t and Lng

This is one thing that change~basicly and the consequence
eluerged on the spot no r t niore observed by the freciorld the
Zone rUlers rUdelessly startedto tyrannize everybody als~ the
few privileged groups that they had flattered to hold them
s o t ent i s t s mcdicalrpen tchnicians The who Le Zone is an army

point Ber Li n as a 1h01e is lost but lt[est Berlin of course0
will aurv i ve and the a t rways fi 11 r emai n safe 01s long a Ls there
will be a firm will to secure them General Clay will be tbe
garant
But ac DavLd Lawr-ence says Berlin is not the basic issue
for them~ the ~ims are much higher and fo~seeing
To make the si t ua t Lon clear I must go back ror some general r emarks Ih I s torn und is t r arrg e character what fs the remainder
of the old Germany developed from a 7 divided country (today 4)~ the f our occupation Zones American 1 Bri tkj sh French Ru s s Lan ~

the ~2~~ anci divided Into four zones) and the country behind
the Oder-Neisse-line given under Polishadministraiion part
in the North even under 30vietian one
Nevertheless the Po t sdam treaty anrted Germany to be considered
as an economic uni t including also transportation and traffic
so that the Berlin connections were no doubtful problem techshy

the blockade and were confirllleJafterards There should be no) bull reason to make them a speeial point for negotiations
Very soon it showed that n~ssiais politics of rudeless reparashy

Dear Mr Haldeman
I would like to start something I do hope that you and Mr Nixon will help me
To introduce myself - I am and have been a citizen of California since 1886
Being in yours and Mr Nixons mothers bracket I have seen many political campaigns
Of late and (perhaps earlier) they have slid down the stairs to the position of James M Barries ---- Tommy who at 3 with a companion of like vintage were on a stairway arguing their respective importance Said the companion My father were once at a hanging to which Tommy retorted My father were the man that were hanged
Now I find that though I come of a long-time politically minded family campaigns are becoming boresome Moreover I discover that a good many of my friends do not even listen To correct this sad situation my big idea---shy
This is the age of spaceT----- I see a space craft land A man steps from it and round him gather nearby people He does not know where he is or anything of this new land The inhabitants inform him that he is in the most beautiful of the fifty states of the USA Subsequently he learns that they need a leader He has no idea nor is he informed that there is an incumbent With leadership in mind he travels the state makes surveys of needs resources men and means and then makes suggestions of improvements and offers himself as a guide
There is absolutely no mention made of any opposition as to men or ideas He simply offers himself and his ideas (perhaps gleaned from outer space) and awaits the decision of the inhabitants
I think a campaign with a total blank in words as to anything but constructive thinking would draw the eyes and ears of all the people (and maybe the moon)
SIncerely (Miss) Mary R Marsh
PS The space man seeming to be totally deaf to any blasts or even words from opposition

Mr H R Haldeman 3908 Wilshire Boulevard Los Angeles 5 Cal ifornia
Dear Bob
You asked for any other ideas I might have so I am going to express them for whatever they are worth
I bel ieve that a good way to switch Democratic votes to Nixon might be to hit Wrown hard with the claim that he appears soft on Communism This could be backed up by Browns own statementsshysuch as a recent one in which he said that he considers the John Birch Society almost as great a threat as Communism That one can really be shot full of holes
I think that one of Browns claims about Nixon could be turned around to benefit Mr Nixon The claim I am referring to is that Nixon has been away from California too long to know Cal ifornias problems I bel ieve that Mr Nixon should stress the fact that Cal ifornia will soon become the most important state in the most important country in an extremely troubled world Californias problems are not all internal - they must be looked at from the perspective of our national and international position Mr Nixon is eminently more qual ified than Mr Brown to do this
You are stressing Nixons decisiveness which is an excellent idea I believe it would be beneficial to stress Browns indecisiveness It seemS to me that Browns popularity was at its lowest ebb while he was straddling the fence about Chessman If people can be reminded of this and other hesitations and hedging which he has gone through it should be beneficial
Please dont feel I am being critical I havent followed the campaign closely enough to know whether or not you are already stressing the things I am suggesting or whether these ideas would be of any value

~~ H R Haldeman Campaign Manager Nixon for Governor 3908 Wilshire Boulevard Los Angeles California
Dear Mr Haldeman
We are writing to you regarding 1~ Nixons campaign for Governor which we fully sUPDort We would like to make the folloWing points concerning the conduct of the campaign
(1) We have not yet seen Mr Nixon take advantage of his appeal (obviously greater than that of Governor Brown) to the women voters of california Women will vote for him if he addresses himself tomiddotthem using his natural appeal and forcefulness in such a way that they feel good because they support him Women will vote for him if he presents issues of specific interest and concern to them and if he presents himself as an appealing figure to them so that they are encouraged to support him without weak-kneed pleas from him for their assistance
(2) We have not yet seen Mr Nixon take Governor Brown to task over each and every stupid ill-timed idea he presents ie (an old idea) the abolition of capital punishment during the Chessman case when public sentiment was strongly against Chessman or (a new idea) the abolition of boXing in California when our public either likes or tolerates this sport and when Mr Parett was dying in New York of injuries from the Parett-Griffith fight while Governor Brown was making a play ~or pUblicity capitalizing upon this poor mans misfortune
D) Ne hope that Mr Nixon will not again be caught using the term carpetbaggers against the opposition in Washington This is emphatically in order but attacks must be made with more sUbtlety For example ideas may be crackpot but subtler terms such as unwarranted bids for publicity or ideas contrary to the welfare of the people are less apt to be ruthlessly attacked and capitalized upon by members of the opposition
With our best wishes to you and our hopes for t~ Nixons complete success we are

Att Robert Haldeman
Dear Mr Haldeman I oalled your offioe and you happened to be out so I talked to Mr
Turner and I thought I would pursue my telephone oonversation Just a little farther I referred Mr Turner to an artiole in the L08 Angeles Times of February 27 Half of the artiole I feel hit the nail right on the head but the other half took a slap at Mr Robert Weloh head of the John Biroh Sooiety Mr Haldeman as far as I am ooncerned I play the game to win and I feel that unless Mr Nixon stops being so high and mighty he is going to lose this election - andthis one we need real badly I know that Mr Nixons point is to disassooiate himself with tije John Biroh Sooiety but anyone with a grain of sense should know that they are not going to get off his baok one minute with the John Biroh Sooiety During the Presidential oampaign he oontinually tried to disassociate himself with CatholooisID and the Kennedy orowd saw to it that that never happened I feel that if an important dioishysion would arise then he oould comment on the John Biroh Sooiety beoause there are a lot of dedioated people at this point who are siok and tired of what has been going on and they are perhaps grabbing at straws They adopt the attitude Love me love my dog You never hear Governor Brown or Attorney General Mosk take a slap at the Amerioan Demooratio Assooiation or the radioal left wing I am not saying that they are tied in with this group but what I am saying is that they are not going to make these radioal left wingers mad enough not to get their votes
I will oontinue to do my little part in Temp City to try and upgrade the people who will be representing UB

enough to take the risksII as the risl has not been taken in

suamer i 0 g liThe big prison II (Aug 028) and trBerlin is not theb~
sic issue Nobody could express the -situation bettet
You will reply perhaps - full of horror - that it would be a
real sin to risk the existence of the globe eventually because I
of Berlin - May I answer By our experiences with dictators we
knowthat every yielding mak~stheir appetite grow and tinally
leads to warwhereas every fir~ stand makes them take their
roo t back Do tllinlc o f Hf t Ler vg oLng into Csechoslovakia and ~_~~~__~___middot___~~~~_W gt - c

of the ~agnificent effect of the Berlin airlift 19~9o And now
and here in the night of Augst 13thev would have yielded and ~~~~IJi-
gone back and not have exposed themselves before all the world
as ivar mongers It was done by Ulbricht t s Vopos and not by Iiitssionsoldiersin fact-s~l~ething wouLd go wrong Ulbricht ~---
could be blamed
You must know that our mental depression is without limits
We feel hopeless aud f~ll of ~rustrating fury and deep mourn
when we thinkof our families and tricnds on the other side
There was a word said that pr-ec t t caLfy Ulbricht took what he
had already What an error and completely false judgement about
the situation -
Until August 13 there has been - though~ witft risk of life aud
property and loss of fanrily and friends - the always last
desperate possibili ty of the night into freedom In all
opprestion and t9rture - think of the conscience torments of
youngstels teachers j ministers j to speak only of some groups shy
there has been the saving hopefUl light of Berlins beacon
Th~ poor discourageO soul coul~ eventually for a day go over to
West Berlin write an importantB letter to children have a
phone-call to friends ill very lucky cases even meet a child
(hOli often could lie finance flights to Berlin from here for
the children t) 0 01 they read a newspaper only and could go home

speak of the last desperate at t empt s of flight - that
over Berlin has lost her s opranat LnnaI nleaninglls the only
spot in the wor Ld that has day for day been wi ths t and Lng

This is one thing that change~basicly and the consequence
eluerged on the spot no r t niore observed by the freciorld the
Zone rUlers rUdelessly startedto tyrannize everybody als~ the
few privileged groups that they had flattered to hold them

will aurv i ve and the a t rways fi 11 r emai n safe 01s long a Ls there
will be a firm will to secure them General Clay will be tbe
garant
But ac DavLd Lawr-ence says Berlin is not the basic issue
for them~ the ~ims are much higher and fo~seeing
To make the si t ua t Lon clear I must go back ror some general r emarks Ih I s torn und is t r arrg e character what fs the remainder
of the old Germany developed from a 7 divided country (today 4)~ the f our occupation Zones American 1 Bri tkj sh French Ru s s Lan ~

the ~2~~ anci divided Into four zones) and the country behind
the Oder-Neisse-line given under Polishadministraiion part
in the North even under 30vietian one
Nevertheless the Po t sdam treaty anrted Germany to be considered
as an economic uni t including also transportation and traffic
so that the Berlin connections were no doubtful problem techshy

the blockade and were confirllleJafterards There should be no) bull reason to make them a speeial point for negotiations

To introduce myself - I am and have been a citizen of California since 1886
Being in yours and Mr Nixons mothers bracket I have seen many political campaigns
Of late and (perhaps earlier) they have slid down the stairs to the position of James M Barries ---- Tommy who at 3 with a companion of like vintage were on a stairway arguing their respective importance Said the companion My father were once at a hanging to which Tommy retorted My father were the man that were hanged
Now I find that though I come of a long-time politically minded family campaigns are becoming boresome Moreover I discover that a good many of my friends do not even listen To correct this sad situation my big idea---shy
This is the age of spaceT----- I see a space craft land A man steps from it and round him gather nearby people He does not know where he is or anything of this new land The inhabitants inform him that he is in the most beautiful of the fifty states of the USA Subsequently he learns that they need a leader He has no idea nor is he informed that there is an incumbent With leadership in mind he travels the state makes surveys of needs resources men and means and then makes suggestions of improvements and offers himself as a guide
There is absolutely no mention made of any opposition as to men or ideas He simply offers himself and his ideas (perhaps gleaned from outer space) and awaits the decision of the inhabitants
I think a campaign with a total blank in words as to anything but constructive thinking would draw the eyes and ears of all the people (and maybe the moon)
SIncerely (Miss) Mary R Marsh
PS The space man seeming to be totally deaf to any blasts or even words from opposition

We ~re gteatly disturled by the mounting cri tieism of him It is not too late for him to rectify mattera but he will certainly need tochan~e hi~ ta~tie8

One of the consultants for the Liberal Papers Marcus Baskin has turn~d up at r~neva 88 an advisor to the United states disarmament delepationo

~~ H R Haldeman Campaign Manager Nixon for Governor 3908 Wilshire Boulevard Los Angeles California
Dear Mr Haldeman
We are writing to you regarding 1~ Nixons campaign for Governor which we fully sUPDort We would like to make the folloWing points concerning the conduct of the campaign
(1) We have not yet seen Mr Nixon take advantage of his appeal (obviously greater than that of Governor Brown) to the women voters of california Women will vote for him if he addresses himself tomiddotthem using his natural appeal and forcefulness in such a way that they feel good because they support him Women will vote for him if he presents issues of specific interest and concern to them and if he presents himself as an appealing figure to them so that they are encouraged to support him without weak-kneed pleas from him for their assistance
(2) We have not yet seen Mr Nixon take Governor Brown to task over each and every stupid ill-timed idea he presents ie (an old idea) the abolition of capital punishment during the Chessman case when public sentiment was strongly against Chessman or (a new idea) the abolition of boXing in California when our public either likes or tolerates this sport and when Mr Parett was dying in New York of injuries from the Parett-Griffith fight while Governor Brown was making a play ~or pUblicity capitalizing upon this poor mans misfortune
D) Ne hope that Mr Nixon will not again be caught using the term carpetbaggers against the opposition in Washington This is emphatically in order but attacks must be made with more sUbtlety For example ideas may be crackpot but subtler terms such as unwarranted bids for publicity or ideas contrary to the welfare of the people are less apt to be ruthlessly attacked and capitalized upon by members of the opposition
With our best wishes to you and our hopes for t~ Nixons complete success we are

Att Robert Haldeman
Dear Mr Haldeman I oalled your offioe and you happened to be out so I talked to Mr
Turner and I thought I would pursue my telephone oonversation Just a little farther I referred Mr Turner to an artiole in the L08 Angeles Times of February 27 Half of the artiole I feel hit the nail right on the head but the other half took a slap at Mr Robert Weloh head of the John Biroh Sooiety Mr Haldeman as far as I am ooncerned I play the game to win and I feel that unless Mr Nixon stops being so high and mighty he is going to lose this election - andthis one we need real badly I know that Mr Nixons point is to disassooiate himself with tije John Biroh Sooiety but anyone with a grain of sense should know that they are not going to get off his baok one minute with the John Biroh Sooiety During the Presidential oampaign he oontinually tried to disassociate himself with CatholooisID and the Kennedy orowd saw to it that that never happened I feel that if an important dioishysion would arise then he oould comment on the John Biroh Sooiety beoause there are a lot of dedioated people at this point who are siok and tired of what has been going on and they are perhaps grabbing at straws They adopt the attitude Love me love my dog You never hear Governor Brown or Attorney General Mosk take a slap at the Amerioan Demooratio Assooiation or the radioal left wing I am not saying that they are tied in with this group but what I am saying is that they are not going to make these radioal left wingers mad enough not to get their votes

You will reply perhaps - full of horror - that it would be a
real sin to risk the existence of the globe eventually because I
of Berlin - May I answer By our experiences with dictators we
knowthat every yielding mak~stheir appetite grow and tinally
leads to warwhereas every fir~ stand makes them take their

could be blamed
You must know that our mental depression is without limits
We feel hopeless aud f~ll of ~rustrating fury and deep mourn
when we thinkof our families and tricnds on the other side
There was a word said that pr-ec t t caLfy Ulbricht took what he
had already What an error and completely false judgement about
the situation -
Until August 13 there has been - though~ witft risk of life aud
property and loss of fanrily and friends - the always last
desperate possibili ty of the night into freedom In all
opprestion and t9rture - think of the conscience torments of
youngstels teachers j ministers j to speak only of some groups shy
there has been the saving hopefUl light of Berlins beacon

speak of the last desperate at t empt s of flight - that

will be a firm will to secure them General Clay will be tbe

But ac DavLd Lawr-ence says Berlin is not the basic issue
for them~ the ~ims are much higher and fo~seeing
To make the si t ua t Lon clear I must go back ror some general r emarks Ih I s torn und is t r arrg e character what fs the remainder
of the old Germany developed from a 7 divided country (today 4)~ the f our occupation Zones American 1 Bri tkj sh French Ru s s Lan ~

Nevertheless the Po t sdam treaty anrted Germany to be considered
as an economic uni t including also transportation and traffic
so that the Berlin connections were no doubtful problem techshy

Dear Mr Haldeman
I would like to start something I do hope that you and Mr Nixon will help me
To introduce myself - I am and have been a citizen of California since 1886
Being in yours and Mr Nixons mothers bracket I have seen many political campaigns
Of late and (perhaps earlier) they have slid down the stairs to the position of James M Barries ---- Tommy who at 3 with a companion of like vintage were on a stairway arguing their respective importance Said the companion My father were once at a hanging to which Tommy retorted My father were the man that were hanged
Now I find that though I come of a long-time politically minded family campaigns are becoming boresome Moreover I discover that a good many of my friends do not even listen To correct this sad situation my big idea---shy
This is the age of spaceT----- I see a space craft land A man steps from it and round him gather nearby people He does not know where he is or anything of this new land The inhabitants inform him that he is in the most beautiful of the fifty states of the USA Subsequently he learns that they need a leader He has no idea nor is he informed that there is an incumbent With leadership in mind he travels the state makes surveys of needs resources men and means and then makes suggestions of improvements and offers himself as a guide
There is absolutely no mention made of any opposition as to men or ideas He simply offers himself and his ideas (perhaps gleaned from outer space) and awaits the decision of the inhabitants
I think a campaign with a total blank in words as to anything but constructive thinking would draw the eyes and ears of all the people (and maybe the moon)
SIncerely (Miss) Mary R Marsh
PS The space man seeming to be totally deaf to any blasts or even words from opposition

We ~re gteatly disturled by the mounting cri tieism of him It is not too late for him to rectify mattera but he will certainly need tochan~e hi~ ta~tie8
Tf ever there were a Red Hfrringo the John Birch ~ociety is it Few pennIe know anything about the platform of the rDC the ADA an~the terrifvingo Liberal Papers
One of the consultants for the Liberal Papers Marcus Baskin has turn~d up at r~neva 88 an advisor to the United states disarmament delepationo

~~ H R Haldeman Campaign Manager Nixon for Governor 3908 Wilshire Boulevard Los Angeles California
Dear Mr Haldeman
We are writing to you regarding 1~ Nixons campaign for Governor which we fully sUPDort We would like to make the folloWing points concerning the conduct of the campaign
(1) We have not yet seen Mr Nixon take advantage of his appeal (obviously greater than that of Governor Brown) to the women voters of california Women will vote for him if he addresses himself tomiddotthem using his natural appeal and forcefulness in such a way that they feel good because they support him Women will vote for him if he presents issues of specific interest and concern to them and if he presents himself as an appealing figure to them so that they are encouraged to support him without weak-kneed pleas from him for their assistance
(2) We have not yet seen Mr Nixon take Governor Brown to task over each and every stupid ill-timed idea he presents ie (an old idea) the abolition of capital punishment during the Chessman case when public sentiment was strongly against Chessman or (a new idea) the abolition of boXing in California when our public either likes or tolerates this sport and when Mr Parett was dying in New York of injuries from the Parett-Griffith fight while Governor Brown was making a play ~or pUblicity capitalizing upon this poor mans misfortune
D) Ne hope that Mr Nixon will not again be caught using the term carpetbaggers against the opposition in Washington This is emphatically in order but attacks must be made with more sUbtlety For example ideas may be crackpot but subtler terms such as unwarranted bids for publicity or ideas contrary to the welfare of the people are less apt to be ruthlessly attacked and capitalized upon by members of the opposition
With our best wishes to you and our hopes for t~ Nixons complete success we are

Att Robert Haldeman
Dear Mr Haldeman I oalled your offioe and you happened to be out so I talked to Mr
Turner and I thought I would pursue my telephone oonversation Just a little farther I referred Mr Turner to an artiole in the L08 Angeles Times of February 27 Half of the artiole I feel hit the nail right on the head but the other half took a slap at Mr Robert Weloh head of the John Biroh Sooiety Mr Haldeman as far as I am ooncerned I play the game to win and I feel that unless Mr Nixon stops being so high and mighty he is going to lose this election - andthis one we need real badly I know that Mr Nixons point is to disassooiate himself with tije John Biroh Sooiety but anyone with a grain of sense should know that they are not going to get off his baok one minute with the John Biroh Sooiety During the Presidential oampaign he oontinually tried to disassociate himself with CatholooisID and the Kennedy orowd saw to it that that never happened I feel that if an important dioishysion would arise then he oould comment on the John Biroh Sooiety beoause there are a lot of dedioated people at this point who are siok and tired of what has been going on and they are perhaps grabbing at straws They adopt the attitude Love me love my dog You never hear Governor Brown or Attorney General Mosk take a slap at the Amerioan Demooratio Assooiation or the radioal left wing I am not saying that they are tied in with this group but what I am saying is that they are not going to make these radioal left wingers mad enough not to get their votes

suamer i 0 g liThe big prison II (Aug 028) and trBerlin is not theb~

You will reply perhaps - full of horror - that it would be a
real sin to risk the existence of the globe eventually because I
of Berlin - May I answer By our experiences with dictators we
knowthat every yielding mak~stheir appetite grow and tinally
leads to warwhereas every fir~ stand makes them take their

of the ~agnificent effect of the Berlin airlift 19~9o And now
and here in the night of Augst 13thev would have yielded and ~~~~IJi-
gone back and not have exposed themselves before all the world
as ivar mongers It was done by Ulbricht t s Vopos and not by Iiitssionsoldiersin fact-s~l~ething wouLd go wrong Ulbricht ~---
could be blamed
You must know that our mental depression is without limits
We feel hopeless aud f~ll of ~rustrating fury and deep mourn
when we thinkof our families and tricnds on the other side
There was a word said that pr-ec t t caLfy Ulbricht took what he
had already What an error and completely false judgement about
the situation -
Until August 13 there has been - though~ witft risk of life aud
property and loss of fanrily and friends - the always last
desperate possibili ty of the night into freedom In all
opprestion and t9rture - think of the conscience torments of
youngstels teachers j ministers j to speak only of some groups shy
there has been the saving hopefUl light of Berlins beacon
Th~ poor discourageO soul coul~ eventually for a day go over to
West Berlin write an importantB letter to children have a
phone-call to friends ill very lucky cases even meet a child
(hOli often could lie finance flights to Berlin from here for
the children t) 0 01 they read a newspaper only and could go home
wi til fresh courage to iithstc~nd the daily threat again You know how the prisons are filled vi th the victims who failed to

This is one thing that change~basicly and the consequence
eluerged on the spot no r t niore observed by the freciorld the

will be a firm will to secure them General Clay will be tbe

But ac DavLd Lawr-ence says Berlin is not the basic issue
for them~ the ~ims are much higher and fo~seeing
To make the si t ua t Lon clear I must go back ror some general r emarks Ih I s torn und is t r arrg e character what fs the remainder

the ~2~~ anci divided Into four zones) and the country behind
the Oder-Neisse-line given under Polishadministraiion part
in the North even under 30vietian one
Nevertheless the Po t sdam treaty anrted Germany to be considered
as an economic uni t including also transportation and traffic
so that the Berlin connections were no doubtful problem techshy

the blockade and were confirllleJafterards There should be no) bull reason to make them a speeial point for negotiations

Dear Mr Haldeman
I would like to start something I do hope that you and Mr Nixon will help me
To introduce myself - I am and have been a citizen of California since 1886
Being in yours and Mr Nixons mothers bracket I have seen many political campaigns
Of late and (perhaps earlier) they have slid down the stairs to the position of James M Barries ---- Tommy who at 3 with a companion of like vintage were on a stairway arguing their respective importance Said the companion My father were once at a hanging to which Tommy retorted My father were the man that were hanged
Now I find that though I come of a long-time politically minded family campaigns are becoming boresome Moreover I discover that a good many of my friends do not even listen To correct this sad situation my big idea---shy
This is the age of spaceT----- I see a space craft land A man steps from it and round him gather nearby people He does not know where he is or anything of this new land The inhabitants inform him that he is in the most beautiful of the fifty states of the USA Subsequently he learns that they need a leader He has no idea nor is he informed that there is an incumbent With leadership in mind he travels the state makes surveys of needs resources men and means and then makes suggestions of improvements and offers himself as a guide
There is absolutely no mention made of any opposition as to men or ideas He simply offers himself and his ideas (perhaps gleaned from outer space) and awaits the decision of the inhabitants
I think a campaign with a total blank in words as to anything but constructive thinking would draw the eyes and ears of all the people (and maybe the moon)
SIncerely (Miss) Mary R Marsh
PS The space man seeming to be totally deaf to any blasts or even words from opposition

~~ H R Haldeman Campaign Manager Nixon for Governor 3908 Wilshire Boulevard Los Angeles California
Dear Mr Haldeman
We are writing to you regarding 1~ Nixons campaign for Governor which we fully sUPDort We would like to make the folloWing points concerning the conduct of the campaign
(1) We have not yet seen Mr Nixon take advantage of his appeal (obviously greater than that of Governor Brown) to the women voters of california Women will vote for him if he addresses himself tomiddotthem using his natural appeal and forcefulness in such a way that they feel good because they support him Women will vote for him if he presents issues of specific interest and concern to them and if he presents himself as an appealing figure to them so that they are encouraged to support him without weak-kneed pleas from him for their assistance
(2) We have not yet seen Mr Nixon take Governor Brown to task over each and every stupid ill-timed idea he presents ie (an old idea) the abolition of capital punishment during the Chessman case when public sentiment was strongly against Chessman or (a new idea) the abolition of boXing in California when our public either likes or tolerates this sport and when Mr Parett was dying in New York of injuries from the Parett-Griffith fight while Governor Brown was making a play ~or pUblicity capitalizing upon this poor mans misfortune
D) Ne hope that Mr Nixon will not again be caught using the term carpetbaggers against the opposition in Washington This is emphatically in order but attacks must be made with more sUbtlety For example ideas may be crackpot but subtler terms such as unwarranted bids for publicity or ideas contrary to the welfare of the people are less apt to be ruthlessly attacked and capitalized upon by members of the opposition
With our best wishes to you and our hopes for t~ Nixons complete success we are

Turner and I thought I would pursue my telephone oonversation Just a little farther I referred Mr Turner to an artiole in the L08 Angeles Times of February 27 Half of the artiole I feel hit the nail right on the head but the other half took a slap at Mr Robert Weloh head of the John Biroh Sooiety Mr Haldeman as far as I am ooncerned I play the game to win and I feel that unless Mr Nixon stops being so high and mighty he is going to lose this election - andthis one we need real badly I know that Mr Nixons point is to disassooiate himself with tije John Biroh Sooiety but anyone with a grain of sense should know that they are not going to get off his baok one minute with the John Biroh Sooiety During the Presidential oampaign he oontinually tried to disassociate himself with CatholooisID and the Kennedy orowd saw to it that that never happened I feel that if an important dioishysion would arise then he oould comment on the John Biroh Sooiety beoause there are a lot of dedioated people at this point who are siok and tired of what has been going on and they are perhaps grabbing at straws They adopt the attitude Love me love my dog You never hear Governor Brown or Attorney General Mosk take a slap at the Amerioan Demooratio Assooiation or the radioal left wing I am not saying that they are tied in with this group but what I am saying is that they are not going to make these radioal left wingers mad enough not to get their votes
I will oontinue to do my little part in Temp City to try and upgrade the people who will be representing UB

Dear friends in the States

enough to take the risksII as the risl has not been taken in
this very case c-lease do read what David Lawrence said in his UoSoNews and World Report in many excellent articles this
suamer i 0 g liThe big prison II (Aug 028) and trBerlin is not theb~
sic issue Nobody could express the -situation bettet
You will reply perhaps - full of horror - that it would be a
real sin to risk the existence of the globe eventually because I
of Berlin - May I answer By our experiences with dictators we
knowthat every yielding mak~stheir appetite grow and tinally
leads to warwhereas every fir~ stand makes them take their
roo t back Do tllinlc o f Hf t Ler vg oLng into Csechoslovakia and ~_~~~__~___middot___~~~~_W gt - c

of the ~agnificent effect of the Berlin airlift 19~9o And now
and here in the night of Augst 13thev would have yielded and ~~~~IJi-
gone back and not have exposed themselves before all the world
as ivar mongers It was done by Ulbricht t s Vopos and not by Iiitssionsoldiersin fact-s~l~ething wouLd go wrong Ulbricht ~---
could be blamed
You must know that our mental depression is without limits
We feel hopeless aud f~ll of ~rustrating fury and deep mourn
when we thinkof our families and tricnds on the other side
There was a word said that pr-ec t t caLfy Ulbricht took what he
had already What an error and completely false judgement about
the situation -
Until August 13 there has been - though~ witft risk of life aud
property and loss of fanrily and friends - the always last
desperate possibili ty of the night into freedom In all
opprestion and t9rture - think of the conscience torments of
youngstels teachers j ministers j to speak only of some groups shy
there has been the saving hopefUl light of Berlins beacon
Th~ poor discourageO soul coul~ eventually for a day go over to
West Berlin write an importantB letter to children have a
phone-call to friends ill very lucky cases even meet a child
(hOli often could lie finance flights to Berlin from here for
the children t) 0 01 they read a newspaper only and could go home
wi til fresh courage to iithstc~nd the daily threat again You know how the prisons are filled vi th the victims who failed to

speak of the last desperate at t empt s of flight - that
over Berlin has lost her s opranat LnnaI nleaninglls the only
spot in the wor Ld that has day for day been wi ths t and Lng
c onnnunIsnrdn a$Ollstant aI1dV~Jf~Nchallenge~ an iencour-ag ing and

This is one thing that change~basicly and the consequence
eluerged on the spot no r t niore observed by the freciorld the
Zone rUlers rUdelessly startedto tyrannize everybody als~ the
few privileged groups that they had flattered to hold them
s o t ent i s t s mcdicalrpen tchnicians The who Le Zone is an army

point Ber Li n as a 1h01e is lost but lt[est Berlin of course0
will aurv i ve and the a t rways fi 11 r emai n safe 01s long a Ls there
will be a firm will to secure them General Clay will be tbe
garant
But ac DavLd Lawr-ence says Berlin is not the basic issue
for them~ the ~ims are much higher and fo~seeing
To make the si t ua t Lon clear I must go back ror some general r emarks Ih I s torn und is t r arrg e character what fs the remainder
of the old Germany developed from a 7 divided country (today 4)~ the f our occupation Zones American 1 Bri tkj sh French Ru s s Lan ~

the ~2~~ anci divided Into four zones) and the country behind
the Oder-Neisse-line given under Polishadministraiion part
in the North even under 30vietian one
Nevertheless the Po t sdam treaty anrted Germany to be considered
as an economic uni t including also transportation and traffic
so that the Berlin connections were no doubtful problem techshy
n ic a I modali ties being agr3Cd about They even worke d during
the blockade and were confirllleJafterards There should be no) bull reason to make them a speeial point for negotiations

I would like to start something I do hope that you and Mr Nixon will help me
To introduce myself - I am and have been a citizen of California since 1886
Being in yours and Mr Nixons mothers bracket I have seen many political campaigns
Of late and (perhaps earlier) they have slid down the stairs to the position of James M Barries ---- Tommy who at 3 with a companion of like vintage were on a stairway arguing their respective importance Said the companion My father were once at a hanging to which Tommy retorted My father were the man that were hanged
Now I find that though I come of a long-time politically minded family campaigns are becoming boresome Moreover I discover that a good many of my friends do not even listen To correct this sad situation my big idea---shy
This is the age of spaceT----- I see a space craft land A man steps from it and round him gather nearby people He does not know where he is or anything of this new land The inhabitants inform him that he is in the most beautiful of the fifty states of the USA Subsequently he learns that they need a leader He has no idea nor is he informed that there is an incumbent With leadership in mind he travels the state makes surveys of needs resources men and means and then makes suggestions of improvements and offers himself as a guide
There is absolutely no mention made of any opposition as to men or ideas He simply offers himself and his ideas (perhaps gleaned from outer space) and awaits the decision of the inhabitants
I think a campaign with a total blank in words as to anything but constructive thinking would draw the eyes and ears of all the people (and maybe the moon)
SIncerely (Miss) Mary R Marsh
PS The space man seeming to be totally deaf to any blasts or even words from opposition

Dear Mr Haldeman
At the sugppstion of Mrs Luc~tte ~pangler I am enclosing a letter to Mr Nixon to you
We ~re gteatly disturled by the mounting cri tieism of him It is not too late for him to rectify mattera but he will certainly need tochan~e hi~ ta~tie8
Tf ever there were a Red Hfrringo the John Birch ~ociety is it Few pennIe know anything about the platform of the rDC the ADA an~the terrifvingo Liberal Papers
One of the consultants for the Liberal Papers Marcus Baskin has turn~d up at r~neva 88 an advisor to the United states disarmament delepationo
Sin~p thp John Birtih 8oeie~ is national there surely could be no legitimate criticism o~either ADoA or the Liberal Papers t

~~ H R Haldeman Campaign Manager Nixon for Governor 3908 Wilshire Boulevard Los Angeles California
Dear Mr Haldeman
We are writing to you regarding 1~ Nixons campaign for Governor which we fully sUPDort We would like to make the folloWing points concerning the conduct of the campaign
(1) We have not yet seen Mr Nixon take advantage of his appeal (obviously greater than that of Governor Brown) to the women voters of california Women will vote for him if he addresses himself tomiddotthem using his natural appeal and forcefulness in such a way that they feel good because they support him Women will vote for him if he presents issues of specific interest and concern to them and if he presents himself as an appealing figure to them so that they are encouraged to support him without weak-kneed pleas from him for their assistance
(2) We have not yet seen Mr Nixon take Governor Brown to task over each and every stupid ill-timed idea he presents ie (an old idea) the abolition of capital punishment during the Chessman case when public sentiment was strongly against Chessman or (a new idea) the abolition of boXing in California when our public either likes or tolerates this sport and when Mr Parett was dying in New York of injuries from the Parett-Griffith fight while Governor Brown was making a play ~or pUblicity capitalizing upon this poor mans misfortune
D) Ne hope that Mr Nixon will not again be caught using the term carpetbaggers against the opposition in Washington This is emphatically in order but attacks must be made with more sUbtlety For example ideas may be crackpot but subtler terms such as unwarranted bids for publicity or ideas contrary to the welfare of the people are less apt to be ruthlessly attacked and capitalized upon by members of the opposition
With our best wishes to you and our hopes for t~ Nixons complete success we are

Att Robert Haldeman
Dear Mr Haldeman I oalled your offioe and you happened to be out so I talked to Mr
Turner and I thought I would pursue my telephone oonversation Just a little farther I referred Mr Turner to an artiole in the L08 Angeles Times of February 27 Half of the artiole I feel hit the nail right on the head but the other half took a slap at Mr Robert Weloh head of the John Biroh Sooiety Mr Haldeman as far as I am ooncerned I play the game to win and I feel that unless Mr Nixon stops being so high and mighty he is going to lose this election - andthis one we need real badly I know that Mr Nixons point is to disassooiate himself with tije John Biroh Sooiety but anyone with a grain of sense should know that they are not going to get off his baok one minute with the John Biroh Sooiety During the Presidential oampaign he oontinually tried to disassociate himself with CatholooisID and the Kennedy orowd saw to it that that never happened I feel that if an important dioishysion would arise then he oould comment on the John Biroh Sooiety beoause there are a lot of dedioated people at this point who are siok and tired of what has been going on and they are perhaps grabbing at straws They adopt the attitude Love me love my dog You never hear Governor Brown or Attorney General Mosk take a slap at the Amerioan Demooratio Assooiation or the radioal left wing I am not saying that they are tied in with this group but what I am saying is that they are not going to make these radioal left wingers mad enough not to get their votes
I will oontinue to do my little part in Temp City to try and upgrade the people who will be representing UB

Dear friends in the States
during many years we have been connected in a common

main thing sbould be to be informed about each other ardbelieve
in the partner~s ~on~sty and good wille
More than two months have passed by since the disastrollsnight

enough to take the risksII as the risl has not been taken in
this very case c-lease do read what David Lawrence said in his UoSoNews and World Report in many excellent articles this
suamer i 0 g liThe big prison II (Aug 028) and trBerlin is not theb~
sic issue Nobody could express the -situation bettet
You will reply perhaps - full of horror - that it would be a
real sin to risk the existence of the globe eventually because I
of Berlin - May I answer By our experiences with dictators we
knowthat every yielding mak~stheir appetite grow and tinally
leads to warwhereas every fir~ stand makes them take their
roo t back Do tllinlc o f Hf t Ler vg oLng into Csechoslovakia and ~_~~~__~___middot___~~~~_W gt - c

of the ~agnificent effect of the Berlin airlift 19~9o And now
and here in the night of Augst 13thev would have yielded and ~~~~IJi-
gone back and not have exposed themselves before all the world
as ivar mongers It was done by Ulbricht t s Vopos and not by Iiitssionsoldiersin fact-s~l~ething wouLd go wrong Ulbricht ~---
could be blamed
You must know that our mental depression is without limits
We feel hopeless aud f~ll of ~rustrating fury and deep mourn
when we thinkof our families and tricnds on the other side
There was a word said that pr-ec t t caLfy Ulbricht took what he
had already What an error and completely false judgement about
the situation -
Until August 13 there has been - though~ witft risk of life aud
property and loss of fanrily and friends - the always last
desperate possibili ty of the night into freedom In all
opprestion and t9rture - think of the conscience torments of
youngstels teachers j ministers j to speak only of some groups shy
there has been the saving hopefUl light of Berlins beacon
Th~ poor discourageO soul coul~ eventually for a day go over to
West Berlin write an importantB letter to children have a
phone-call to friends ill very lucky cases even meet a child

will be a firm will to secure them General Clay will be tbe

But ac DavLd Lawr-ence says Berlin is not the basic issue
for them~ the ~ims are much higher and fo~seeing
To make the si t ua t Lon clear I must go back ror some general r emarks Ih I s torn und is t r arrg e character what fs the remainder
of the old Germany developed from a 7 divided country (today 4)~ the f our occupation Zones American 1 Bri tkj sh French Ru s s Lan ~

the ~2~~ anci divided Into four zones) and the country behind
the Oder-Neisse-line given under Polishadministraiion part
in the North even under 30vietian one
Nevertheless the Po t sdam treaty anrted Germany to be considered
as an economic uni t including also transportation and traffic
so that the Berlin connections were no doubtful problem techshy

Dear Mr Haldeman
I would like to start something I do hope that you and Mr Nixon will help me
To introduce myself - I am and have been a citizen of California since 1886
Being in yours and Mr Nixons mothers bracket I have seen many political campaigns
Of late and (perhaps earlier) they have slid down the stairs to the position of James M Barries ---- Tommy who at 3 with a companion of like vintage were on a stairway arguing their respective importance Said the companion My father were once at a hanging to which Tommy retorted My father were the man that were hanged
Now I find that though I come of a long-time politically minded family campaigns are becoming boresome Moreover I discover that a good many of my friends do not even listen To correct this sad situation my big idea---shy
This is the age of spaceT----- I see a space craft land A man steps from it and round him gather nearby people He does not know where he is or anything of this new land The inhabitants inform him that he is in the most beautiful of the fifty states of the USA Subsequently he learns that they need a leader He has no idea nor is he informed that there is an incumbent With leadership in mind he travels the state makes surveys of needs resources men and means and then makes suggestions of improvements and offers himself as a guide
There is absolutely no mention made of any opposition as to men or ideas He simply offers himself and his ideas (perhaps gleaned from outer space) and awaits the decision of the inhabitants
I think a campaign with a total blank in words as to anything but constructive thinking would draw the eyes and ears of all the people (and maybe the moon)
SIncerely (Miss) Mary R Marsh
PS The space man seeming to be totally deaf to any blasts or even words from opposition

Dear Mr Haldeman
At the sugppstion of Mrs Luc~tte ~pangler I am enclosing a letter to Mr Nixon to you
We ~re gteatly disturled by the mounting cri tieism of him It is not too late for him to rectify mattera but he will certainly need tochan~e hi~ ta~tie8
Tf ever there were a Red Hfrringo the John Birch ~ociety is it Few pennIe know anything about the platform of the rDC the ADA an~the terrifvingo Liberal Papers
One of the consultants for the Liberal Papers Marcus Baskin has turn~d up at r~neva 88 an advisor to the United states disarmament delepationo
Sin~p thp John Birtih 8oeie~ is national there surely could be no legitimate criticism o~either ADoA or the Liberal Papers t

~~ H R Haldeman Campaign Manager Nixon for Governor 3908 Wilshire Boulevard Los Angeles California
Dear Mr Haldeman
We are writing to you regarding 1~ Nixons campaign for Governor which we fully sUPDort We would like to make the folloWing points concerning the conduct of the campaign
(1) We have not yet seen Mr Nixon take advantage of his appeal (obviously greater than that of Governor Brown) to the women voters of california Women will vote for him if he addresses himself tomiddotthem using his natural appeal and forcefulness in such a way that they feel good because they support him Women will vote for him if he presents issues of specific interest and concern to them and if he presents himself as an appealing figure to them so that they are encouraged to support him without weak-kneed pleas from him for their assistance
(2) We have not yet seen Mr Nixon take Governor Brown to task over each and every stupid ill-timed idea he presents ie (an old idea) the abolition of capital punishment during the Chessman case when public sentiment was strongly against Chessman or (a new idea) the abolition of boXing in California when our public either likes or tolerates this sport and when Mr Parett was dying in New York of injuries from the Parett-Griffith fight while Governor Brown was making a play ~or pUblicity capitalizing upon this poor mans misfortune
D) Ne hope that Mr Nixon will not again be caught using the term carpetbaggers against the opposition in Washington This is emphatically in order but attacks must be made with more sUbtlety For example ideas may be crackpot but subtler terms such as unwarranted bids for publicity or ideas contrary to the welfare of the people are less apt to be ruthlessly attacked and capitalized upon by members of the opposition
With our best wishes to you and our hopes for t~ Nixons complete success we are

Att Robert Haldeman
Dear Mr Haldeman I oalled your offioe and you happened to be out so I talked to Mr
Turner and I thought I would pursue my telephone oonversation Just a little farther I referred Mr Turner to an artiole in the L08 Angeles Times of February 27 Half of the artiole I feel hit the nail right on the head but the other half took a slap at Mr Robert Weloh head of the John Biroh Sooiety Mr Haldeman as far as I am ooncerned I play the game to win and I feel that unless Mr Nixon stops being so high and mighty he is going to lose this election - andthis one we need real badly I know that Mr Nixons point is to disassooiate himself with tije John Biroh Sooiety but anyone with a grain of sense should know that they are not going to get off his baok one minute with the John Biroh Sooiety During the Presidential oampaign he oontinually tried to disassociate himself with CatholooisID and the Kennedy orowd saw to it that that never happened I feel that if an important dioishysion would arise then he oould comment on the John Biroh Sooiety beoause there are a lot of dedioated people at this point who are siok and tired of what has been going on and they are perhaps grabbing at straws They adopt the attitude Love me love my dog You never hear Governor Brown or Attorney General Mosk take a slap at the Amerioan Demooratio Assooiation or the radioal left wing I am not saying that they are tied in with this group but what I am saying is that they are not going to make these radioal left wingers mad enough not to get their votes
I will oontinue to do my little part in Temp City to try and upgrade the people who will be representing UB

enough to take the risksII as the risl has not been taken in

suamer i 0 g liThe big prison II (Aug 028) and trBerlin is not theb~
sic issue Nobody could express the -situation bettet
You will reply perhaps - full of horror - that it would be a
real sin to risk the existence of the globe eventually because I
of Berlin - May I answer By our experiences with dictators we
knowthat every yielding mak~stheir appetite grow and tinally
leads to warwhereas every fir~ stand makes them take their

of the ~agnificent effect of the Berlin airlift 19~9o And now
and here in the night of Augst 13thev would have yielded and ~~~~IJi-
gone back and not have exposed themselves before all the world
as ivar mongers It was done by Ulbricht t s Vopos and not by Iiitssionsoldiersin fact-s~l~ething wouLd go wrong Ulbricht ~---
could be blamed
You must know that our mental depression is without limits
We feel hopeless aud f~ll of ~rustrating fury and deep mourn
when we thinkof our families and tricnds on the other side
There was a word said that pr-ec t t caLfy Ulbricht took what he
had already What an error and completely false judgement about
the situation -
Until August 13 there has been - though~ witft risk of life aud
property and loss of fanrily and friends - the always last
desperate possibili ty of the night into freedom In all
opprestion and t9rture - think of the conscience torments of
youngstels teachers j ministers j to speak only of some groups shy
there has been the saving hopefUl light of Berlins beacon
Th~ poor discourageO soul coul~ eventually for a day go over to
West Berlin write an importantB letter to children have a
phone-call to friends ill very lucky cases even meet a child
(hOli often could lie finance flights to Berlin from here for
the children t) 0 01 they read a newspaper only and could go home
wi til fresh courage to iithstc~nd the daily threat again You know how the prisons are filled vi th the victims who failed to

speak of the last desperate at t empt s of flight - that

spot in the wor Ld that has day for day been wi ths t and Lng
c onnnunIsnrdn a$Ollstant aI1dV~Jf~Nchallenge~ an iencour-ag ing and

This is one thing that change~basicly and the consequence
eluerged on the spot no r t niore observed by the freciorld the
Zone rUlers rUdelessly startedto tyrannize everybody als~ the
few privileged groups that they had flattered to hold them
s o t ent i s t s mcdicalrpen tchnicians The who Le Zone is an army

point Ber Li n as a 1h01e is lost but lt[est Berlin of course0
will aurv i ve and the a t rways fi 11 r emai n safe 01s long a Ls there
will be a firm will to secure them General Clay will be tbe
garant
But ac DavLd Lawr-ence says Berlin is not the basic issue
for them~ the ~ims are much higher and fo~seeing
To make the si t ua t Lon clear I must go back ror some general r emarks Ih I s torn und is t r arrg e character what fs the remainder
of the old Germany developed from a 7 divided country (today 4)~ the f our occupation Zones American 1 Bri tkj sh French Ru s s Lan ~

the ~2~~ anci divided Into four zones) and the country behind
the Oder-Neisse-line given under Polishadministraiion part
in the North even under 30vietian one
Nevertheless the Po t sdam treaty anrted Germany to be considered
as an economic uni t including also transportation and traffic
so that the Berlin connections were no doubtful problem techshy

the blockade and were confirllleJafterards There should be no) bull reason to make them a speeial point for negotiations
Very soon it showed that n~ssiais politics of rudeless reparashy

Dear Mr Haldeman
I would like to start something I do hope that you and Mr Nixon will help me
To introduce myself - I am and have been a citizen of California since 1886
Being in yours and Mr Nixons mothers bracket I have seen many political campaigns
Of late and (perhaps earlier) they have slid down the stairs to the position of James M Barries ---- Tommy who at 3 with a companion of like vintage were on a stairway arguing their respective importance Said the companion My father were once at a hanging to which Tommy retorted My father were the man that were hanged
Now I find that though I come of a long-time politically minded family campaigns are becoming boresome Moreover I discover that a good many of my friends do not even listen To correct this sad situation my big idea---shy
This is the age of spaceT----- I see a space craft land A man steps from it and round him gather nearby people He does not know where he is or anything of this new land The inhabitants inform him that he is in the most beautiful of the fifty states of the USA Subsequently he learns that they need a leader He has no idea nor is he informed that there is an incumbent With leadership in mind he travels the state makes surveys of needs resources men and means and then makes suggestions of improvements and offers himself as a guide
There is absolutely no mention made of any opposition as to men or ideas He simply offers himself and his ideas (perhaps gleaned from outer space) and awaits the decision of the inhabitants
I think a campaign with a total blank in words as to anything but constructive thinking would draw the eyes and ears of all the people (and maybe the moon)
SIncerely (Miss) Mary R Marsh
PS The space man seeming to be totally deaf to any blasts or even words from opposition

~~ H R Haldeman Campaign Manager Nixon for Governor 3908 Wilshire Boulevard Los Angeles California
Dear Mr Haldeman
We are writing to you regarding 1~ Nixons campaign for Governor which we fully sUPDort We would like to make the folloWing points concerning the conduct of the campaign
(1) We have not yet seen Mr Nixon take advantage of his appeal (obviously greater than that of Governor Brown) to the women voters of california Women will vote for him if he addresses himself tomiddotthem using his natural appeal and forcefulness in such a way that they feel good because they support him Women will vote for him if he presents issues of specific interest and concern to them and if he presents himself as an appealing figure to them so that they are encouraged to support him without weak-kneed pleas from him for their assistance
(2) We have not yet seen Mr Nixon take Governor Brown to task over each and every stupid ill-timed idea he presents ie (an old idea) the abolition of capital punishment during the Chessman case when public sentiment was strongly against Chessman or (a new idea) the abolition of boXing in California when our public either likes or tolerates this sport and when Mr Parett was dying in New York of injuries from the Parett-Griffith fight while Governor Brown was making a play ~or pUblicity capitalizing upon this poor mans misfortune
D) Ne hope that Mr Nixon will not again be caught using the term carpetbaggers against the opposition in Washington This is emphatically in order but attacks must be made with more sUbtlety For example ideas may be crackpot but subtler terms such as unwarranted bids for publicity or ideas contrary to the welfare of the people are less apt to be ruthlessly attacked and capitalized upon by members of the opposition
With our best wishes to you and our hopes for t~ Nixons complete success we are

Att Robert Haldeman
Dear Mr Haldeman I oalled your offioe and you happened to be out so I talked to Mr
Turner and I thought I would pursue my telephone oonversation Just a little farther I referred Mr Turner to an artiole in the L08 Angeles Times of February 27 Half of the artiole I feel hit the nail right on the head but the other half took a slap at Mr Robert Weloh head of the John Biroh Sooiety Mr Haldeman as far as I am ooncerned I play the game to win and I feel that unless Mr Nixon stops being so high and mighty he is going to lose this election - andthis one we need real badly I know that Mr Nixons point is to disassooiate himself with tije John Biroh Sooiety but anyone with a grain of sense should know that they are not going to get off his baok one minute with the John Biroh Sooiety During the Presidential oampaign he oontinually tried to disassociate himself with CatholooisID and the Kennedy orowd saw to it that that never happened I feel that if an important dioishysion would arise then he oould comment on the John Biroh Sooiety beoause there are a lot of dedioated people at this point who are siok and tired of what has been going on and they are perhaps grabbing at straws They adopt the attitude Love me love my dog You never hear Governor Brown or Attorney General Mosk take a slap at the Amerioan Demooratio Assooiation or the radioal left wing I am not saying that they are tied in with this group but what I am saying is that they are not going to make these radioal left wingers mad enough not to get their votes
I will oontinue to do my little part in Temp City to try and upgrade the people who will be representing UB

suamer i 0 g liThe big prison II (Aug 028) and trBerlin is not theb~
sic issue Nobody could express the -situation bettet
You will reply perhaps - full of horror - that it would be a
real sin to risk the existence of the globe eventually because I
of Berlin - May I answer By our experiences with dictators we
knowthat every yielding mak~stheir appetite grow and tinally
leads to warwhereas every fir~ stand makes them take their

gone back and not have exposed themselves before all the world
as ivar mongers It was done by Ulbricht t s Vopos and not by Iiitssionsoldiersin fact-s~l~ething wouLd go wrong Ulbricht ~---
could be blamed
You must know that our mental depression is without limits
We feel hopeless aud f~ll of ~rustrating fury and deep mourn
when we thinkof our families and tricnds on the other side
There was a word said that pr-ec t t caLfy Ulbricht took what he
had already What an error and completely false judgement about
the situation -
Until August 13 there has been - though~ witft risk of life aud
property and loss of fanrily and friends - the always last
desperate possibili ty of the night into freedom In all
opprestion and t9rture - think of the conscience torments of
youngstels teachers j ministers j to speak only of some groups shy
there has been the saving hopefUl light of Berlins beacon
Th~ poor discourageO soul coul~ eventually for a day go over to
West Berlin write an importantB letter to children have a
phone-call to friends ill very lucky cases even meet a child
(hOli often could lie finance flights to Berlin from here for

speak of the last desperate at t empt s of flight - that

will be a firm will to secure them General Clay will be tbe

But ac DavLd Lawr-ence says Berlin is not the basic issue
for them~ the ~ims are much higher and fo~seeing
To make the si t ua t Lon clear I must go back ror some general r emarks Ih I s torn und is t r arrg e character what fs the remainder
of the old Germany developed from a 7 divided country (today 4)~ the f our occupation Zones American 1 Bri tkj sh French Ru s s Lan ~

the ~2~~ anci divided Into four zones) and the country behind

Nevertheless the Po t sdam treaty anrted Germany to be considered
as an economic uni t including also transportation and traffic
so that the Berlin connections were no doubtful problem techshy

Mr Robert Haldeman Nixon Headquarters Los Angeles California
Dear Mr Haldeman
I would like to start something I do hope that you and Mr Nixon will help me
To introduce myself - I am and have been a citizen of California since 1886
Being in yours and Mr Nixons mothers bracket I have seen many political campaigns
Of late and (perhaps earlier) they have slid down the stairs to the position of James M Barries ---- Tommy who at 3 with a companion of like vintage were on a stairway arguing their respective importance Said the companion My father were once at a hanging to which Tommy retorted My father were the man that were hanged
Now I find that though I come of a long-time politically minded family campaigns are becoming boresome Moreover I discover that a good many of my friends do not even listen To correct this sad situation my big idea---shy
This is the age of spaceT----- I see a space craft land A man steps from it and round him gather nearby people He does not know where he is or anything of this new land The inhabitants inform him that he is in the most beautiful of the fifty states of the USA Subsequently he learns that they need a leader He has no idea nor is he informed that there is an incumbent With leadership in mind he travels the state makes surveys of needs resources men and means and then makes suggestions of improvements and offers himself as a guide
There is absolutely no mention made of any opposition as to men or ideas He simply offers himself and his ideas (perhaps gleaned from outer space) and awaits the decision of the inhabitants
I think a campaign with a total blank in words as to anything but constructive thinking would draw the eyes and ears of all the people (and maybe the moon)
SIncerely (Miss) Mary R Marsh
PS The space man seeming to be totally deaf to any blasts or even words from opposition

~~ H R Haldeman Campaign Manager Nixon for Governor 3908 Wilshire Boulevard Los Angeles California
Dear Mr Haldeman
We are writing to you regarding 1~ Nixons campaign for Governor which we fully sUPDort We would like to make the folloWing points concerning the conduct of the campaign
(1) We have not yet seen Mr Nixon take advantage of his appeal (obviously greater than that of Governor Brown) to the women voters of california Women will vote for him if he addresses himself tomiddotthem using his natural appeal and forcefulness in such a way that they feel good because they support him Women will vote for him if he presents issues of specific interest and concern to them and if he presents himself as an appealing figure to them so that they are encouraged to support him without weak-kneed pleas from him for their assistance
(2) We have not yet seen Mr Nixon take Governor Brown to task over each and every stupid ill-timed idea he presents ie (an old idea) the abolition of capital punishment during the Chessman case when public sentiment was strongly against Chessman or (a new idea) the abolition of boXing in California when our public either likes or tolerates this sport and when Mr Parett was dying in New York of injuries from the Parett-Griffith fight while Governor Brown was making a play ~or pUblicity capitalizing upon this poor mans misfortune
D) Ne hope that Mr Nixon will not again be caught using the term carpetbaggers against the opposition in Washington This is emphatically in order but attacks must be made with more sUbtlety For example ideas may be crackpot but subtler terms such as unwarranted bids for publicity or ideas contrary to the welfare of the people are less apt to be ruthlessly attacked and capitalized upon by members of the opposition
With our best wishes to you and our hopes for t~ Nixons complete success we are

Att Robert Haldeman
Dear Mr Haldeman I oalled your offioe and you happened to be out so I talked to Mr
Turner and I thought I would pursue my telephone oonversation Just a little farther I referred Mr Turner to an artiole in the L08 Angeles Times of February 27 Half of the artiole I feel hit the nail right on the head but the other half took a slap at Mr Robert Weloh head of the John Biroh Sooiety Mr Haldeman as far as I am ooncerned I play the game to win and I feel that unless Mr Nixon stops being so high and mighty he is going to lose this election - andthis one we need real badly I know that Mr Nixons point is to disassooiate himself with tije John Biroh Sooiety but anyone with a grain of sense should know that they are not going to get off his baok one minute with the John Biroh Sooiety During the Presidential oampaign he oontinually tried to disassociate himself with CatholooisID and the Kennedy orowd saw to it that that never happened I feel that if an important dioishysion would arise then he oould comment on the John Biroh Sooiety beoause there are a lot of dedioated people at this point who are siok and tired of what has been going on and they are perhaps grabbing at straws They adopt the attitude Love me love my dog You never hear Governor Brown or Attorney General Mosk take a slap at the Amerioan Demooratio Assooiation or the radioal left wing I am not saying that they are tied in with this group but what I am saying is that they are not going to make these radioal left wingers mad enough not to get their votes

suamer i 0 g liThe big prison II (Aug 028) and trBerlin is not theb~
sic issue Nobody could express the -situation bettet
You will reply perhaps - full of horror - that it would be a
real sin to risk the existence of the globe eventually because I
of Berlin - May I answer By our experiences with dictators we
knowthat every yielding mak~stheir appetite grow and tinally
leads to warwhereas every fir~ stand makes them take their

of the ~agnificent effect of the Berlin airlift 19~9o And now
and here in the night of Augst 13thev would have yielded and ~~~~IJi-
gone back and not have exposed themselves before all the world
as ivar mongers It was done by Ulbricht t s Vopos and not by Iiitssionsoldiersin fact-s~l~ething wouLd go wrong Ulbricht ~---
could be blamed
You must know that our mental depression is without limits
We feel hopeless aud f~ll of ~rustrating fury and deep mourn
when we thinkof our families and tricnds on the other side
There was a word said that pr-ec t t caLfy Ulbricht took what he
had already What an error and completely false judgement about
the situation -
Until August 13 there has been - though~ witft risk of life aud
property and loss of fanrily and friends - the always last
desperate possibili ty of the night into freedom In all
opprestion and t9rture - think of the conscience torments of
youngstels teachers j ministers j to speak only of some groups shy
there has been the saving hopefUl light of Berlins beacon
Th~ poor discourageO soul coul~ eventually for a day go over to
West Berlin write an importantB letter to children have a
phone-call to friends ill very lucky cases even meet a child
(hOli often could lie finance flights to Berlin from here for
the children t) 0 01 they read a newspaper only and could go home
wi til fresh courage to iithstc~nd the daily threat again You know how the prisons are filled vi th the victims who failed to

This is one thing that change~basicly and the consequence
eluerged on the spot no r t niore observed by the freciorld the
Zone rUlers rUdelessly startedto tyrannize everybody als~ the
few privileged groups that they had flattered to hold them

will be a firm will to secure them General Clay will be tbe
garant
But ac DavLd Lawr-ence says Berlin is not the basic issue
for them~ the ~ims are much higher and fo~seeing
To make the si t ua t Lon clear I must go back ror some general r emarks Ih I s torn und is t r arrg e character what fs the remainder
of the old Germany developed from a 7 divided country (today 4)~ the f our occupation Zones American 1 Bri tkj sh French Ru s s Lan ~

the ~2~~ anci divided Into four zones) and the country behind
the Oder-Neisse-line given under Polishadministraiion part
in the North even under 30vietian one
Nevertheless the Po t sdam treaty anrted Germany to be considered
as an economic uni t including also transportation and traffic
so that the Berlin connections were no doubtful problem techshy

the blockade and were confirllleJafterards There should be no) bull reason to make them a speeial point for negotiations
Very soon it showed that n~ssiais politics of rudeless reparashy

Dear Mr Haldeman
I would like to start something I do hope that you and Mr Nixon will help me
To introduce myself - I am and have been a citizen of California since 1886
Being in yours and Mr Nixons mothers bracket I have seen many political campaigns
Of late and (perhaps earlier) they have slid down the stairs to the position of James M Barries ---- Tommy who at 3 with a companion of like vintage were on a stairway arguing their respective importance Said the companion My father were once at a hanging to which Tommy retorted My father were the man that were hanged
Now I find that though I come of a long-time politically minded family campaigns are becoming boresome Moreover I discover that a good many of my friends do not even listen To correct this sad situation my big idea---shy
This is the age of spaceT----- I see a space craft land A man steps from it and round him gather nearby people He does not know where he is or anything of this new land The inhabitants inform him that he is in the most beautiful of the fifty states of the USA Subsequently he learns that they need a leader He has no idea nor is he informed that there is an incumbent With leadership in mind he travels the state makes surveys of needs resources men and means and then makes suggestions of improvements and offers himself as a guide
There is absolutely no mention made of any opposition as to men or ideas He simply offers himself and his ideas (perhaps gleaned from outer space) and awaits the decision of the inhabitants
I think a campaign with a total blank in words as to anything but constructive thinking would draw the eyes and ears of all the people (and maybe the moon)
SIncerely (Miss) Mary R Marsh
PS The space man seeming to be totally deaf to any blasts or even words from opposition

~~ H R Haldeman Campaign Manager Nixon for Governor 3908 Wilshire Boulevard Los Angeles California
Dear Mr Haldeman
We are writing to you regarding 1~ Nixons campaign for Governor which we fully sUPDort We would like to make the folloWing points concerning the conduct of the campaign
(1) We have not yet seen Mr Nixon take advantage of his appeal (obviously greater than that of Governor Brown) to the women voters of california Women will vote for him if he addresses himself tomiddotthem using his natural appeal and forcefulness in such a way that they feel good because they support him Women will vote for him if he presents issues of specific interest and concern to them and if he presents himself as an appealing figure to them so that they are encouraged to support him without weak-kneed pleas from him for their assistance
(2) We have not yet seen Mr Nixon take Governor Brown to task over each and every stupid ill-timed idea he presents ie (an old idea) the abolition of capital punishment during the Chessman case when public sentiment was strongly against Chessman or (a new idea) the abolition of boXing in California when our public either likes or tolerates this sport and when Mr Parett was dying in New York of injuries from the Parett-Griffith fight while Governor Brown was making a play ~or pUblicity capitalizing upon this poor mans misfortune
D) Ne hope that Mr Nixon will not again be caught using the term carpetbaggers against the opposition in Washington This is emphatically in order but attacks must be made with more sUbtlety For example ideas may be crackpot but subtler terms such as unwarranted bids for publicity or ideas contrary to the welfare of the people are less apt to be ruthlessly attacked and capitalized upon by members of the opposition
With our best wishes to you and our hopes for t~ Nixons complete success we are

Turner and I thought I would pursue my telephone oonversation Just a little farther I referred Mr Turner to an artiole in the L08 Angeles Times of February 27 Half of the artiole I feel hit the nail right on the head but the other half took a slap at Mr Robert Weloh head of the John Biroh Sooiety Mr Haldeman as far as I am ooncerned I play the game to win and I feel that unless Mr Nixon stops being so high and mighty he is going to lose this election - andthis one we need real badly I know that Mr Nixons point is to disassooiate himself with tije John Biroh Sooiety but anyone with a grain of sense should know that they are not going to get off his baok one minute with the John Biroh Sooiety During the Presidential oampaign he oontinually tried to disassociate himself with CatholooisID and the Kennedy orowd saw to it that that never happened I feel that if an important dioishysion would arise then he oould comment on the John Biroh Sooiety beoause there are a lot of dedioated people at this point who are siok and tired of what has been going on and they are perhaps grabbing at straws They adopt the attitude Love me love my dog You never hear Governor Brown or Attorney General Mosk take a slap at the Amerioan Demooratio Assooiation or the radioal left wing I am not saying that they are tied in with this group but what I am saying is that they are not going to make these radioal left wingers mad enough not to get their votes
I will oontinue to do my little part in Temp City to try and upgrade the people who will be representing UB

Dear friends in the States

enough to take the risksII as the risl has not been taken in
this very case c-lease do read what David Lawrence said in his UoSoNews and World Report in many excellent articles this
suamer i 0 g liThe big prison II (Aug 028) and trBerlin is not theb~
sic issue Nobody could express the -situation bettet
You will reply perhaps - full of horror - that it would be a
real sin to risk the existence of the globe eventually because I
of Berlin - May I answer By our experiences with dictators we
knowthat every yielding mak~stheir appetite grow and tinally
leads to warwhereas every fir~ stand makes them take their
roo t back Do tllinlc o f Hf t Ler vg oLng into Csechoslovakia and ~_~~~__~___middot___~~~~_W gt - c

of the ~agnificent effect of the Berlin airlift 19~9o And now
and here in the night of Augst 13thev would have yielded and ~~~~IJi-
gone back and not have exposed themselves before all the world
as ivar mongers It was done by Ulbricht t s Vopos and not by Iiitssionsoldiersin fact-s~l~ething wouLd go wrong Ulbricht ~---
could be blamed
You must know that our mental depression is without limits
We feel hopeless aud f~ll of ~rustrating fury and deep mourn
when we thinkof our families and tricnds on the other side
There was a word said that pr-ec t t caLfy Ulbricht took what he
had already What an error and completely false judgement about
the situation -
Until August 13 there has been - though~ witft risk of life aud
property and loss of fanrily and friends - the always last
desperate possibili ty of the night into freedom In all
opprestion and t9rture - think of the conscience torments of
youngstels teachers j ministers j to speak only of some groups shy
there has been the saving hopefUl light of Berlins beacon
Th~ poor discourageO soul coul~ eventually for a day go over to
West Berlin write an importantB letter to children have a
phone-call to friends ill very lucky cases even meet a child
(hOli often could lie finance flights to Berlin from here for
the children t) 0 01 they read a newspaper only and could go home
wi til fresh courage to iithstc~nd the daily threat again You know how the prisons are filled vi th the victims who failed to

speak of the last desperate at t empt s of flight - that
over Berlin has lost her s opranat LnnaI nleaninglls the only
spot in the wor Ld that has day for day been wi ths t and Lng
c onnnunIsnrdn a$Ollstant aI1dV~Jf~Nchallenge~ an iencour-ag ing and

This is one thing that change~basicly and the consequence
eluerged on the spot no r t niore observed by the freciorld the
Zone rUlers rUdelessly startedto tyrannize everybody als~ the
few privileged groups that they had flattered to hold them
s o t ent i s t s mcdicalrpen tchnicians The who Le Zone is an army

point Ber Li n as a 1h01e is lost but lt[est Berlin of course0
will aurv i ve and the a t rways fi 11 r emai n safe 01s long a Ls there
will be a firm will to secure them General Clay will be tbe
garant
But ac DavLd Lawr-ence says Berlin is not the basic issue
for them~ the ~ims are much higher and fo~seeing
To make the si t ua t Lon clear I must go back ror some general r emarks Ih I s torn und is t r arrg e character what fs the remainder
of the old Germany developed from a 7 divided country (today 4)~ the f our occupation Zones American 1 Bri tkj sh French Ru s s Lan ~

the ~2~~ anci divided Into four zones) and the country behind
the Oder-Neisse-line given under Polishadministraiion part
in the North even under 30vietian one
Nevertheless the Po t sdam treaty anrted Germany to be considered
as an economic uni t including also transportation and traffic
so that the Berlin connections were no doubtful problem techshy
n ic a I modali ties being agr3Cd about They even worke d during
the blockade and were confirllleJafterards There should be no) bull reason to make them a speeial point for negotiations

I would like to start something I do hope that you and Mr Nixon will help me
To introduce myself - I am and have been a citizen of California since 1886
Being in yours and Mr Nixons mothers bracket I have seen many political campaigns
Of late and (perhaps earlier) they have slid down the stairs to the position of James M Barries ---- Tommy who at 3 with a companion of like vintage were on a stairway arguing their respective importance Said the companion My father were once at a hanging to which Tommy retorted My father were the man that were hanged
Now I find that though I come of a long-time politically minded family campaigns are becoming boresome Moreover I discover that a good many of my friends do not even listen To correct this sad situation my big idea---shy
This is the age of spaceT----- I see a space craft land A man steps from it and round him gather nearby people He does not know where he is or anything of this new land The inhabitants inform him that he is in the most beautiful of the fifty states of the USA Subsequently he learns that they need a leader He has no idea nor is he informed that there is an incumbent With leadership in mind he travels the state makes surveys of needs resources men and means and then makes suggestions of improvements and offers himself as a guide
There is absolutely no mention made of any opposition as to men or ideas He simply offers himself and his ideas (perhaps gleaned from outer space) and awaits the decision of the inhabitants
I think a campaign with a total blank in words as to anything but constructive thinking would draw the eyes and ears of all the people (and maybe the moon)
SIncerely (Miss) Mary R Marsh
PS The space man seeming to be totally deaf to any blasts or even words from opposition

We ~re gteatly disturled by the mounting cri tieism of him It is not too late for him to rectify mattera but he will certainly need tochan~e hi~ ta~tie8

One of the consultants for the Liberal Papers Marcus Baskin has turn~d up at r~neva 88 an advisor to the United states disarmament delepationo

~~ H R Haldeman Campaign Manager Nixon for Governor 3908 Wilshire Boulevard Los Angeles California
Dear Mr Haldeman
We are writing to you regarding 1~ Nixons campaign for Governor which we fully sUPDort We would like to make the folloWing points concerning the conduct of the campaign
(1) We have not yet seen Mr Nixon take advantage of his appeal (obviously greater than that of Governor Brown) to the women voters of california Women will vote for him if he addresses himself tomiddotthem using his natural appeal and forcefulness in such a way that they feel good because they support him Women will vote for him if he presents issues of specific interest and concern to them and if he presents himself as an appealing figure to them so that they are encouraged to support him without weak-kneed pleas from him for their assistance
(2) We have not yet seen Mr Nixon take Governor Brown to task over each and every stupid ill-timed idea he presents ie (an old idea) the abolition of capital punishment during the Chessman case when public sentiment was strongly against Chessman or (a new idea) the abolition of boXing in California when our public either likes or tolerates this sport and when Mr Parett was dying in New York of injuries from the Parett-Griffith fight while Governor Brown was making a play ~or pUblicity capitalizing upon this poor mans misfortune
D) Ne hope that Mr Nixon will not again be caught using the term carpetbaggers against the opposition in Washington This is emphatically in order but attacks must be made with more sUbtlety For example ideas may be crackpot but subtler terms such as unwarranted bids for publicity or ideas contrary to the welfare of the people are less apt to be ruthlessly attacked and capitalized upon by members of the opposition
With our best wishes to you and our hopes for t~ Nixons complete success we are

Att Robert Haldeman
Dear Mr Haldeman I oalled your offioe and you happened to be out so I talked to Mr
Turner and I thought I would pursue my telephone oonversation Just a little farther I referred Mr Turner to an artiole in the L08 Angeles Times of February 27 Half of the artiole I feel hit the nail right on the head but the other half took a slap at Mr Robert Weloh head of the John Biroh Sooiety Mr Haldeman as far as I am ooncerned I play the game to win and I feel that unless Mr Nixon stops being so high and mighty he is going to lose this election - andthis one we need real badly I know that Mr Nixons point is to disassooiate himself with tije John Biroh Sooiety but anyone with a grain of sense should know that they are not going to get off his baok one minute with the John Biroh Sooiety During the Presidential oampaign he oontinually tried to disassociate himself with CatholooisID and the Kennedy orowd saw to it that that never happened I feel that if an important dioishysion would arise then he oould comment on the John Biroh Sooiety beoause there are a lot of dedioated people at this point who are siok and tired of what has been going on and they are perhaps grabbing at straws They adopt the attitude Love me love my dog You never hear Governor Brown or Attorney General Mosk take a slap at the Amerioan Demooratio Assooiation or the radioal left wing I am not saying that they are tied in with this group but what I am saying is that they are not going to make these radioal left wingers mad enough not to get their votes
I will oontinue to do my little part in Temp City to try and upgrade the people who will be representing UB

You will reply perhaps - full of horror - that it would be a
real sin to risk the existence of the globe eventually because I
of Berlin - May I answer By our experiences with dictators we
knowthat every yielding mak~stheir appetite grow and tinally
leads to warwhereas every fir~ stand makes them take their

gone back and not have exposed themselves before all the world
as ivar mongers It was done by Ulbricht t s Vopos and not by Iiitssionsoldiersin fact-s~l~ething wouLd go wrong Ulbricht ~---
could be blamed
You must know that our mental depression is without limits
We feel hopeless aud f~ll of ~rustrating fury and deep mourn
when we thinkof our families and tricnds on the other side
There was a word said that pr-ec t t caLfy Ulbricht took what he
had already What an error and completely false judgement about
the situation -
Until August 13 there has been - though~ witft risk of life aud
property and loss of fanrily and friends - the always last
desperate possibili ty of the night into freedom In all
opprestion and t9rture - think of the conscience torments of
youngstels teachers j ministers j to speak only of some groups shy
there has been the saving hopefUl light of Berlins beacon
Th~ poor discourageO soul coul~ eventually for a day go over to
West Berlin write an importantB letter to children have a
phone-call to friends ill very lucky cases even meet a child
(hOli often could lie finance flights to Berlin from here for
the children t) 0 01 they read a newspaper only and could go home
wi til fresh courage to iithstc~nd the daily threat again You know how the prisons are filled vi th the victims who failed to

Nevertheless the Po t sdam treaty anrted Germany to be considered

Dear Mr Haldeman
I would like to start something I do hope that you and Mr Nixon will help me
To introduce myself - I am and have been a citizen of California since 1886
Being in yours and Mr Nixons mothers bracket I have seen many political campaigns
Of late and (perhaps earlier) they have slid down the stairs to the position of James M Barries ---- Tommy who at 3 with a companion of like vintage were on a stairway arguing their respective importance Said the companion My father were once at a hanging to which Tommy retorted My father were the man that were hanged
Now I find that though I come of a long-time politically minded family campaigns are becoming boresome Moreover I discover that a good many of my friends do not even listen To correct this sad situation my big idea---shy
This is the age of spaceT----- I see a space craft land A man steps from it and round him gather nearby people He does not know where he is or anything of this new land The inhabitants inform him that he is in the most beautiful of the fifty states of the USA Subsequently he learns that they need a leader He has no idea nor is he informed that there is an incumbent With leadership in mind he travels the state makes surveys of needs resources men and means and then makes suggestions of improvements and offers himself as a guide
There is absolutely no mention made of any opposition as to men or ideas He simply offers himself and his ideas (perhaps gleaned from outer space) and awaits the decision of the inhabitants
I think a campaign with a total blank in words as to anything but constructive thinking would draw the eyes and ears of all the people (and maybe the moon)
SIncerely (Miss) Mary R Marsh
PS The space man seeming to be totally deaf to any blasts or even words from opposition

~~ H R Haldeman Campaign Manager Nixon for Governor 3908 Wilshire Boulevard Los Angeles California
Dear Mr Haldeman
We are writing to you regarding 1~ Nixons campaign for Governor which we fully sUPDort We would like to make the folloWing points concerning the conduct of the campaign
(1) We have not yet seen Mr Nixon take advantage of his appeal (obviously greater than that of Governor Brown) to the women voters of california Women will vote for him if he addresses himself tomiddotthem using his natural appeal and forcefulness in such a way that they feel good because they support him Women will vote for him if he presents issues of specific interest and concern to them and if he presents himself as an appealing figure to them so that they are encouraged to support him without weak-kneed pleas from him for their assistance
(2) We have not yet seen Mr Nixon take Governor Brown to task over each and every stupid ill-timed idea he presents ie (an old idea) the abolition of capital punishment during the Chessman case when public sentiment was strongly against Chessman or (a new idea) the abolition of boXing in California when our public either likes or tolerates this sport and when Mr Parett was dying in New York of injuries from the Parett-Griffith fight while Governor Brown was making a play ~or pUblicity capitalizing upon this poor mans misfortune
D) Ne hope that Mr Nixon will not again be caught using the term carpetbaggers against the opposition in Washington This is emphatically in order but attacks must be made with more sUbtlety For example ideas may be crackpot but subtler terms such as unwarranted bids for publicity or ideas contrary to the welfare of the people are less apt to be ruthlessly attacked and capitalized upon by members of the opposition
With our best wishes to you and our hopes for t~ Nixons complete success we are

Att Robert Haldeman
Dear Mr Haldeman I oalled your offioe and you happened to be out so I talked to Mr
Turner and I thought I would pursue my telephone oonversation Just a little farther I referred Mr Turner to an artiole in the L08 Angeles Times of February 27 Half of the artiole I feel hit the nail right on the head but the other half took a slap at Mr Robert Weloh head of the John Biroh Sooiety Mr Haldeman as far as I am ooncerned I play the game to win and I feel that unless Mr Nixon stops being so high and mighty he is going to lose this election - andthis one we need real badly I know that Mr Nixons point is to disassooiate himself with tije John Biroh Sooiety but anyone with a grain of sense should know that they are not going to get off his baok one minute with the John Biroh Sooiety During the Presidential oampaign he oontinually tried to disassociate himself with CatholooisID and the Kennedy orowd saw to it that that never happened I feel that if an important dioishysion would arise then he oould comment on the John Biroh Sooiety beoause there are a lot of dedioated people at this point who are siok and tired of what has been going on and they are perhaps grabbing at straws They adopt the attitude Love me love my dog You never hear Governor Brown or Attorney General Mosk take a slap at the Amerioan Demooratio Assooiation or the radioal left wing I am not saying that they are tied in with this group but what I am saying is that they are not going to make these radioal left wingers mad enough not to get their votes
I will oontinue to do my little part in Temp City to try and upgrade the people who will be representing UB

enough to take the risksII as the risl has not been taken in
this very case c-lease do read what David Lawrence said in his UoSoNews and World Report in many excellent articles this
suamer i 0 g liThe big prison II (Aug 028) and trBerlin is not theb~
sic issue Nobody could express the -situation bettet
You will reply perhaps - full of horror - that it would be a
real sin to risk the existence of the globe eventually because I
of Berlin - May I answer By our experiences with dictators we
knowthat every yielding mak~stheir appetite grow and tinally
leads to warwhereas every fir~ stand makes them take their
roo t back Do tllinlc o f Hf t Ler vg oLng into Csechoslovakia and ~_~~~__~___middot___~~~~_W gt - c

of the ~agnificent effect of the Berlin airlift 19~9o And now
and here in the night of Augst 13thev would have yielded and ~~~~IJi-
gone back and not have exposed themselves before all the world
as ivar mongers It was done by Ulbricht t s Vopos and not by Iiitssionsoldiersin fact-s~l~ething wouLd go wrong Ulbricht ~---
could be blamed
You must know that our mental depression is without limits
We feel hopeless aud f~ll of ~rustrating fury and deep mourn
when we thinkof our families and tricnds on the other side
There was a word said that pr-ec t t caLfy Ulbricht took what he
had already What an error and completely false judgement about
the situation -
Until August 13 there has been - though~ witft risk of life aud
property and loss of fanrily and friends - the always last
desperate possibili ty of the night into freedom In all
opprestion and t9rture - think of the conscience torments of
youngstels teachers j ministers j to speak only of some groups shy
there has been the saving hopefUl light of Berlins beacon
Th~ poor discourageO soul coul~ eventually for a day go over to
West Berlin write an importantB letter to children have a
phone-call to friends ill very lucky cases even meet a child
(hOli often could lie finance flights to Berlin from here for
the children t) 0 01 they read a newspaper only and could go home
wi til fresh courage to iithstc~nd the daily threat again You know how the prisons are filled vi th the victims who failed to
save themselves and kOO11 that ~hree million pe op Le vwent the

speak of the last desperate at t empt s of flight - that
over Berlin has lost her s opranat LnnaI nleaninglls the only
spot in the wor Ld that has day for day been wi ths t and Lng
c onnnunIsnrdn a$Ollstant aI1dV~Jf~Nchallenge~ an iencour-ag ing and
imaginative example for the free world
This is one thing that change~basicly and the consequence
eluerged on the spot no r t niore observed by the freciorld the
Zone rUlers rUdelessly startedto tyrannize everybody als~ the
few privileged groups that they had flattered to hold them
s o t ent i s t s mcdicalrpen tchnicians The who Le Zone is an army
theater now and we l~st a strategically enormous important
point Ber Li n as a 1h01e is lost but lt[est Berlin of course0
will aurv i ve and the a t rways fi 11 r emai n safe 01s long a Ls there
will be a firm will to secure them General Clay will be tbe
garant
But ac DavLd Lawr-ence says Berlin is not the basic issue
for them~ the ~ims are much higher and fo~seeing
To make the si t ua t Lon clear I must go back ror some general r emarks Ih I s torn und is t r arrg e character what fs the remainder
of the old Germany developed from a 7 divided country (today 4)~ the f our occupation Zones American 1 Bri tkj sh French Ru s s Lan ~

the ~2~~ anci divided Into four zones) and the country behind
the Oder-Neisse-line given under Polishadministraiion part
in the North even under 30vietian one
Nevertheless the Po t sdam treaty anrted Germany to be considered
as an economic uni t including also transportation and traffic
so that the Berlin connections were no doubtful problem techshy
n ic a I modali ties being agr3Cd about They even worke d during
the blockade and were confirllleJafterards There should be no) bull reason to make them a speeial point for negotiations
Very soon it showed that n~ssiais politics of rudeless reparashy

Dear Mr Haldeman
I would like to start something I do hope that you and Mr Nixon will help me
To introduce myself - I am and have been a citizen of California since 1886
Being in yours and Mr Nixons mothers bracket I have seen many political campaigns
Of late and (perhaps earlier) they have slid down the stairs to the position of James M Barries ---- Tommy who at 3 with a companion of like vintage were on a stairway arguing their respective importance Said the companion My father were once at a hanging to which Tommy retorted My father were the man that were hanged
Now I find that though I come of a long-time politically minded family campaigns are becoming boresome Moreover I discover that a good many of my friends do not even listen To correct this sad situation my big idea---shy
This is the age of spaceT----- I see a space craft land A man steps from it and round him gather nearby people He does not know where he is or anything of this new land The inhabitants inform him that he is in the most beautiful of the fifty states of the USA Subsequently he learns that they need a leader He has no idea nor is he informed that there is an incumbent With leadership in mind he travels the state makes surveys of needs resources men and means and then makes suggestions of improvements and offers himself as a guide
There is absolutely no mention made of any opposition as to men or ideas He simply offers himself and his ideas (perhaps gleaned from outer space) and awaits the decision of the inhabitants
I think a campaign with a total blank in words as to anything but constructive thinking would draw the eyes and ears of all the people (and maybe the moon)
SIncerely (Miss) Mary R Marsh
PS The space man seeming to be totally deaf to any blasts or even words from opposition

~~ H R Haldeman Campaign Manager Nixon for Governor 3908 Wilshire Boulevard Los Angeles California
Dear Mr Haldeman
We are writing to you regarding 1~ Nixons campaign for Governor which we fully sUPDort We would like to make the folloWing points concerning the conduct of the campaign
(1) We have not yet seen Mr Nixon take advantage of his appeal (obviously greater than that of Governor Brown) to the women voters of california Women will vote for him if he addresses himself tomiddotthem using his natural appeal and forcefulness in such a way that they feel good because they support him Women will vote for him if he presents issues of specific interest and concern to them and if he presents himself as an appealing figure to them so that they are encouraged to support him without weak-kneed pleas from him for their assistance
(2) We have not yet seen Mr Nixon take Governor Brown to task over each and every stupid ill-timed idea he presents ie (an old idea) the abolition of capital punishment during the Chessman case when public sentiment was strongly against Chessman or (a new idea) the abolition of boXing in California when our public either likes or tolerates this sport and when Mr Parett was dying in New York of injuries from the Parett-Griffith fight while Governor Brown was making a play ~or pUblicity capitalizing upon this poor mans misfortune
D) Ne hope that Mr Nixon will not again be caught using the term carpetbaggers against the opposition in Washington This is emphatically in order but attacks must be made with more sUbtlety For example ideas may be crackpot but subtler terms such as unwarranted bids for publicity or ideas contrary to the welfare of the people are less apt to be ruthlessly attacked and capitalized upon by members of the opposition
With our best wishes to you and our hopes for t~ Nixons complete success we are

Att Robert Haldeman
Dear Mr Haldeman I oalled your offioe and you happened to be out so I talked to Mr
Turner and I thought I would pursue my telephone oonversation Just a little farther I referred Mr Turner to an artiole in the L08 Angeles Times of February 27 Half of the artiole I feel hit the nail right on the head but the other half took a slap at Mr Robert Weloh head of the John Biroh Sooiety Mr Haldeman as far as I am ooncerned I play the game to win and I feel that unless Mr Nixon stops being so high and mighty he is going to lose this election - andthis one we need real badly I know that Mr Nixons point is to disassooiate himself with tije John Biroh Sooiety but anyone with a grain of sense should know that they are not going to get off his baok one minute with the John Biroh Sooiety During the Presidential oampaign he oontinually tried to disassociate himself with CatholooisID and the Kennedy orowd saw to it that that never happened I feel that if an important dioishysion would arise then he oould comment on the John Biroh Sooiety beoause there are a lot of dedioated people at this point who are siok and tired of what has been going on and they are perhaps grabbing at straws They adopt the attitude Love me love my dog You never hear Governor Brown or Attorney General Mosk take a slap at the Amerioan Demooratio Assooiation or the radioal left wing I am not saying that they are tied in with this group but what I am saying is that they are not going to make these radioal left wingers mad enough not to get their votes

enough to take the risksII as the risl has not been taken in

sic issue Nobody could express the -situation bettet
You will reply perhaps - full of horror - that it would be a
real sin to risk the existence of the globe eventually because I
of Berlin - May I answer By our experiences with dictators we
knowthat every yielding mak~stheir appetite grow and tinally
leads to warwhereas every fir~ stand makes them take their

gone back and not have exposed themselves before all the world
as ivar mongers It was done by Ulbricht t s Vopos and not by Iiitssionsoldiersin fact-s~l~ething wouLd go wrong Ulbricht ~---
could be blamed
You must know that our mental depression is without limits
We feel hopeless aud f~ll of ~rustrating fury and deep mourn
when we thinkof our families and tricnds on the other side
There was a word said that pr-ec t t caLfy Ulbricht took what he
had already What an error and completely false judgement about
the situation -
Until August 13 there has been - though~ witft risk of life aud
property and loss of fanrily and friends - the always last
desperate possibili ty of the night into freedom In all
opprestion and t9rture - think of the conscience torments of
youngstels teachers j ministers j to speak only of some groups shy
there has been the saving hopefUl light of Berlins beacon
Th~ poor discourageO soul coul~ eventually for a day go over to
West Berlin write an importantB letter to children have a
phone-call to friends ill very lucky cases even meet a child
(hOli often could lie finance flights to Berlin from here for
the children t) 0 01 they read a newspaper only and could go home

But ac DavLd Lawr-ence says Berlin is not the basic issue
for them~ the ~ims are much higher and fo~seeing
To make the si t ua t Lon clear I must go back ror some general r emarks Ih I s torn und is t r arrg e character what fs the remainder

in the North even under 30vietian one
Nevertheless the Po t sdam treaty anrted Germany to be considered
as an economic uni t including also transportation and traffic
so that the Berlin connections were no doubtful problem techshy

Dear Mr Haldeman
I would like to start something I do hope that you and Mr Nixon will help me
To introduce myself - I am and have been a citizen of California since 1886
Being in yours and Mr Nixons mothers bracket I have seen many political campaigns
Of late and (perhaps earlier) they have slid down the stairs to the position of James M Barries ---- Tommy who at 3 with a companion of like vintage were on a stairway arguing their respective importance Said the companion My father were once at a hanging to which Tommy retorted My father were the man that were hanged
Now I find that though I come of a long-time politically minded family campaigns are becoming boresome Moreover I discover that a good many of my friends do not even listen To correct this sad situation my big idea---shy
This is the age of spaceT----- I see a space craft land A man steps from it and round him gather nearby people He does not know where he is or anything of this new land The inhabitants inform him that he is in the most beautiful of the fifty states of the USA Subsequently he learns that they need a leader He has no idea nor is he informed that there is an incumbent With leadership in mind he travels the state makes surveys of needs resources men and means and then makes suggestions of improvements and offers himself as a guide
There is absolutely no mention made of any opposition as to men or ideas He simply offers himself and his ideas (perhaps gleaned from outer space) and awaits the decision of the inhabitants
I think a campaign with a total blank in words as to anything but constructive thinking would draw the eyes and ears of all the people (and maybe the moon)
SIncerely (Miss) Mary R Marsh
PS The space man seeming to be totally deaf to any blasts or even words from opposition

~~ H R Haldeman Campaign Manager Nixon for Governor 3908 Wilshire Boulevard Los Angeles California
Dear Mr Haldeman
We are writing to you regarding 1~ Nixons campaign for Governor which we fully sUPDort We would like to make the folloWing points concerning the conduct of the campaign
(1) We have not yet seen Mr Nixon take advantage of his appeal (obviously greater than that of Governor Brown) to the women voters of california Women will vote for him if he addresses himself tomiddotthem using his natural appeal and forcefulness in such a way that they feel good because they support him Women will vote for him if he presents issues of specific interest and concern to them and if he presents himself as an appealing figure to them so that they are encouraged to support him without weak-kneed pleas from him for their assistance
(2) We have not yet seen Mr Nixon take Governor Brown to task over each and every stupid ill-timed idea he presents ie (an old idea) the abolition of capital punishment during the Chessman case when public sentiment was strongly against Chessman or (a new idea) the abolition of boXing in California when our public either likes or tolerates this sport and when Mr Parett was dying in New York of injuries from the Parett-Griffith fight while Governor Brown was making a play ~or pUblicity capitalizing upon this poor mans misfortune
D) Ne hope that Mr Nixon will not again be caught using the term carpetbaggers against the opposition in Washington This is emphatically in order but attacks must be made with more sUbtlety For example ideas may be crackpot but subtler terms such as unwarranted bids for publicity or ideas contrary to the welfare of the people are less apt to be ruthlessly attacked and capitalized upon by members of the opposition
With our best wishes to you and our hopes for t~ Nixons complete success we are

Att Robert Haldeman
Dear Mr Haldeman I oalled your offioe and you happened to be out so I talked to Mr
Turner and I thought I would pursue my telephone oonversation Just a little farther I referred Mr Turner to an artiole in the L08 Angeles Times of February 27 Half of the artiole I feel hit the nail right on the head but the other half took a slap at Mr Robert Weloh head of the John Biroh Sooiety Mr Haldeman as far as I am ooncerned I play the game to win and I feel that unless Mr Nixon stops being so high and mighty he is going to lose this election - andthis one we need real badly I know that Mr Nixons point is to disassooiate himself with tije John Biroh Sooiety but anyone with a grain of sense should know that they are not going to get off his baok one minute with the John Biroh Sooiety During the Presidential oampaign he oontinually tried to disassociate himself with CatholooisID and the Kennedy orowd saw to it that that never happened I feel that if an important dioishysion would arise then he oould comment on the John Biroh Sooiety beoause there are a lot of dedioated people at this point who are siok and tired of what has been going on and they are perhaps grabbing at straws They adopt the attitude Love me love my dog You never hear Governor Brown or Attorney General Mosk take a slap at the Amerioan Demooratio Assooiation or the radioal left wing I am not saying that they are tied in with this group but what I am saying is that they are not going to make these radioal left wingers mad enough not to get their votes
I will oontinue to do my little part in Temp City to try and upgrade the people who will be representing UB

Dear friends in the States

enough to take the risksII as the risl has not been taken in
this very case c-lease do read what David Lawrence said in his UoSoNews and World Report in many excellent articles this
suamer i 0 g liThe big prison II (Aug 028) and trBerlin is not theb~
sic issue Nobody could express the -situation bettet
You will reply perhaps - full of horror - that it would be a
real sin to risk the existence of the globe eventually because I
of Berlin - May I answer By our experiences with dictators we
knowthat every yielding mak~stheir appetite grow and tinally
leads to warwhereas every fir~ stand makes them take their
roo t back Do tllinlc o f Hf t Ler vg oLng into Csechoslovakia and ~_~~~__~___middot___~~~~_W gt - c
Austria wi t hout- ~indhlb resistance do~l~inlc in the contrary
of the ~agnificent effect of the Berlin airlift 19~9o And now
and here in the night of Augst 13thev would have yielded and ~~~~IJi-
gone back and not have exposed themselves before all the world
as ivar mongers It was done by Ulbricht t s Vopos and not by Iiitssionsoldiersin fact-s~l~ething wouLd go wrong Ulbricht ~---
could be blamed
You must know that our mental depression is without limits
We feel hopeless aud f~ll of ~rustrating fury and deep mourn
when we thinkof our families and tricnds on the other side
There was a word said that pr-ec t t caLfy Ulbricht took what he
had already What an error and completely false judgement about
the situation -
Until August 13 there has been - though~ witft risk of life aud
property and loss of fanrily and friends - the always last
desperate possibili ty of the night into freedom In all
opprestion and t9rture - think of the conscience torments of
youngstels teachers j ministers j to speak only of some groups shy
there has been the saving hopefUl light of Berlins beacon
Th~ poor discourageO soul coul~ eventually for a day go over to
West Berlin write an importantB letter to children have a
phone-call to friends ill very lucky cases even meet a child
(hOli often could lie finance flights to Berlin from here for
the children t) 0 01 they read a newspaper only and could go home
wi til fresh courage to iithstc~nd the daily threat again You know how the prisons are filled vi th the victims who failed to
save themselves and kOO11 that ~hree million pe op Le vwent the

speak of the last desperate at t empt s of flight - that
over Berlin has lost her s opranat LnnaI nleaninglls the only
spot in the wor Ld that has day for day been wi ths t and Lng
c onnnunIsnrdn a$Ollstant aI1dV~Jf~Nchallenge~ an iencour-ag ing and
imaginative example for the free world
This is one thing that change~basicly and the consequence
eluerged on the spot no r t niore observed by the freciorld the
Zone rUlers rUdelessly startedto tyrannize everybody als~ the
few privileged groups that they had flattered to hold them
s o t ent i s t s mcdicalrpen tchnicians The who Le Zone is an army
theater now and we l~st a strategically enormous important
point Ber Li n as a 1h01e is lost but lt[est Berlin of course0
will aurv i ve and the a t rways fi 11 r emai n safe 01s long a Ls there
will be a firm will to secure them General Clay will be tbe
garant
But ac DavLd Lawr-ence says Berlin is not the basic issue
for them~ the ~ims are much higher and fo~seeing
To make the si t ua t Lon clear I must go back ror some general r emarks Ih I s torn und is t r arrg e character what fs the remainder
of the old Germany developed from a 7 divided country (today 4)~ the f our occupation Zones American 1 Bri tkj sh French Ru s s Lan ~

the ~2~~ anci divided Into four zones) and the country behind
the Oder-Neisse-line given under Polishadministraiion part
in the North even under 30vietian one
Nevertheless the Po t sdam treaty anrted Germany to be considered
as an economic uni t including also transportation and traffic
so that the Berlin connections were no doubtful problem techshy
n ic a I modali ties being agr3Cd about They even worke d during
the blockade and were confirllleJafterards There should be no) bull reason to make them a speeial point for negotiations
Very soon it showed that n~ssiais politics of rudeless reparashy

Dear Mr Haldeman
I would like to start something I do hope that you and Mr Nixon will help me
To introduce myself - I am and have been a citizen of California since 1886
Being in yours and Mr Nixons mothers bracket I have seen many political campaigns
Of late and (perhaps earlier) they have slid down the stairs to the position of James M Barries ---- Tommy who at 3 with a companion of like vintage were on a stairway arguing their respective importance Said the companion My father were once at a hanging to which Tommy retorted My father were the man that were hanged
Now I find that though I come of a long-time politically minded family campaigns are becoming boresome Moreover I discover that a good many of my friends do not even listen To correct this sad situation my big idea---shy
This is the age of spaceT----- I see a space craft land A man steps from it and round him gather nearby people He does not know where he is or anything of this new land The inhabitants inform him that he is in the most beautiful of the fifty states of the USA Subsequently he learns that they need a leader He has no idea nor is he informed that there is an incumbent With leadership in mind he travels the state makes surveys of needs resources men and means and then makes suggestions of improvements and offers himself as a guide
There is absolutely no mention made of any opposition as to men or ideas He simply offers himself and his ideas (perhaps gleaned from outer space) and awaits the decision of the inhabitants
I think a campaign with a total blank in words as to anything but constructive thinking would draw the eyes and ears of all the people (and maybe the moon)
SIncerely (Miss) Mary R Marsh
PS The space man seeming to be totally deaf to any blasts or even words from opposition

Att Robert Haldeman
Dear Mr Haldeman I oalled your offioe and you happened to be out so I talked to Mr
Turner and I thought I would pursue my telephone oonversation Just a little farther I referred Mr Turner to an artiole in the L08 Angeles Times of February 27 Half of the artiole I feel hit the nail right on the head but the other half took a slap at Mr Robert Weloh head of the John Biroh Sooiety Mr Haldeman as far as I am ooncerned I play the game to win and I feel that unless Mr Nixon stops being so high and mighty he is going to lose this election - andthis one we need real badly I know that Mr Nixons point is to disassooiate himself with tije John Biroh Sooiety but anyone with a grain of sense should know that they are not going to get off his baok one minute with the John Biroh Sooiety During the Presidential oampaign he oontinually tried to disassociate himself with CatholooisID and the Kennedy orowd saw to it that that never happened I feel that if an important dioishysion would arise then he oould comment on the John Biroh Sooiety beoause there are a lot of dedioated people at this point who are siok and tired of what has been going on and they are perhaps grabbing at straws They adopt the attitude Love me love my dog You never hear Governor Brown or Attorney General Mosk take a slap at the Amerioan Demooratio Assooiation or the radioal left wing I am not saying that they are tied in with this group but what I am saying is that they are not going to make these radioal left wingers mad enough not to get their votes

You will reply perhaps - full of horror - that it would be a
real sin to risk the existence of the globe eventually because I
of Berlin - May I answer By our experiences with dictators we
knowthat every yielding mak~stheir appetite grow and tinally
leads to warwhereas every fir~ stand makes them take their

gone back and not have exposed themselves before all the world
as ivar mongers It was done by Ulbricht t s Vopos and not by Iiitssionsoldiersin fact-s~l~ething wouLd go wrong Ulbricht ~---
could be blamed
You must know that our mental depression is without limits
We feel hopeless aud f~ll of ~rustrating fury and deep mourn
when we thinkof our families and tricnds on the other side
There was a word said that pr-ec t t caLfy Ulbricht took what he
had already What an error and completely false judgement about
the situation -
Until August 13 there has been - though~ witft risk of life aud
property and loss of fanrily and friends - the always last
desperate possibili ty of the night into freedom In all
opprestion and t9rture - think of the conscience torments of
youngstels teachers j ministers j to speak only of some groups shy
there has been the saving hopefUl light of Berlins beacon

This is one thing that change~basicly and the consequence

will be a firm will to secure them General Clay will be tbe

But ac DavLd Lawr-ence says Berlin is not the basic issue
for them~ the ~ims are much higher and fo~seeing
To make the si t ua t Lon clear I must go back ror some general r emarks Ih I s torn und is t r arrg e character what fs the remainder

Nevertheless the Po t sdam treaty anrted Germany to be considered
as an economic uni t including also transportation and traffic
so that the Berlin connections were no doubtful problem techshy

the blockade and were confirllleJafterards There should be no) bull reason to make them a speeial point for negotiations

Dear Mr Haldeman
I would like to start something I do hope that you and Mr Nixon will help me
To introduce myself - I am and have been a citizen of California since 1886
Being in yours and Mr Nixons mothers bracket I have seen many political campaigns
Of late and (perhaps earlier) they have slid down the stairs to the position of James M Barries ---- Tommy who at 3 with a companion of like vintage were on a stairway arguing their respective importance Said the companion My father were once at a hanging to which Tommy retorted My father were the man that were hanged
Now I find that though I come of a long-time politically minded family campaigns are becoming boresome Moreover I discover that a good many of my friends do not even listen To correct this sad situation my big idea---shy
This is the age of spaceT----- I see a space craft land A man steps from it and round him gather nearby people He does not know where he is or anything of this new land The inhabitants inform him that he is in the most beautiful of the fifty states of the USA Subsequently he learns that they need a leader He has no idea nor is he informed that there is an incumbent With leadership in mind he travels the state makes surveys of needs resources men and means and then makes suggestions of improvements and offers himself as a guide
There is absolutely no mention made of any opposition as to men or ideas He simply offers himself and his ideas (perhaps gleaned from outer space) and awaits the decision of the inhabitants
I think a campaign with a total blank in words as to anything but constructive thinking would draw the eyes and ears of all the people (and maybe the moon)
SIncerely (Miss) Mary R Marsh
PS The space man seeming to be totally deaf to any blasts or even words from opposition

Dear Mr Haldeman I oalled your offioe and you happened to be out so I talked to Mr
Turner and I thought I would pursue my telephone oonversation Just a little farther I referred Mr Turner to an artiole in the L08 Angeles Times of February 27 Half of the artiole I feel hit the nail right on the head but the other half took a slap at Mr Robert Weloh head of the John Biroh Sooiety Mr Haldeman as far as I am ooncerned I play the game to win and I feel that unless Mr Nixon stops being so high and mighty he is going to lose this election - andthis one we need real badly I know that Mr Nixons point is to disassooiate himself with tije John Biroh Sooiety but anyone with a grain of sense should know that they are not going to get off his baok one minute with the John Biroh Sooiety During the Presidential oampaign he oontinually tried to disassociate himself with CatholooisID and the Kennedy orowd saw to it that that never happened I feel that if an important dioishysion would arise then he oould comment on the John Biroh Sooiety beoause there are a lot of dedioated people at this point who are siok and tired of what has been going on and they are perhaps grabbing at straws They adopt the attitude Love me love my dog You never hear Governor Brown or Attorney General Mosk take a slap at the Amerioan Demooratio Assooiation or the radioal left wing I am not saying that they are tied in with this group but what I am saying is that they are not going to make these radioal left wingers mad enough not to get their votes

enough to take the risksII as the risl has not been taken in

suamer i 0 g liThe big prison II (Aug 028) and trBerlin is not theb~
sic issue Nobody could express the -situation bettet
You will reply perhaps - full of horror - that it would be a
real sin to risk the existence of the globe eventually because I
of Berlin - May I answer By our experiences with dictators we
knowthat every yielding mak~stheir appetite grow and tinally
leads to warwhereas every fir~ stand makes them take their

gone back and not have exposed themselves before all the world
as ivar mongers It was done by Ulbricht t s Vopos and not by Iiitssionsoldiersin fact-s~l~ething wouLd go wrong Ulbricht ~---
could be blamed
You must know that our mental depression is without limits
We feel hopeless aud f~ll of ~rustrating fury and deep mourn
when we thinkof our families and tricnds on the other side
There was a word said that pr-ec t t caLfy Ulbricht took what he
had already What an error and completely false judgement about
the situation -
Until August 13 there has been - though~ witft risk of life aud
property and loss of fanrily and friends - the always last
desperate possibili ty of the night into freedom In all
opprestion and t9rture - think of the conscience torments of
youngstels teachers j ministers j to speak only of some groups shy
there has been the saving hopefUl light of Berlins beacon
Th~ poor discourageO soul coul~ eventually for a day go over to
West Berlin write an importantB letter to children have a
phone-call to friends ill very lucky cases even meet a child
(hOli often could lie finance flights to Berlin from here for
the children t) 0 01 they read a newspaper only and could go home

speak of the last desperate at t empt s of flight - that
over Berlin has lost her s opranat LnnaI nleaninglls the only

This is one thing that change~basicly and the consequence

will be a firm will to secure them General Clay will be tbe
garant
But ac DavLd Lawr-ence says Berlin is not the basic issue
for them~ the ~ims are much higher and fo~seeing
To make the si t ua t Lon clear I must go back ror some general r emarks Ih I s torn und is t r arrg e character what fs the remainder
of the old Germany developed from a 7 divided country (today 4)~ the f our occupation Zones American 1 Bri tkj sh French Ru s s Lan ~

the ~2~~ anci divided Into four zones) and the country behind
the Oder-Neisse-line given under Polishadministraiion part
in the North even under 30vietian one
Nevertheless the Po t sdam treaty anrted Germany to be considered
as an economic uni t including also transportation and traffic
so that the Berlin connections were no doubtful problem techshy

Dear Mr Haldeman
I would like to start something I do hope that you and Mr Nixon will help me
To introduce myself - I am and have been a citizen of California since 1886
Being in yours and Mr Nixons mothers bracket I have seen many political campaigns
Of late and (perhaps earlier) they have slid down the stairs to the position of James M Barries ---- Tommy who at 3 with a companion of like vintage were on a stairway arguing their respective importance Said the companion My father were once at a hanging to which Tommy retorted My father were the man that were hanged
Now I find that though I come of a long-time politically minded family campaigns are becoming boresome Moreover I discover that a good many of my friends do not even listen To correct this sad situation my big idea---shy
This is the age of spaceT----- I see a space craft land A man steps from it and round him gather nearby people He does not know where he is or anything of this new land The inhabitants inform him that he is in the most beautiful of the fifty states of the USA Subsequently he learns that they need a leader He has no idea nor is he informed that there is an incumbent With leadership in mind he travels the state makes surveys of needs resources men and means and then makes suggestions of improvements and offers himself as a guide
There is absolutely no mention made of any opposition as to men or ideas He simply offers himself and his ideas (perhaps gleaned from outer space) and awaits the decision of the inhabitants
I think a campaign with a total blank in words as to anything but constructive thinking would draw the eyes and ears of all the people (and maybe the moon)
SIncerely (Miss) Mary R Marsh
PS The space man seeming to be totally deaf to any blasts or even words from opposition

Att Robert Haldeman
Dear Mr Haldeman I oalled your offioe and you happened to be out so I talked to Mr
Turner and I thought I would pursue my telephone oonversation Just a little farther I referred Mr Turner to an artiole in the L08 Angeles Times of February 27 Half of the artiole I feel hit the nail right on the head but the other half took a slap at Mr Robert Weloh head of the John Biroh Sooiety Mr Haldeman as far as I am ooncerned I play the game to win and I feel that unless Mr Nixon stops being so high and mighty he is going to lose this election - andthis one we need real badly I know that Mr Nixons point is to disassooiate himself with tije John Biroh Sooiety but anyone with a grain of sense should know that they are not going to get off his baok one minute with the John Biroh Sooiety During the Presidential oampaign he oontinually tried to disassociate himself with CatholooisID and the Kennedy orowd saw to it that that never happened I feel that if an important dioishysion would arise then he oould comment on the John Biroh Sooiety beoause there are a lot of dedioated people at this point who are siok and tired of what has been going on and they are perhaps grabbing at straws They adopt the attitude Love me love my dog You never hear Governor Brown or Attorney General Mosk take a slap at the Amerioan Demooratio Assooiation or the radioal left wing I am not saying that they are tied in with this group but what I am saying is that they are not going to make these radioal left wingers mad enough not to get their votes

enough to take the risksII as the risl has not been taken in
this very case c-lease do read what David Lawrence said in his UoSoNews and World Report in many excellent articles this
suamer i 0 g liThe big prison II (Aug 028) and trBerlin is not theb~
sic issue Nobody could express the -situation bettet
You will reply perhaps - full of horror - that it would be a
real sin to risk the existence of the globe eventually because I
of Berlin - May I answer By our experiences with dictators we
knowthat every yielding mak~stheir appetite grow and tinally
leads to warwhereas every fir~ stand makes them take their
roo t back Do tllinlc o f Hf t Ler vg oLng into Csechoslovakia and ~_~~~__~___middot___~~~~_W gt - c

of the ~agnificent effect of the Berlin airlift 19~9o And now
and here in the night of Augst 13thev would have yielded and ~~~~IJi-
gone back and not have exposed themselves before all the world
as ivar mongers It was done by Ulbricht t s Vopos and not by Iiitssionsoldiersin fact-s~l~ething wouLd go wrong Ulbricht ~---
could be blamed
You must know that our mental depression is without limits
We feel hopeless aud f~ll of ~rustrating fury and deep mourn
when we thinkof our families and tricnds on the other side
There was a word said that pr-ec t t caLfy Ulbricht took what he
had already What an error and completely false judgement about
the situation -
Until August 13 there has been - though~ witft risk of life aud
property and loss of fanrily and friends - the always last
desperate possibili ty of the night into freedom In all
opprestion and t9rture - think of the conscience torments of
youngstels teachers j ministers j to speak only of some groups shy
there has been the saving hopefUl light of Berlins beacon
Th~ poor discourageO soul coul~ eventually for a day go over to
West Berlin write an importantB letter to children have a
phone-call to friends ill very lucky cases even meet a child
(hOli often could lie finance flights to Berlin from here for
the children t) 0 01 they read a newspaper only and could go home

speak of the last desperate at t empt s of flight - that
over Berlin has lost her s opranat LnnaI nleaninglls the only
spot in the wor Ld that has day for day been wi ths t and Lng

This is one thing that change~basicly and the consequence
eluerged on the spot no r t niore observed by the freciorld the

will aurv i ve and the a t rways fi 11 r emai n safe 01s long a Ls there
will be a firm will to secure them General Clay will be tbe
garant
But ac DavLd Lawr-ence says Berlin is not the basic issue
for them~ the ~ims are much higher and fo~seeing
To make the si t ua t Lon clear I must go back ror some general r emarks Ih I s torn und is t r arrg e character what fs the remainder
of the old Germany developed from a 7 divided country (today 4)~ the f our occupation Zones American 1 Bri tkj sh French Ru s s Lan ~

the ~2~~ anci divided Into four zones) and the country behind
the Oder-Neisse-line given under Polishadministraiion part
in the North even under 30vietian one
Nevertheless the Po t sdam treaty anrted Germany to be considered
as an economic uni t including also transportation and traffic
so that the Berlin connections were no doubtful problem techshy

the blockade and were confirllleJafterards There should be no) bull reason to make them a speeial point for negotiations

Dear Mr Haldeman
I would like to start something I do hope that you and Mr Nixon will help me
To introduce myself - I am and have been a citizen of California since 1886
Being in yours and Mr Nixons mothers bracket I have seen many political campaigns
Of late and (perhaps earlier) they have slid down the stairs to the position of James M Barries ---- Tommy who at 3 with a companion of like vintage were on a stairway arguing their respective importance Said the companion My father were once at a hanging to which Tommy retorted My father were the man that were hanged
Now I find that though I come of a long-time politically minded family campaigns are becoming boresome Moreover I discover that a good many of my friends do not even listen To correct this sad situation my big idea---shy
This is the age of spaceT----- I see a space craft land A man steps from it and round him gather nearby people He does not know where he is or anything of this new land The inhabitants inform him that he is in the most beautiful of the fifty states of the USA Subsequently he learns that they need a leader He has no idea nor is he informed that there is an incumbent With leadership in mind he travels the state makes surveys of needs resources men and means and then makes suggestions of improvements and offers himself as a guide
There is absolutely no mention made of any opposition as to men or ideas He simply offers himself and his ideas (perhaps gleaned from outer space) and awaits the decision of the inhabitants
I think a campaign with a total blank in words as to anything but constructive thinking would draw the eyes and ears of all the people (and maybe the moon)
SIncerely (Miss) Mary R Marsh
PS The space man seeming to be totally deaf to any blasts or even words from opposition

suamer i 0 g liThe big prison II (Aug 028) and trBerlin is not theb~

You will reply perhaps - full of horror - that it would be a
real sin to risk the existence of the globe eventually because I
of Berlin - May I answer By our experiences with dictators we
knowthat every yielding mak~stheir appetite grow and tinally
leads to warwhereas every fir~ stand makes them take their

gone back and not have exposed themselves before all the world
as ivar mongers It was done by Ulbricht t s Vopos and not by Iiitssionsoldiersin fact-s~l~ething wouLd go wrong Ulbricht ~---
could be blamed
You must know that our mental depression is without limits
We feel hopeless aud f~ll of ~rustrating fury and deep mourn
when we thinkof our families and tricnds on the other side
There was a word said that pr-ec t t caLfy Ulbricht took what he
had already What an error and completely false judgement about
the situation -
Until August 13 there has been - though~ witft risk of life aud
property and loss of fanrily and friends - the always last
desperate possibili ty of the night into freedom In all
opprestion and t9rture - think of the conscience torments of
youngstels teachers j ministers j to speak only of some groups shy
there has been the saving hopefUl light of Berlins beacon
Th~ poor discourageO soul coul~ eventually for a day go over to
West Berlin write an importantB letter to children have a
phone-call to friends ill very lucky cases even meet a child
(hOli often could lie finance flights to Berlin from here for
the children t) 0 01 they read a newspaper only and could go home

This is one thing that change~basicly and the consequence

will be a firm will to secure them General Clay will be tbe

But ac DavLd Lawr-ence says Berlin is not the basic issue
for them~ the ~ims are much higher and fo~seeing
To make the si t ua t Lon clear I must go back ror some general r emarks Ih I s torn und is t r arrg e character what fs the remainder

Nevertheless the Po t sdam treaty anrted Germany to be considered
as an economic uni t including also transportation and traffic
so that the Berlin connections were no doubtful problem techshy

the blockade and were confirllleJafterards There should be no) bull reason to make them a speeial point for negotiations

Mr Robert Haldeman Nixon Headquarters Los Angeles California
Dear Mr Haldeman
I would like to start something I do hope that you and Mr Nixon will help me
To introduce myself - I am and have been a citizen of California since 1886
Being in yours and Mr Nixons mothers bracket I have seen many political campaigns
Of late and (perhaps earlier) they have slid down the stairs to the position of James M Barries ---- Tommy who at 3 with a companion of like vintage were on a stairway arguing their respective importance Said the companion My father were once at a hanging to which Tommy retorted My father were the man that were hanged
Now I find that though I come of a long-time politically minded family campaigns are becoming boresome Moreover I discover that a good many of my friends do not even listen To correct this sad situation my big idea---shy
This is the age of spaceT----- I see a space craft land A man steps from it and round him gather nearby people He does not know where he is or anything of this new land The inhabitants inform him that he is in the most beautiful of the fifty states of the USA Subsequently he learns that they need a leader He has no idea nor is he informed that there is an incumbent With leadership in mind he travels the state makes surveys of needs resources men and means and then makes suggestions of improvements and offers himself as a guide
There is absolutely no mention made of any opposition as to men or ideas He simply offers himself and his ideas (perhaps gleaned from outer space) and awaits the decision of the inhabitants
I think a campaign with a total blank in words as to anything but constructive thinking would draw the eyes and ears of all the people (and maybe the moon)
SIncerely (Miss) Mary R Marsh
PS The space man seeming to be totally deaf to any blasts or even words from opposition

You will reply perhaps - full of horror - that it would be a
real sin to risk the existence of the globe eventually because I
of Berlin - May I answer By our experiences with dictators we
knowthat every yielding mak~stheir appetite grow and tinally
leads to warwhereas every fir~ stand makes them take their

gone back and not have exposed themselves before all the world

could be blamed
You must know that our mental depression is without limits
We feel hopeless aud f~ll of ~rustrating fury and deep mourn
when we thinkof our families and tricnds on the other side
There was a word said that pr-ec t t caLfy Ulbricht took what he
had already What an error and completely false judgement about
the situation -
Until August 13 there has been - though~ witft risk of life aud
property and loss of fanrily and friends - the always last
desperate possibili ty of the night into freedom In all
opprestion and t9rture - think of the conscience torments of
youngstels teachers j ministers j to speak only of some groups shy

West Berlin write an importantB letter to children have a

will be a firm will to secure them General Clay will be tbe
garant
But ac DavLd Lawr-ence says Berlin is not the basic issue
for them~ the ~ims are much higher and fo~seeing
To make the si t ua t Lon clear I must go back ror some general r emarks Ih I s torn und is t r arrg e character what fs the remainder
of the old Germany developed from a 7 divided country (today 4)~ the f our occupation Zones American 1 Bri tkj sh French Ru s s Lan ~

the ~2~~ anci divided Into four zones) and the country behind
the Oder-Neisse-line given under Polishadministraiion part
in the North even under 30vietian one
Nevertheless the Po t sdam treaty anrted Germany to be considered
as an economic uni t including also transportation and traffic
so that the Berlin connections were no doubtful problem techshy

Dear Mr Haldeman
I would like to start something I do hope that you and Mr Nixon will help me
To introduce myself - I am and have been a citizen of California since 1886
Being in yours and Mr Nixons mothers bracket I have seen many political campaigns
Of late and (perhaps earlier) they have slid down the stairs to the position of James M Barries ---- Tommy who at 3 with a companion of like vintage were on a stairway arguing their respective importance Said the companion My father were once at a hanging to which Tommy retorted My father were the man that were hanged
Now I find that though I come of a long-time politically minded family campaigns are becoming boresome Moreover I discover that a good many of my friends do not even listen To correct this sad situation my big idea---shy
This is the age of spaceT----- I see a space craft land A man steps from it and round him gather nearby people He does not know where he is or anything of this new land The inhabitants inform him that he is in the most beautiful of the fifty states of the USA Subsequently he learns that they need a leader He has no idea nor is he informed that there is an incumbent With leadership in mind he travels the state makes surveys of needs resources men and means and then makes suggestions of improvements and offers himself as a guide
There is absolutely no mention made of any opposition as to men or ideas He simply offers himself and his ideas (perhaps gleaned from outer space) and awaits the decision of the inhabitants
I think a campaign with a total blank in words as to anything but constructive thinking would draw the eyes and ears of all the people (and maybe the moon)
SIncerely (Miss) Mary R Marsh
PS The space man seeming to be totally deaf to any blasts or even words from opposition

Dear friends in the States
during many years we have been connected in a common
and striving for a better world in which
spread individual liberty be the aim In the difficultpolitfc~l
situation of today I feel lowe you a word about our opitiioIl

and faithful spade-work prosperous i feel a good soil fornrlltual
understsnding basicly prepared If we hop~ to be sucoessfulon
a large scale we have to exchange our itlbas honestly and openly
even if we pr-ovoke opposition or - worse - hUlmiddottfeelingsTh~
main thing sbould be to be informed about each other ardbelieve
in the partner~s ~on~sty and good wille
More than two months have passed by since the disastrollsnight
of Augus t 13 The retardation in apaakfng abouti t may tell you

enough to take the risksII as the risl has not been taken in
this very case c-lease do read what David Lawrence said in his UoSoNews and World Report in many excellent articles this
suamer i 0 g liThe big prison II (Aug 028) and trBerlin is not theb~
sic issue Nobody could express the -situation bettet
You will reply perhaps - full of horror - that it would be a
real sin to risk the existence of the globe eventually because I
of Berlin - May I answer By our experiences with dictators we
knowthat every yielding mak~stheir appetite grow and tinally
leads to warwhereas every fir~ stand makes them take their
roo t back Do tllinlc o f Hf t Ler vg oLng into Csechoslovakia and ~_~~~__~___middot___~~~~_W gt - c

of the ~agnificent effect of the Berlin airlift 19~9o And now
and here in the night of Augst 13thev would have yielded and ~~~~IJi-
gone back and not have exposed themselves before all the world
as ivar mongers It was done by Ulbricht t s Vopos and not by Iiitssionsoldiersin fact-s~l~ething wouLd go wrong Ulbricht ~---
could be blamed
You must know that our mental depression is without limits
We feel hopeless aud f~ll of ~rustrating fury and deep mourn
when we thinkof our families and tricnds on the other side
There was a word said that pr-ec t t caLfy Ulbricht took what he
had already What an error and completely false judgement about
the situation -
Until August 13 there has been - though~ witft risk of life aud
property and loss of fanrily and friends - the always last
desperate possibili ty of the night into freedom In all
opprestion and t9rture - think of the conscience torments of
youngstels teachers j ministers j to speak only of some groups shy
there has been the saving hopefUl light of Berlins beacon
Th~ poor discourageO soul coul~ eventually for a day go over to
West Berlin write an importantB letter to children have a
phone-call to friends ill very lucky cases even meet a child
(hOli often could lie finance flights to Berlin from here for
the children t) 0 01 they read a newspaper only and could go home
wi til fresh courage to iithstc~nd the daily threat again You know how the prisons are filled vi th the victims who failed to
save themselves and kOO11 that ~hree million pe op Le vwent the

speak of the last desperate at t empt s of flight - that
over Berlin has lost her s opranat LnnaI nleaninglls the only
spot in the wor Ld that has day for day been wi ths t and Lng
c onnnunIsnrdn a$Ollstant aI1dV~Jf~Nchallenge~ an iencour-ag ing and
imaginative example for the free world
This is one thing that change~basicly and the consequence
eluerged on the spot no r t niore observed by the freciorld the
Zone rUlers rUdelessly startedto tyrannize everybody als~ the
few privileged groups that they had flattered to hold them
s o t ent i s t s mcdicalrpen tchnicians The who Le Zone is an army
theater now and we l~st a strategically enormous important
point Ber Li n as a 1h01e is lost but lt[est Berlin of course0
will aurv i ve and the a t rways fi 11 r emai n safe 01s long a Ls there
will be a firm will to secure them General Clay will be tbe
garant
But ac DavLd Lawr-ence says Berlin is not the basic issue
for them~ the ~ims are much higher and fo~seeing
To make the si t ua t Lon clear I must go back ror some general r emarks Ih I s torn und is t r arrg e character what fs the remainder
of the old Germany developed from a 7 divided country (today 4)~ the f our occupation Zones American 1 Bri tkj sh French Ru s s Lan ~

the ~2~~ anci divided Into four zones) and the country behind
the Oder-Neisse-line given under Polishadministraiion part
in the North even under 30vietian one
Nevertheless the Po t sdam treaty anrted Germany to be considered
as an economic uni t including also transportation and traffic
so that the Berlin connections were no doubtful problem techshy
n ic a I modali ties being agr3Cd about They even worke d during
the blockade and were confirllleJafterards There should be no) bull reason to make them a speeial point for negotiations
Very soon it showed that n~ssiais politics of rudeless reparashy

As we the West German part never have been uni ted wi th this

claimed to b~ the de jure lt successor of the German Reich it
is only a subs ttstu t e a representative until there fi11 be -a

self to be a successor of Germany it claims to be ah absolutely
new state because of t he c ompLe t e Ly different scc t a li-e concsu e

Dear Mr Haldeman
I would like to start something I do hope that you and Mr Nixon will help me
To introduce myself - I am and have been a citizen of California since 1886
Being in yours and Mr Nixons mothers bracket I have seen many political campaigns
Of late and (perhaps earlier) they have slid down the stairs to the position of James M Barries ---- Tommy who at 3 with a companion of like vintage were on a stairway arguing their respective importance Said the companion My father were once at a hanging to which Tommy retorted My father were the man that were hanged
Now I find that though I come of a long-time politically minded family campaigns are becoming boresome Moreover I discover that a good many of my friends do not even listen To correct this sad situation my big idea---shy
This is the age of spaceT----- I see a space craft land A man steps from it and round him gather nearby people He does not know where he is or anything of this new land The inhabitants inform him that he is in the most beautiful of the fifty states of the USA Subsequently he learns that they need a leader He has no idea nor is he informed that there is an incumbent With leadership in mind he travels the state makes surveys of needs resources men and means and then makes suggestions of improvements and offers himself as a guide
There is absolutely no mention made of any opposition as to men or ideas He simply offers himself and his ideas (perhaps gleaned from outer space) and awaits the decision of the inhabitants
I think a campaign with a total blank in words as to anything but constructive thinking would draw the eyes and ears of all the people (and maybe the moon)
SIncerely (Miss) Mary R Marsh
PS The space man seeming to be totally deaf to any blasts or even words from opposition

suamer i 0 g liThe big prison II (Aug 028) and trBerlin is not theb~
sic issue Nobody could express the -situation bettet
You will reply perhaps - full of horror - that it would be a
real sin to risk the existence of the globe eventually because I
of Berlin - May I answer By our experiences with dictators we
knowthat every yielding mak~stheir appetite grow and tinally
leads to warwhereas every fir~ stand makes them take their

gone back and not have exposed themselves before all the world
as ivar mongers It was done by Ulbricht t s Vopos and not by Iiitssionsoldiersin fact-s~l~ething wouLd go wrong Ulbricht ~---
could be blamed
You must know that our mental depression is without limits
We feel hopeless aud f~ll of ~rustrating fury and deep mourn
when we thinkof our families and tricnds on the other side
There was a word said that pr-ec t t caLfy Ulbricht took what he
had already What an error and completely false judgement about
the situation -
Until August 13 there has been - though~ witft risk of life aud
property and loss of fanrily and friends - the always last
desperate possibili ty of the night into freedom In all
opprestion and t9rture - think of the conscience torments of
youngstels teachers j ministers j to speak only of some groups shy
there has been the saving hopefUl light of Berlins beacon

West Berlin write an importantB letter to children have a

will be a firm will to secure them General Clay will be tbe

But ac DavLd Lawr-ence says Berlin is not the basic issue
for them~ the ~ims are much higher and fo~seeing
To make the si t ua t Lon clear I must go back ror some general r emarks Ih I s torn und is t r arrg e character what fs the remainder
of the old Germany developed from a 7 divided country (today 4)~ the f our occupation Zones American 1 Bri tkj sh French Ru s s Lan ~

Nevertheless the Po t sdam treaty anrted Germany to be considered
as an economic uni t including also transportation and traffic
so that the Berlin connections were no doubtful problem techshy

Dear Mr Haldeman
I would like to start something I do hope that you and Mr Nixon will help me
To introduce myself - I am and have been a citizen of California since 1886
Being in yours and Mr Nixons mothers bracket I have seen many political campaigns
Of late and (perhaps earlier) they have slid down the stairs to the position of James M Barries ---- Tommy who at 3 with a companion of like vintage were on a stairway arguing their respective importance Said the companion My father were once at a hanging to which Tommy retorted My father were the man that were hanged
Now I find that though I come of a long-time politically minded family campaigns are becoming boresome Moreover I discover that a good many of my friends do not even listen To correct this sad situation my big idea---shy
This is the age of spaceT----- I see a space craft land A man steps from it and round him gather nearby people He does not know where he is or anything of this new land The inhabitants inform him that he is in the most beautiful of the fifty states of the USA Subsequently he learns that they need a leader He has no idea nor is he informed that there is an incumbent With leadership in mind he travels the state makes surveys of needs resources men and means and then makes suggestions of improvements and offers himself as a guide
There is absolutely no mention made of any opposition as to men or ideas He simply offers himself and his ideas (perhaps gleaned from outer space) and awaits the decision of the inhabitants
I think a campaign with a total blank in words as to anything but constructive thinking would draw the eyes and ears of all the people (and maybe the moon)
SIncerely (Miss) Mary R Marsh
PS The space man seeming to be totally deaf to any blasts or even words from opposition

Dear friends in the States
during many years we have been connected in a common
and striving for a better world in which

enough to take the risksII as the risl has not been taken in
this very case c-lease do read what David Lawrence said in his UoSoNews and World Report in many excellent articles this
suamer i 0 g liThe big prison II (Aug 028) and trBerlin is not theb~
sic issue Nobody could express the -situation bettet
You will reply perhaps - full of horror - that it would be a
real sin to risk the existence of the globe eventually because I
of Berlin - May I answer By our experiences with dictators we
knowthat every yielding mak~stheir appetite grow and tinally
leads to warwhereas every fir~ stand makes them take their
roo t back Do tllinlc o f Hf t Ler vg oLng into Csechoslovakia and ~_~~~__~___middot___~~~~_W gt - c

of the ~agnificent effect of the Berlin airlift 19~9o And now
and here in the night of Augst 13thev would have yielded and ~~~~IJi-
gone back and not have exposed themselves before all the world
as ivar mongers It was done by Ulbricht t s Vopos and not by Iiitssionsoldiersin fact-s~l~ething wouLd go wrong Ulbricht ~---
could be blamed
You must know that our mental depression is without limits
We feel hopeless aud f~ll of ~rustrating fury and deep mourn
when we thinkof our families and tricnds on the other side
There was a word said that pr-ec t t caLfy Ulbricht took what he
had already What an error and completely false judgement about
the situation -
Until August 13 there has been - though~ witft risk of life aud
property and loss of fanrily and friends - the always last
desperate possibili ty of the night into freedom In all
opprestion and t9rture - think of the conscience torments of
youngstels teachers j ministers j to speak only of some groups shy
there has been the saving hopefUl light of Berlins beacon
Th~ poor discourageO soul coul~ eventually for a day go over to
West Berlin write an importantB letter to children have a
phone-call to friends ill very lucky cases even meet a child
(hOli often could lie finance flights to Berlin from here for
the children t) 0 01 they read a newspaper only and could go home
wi til fresh courage to iithstc~nd the daily threat again You know how the prisons are filled vi th the victims who failed to
save themselves and kOO11 that ~hree million pe op Le vwent the

speak of the last desperate at t empt s of flight - that
over Berlin has lost her s opranat LnnaI nleaninglls the only
spot in the wor Ld that has day for day been wi ths t and Lng
c onnnunIsnrdn a$Ollstant aI1dV~Jf~Nchallenge~ an iencour-ag ing and
imaginative example for the free world
This is one thing that change~basicly and the consequence
eluerged on the spot no r t niore observed by the freciorld the
Zone rUlers rUdelessly startedto tyrannize everybody als~ the
few privileged groups that they had flattered to hold them
s o t ent i s t s mcdicalrpen tchnicians The who Le Zone is an army
theater now and we l~st a strategically enormous important
point Ber Li n as a 1h01e is lost but lt[est Berlin of course0
will aurv i ve and the a t rways fi 11 r emai n safe 01s long a Ls there
will be a firm will to secure them General Clay will be tbe
garant
But ac DavLd Lawr-ence says Berlin is not the basic issue
for them~ the ~ims are much higher and fo~seeing
To make the si t ua t Lon clear I must go back ror some general r emarks Ih I s torn und is t r arrg e character what fs the remainder
of the old Germany developed from a 7 divided country (today 4)~ the f our occupation Zones American 1 Bri tkj sh French Ru s s Lan ~

the ~2~~ anci divided Into four zones) and the country behind
the Oder-Neisse-line given under Polishadministraiion part
in the North even under 30vietian one
Nevertheless the Po t sdam treaty anrted Germany to be considered
as an economic uni t including also transportation and traffic
so that the Berlin connections were no doubtful problem techshy
n ic a I modali ties being agr3Cd about They even worke d during
the blockade and were confirllleJafterards There should be no) bull reason to make them a speeial point for negotiations
Very soon it showed that n~ssiais politics of rudeless reparashy

Dear Mr Haldeman
I would like to start something I do hope that you and Mr Nixon will help me
To introduce myself - I am and have been a citizen of California since 1886
Being in yours and Mr Nixons mothers bracket I have seen many political campaigns
Of late and (perhaps earlier) they have slid down the stairs to the position of James M Barries ---- Tommy who at 3 with a companion of like vintage were on a stairway arguing their respective importance Said the companion My father were once at a hanging to which Tommy retorted My father were the man that were hanged
Now I find that though I come of a long-time politically minded family campaigns are becoming boresome Moreover I discover that a good many of my friends do not even listen To correct this sad situation my big idea---shy
This is the age of spaceT----- I see a space craft land A man steps from it and round him gather nearby people He does not know where he is or anything of this new land The inhabitants inform him that he is in the most beautiful of the fifty states of the USA Subsequently he learns that they need a leader He has no idea nor is he informed that there is an incumbent With leadership in mind he travels the state makes surveys of needs resources men and means and then makes suggestions of improvements and offers himself as a guide
There is absolutely no mention made of any opposition as to men or ideas He simply offers himself and his ideas (perhaps gleaned from outer space) and awaits the decision of the inhabitants
I think a campaign with a total blank in words as to anything but constructive thinking would draw the eyes and ears of all the people (and maybe the moon)
SIncerely (Miss) Mary R Marsh
PS The space man seeming to be totally deaf to any blasts or even words from opposition

You will reply perhaps - full of horror - that it would be a
real sin to risk the existence of the globe eventually because I
of Berlin - May I answer By our experiences with dictators we
knowthat every yielding mak~stheir appetite grow and tinally
leads to warwhereas every fir~ stand makes them take their

gone back and not have exposed themselves before all the world
as ivar mongers It was done by Ulbricht t s Vopos and not by Iiitssionsoldiersin fact-s~l~ething wouLd go wrong Ulbricht ~---
could be blamed
You must know that our mental depression is without limits
We feel hopeless aud f~ll of ~rustrating fury and deep mourn
when we thinkof our families and tricnds on the other side
There was a word said that pr-ec t t caLfy Ulbricht took what he
had already What an error and completely false judgement about
the situation -
Until August 13 there has been - though~ witft risk of life aud
property and loss of fanrily and friends - the always last
desperate possibili ty of the night into freedom In all
opprestion and t9rture - think of the conscience torments of
youngstels teachers j ministers j to speak only of some groups shy
there has been the saving hopefUl light of Berlins beacon
Th~ poor discourageO soul coul~ eventually for a day go over to
West Berlin write an importantB letter to children have a
phone-call to friends ill very lucky cases even meet a child
(hOli often could lie finance flights to Berlin from here for
the children t) 0 01 they read a newspaper only and could go home

will be a firm will to secure them General Clay will be tbe
garant
But ac DavLd Lawr-ence says Berlin is not the basic issue
for them~ the ~ims are much higher and fo~seeing
To make the si t ua t Lon clear I must go back ror some general r emarks Ih I s torn und is t r arrg e character what fs the remainder

Nevertheless the Po t sdam treaty anrted Germany to be considered
as an economic uni t including also transportation and traffic
so that the Berlin connections were no doubtful problem techshy

Dear Mr Haldeman
I would like to start something I do hope that you and Mr Nixon will help me
To introduce myself - I am and have been a citizen of California since 1886
Being in yours and Mr Nixons mothers bracket I have seen many political campaigns
Of late and (perhaps earlier) they have slid down the stairs to the position of James M Barries ---- Tommy who at 3 with a companion of like vintage were on a stairway arguing their respective importance Said the companion My father were once at a hanging to which Tommy retorted My father were the man that were hanged
Now I find that though I come of a long-time politically minded family campaigns are becoming boresome Moreover I discover that a good many of my friends do not even listen To correct this sad situation my big idea---shy
This is the age of spaceT----- I see a space craft land A man steps from it and round him gather nearby people He does not know where he is or anything of this new land The inhabitants inform him that he is in the most beautiful of the fifty states of the USA Subsequently he learns that they need a leader He has no idea nor is he informed that there is an incumbent With leadership in mind he travels the state makes surveys of needs resources men and means and then makes suggestions of improvements and offers himself as a guide
There is absolutely no mention made of any opposition as to men or ideas He simply offers himself and his ideas (perhaps gleaned from outer space) and awaits the decision of the inhabitants
I think a campaign with a total blank in words as to anything but constructive thinking would draw the eyes and ears of all the people (and maybe the moon)
SIncerely (Miss) Mary R Marsh
PS The space man seeming to be totally deaf to any blasts or even words from opposition

You will reply perhaps - full of horror - that it would be a
real sin to risk the existence of the globe eventually because I
of Berlin - May I answer By our experiences with dictators we
knowthat every yielding mak~stheir appetite grow and tinally
leads to warwhereas every fir~ stand makes them take their

could be blamed
You must know that our mental depression is without limits
We feel hopeless aud f~ll of ~rustrating fury and deep mourn
when we thinkof our families and tricnds on the other side
There was a word said that pr-ec t t caLfy Ulbricht took what he
had already What an error and completely false judgement about
the situation -
Until August 13 there has been - though~ witft risk of life aud
property and loss of fanrily and friends - the always last
desperate possibili ty of the night into freedom In all
opprestion and t9rture - think of the conscience torments of
youngstels teachers j ministers j to speak only of some groups shy

will be a firm will to secure them General Clay will be tbe

But ac DavLd Lawr-ence says Berlin is not the basic issue
for them~ the ~ims are much higher and fo~seeing
To make the si t ua t Lon clear I must go back ror some general r emarks Ih I s torn und is t r arrg e character what fs the remainder
of the old Germany developed from a 7 divided country (today 4)~ the f our occupation Zones American 1 Bri tkj sh French Ru s s Lan ~

Nevertheless the Po t sdam treaty anrted Germany to be considered
as an economic uni t including also transportation and traffic
so that the Berlin connections were no doubtful problem techshy

Dear Mr Haldeman
I would like to start something I do hope that you and Mr Nixon will help me
To introduce myself - I am and have been a citizen of California since 1886
Being in yours and Mr Nixons mothers bracket I have seen many political campaigns
Of late and (perhaps earlier) they have slid down the stairs to the position of James M Barries ---- Tommy who at 3 with a companion of like vintage were on a stairway arguing their respective importance Said the companion My father were once at a hanging to which Tommy retorted My father were the man that were hanged
Now I find that though I come of a long-time politically minded family campaigns are becoming boresome Moreover I discover that a good many of my friends do not even listen To correct this sad situation my big idea---shy
This is the age of spaceT----- I see a space craft land A man steps from it and round him gather nearby people He does not know where he is or anything of this new land The inhabitants inform him that he is in the most beautiful of the fifty states of the USA Subsequently he learns that they need a leader He has no idea nor is he informed that there is an incumbent With leadership in mind he travels the state makes surveys of needs resources men and means and then makes suggestions of improvements and offers himself as a guide
There is absolutely no mention made of any opposition as to men or ideas He simply offers himself and his ideas (perhaps gleaned from outer space) and awaits the decision of the inhabitants
I think a campaign with a total blank in words as to anything but constructive thinking would draw the eyes and ears of all the people (and maybe the moon)
SIncerely (Miss) Mary R Marsh
PS The space man seeming to be totally deaf to any blasts or even words from opposition

You will reply perhaps - full of horror - that it would be a
real sin to risk the existence of the globe eventually because I
of Berlin - May I answer By our experiences with dictators we
knowthat every yielding mak~stheir appetite grow and tinally

could be blamed
You must know that our mental depression is without limits
We feel hopeless aud f~ll of ~rustrating fury and deep mourn
when we thinkof our families and tricnds on the other side
There was a word said that pr-ec t t caLfy Ulbricht took what he
had already What an error and completely false judgement about
the situation -
Until August 13 there has been - though~ witft risk of life aud
property and loss of fanrily and friends - the always last
desperate possibili ty of the night into freedom In all
opprestion and t9rture - think of the conscience torments of
youngstels teachers j ministers j to speak only of some groups shy

will be a firm will to secure them General Clay will be tbe

But ac DavLd Lawr-ence says Berlin is not the basic issue

To make the si t ua t Lon clear I must go back ror some general r emarks Ih I s torn und is t r arrg e character what fs the remainder

Nevertheless the Po t sdam treaty anrted Germany to be considered

so that the Berlin connections were no doubtful problem techshy

so ca11et state that despotic system cannot tend for the

is only a subs ttstu t e a representative until there fi11 be -a

self to be a successor of Germany it claims to be ah absolutely
new state because of t he c ompLe t e Ly different scc t a li-e concsu e

Dear Mr Haldeman
I would like to start something I do hope that you and Mr Nixon will help me
To introduce myself - I am and have been a citizen of California since 1886
Being in yours and Mr Nixons mothers bracket I have seen many political campaigns
Of late and (perhaps earlier) they have slid down the stairs to the position of James M Barries ---- Tommy who at 3 with a companion of like vintage were on a stairway arguing their respective importance Said the companion My father were once at a hanging to which Tommy retorted My father were the man that were hanged
Now I find that though I come of a long-time politically minded family campaigns are becoming boresome Moreover I discover that a good many of my friends do not even listen To correct this sad situation my big idea---shy
This is the age of spaceT----- I see a space craft land A man steps from it and round him gather nearby people He does not know where he is or anything of this new land The inhabitants inform him that he is in the most beautiful of the fifty states of the USA Subsequently he learns that they need a leader He has no idea nor is he informed that there is an incumbent With leadership in mind he travels the state makes surveys of needs resources men and means and then makes suggestions of improvements and offers himself as a guide
There is absolutely no mention made of any opposition as to men or ideas He simply offers himself and his ideas (perhaps gleaned from outer space) and awaits the decision of the inhabitants
I think a campaign with a total blank in words as to anything but constructive thinking would draw the eyes and ears of all the people (and maybe the moon)
SIncerely (Miss) Mary R Marsh
PS The space man seeming to be totally deaf to any blasts or even words from opposition

You will reply perhaps - full of horror - that it would be a

of Berlin - May I answer By our experiences with dictators we

There was a word said that pr-ec t t caLfy Ulbricht took what he

Until August 13 there has been - though~ witft risk of life aud

Dear Mr Haldeman
I would like to start something I do hope that you and Mr Nixon will help me
To introduce myself - I am and have been a citizen of California since 1886
Being in yours and Mr Nixons mothers bracket I have seen many political campaigns
Of late and (perhaps earlier) they have slid down the stairs to the position of James M Barries ---- Tommy who at 3 with a companion of like vintage were on a stairway arguing their respective importance Said the companion My father were once at a hanging to which Tommy retorted My father were the man that were hanged
Now I find that though I come of a long-time politically minded family campaigns are becoming boresome Moreover I discover that a good many of my friends do not even listen To correct this sad situation my big idea---shy
This is the age of spaceT----- I see a space craft land A man steps from it and round him gather nearby people He does not know where he is or anything of this new land The inhabitants inform him that he is in the most beautiful of the fifty states of the USA Subsequently he learns that they need a leader He has no idea nor is he informed that there is an incumbent With leadership in mind he travels the state makes surveys of needs resources men and means and then makes suggestions of improvements and offers himself as a guide
There is absolutely no mention made of any opposition as to men or ideas He simply offers himself and his ideas (perhaps gleaned from outer space) and awaits the decision of the inhabitants
I think a campaign with a total blank in words as to anything but constructive thinking would draw the eyes and ears of all the people (and maybe the moon)
SIncerely (Miss) Mary R Marsh
PS The space man seeming to be totally deaf to any blasts or even words from opposition

Dear Mr Haldeman
I would like to start something I do hope that you and Mr Nixon will help me
To introduce myself - I am and have been a citizen of California since 1886
Being in yours and Mr Nixons mothers bracket I have seen many political campaigns
Of late and (perhaps earlier) they have slid down the stairs to the position of James M Barries ---- Tommy who at 3 with a companion of like vintage were on a stairway arguing their respective importance Said the companion My father were once at a hanging to which Tommy retorted My father were the man that were hanged
Now I find that though I come of a long-time politically minded family campaigns are becoming boresome Moreover I discover that a good many of my friends do not even listen To correct this sad situation my big idea---shy
This is the age of spaceT----- I see a space craft land A man steps from it and round him gather nearby people He does not know where he is or anything of this new land The inhabitants inform him that he is in the most beautiful of the fifty states of the USA Subsequently he learns that they need a leader He has no idea nor is he informed that there is an incumbent With leadership in mind he travels the state makes surveys of needs resources men and means and then makes suggestions of improvements and offers himself as a guide
There is absolutely no mention made of any opposition as to men or ideas He simply offers himself and his ideas (perhaps gleaned from outer space) and awaits the decision of the inhabitants
I think a campaign with a total blank in words as to anything but constructive thinking would draw the eyes and ears of all the people (and maybe the moon)
SIncerely (Miss) Mary R Marsh
PS The space man seeming to be totally deaf to any blasts or even words from opposition

Mr Robert Haldeman Nixon Headquarters Los Angeles California
Dear Mr Haldeman
I would like to start something I do hope that you and Mr Nixon will help me
To introduce myself - I am and have been a citizen of California since 1886
Being in yours and Mr Nixons mothers bracket I have seen many political campaigns
Of late and (perhaps earlier) they have slid down the stairs to the position of James M Barries ---- Tommy who at 3 with a companion of like vintage were on a stairway arguing their respective importance Said the companion My father were once at a hanging to which Tommy retorted My father were the man that were hanged
Now I find that though I come of a long-time politically minded family campaigns are becoming boresome Moreover I discover that a good many of my friends do not even listen To correct this sad situation my big idea---shy
This is the age of spaceT----- I see a space craft land A man steps from it and round him gather nearby people He does not know where he is or anything of this new land The inhabitants inform him that he is in the most beautiful of the fifty states of the USA Subsequently he learns that they need a leader He has no idea nor is he informed that there is an incumbent With leadership in mind he travels the state makes surveys of needs resources men and means and then makes suggestions of improvements and offers himself as a guide
There is absolutely no mention made of any opposition as to men or ideas He simply offers himself and his ideas (perhaps gleaned from outer space) and awaits the decision of the inhabitants
I think a campaign with a total blank in words as to anything but constructive thinking would draw the eyes and ears of all the people (and maybe the moon)
SIncerely (Miss) Mary R Marsh
PS The space man seeming to be totally deaf to any blasts or even words from opposition

There is absolutely no mention made of any opposition as to men or ideas He simply offers himself and his ideas (perhaps gleaned from outer space) and awaits the decision of the inhabitants
