In conversation with Ross wurm he has Lnfo rme d me that thpre are exoo sures available before aricultural groups Ihe se could c worked in during the month of AUEust and ear Iy September pri or to tre kickoff of the formal canpaign
Arrancments can be made fJr apperrance s be f ore th~ fo Ll owing gr~u~Js (1) ~)outhern CaLi f or rri a dairymen ~Lt ICrotts Berry Farm or Disney l and Representation from da i ryrien from t he ent Lre southern pa r t of Ca1 ifornia () Northern Califor nia vesetable growers at Sacramento or Stockton Representatives of 3uch o omraod ity g r oupa as tomato aspar-arus sUiarheet crops and this wou Ld include West Side Delta and ~acramento valley farmers (3) Lake county barbecue at Lakenort Local Groups pronri se to turn trte entire county out fCJr mid-day barbecue
It is my opinion that w should cap i talize on the d l saenai on Pot Br-ow n has ~onCr8ted in agricultural c irc Le s I have fou nd from e xpe r ie nc e that farme ra in eneral are more i lling to c ontrLmte to campaigns and are more vocal in their discussions about poitics before STOUpS than are business or professi0nal J8ople

Statement of John V Newman Chairman Statewide Ranchers for Shell Committee
61862
Ranchers for Shell are joining with our friends in the
~armers for Nixon group to work together for the elctien
of Nixon and Chris topher in November
Nixon and Christopher offer the people of california a
trained and experienced management team that will create
a favorable economic cltmate for business labor and agriculshy
ture as well as restore fiscal responsibility to our state
government Pat Brown has already proven that he can
accomplish none of these things
We had a spirited and well fought primary Mr Nixon won
It is that simple 1 am sure that Mr Nixon knows of and
respects the thinking of the many hundreds of thousands of
Californian who voted for Joe Shell Any difference
remaining will be worked out within the framework of the
Republican Party

The Brovm Adoinistrationts record in a~riculture favors one ~~~~~DF HANSEN corunodi t y-o-the political ~)1U1 I propose to replace this S V CHRIS bitter fruit vdth an eigJ1t-point action progr-an that will S~Ii~as T1ERSON benefit both the California faraer and consuner BRUNEL CHRISTENSEN Likely California I s agriculture and its allied Lndus t r Les add (~12 JOHN SPARKMAN billion annually to our states total economic product For Poway every hundred wor-ker-s on the farn there are 263 others who EARL S SMITTCAMP are directly dependent upon a0riculture Clearly what happensClovis to farming is of concern to every Californian Agriculture KEITH REEVE is Californias nw~ber one industry and we all have a majorTracy
stake in its prosperity and Growth WARREN BROCK EI Centro
1 To restore the farmerts confidence in his goverruJent I will replace Drown I s political appointees with nen of quality and experience who are thorou~hly verse~ in the complex probshylems of our states agriculture
Brown has aade three consecutive politically-inspired partisan appoint~ents to the key position of Director of Agriculture
First there was -illia-] T~arne a nan who had spent the previous decade out of the country and who had not been near California farm probLeus sinc e the ilid-30 s Br-own later allowed 1illiam -Tarne to try to kidnap the State Depar-tnerrt of AGriculture and bury it in his bureaucratic laze even t hough the Legislashyture had s)ecifically directed otherwise It was only the united and spontaneous opposition of all farm Groups across the State that blocked this self-serving move
Next cane James Ralph a newcomer- to California who was fired by the national administration for being involved in the Billy Sol istes scandal
And now there is Charles Paul another newcomer who was picked for purely political purposes over the heads of better qualishyfied career Den and faro leaders
2 I wiLl support a Federal n inimurraquo wage for agriculture and fill cppcs e a California manimun HaGe law for farn wor-ker s Such a California statute liould only serve to put California agriculture in a position where it could not possibly coopete with states that are currently payin~ far less for faro labor
- MORE shy
Page 2 - RiUS FOR FARlIERS FOR NIXON - Iiay 24 1962
3 I will work to see that suppleoental supplies of forei~n labor are available when there is a shortage of ~ualified domestic farm labor There are ti~es at the peak of harvest when forei~n labor is necessary to gather in its crops Brov1n has given the silent treat~ent to the need for such supplemental labor even at times when the need for such assistance has been certified to by members of his own cabinet
Br-own and ilembers of his staff have joined with such persons as former U S Assistant Secretary of Labor Jerry Bolleuan in adding harassshying restrictions to the use of suppleoental labor Holleman is another man who was caught wLt h his plan greased by Billy Sol 3stes
There are many fine farra organizations in our state that 1amp ve wor-ked diliGently to insure themselves of an adequate supply of donestic labor I Hill encourage these voluntary Iarri groups in their activishyties in setting up referral offices and in their efforts to use domesshytic labor to the fullest extent
4 I will use my experience in international affairs to find ways to increase our far-n exports Californias agriculture is based on specialshyty crops Only about 1~)1 of our far-m Lncome is from Federal sub s Ldie s There is a very real danger that these unsubsidized crops with little political weight on the national scales could be put on the auction b Lock under the new international trade agreerlents pr-ogr-am Brown has no exper Lenc e in international negotiations iior-eover- he is under pressure fr-ozi his party in Jashington His typical response has again been to call do-nothing me et Ings He need a governor who will stand up and fight for Californias products I Hill use my kn owledge of the international bar-ga in ing table to see that the Ior-e i n mar-ket for our c ornioddt Les is not traded away by State Departoent negotLators
5 I 11ill oppose all Federal atteopts to impose the 160-acre limitashytion on State financed water projects The 160-acre limitation was originally designed to assure equitable ~istricution of Federallyshyowned and Federally-rec12imed land To use it as a political instrushyment for expropriation is noth In but a cynical s cheae BroM1 has t81~ed out of both s ides of his nout h on the 160-acre limitation wh ile his left vJing California Deraocr-at i c Council has handed out the party line to support this outnoded concept
6 I will see that the voices of all coramod i ty groups are fully and equally heard California is the greatest agricultural producing state in the nation This vlealth-creating pouer steus from 11Ore than 200 crops aany ofwhich comprise the bulk of United States production Cotton grower-s dairynen at ocknan fru it and vegetable Iar-ner-s-o-alJ must be able to present their distinct and speci81 probleos to a Governor who will not play favorites
7 One of my first acts as Governor 11ill be to work toirar-ds restoring the State Board of Agriculture to its Icrme r outstanding ~)osition in the nation Dow it is composed of eight menbers of Brov1ns political par-t-y and one traditionally ac adeo i c zppo intnerrt For s orie tine a tacit r-equ i r-ement for appo irrtnerrt to this Board Has membership in the California Denocrat ic Farmers Congr-es s a Janas Ralph partisan innovashytion
8 Finally I will replace indecisions with the strong leadership our State so desperately needs in all agricultural areas

Mr H R Haldeman Campaign Manager Nixon For Governor 3908 Wilshire Boulevard Los Angeles 5 California
Dear Bob
It was real nice to see you last Friday in Los Angeles You asked me to submit some suggestions to you with respect to the summer and fall campaign as regards agriculture
I think it is essential that the fall and summer plans include trips by Mr Nixon through the agricultural areas stopping at some of the small communities in and around the larger cities in the agricultural areas This can be done by bus and would enable us to encourage participation by farmers and those connected with farming in the areas that would be covered Such tours would lend themselves for comshyments and observations on such things as agricultural labor the price of agricultural commodities pictures with local non-political agricultural leaders contacts with ethnical groups as Japanese Armenian Hindu Portuguese and others contacts with editors and publishers of small dailies and weeklies The timing of such trips might be best suited to harvest operations and should be planned in advance to enable contacts to be made with agricultural leaders
Of any liabilities that might arise I can think of only two at the present time - one being that it would tend to take the candidate away from the large metropolitan areas and there may be instances in which organized labor might attempt to emshybarrass the candidate on such a trip I think the latter is a calculated risk that we can deal with if such a situation should arise Maximum time allowed to do campaigning north of the Tehachapis should not exceed twelve days - minimum time would be six days Outdoor picnics and barbecues could be used to attract large audiences where appropriate

61862
Ranchers for Shell are joining with our friends in the
~armers for Nixon group to work together for the elctien
of Nixon and Chris topher in November
Nixon and Christopher offer the people of california a
trained and experienced management team that will create
a favorable economic cltmate for business labor and agriculshy
ture as well as restore fiscal responsibility to our state
government Pat Brown has already proven that he can
accomplish none of these things
We had a spirited and well fought primary Mr Nixon won
It is that simple 1 am sure that Mr Nixon knows of and
respects the thinking of the many hundreds of thousands of
Californian who voted for Joe Shell Any difference
remaining will be worked out within the framework of the
Republican Party

The Brovm Adoinistrationts record in a~riculture favors one ~~~~~DF HANSEN corunodi t y-o-the political ~)1U1 I propose to replace this S V CHRIS bitter fruit vdth an eigJ1t-point action progr-an that will S~Ii~as T1ERSON benefit both the California faraer and consuner BRUNEL CHRISTENSEN Likely California I s agriculture and its allied Lndus t r Les add (~12 JOHN SPARKMAN billion annually to our states total economic product For Poway every hundred wor-ker-s on the farn there are 263 others who EARL S SMITTCAMP are directly dependent upon a0riculture Clearly what happensClovis to farming is of concern to every Californian Agriculture KEITH REEVE is Californias nw~ber one industry and we all have a majorTracy
stake in its prosperity and Growth WARREN BROCK EI Centro
1 To restore the farmerts confidence in his goverruJent I will replace Drown I s political appointees with nen of quality and experience who are thorou~hly verse~ in the complex probshylems of our states agriculture
Brown has aade three consecutive politically-inspired partisan appoint~ents to the key position of Director of Agriculture
First there was -illia-] T~arne a nan who had spent the previous decade out of the country and who had not been near California farm probLeus sinc e the ilid-30 s Br-own later allowed 1illiam -Tarne to try to kidnap the State Depar-tnerrt of AGriculture and bury it in his bureaucratic laze even t hough the Legislashyture had s)ecifically directed otherwise It was only the united and spontaneous opposition of all farm Groups across the State that blocked this self-serving move
Next cane James Ralph a newcomer- to California who was fired by the national administration for being involved in the Billy Sol istes scandal
And now there is Charles Paul another newcomer who was picked for purely political purposes over the heads of better qualishyfied career Den and faro leaders
2 I wiLl support a Federal n inimurraquo wage for agriculture and fill cppcs e a California manimun HaGe law for farn wor-ker s Such a California statute liould only serve to put California agriculture in a position where it could not possibly coopete with states that are currently payin~ far less for faro labor
- MORE shy
Page 2 - RiUS FOR FARlIERS FOR NIXON - Iiay 24 1962
3 I will work to see that suppleoental supplies of forei~n labor are available when there is a shortage of ~ualified domestic farm labor There are ti~es at the peak of harvest when forei~n labor is necessary to gather in its crops Brov1n has given the silent treat~ent to the need for such supplemental labor even at times when the need for such assistance has been certified to by members of his own cabinet
Br-own and ilembers of his staff have joined with such persons as former U S Assistant Secretary of Labor Jerry Bolleuan in adding harassshying restrictions to the use of suppleoental labor Holleman is another man who was caught wLt h his plan greased by Billy Sol 3stes
There are many fine farra organizations in our state that 1amp ve wor-ked diliGently to insure themselves of an adequate supply of donestic labor I Hill encourage these voluntary Iarri groups in their activishyties in setting up referral offices and in their efforts to use domesshytic labor to the fullest extent
4 I will use my experience in international affairs to find ways to increase our far-n exports Californias agriculture is based on specialshyty crops Only about 1~)1 of our far-m Lncome is from Federal sub s Ldie s There is a very real danger that these unsubsidized crops with little political weight on the national scales could be put on the auction b Lock under the new international trade agreerlents pr-ogr-am Brown has no exper Lenc e in international negotiations iior-eover- he is under pressure fr-ozi his party in Jashington His typical response has again been to call do-nothing me et Ings He need a governor who will stand up and fight for Californias products I Hill use my kn owledge of the international bar-ga in ing table to see that the Ior-e i n mar-ket for our c ornioddt Les is not traded away by State Departoent negotLators
5 I 11ill oppose all Federal atteopts to impose the 160-acre limitashytion on State financed water projects The 160-acre limitation was originally designed to assure equitable ~istricution of Federallyshyowned and Federally-rec12imed land To use it as a political instrushyment for expropriation is noth In but a cynical s cheae BroM1 has t81~ed out of both s ides of his nout h on the 160-acre limitation wh ile his left vJing California Deraocr-at i c Council has handed out the party line to support this outnoded concept
6 I will see that the voices of all coramod i ty groups are fully and equally heard California is the greatest agricultural producing state in the nation This vlealth-creating pouer steus from 11Ore than 200 crops aany ofwhich comprise the bulk of United States production Cotton grower-s dairynen at ocknan fru it and vegetable Iar-ner-s-o-alJ must be able to present their distinct and speci81 probleos to a Governor who will not play favorites
7 One of my first acts as Governor 11ill be to work toirar-ds restoring the State Board of Agriculture to its Icrme r outstanding ~)osition in the nation Dow it is composed of eight menbers of Brov1ns political par-t-y and one traditionally ac adeo i c zppo intnerrt For s orie tine a tacit r-equ i r-ement for appo irrtnerrt to this Board Has membership in the California Denocrat ic Farmers Congr-es s a Janas Ralph partisan innovashytion
8 Finally I will replace indecisions with the strong leadership our State so desperately needs in all agricultural areas

Mr H R Haldeman Campaign Manager Nixon For Governor 3908 Wilshire Boulevard Los Angeles 5 California
Dear Bob
It was real nice to see you last Friday in Los Angeles You asked me to submit some suggestions to you with respect to the summer and fall campaign as regards agriculture
I think it is essential that the fall and summer plans include trips by Mr Nixon through the agricultural areas stopping at some of the small communities in and around the larger cities in the agricultural areas This can be done by bus and would enable us to encourage participation by farmers and those connected with farming in the areas that would be covered Such tours would lend themselves for comshyments and observations on such things as agricultural labor the price of agricultural commodities pictures with local non-political agricultural leaders contacts with ethnical groups as Japanese Armenian Hindu Portuguese and others contacts with editors and publishers of small dailies and weeklies The timing of such trips might be best suited to harvest operations and should be planned in advance to enable contacts to be made with agricultural leaders
Of any liabilities that might arise I can think of only two at the present time - one being that it would tend to take the candidate away from the large metropolitan areas and there may be instances in which organized labor might attempt to emshybarrass the candidate on such a trip I think the latter is a calculated risk that we can deal with if such a situation should arise Maximum time allowed to do campaigning north of the Tehachapis should not exceed twelve days - minimum time would be six days Outdoor picnics and barbecues could be used to attract large audiences where appropriate

Ranchers for Shell are joining with our friends in the
~armers for Nixon group to work together for the elctien
of Nixon and Chris topher in November
Nixon and Christopher offer the people of california a
trained and experienced management team that will create
a favorable economic cltmate for business labor and agriculshy
ture as well as restore fiscal responsibility to our state
government Pat Brown has already proven that he can
accomplish none of these things
We had a spirited and well fought primary Mr Nixon won
It is that simple 1 am sure that Mr Nixon knows of and
respects the thinking of the many hundreds of thousands of
Californian who voted for Joe Shell Any difference
remaining will be worked out within the framework of the
Republican Party

The Brovm Adoinistrationts record in a~riculture favors one ~~~~~DF HANSEN corunodi t y-o-the political ~)1U1 I propose to replace this S V CHRIS bitter fruit vdth an eigJ1t-point action progr-an that will S~Ii~as T1ERSON benefit both the California faraer and consuner BRUNEL CHRISTENSEN Likely California I s agriculture and its allied Lndus t r Les add (~12 JOHN SPARKMAN billion annually to our states total economic product For Poway every hundred wor-ker-s on the farn there are 263 others who EARL S SMITTCAMP are directly dependent upon a0riculture Clearly what happensClovis to farming is of concern to every Californian Agriculture KEITH REEVE is Californias nw~ber one industry and we all have a majorTracy
stake in its prosperity and Growth WARREN BROCK EI Centro
1 To restore the farmerts confidence in his goverruJent I will replace Drown I s political appointees with nen of quality and experience who are thorou~hly verse~ in the complex probshylems of our states agriculture
Brown has aade three consecutive politically-inspired partisan appoint~ents to the key position of Director of Agriculture
First there was -illia-] T~arne a nan who had spent the previous decade out of the country and who had not been near California farm probLeus sinc e the ilid-30 s Br-own later allowed 1illiam -Tarne to try to kidnap the State Depar-tnerrt of AGriculture and bury it in his bureaucratic laze even t hough the Legislashyture had s)ecifically directed otherwise It was only the united and spontaneous opposition of all farm Groups across the State that blocked this self-serving move
Next cane James Ralph a newcomer- to California who was fired by the national administration for being involved in the Billy Sol istes scandal
And now there is Charles Paul another newcomer who was picked for purely political purposes over the heads of better qualishyfied career Den and faro leaders
2 I wiLl support a Federal n inimurraquo wage for agriculture and fill cppcs e a California manimun HaGe law for farn wor-ker s Such a California statute liould only serve to put California agriculture in a position where it could not possibly coopete with states that are currently payin~ far less for faro labor
- MORE shy
Page 2 - RiUS FOR FARlIERS FOR NIXON - Iiay 24 1962
3 I will work to see that suppleoental supplies of forei~n labor are available when there is a shortage of ~ualified domestic farm labor There are ti~es at the peak of harvest when forei~n labor is necessary to gather in its crops Brov1n has given the silent treat~ent to the need for such supplemental labor even at times when the need for such assistance has been certified to by members of his own cabinet
Br-own and ilembers of his staff have joined with such persons as former U S Assistant Secretary of Labor Jerry Bolleuan in adding harassshying restrictions to the use of suppleoental labor Holleman is another man who was caught wLt h his plan greased by Billy Sol 3stes
There are many fine farra organizations in our state that 1amp ve wor-ked diliGently to insure themselves of an adequate supply of donestic labor I Hill encourage these voluntary Iarri groups in their activishyties in setting up referral offices and in their efforts to use domesshytic labor to the fullest extent
4 I will use my experience in international affairs to find ways to increase our far-n exports Californias agriculture is based on specialshyty crops Only about 1~)1 of our far-m Lncome is from Federal sub s Ldie s There is a very real danger that these unsubsidized crops with little political weight on the national scales could be put on the auction b Lock under the new international trade agreerlents pr-ogr-am Brown has no exper Lenc e in international negotiations iior-eover- he is under pressure fr-ozi his party in Jashington His typical response has again been to call do-nothing me et Ings He need a governor who will stand up and fight for Californias products I Hill use my kn owledge of the international bar-ga in ing table to see that the Ior-e i n mar-ket for our c ornioddt Les is not traded away by State Departoent negotLators
5 I 11ill oppose all Federal atteopts to impose the 160-acre limitashytion on State financed water projects The 160-acre limitation was originally designed to assure equitable ~istricution of Federallyshyowned and Federally-rec12imed land To use it as a political instrushyment for expropriation is noth In but a cynical s cheae BroM1 has t81~ed out of both s ides of his nout h on the 160-acre limitation wh ile his left vJing California Deraocr-at i c Council has handed out the party line to support this outnoded concept
6 I will see that the voices of all coramod i ty groups are fully and equally heard California is the greatest agricultural producing state in the nation This vlealth-creating pouer steus from 11Ore than 200 crops aany ofwhich comprise the bulk of United States production Cotton grower-s dairynen at ocknan fru it and vegetable Iar-ner-s-o-alJ must be able to present their distinct and speci81 probleos to a Governor who will not play favorites
7 One of my first acts as Governor 11ill be to work toirar-ds restoring the State Board of Agriculture to its Icrme r outstanding ~)osition in the nation Dow it is composed of eight menbers of Brov1ns political par-t-y and one traditionally ac adeo i c zppo intnerrt For s orie tine a tacit r-equ i r-ement for appo irrtnerrt to this Board Has membership in the California Denocrat ic Farmers Congr-es s a Janas Ralph partisan innovashytion
8 Finally I will replace indecisions with the strong leadership our State so desperately needs in all agricultural areas

Mr H R Haldeman Campaign Manager Nixon For Governor 3908 Wilshire Boulevard Los Angeles 5 California
Dear Bob
It was real nice to see you last Friday in Los Angeles You asked me to submit some suggestions to you with respect to the summer and fall campaign as regards agriculture
I think it is essential that the fall and summer plans include trips by Mr Nixon through the agricultural areas stopping at some of the small communities in and around the larger cities in the agricultural areas This can be done by bus and would enable us to encourage participation by farmers and those connected with farming in the areas that would be covered Such tours would lend themselves for comshyments and observations on such things as agricultural labor the price of agricultural commodities pictures with local non-political agricultural leaders contacts with ethnical groups as Japanese Armenian Hindu Portuguese and others contacts with editors and publishers of small dailies and weeklies The timing of such trips might be best suited to harvest operations and should be planned in advance to enable contacts to be made with agricultural leaders
Of any liabilities that might arise I can think of only two at the present time - one being that it would tend to take the candidate away from the large metropolitan areas and there may be instances in which organized labor might attempt to emshybarrass the candidate on such a trip I think the latter is a calculated risk that we can deal with if such a situation should arise Maximum time allowed to do campaigning north of the Tehachapis should not exceed twelve days - minimum time would be six days Outdoor picnics and barbecues could be used to attract large audiences where appropriate

61862
Ranchers for Shell are joining with our friends in the
~armers for Nixon group to work together for the elctien
of Nixon and Chris topher in November
Nixon and Christopher offer the people of california a
trained and experienced management team that will create
a favorable economic cltmate for business labor and agriculshy
ture as well as restore fiscal responsibility to our state
government Pat Brown has already proven that he can
accomplish none of these things
We had a spirited and well fought primary Mr Nixon won
It is that simple 1 am sure that Mr Nixon knows of and
respects the thinking of the many hundreds of thousands of
Californian who voted for Joe Shell Any difference
remaining will be worked out within the framework of the
Republican Party

J L SULLIVAN Yuba City The foLLowfng statenerrt reGarding the agricultural problems HARVEY A LYNN of California was released by Dick Eixon after consultation Arlington with the statewide Farmers For Nixon COJildittee W B CAMP Bakersfield
The Brovm Adoinistrationts record in a~riculture favors one ~~~~~DF HANSEN corunodi t y-o-the political ~)1U1 I propose to replace this S V CHRIS bitter fruit vdth an eigJ1t-point action progr-an that will S~Ii~as T1ERSON benefit both the California faraer and consuner BRUNEL CHRISTENSEN Likely California I s agriculture and its allied Lndus t r Les add (~12 JOHN SPARKMAN billion annually to our states total economic product For Poway every hundred wor-ker-s on the farn there are 263 others who EARL S SMITTCAMP are directly dependent upon a0riculture Clearly what happensClovis to farming is of concern to every Californian Agriculture KEITH REEVE is Californias nw~ber one industry and we all have a majorTracy
stake in its prosperity and Growth WARREN BROCK EI Centro
1 To restore the farmerts confidence in his goverruJent I will replace Drown I s political appointees with nen of quality and experience who are thorou~hly verse~ in the complex probshylems of our states agriculture
Brown has aade three consecutive politically-inspired partisan appoint~ents to the key position of Director of Agriculture
First there was -illia-] T~arne a nan who had spent the previous decade out of the country and who had not been near California farm probLeus sinc e the ilid-30 s Br-own later allowed 1illiam -Tarne to try to kidnap the State Depar-tnerrt of AGriculture and bury it in his bureaucratic laze even t hough the Legislashyture had s)ecifically directed otherwise It was only the united and spontaneous opposition of all farm Groups across the State that blocked this self-serving move
Next cane James Ralph a newcomer- to California who was fired by the national administration for being involved in the Billy Sol istes scandal
And now there is Charles Paul another newcomer who was picked for purely political purposes over the heads of better qualishyfied career Den and faro leaders
2 I wiLl support a Federal n inimurraquo wage for agriculture and fill cppcs e a California manimun HaGe law for farn wor-ker s Such a California statute liould only serve to put California agriculture in a position where it could not possibly coopete with states that are currently payin~ far less for faro labor
- MORE shy
Page 2 - RiUS FOR FARlIERS FOR NIXON - Iiay 24 1962
3 I will work to see that suppleoental supplies of forei~n labor are available when there is a shortage of ~ualified domestic farm labor There are ti~es at the peak of harvest when forei~n labor is necessary to gather in its crops Brov1n has given the silent treat~ent to the need for such supplemental labor even at times when the need for such assistance has been certified to by members of his own cabinet
Br-own and ilembers of his staff have joined with such persons as former U S Assistant Secretary of Labor Jerry Bolleuan in adding harassshying restrictions to the use of suppleoental labor Holleman is another man who was caught wLt h his plan greased by Billy Sol 3stes
There are many fine farra organizations in our state that 1amp ve wor-ked diliGently to insure themselves of an adequate supply of donestic labor I Hill encourage these voluntary Iarri groups in their activishyties in setting up referral offices and in their efforts to use domesshytic labor to the fullest extent
4 I will use my experience in international affairs to find ways to increase our far-n exports Californias agriculture is based on specialshyty crops Only about 1~)1 of our far-m Lncome is from Federal sub s Ldie s There is a very real danger that these unsubsidized crops with little political weight on the national scales could be put on the auction b Lock under the new international trade agreerlents pr-ogr-am Brown has no exper Lenc e in international negotiations iior-eover- he is under pressure fr-ozi his party in Jashington His typical response has again been to call do-nothing me et Ings He need a governor who will stand up and fight for Californias products I Hill use my kn owledge of the international bar-ga in ing table to see that the Ior-e i n mar-ket for our c ornioddt Les is not traded away by State Departoent negotLators
5 I 11ill oppose all Federal atteopts to impose the 160-acre limitashytion on State financed water projects The 160-acre limitation was originally designed to assure equitable ~istricution of Federallyshyowned and Federally-rec12imed land To use it as a political instrushyment for expropriation is noth In but a cynical s cheae BroM1 has t81~ed out of both s ides of his nout h on the 160-acre limitation wh ile his left vJing California Deraocr-at i c Council has handed out the party line to support this outnoded concept
6 I will see that the voices of all coramod i ty groups are fully and equally heard California is the greatest agricultural producing state in the nation This vlealth-creating pouer steus from 11Ore than 200 crops aany ofwhich comprise the bulk of United States production Cotton grower-s dairynen at ocknan fru it and vegetable Iar-ner-s-o-alJ must be able to present their distinct and speci81 probleos to a Governor who will not play favorites
7 One of my first acts as Governor 11ill be to work toirar-ds restoring the State Board of Agriculture to its Icrme r outstanding ~)osition in the nation Dow it is composed of eight menbers of Brov1ns political par-t-y and one traditionally ac adeo i c zppo intnerrt For s orie tine a tacit r-equ i r-ement for appo irrtnerrt to this Board Has membership in the California Denocrat ic Farmers Congr-es s a Janas Ralph partisan innovashytion
8 Finally I will replace indecisions with the strong leadership our State so desperately needs in all agricultural areas

Mr H R Haldeman Campaign Manager Nixon For Governor 3908 Wilshire Boulevard Los Angeles 5 California
Dear Bob
It was real nice to see you last Friday in Los Angeles You asked me to submit some suggestions to you with respect to the summer and fall campaign as regards agriculture
I think it is essential that the fall and summer plans include trips by Mr Nixon through the agricultural areas stopping at some of the small communities in and around the larger cities in the agricultural areas This can be done by bus and would enable us to encourage participation by farmers and those connected with farming in the areas that would be covered Such tours would lend themselves for comshyments and observations on such things as agricultural labor the price of agricultural commodities pictures with local non-political agricultural leaders contacts with ethnical groups as Japanese Armenian Hindu Portuguese and others contacts with editors and publishers of small dailies and weeklies The timing of such trips might be best suited to harvest operations and should be planned in advance to enable contacts to be made with agricultural leaders
Of any liabilities that might arise I can think of only two at the present time - one being that it would tend to take the candidate away from the large metropolitan areas and there may be instances in which organized labor might attempt to emshybarrass the candidate on such a trip I think the latter is a calculated risk that we can deal with if such a situation should arise Maximum time allowed to do campaigning north of the Tehachapis should not exceed twelve days - minimum time would be six days Outdoor picnics and barbecues could be used to attract large audiences where appropriate

2 I wiLl support a Federal n inimurraquo wage for agriculture and fill cppcs e a California manimun HaGe law for farn wor-ker s Such a California statute liould only serve to put California agriculture in a position where it could not possibly coopete with states that are currently payin~ far less for faro labor

Page 2 - RiUS FOR FARlIERS FOR NIXON - Iiay 24 1962
3 I will work to see that suppleoental supplies of forei~n labor are available when there is a shortage of ~ualified domestic farm labor There are ti~es at the peak of harvest when forei~n labor is necessary to gather in its crops Brov1n has given the silent treat~ent to the need for such supplemental labor even at times when the need for such assistance has been certified to by members of his own cabinet
Br-own and ilembers of his staff have joined with such persons as former U S Assistant Secretary of Labor Jerry Bolleuan in adding harassshying restrictions to the use of suppleoental labor Holleman is another man who was caught wLt h his plan greased by Billy Sol 3stes

4 I will use my experience in international affairs to find ways to increase our far-n exports Californias agriculture is based on specialshyty crops Only about 1~)1 of our far-m Lncome is from Federal sub s Ldie s There is a very real danger that these unsubsidized crops with little political weight on the national scales could be put on the auction b Lock under the new international trade agreerlents pr-ogr-am Brown has no exper Lenc e in international negotiations iior-eover- he is under pressure fr-ozi his party in Jashington His typical response has again been to call do-nothing me et Ings He need a governor who will stand up and fight for Californias products I Hill use my kn owledge of the international bar-ga in ing table to see that the Ior-e i n mar-ket for our c ornioddt Les is not traded away by State Departoent negotLators
5 I 11ill oppose all Federal atteopts to impose the 160-acre limitashytion on State financed water projects The 160-acre limitation was originally designed to assure equitable ~istricution of Federallyshyowned and Federally-rec12imed land To use it as a political instrushyment for expropriation is noth In but a cynical s cheae BroM1 has t81~ed out of both s ides of his nout h on the 160-acre limitation wh ile his left vJing California Deraocr-at i c Council has handed out the party line to support this outnoded concept
6 I will see that the voices of all coramod i ty groups are fully and equally heard California is the greatest agricultural producing state in the nation This vlealth-creating pouer steus from 11Ore than 200 crops aany ofwhich comprise the bulk of United States production Cotton grower-s dairynen at ocknan fru it and vegetable Iar-ner-s-o-alJ must be able to present their distinct and speci81 probleos to a Governor who will not play favorites
7 One of my first acts as Governor 11ill be to work toirar-ds restoring the State Board of Agriculture to its Icrme r outstanding ~)osition in the nation Dow it is composed of eight menbers of Brov1ns political par-t-y and one traditionally ac adeo i c zppo intnerrt For s orie tine a tacit r-equ i r-ement for appo irrtnerrt to this Board Has membership in the California Denocrat ic Farmers Congr-es s a Janas Ralph partisan innovashytion

Mr H R Haldeman Campaign Manager Nixon For Governor 3908 Wilshire Boulevard Los Angeles 5 California
Dear Bob
It was real nice to see you last Friday in Los Angeles You asked me to submit some suggestions to you with respect to the summer and fall campaign as regards agriculture
I think it is essential that the fall and summer plans include trips by Mr Nixon through the agricultural areas stopping at some of the small communities in and around the larger cities in the agricultural areas This can be done by bus and would enable us to encourage participation by farmers and those connected with farming in the areas that would be covered Such tours would lend themselves for comshyments and observations on such things as agricultural labor the price of agricultural commodities pictures with local non-political agricultural leaders contacts with ethnical groups as Japanese Armenian Hindu Portuguese and others contacts with editors and publishers of small dailies and weeklies The timing of such trips might be best suited to harvest operations and should be planned in advance to enable contacts to be made with agricultural leaders
Of any liabilities that might arise I can think of only two at the present time - one being that it would tend to take the candidate away from the large metropolitan areas and there may be instances in which organized labor might attempt to emshybarrass the candidate on such a trip I think the latter is a calculated risk that we can deal with if such a situation should arise Maximum time allowed to do campaigning north of the Tehachapis should not exceed twelve days - minimum time would be six days Outdoor picnics and barbecues could be used to attract large audiences where appropriate

Dear Bob
It was real nice to see you last Friday in Los Angeles You asked me to submit some suggestions to you with respect to the summer and fall campaign as regards agriculture
I think it is essential that the fall and summer plans include trips by Mr Nixon through the agricultural areas stopping at some of the small communities in and around the larger cities in the agricultural areas This can be done by bus and would enable us to encourage participation by farmers and those connected with farming in the areas that would be covered Such tours would lend themselves for comshyments and observations on such things as agricultural labor the price of agricultural commodities pictures with local non-political agricultural leaders contacts with ethnical groups as Japanese Armenian Hindu Portuguese and others contacts with editors and publishers of small dailies and weeklies The timing of such trips might be best suited to harvest operations and should be planned in advance to enable contacts to be made with agricultural leaders
Of any liabilities that might arise I can think of only two at the present time - one being that it would tend to take the candidate away from the large metropolitan areas and there may be instances in which organized labor might attempt to emshybarrass the candidate on such a trip I think the latter is a calculated risk that we can deal with if such a situation should arise Maximum time allowed to do campaigning north of the Tehachapis should not exceed twelve days - minimum time would be six days Outdoor picnics and barbecues could be used to attract large audiences where appropriate

It is my opinion that w should cap i talize on the d l saenai on Pot Br-ow n has ~onCr8ted in agricultural c irc Le s I have fou nd from e xpe r ie nc e that farme ra in eneral are more i lling to c ontrLmte to campaigns and are more vocal in their discussions about poitics before STOUpS than are business or professi0nal J8ople

Ranchers for Shell are joining with our friends in the
~armers for Nixon group to work together for the elctien
of Nixon and Chris topher in November
Nixon and Christopher offer the people of california a
trained and experienced management team that will create
a favorable economic cltmate for business labor and agriculshy
ture as well as restore fiscal responsibility to our state
government Pat Brown has already proven that he can
accomplish none of these things
We had a spirited and well fought primary Mr Nixon won
It is that simple 1 am sure that Mr Nixon knows of and
respects the thinking of the many hundreds of thousands of
Californian who voted for Joe Shell Any difference
remaining will be worked out within the framework of the
Republican Party

stake in its prosperity and Growth WARREN BROCK EI Centro
1 To restore the farmerts confidence in his goverruJent I will replace Drown I s political appointees with nen of quality and experience who are thorou~hly verse~ in the complex probshylems of our states agriculture
Brown has aade three consecutive politically-inspired partisan appoint~ents to the key position of Director of Agriculture
First there was -illia-] T~arne a nan who had spent the previous decade out of the country and who had not been near California farm probLeus sinc e the ilid-30 s Br-own later allowed 1illiam -Tarne to try to kidnap the State Depar-tnerrt of AGriculture and bury it in his bureaucratic laze even t hough the Legislashyture had s)ecifically directed otherwise It was only the united and spontaneous opposition of all farm Groups across the State that blocked this self-serving move
Next cane James Ralph a newcomer- to California who was fired by the national administration for being involved in the Billy Sol istes scandal
And now there is Charles Paul another newcomer who was picked for purely political purposes over the heads of better qualishyfied career Den and faro leaders
2 I wiLl support a Federal n inimurraquo wage for agriculture and fill cppcs e a California manimun HaGe law for farn wor-ker s Such a California statute liould only serve to put California agriculture in a position where it could not possibly coopete with states that are currently payin~ far less for faro labor

Page 2 - RiUS FOR FARlIERS FOR NIXON - Iiay 24 1962
3 I will work to see that suppleoental supplies of forei~n labor are available when there is a shortage of ~ualified domestic farm labor There are ti~es at the peak of harvest when forei~n labor is necessary to gather in its crops Brov1n has given the silent treat~ent to the need for such supplemental labor even at times when the need for such assistance has been certified to by members of his own cabinet
Br-own and ilembers of his staff have joined with such persons as former U S Assistant Secretary of Labor Jerry Bolleuan in adding harassshying restrictions to the use of suppleoental labor Holleman is another man who was caught wLt h his plan greased by Billy Sol 3stes
There are many fine farra organizations in our state that 1amp ve wor-ked diliGently to insure themselves of an adequate supply of donestic labor I Hill encourage these voluntary Iarri groups in their activishyties in setting up referral offices and in their efforts to use domesshytic labor to the fullest extent
4 I will use my experience in international affairs to find ways to increase our far-n exports Californias agriculture is based on specialshyty crops Only about 1~)1 of our far-m Lncome is from Federal sub s Ldie s There is a very real danger that these unsubsidized crops with little political weight on the national scales could be put on the auction b Lock under the new international trade agreerlents pr-ogr-am Brown has no exper Lenc e in international negotiations iior-eover- he is under pressure fr-ozi his party in Jashington His typical response has again been to call do-nothing me et Ings He need a governor who will stand up and fight for Californias products I Hill use my kn owledge of the international bar-ga in ing table to see that the Ior-e i n mar-ket for our c ornioddt Les is not traded away by State Departoent negotLators
5 I 11ill oppose all Federal atteopts to impose the 160-acre limitashytion on State financed water projects The 160-acre limitation was originally designed to assure equitable ~istricution of Federallyshyowned and Federally-rec12imed land To use it as a political instrushyment for expropriation is noth In but a cynical s cheae BroM1 has t81~ed out of both s ides of his nout h on the 160-acre limitation wh ile his left vJing California Deraocr-at i c Council has handed out the party line to support this outnoded concept

Dear Bob
It was real nice to see you last Friday in Los Angeles You asked me to submit some suggestions to you with respect to the summer and fall campaign as regards agriculture
I think it is essential that the fall and summer plans include trips by Mr Nixon through the agricultural areas stopping at some of the small communities in and around the larger cities in the agricultural areas This can be done by bus and would enable us to encourage participation by farmers and those connected with farming in the areas that would be covered Such tours would lend themselves for comshyments and observations on such things as agricultural labor the price of agricultural commodities pictures with local non-political agricultural leaders contacts with ethnical groups as Japanese Armenian Hindu Portuguese and others contacts with editors and publishers of small dailies and weeklies The timing of such trips might be best suited to harvest operations and should be planned in advance to enable contacts to be made with agricultural leaders
Of any liabilities that might arise I can think of only two at the present time - one being that it would tend to take the candidate away from the large metropolitan areas and there may be instances in which organized labor might attempt to emshybarrass the candidate on such a trip I think the latter is a calculated risk that we can deal with if such a situation should arise Maximum time allowed to do campaigning north of the Tehachapis should not exceed twelve days - minimum time would be six days Outdoor picnics and barbecues could be used to attract large audiences where appropriate

Statement of John V Newman Chairman Statewide Ranchers for Shell Committee
61862
Ranchers for Shell are joining with our friends in the
~armers for Nixon group to work together for the elctien
of Nixon and Chris topher in November
Nixon and Christopher offer the people of california a
trained and experienced management team that will create
a favorable economic cltmate for business labor and agriculshy
ture as well as restore fiscal responsibility to our state
government Pat Brown has already proven that he can
accomplish none of these things
We had a spirited and well fought primary Mr Nixon won
It is that simple 1 am sure that Mr Nixon knows of and
respects the thinking of the many hundreds of thousands of
Californian who voted for Joe Shell Any difference
remaining will be worked out within the framework of the
Republican Party

The Brovm Adoinistrationts record in a~riculture favors one ~~~~~DF HANSEN corunodi t y-o-the political ~)1U1 I propose to replace this S V CHRIS bitter fruit vdth an eigJ1t-point action progr-an that will S~Ii~as T1ERSON benefit both the California faraer and consuner BRUNEL CHRISTENSEN Likely California I s agriculture and its allied Lndus t r Les add (~12 JOHN SPARKMAN billion annually to our states total economic product For Poway every hundred wor-ker-s on the farn there are 263 others who EARL S SMITTCAMP are directly dependent upon a0riculture Clearly what happensClovis to farming is of concern to every Californian Agriculture KEITH REEVE is Californias nw~ber one industry and we all have a majorTracy
stake in its prosperity and Growth WARREN BROCK EI Centro
1 To restore the farmerts confidence in his goverruJent I will replace Drown I s political appointees with nen of quality and experience who are thorou~hly verse~ in the complex probshylems of our states agriculture
Brown has aade three consecutive politically-inspired partisan appoint~ents to the key position of Director of Agriculture
First there was -illia-] T~arne a nan who had spent the previous decade out of the country and who had not been near California farm probLeus sinc e the ilid-30 s Br-own later allowed 1illiam -Tarne to try to kidnap the State Depar-tnerrt of AGriculture and bury it in his bureaucratic laze even t hough the Legislashyture had s)ecifically directed otherwise It was only the united and spontaneous opposition of all farm Groups across the State that blocked this self-serving move
Next cane James Ralph a newcomer- to California who was fired by the national administration for being involved in the Billy Sol istes scandal
And now there is Charles Paul another newcomer who was picked for purely political purposes over the heads of better qualishyfied career Den and faro leaders
2 I wiLl support a Federal n inimurraquo wage for agriculture and fill cppcs e a California manimun HaGe law for farn wor-ker s Such a California statute liould only serve to put California agriculture in a position where it could not possibly coopete with states that are currently payin~ far less for faro labor
- MORE shy
Page 2 - RiUS FOR FARlIERS FOR NIXON - Iiay 24 1962
3 I will work to see that suppleoental supplies of forei~n labor are available when there is a shortage of ~ualified domestic farm labor There are ti~es at the peak of harvest when forei~n labor is necessary to gather in its crops Brov1n has given the silent treat~ent to the need for such supplemental labor even at times when the need for such assistance has been certified to by members of his own cabinet
Br-own and ilembers of his staff have joined with such persons as former U S Assistant Secretary of Labor Jerry Bolleuan in adding harassshying restrictions to the use of suppleoental labor Holleman is another man who was caught wLt h his plan greased by Billy Sol 3stes
There are many fine farra organizations in our state that 1amp ve wor-ked diliGently to insure themselves of an adequate supply of donestic labor I Hill encourage these voluntary Iarri groups in their activishyties in setting up referral offices and in their efforts to use domesshytic labor to the fullest extent
4 I will use my experience in international affairs to find ways to increase our far-n exports Californias agriculture is based on specialshyty crops Only about 1~)1 of our far-m Lncome is from Federal sub s Ldie s There is a very real danger that these unsubsidized crops with little political weight on the national scales could be put on the auction b Lock under the new international trade agreerlents pr-ogr-am Brown has no exper Lenc e in international negotiations iior-eover- he is under pressure fr-ozi his party in Jashington His typical response has again been to call do-nothing me et Ings He need a governor who will stand up and fight for Californias products I Hill use my kn owledge of the international bar-ga in ing table to see that the Ior-e i n mar-ket for our c ornioddt Les is not traded away by State Departoent negotLators
5 I 11ill oppose all Federal atteopts to impose the 160-acre limitashytion on State financed water projects The 160-acre limitation was originally designed to assure equitable ~istricution of Federallyshyowned and Federally-rec12imed land To use it as a political instrushyment for expropriation is noth In but a cynical s cheae BroM1 has t81~ed out of both s ides of his nout h on the 160-acre limitation wh ile his left vJing California Deraocr-at i c Council has handed out the party line to support this outnoded concept
6 I will see that the voices of all coramod i ty groups are fully and equally heard California is the greatest agricultural producing state in the nation This vlealth-creating pouer steus from 11Ore than 200 crops aany ofwhich comprise the bulk of United States production Cotton grower-s dairynen at ocknan fru it and vegetable Iar-ner-s-o-alJ must be able to present their distinct and speci81 probleos to a Governor who will not play favorites
7 One of my first acts as Governor 11ill be to work toirar-ds restoring the State Board of Agriculture to its Icrme r outstanding ~)osition in the nation Dow it is composed of eight menbers of Brov1ns political par-t-y and one traditionally ac adeo i c zppo intnerrt For s orie tine a tacit r-equ i r-ement for appo irrtnerrt to this Board Has membership in the California Denocrat ic Farmers Congr-es s a Janas Ralph partisan innovashytion
8 Finally I will replace indecisions with the strong leadership our State so desperately needs in all agricultural areas

Mr H R Haldeman Campaign Manager Nixon For Governor 3908 Wilshire Boulevard Los Angeles 5 California
Dear Bob
It was real nice to see you last Friday in Los Angeles You asked me to submit some suggestions to you with respect to the summer and fall campaign as regards agriculture
I think it is essential that the fall and summer plans include trips by Mr Nixon through the agricultural areas stopping at some of the small communities in and around the larger cities in the agricultural areas This can be done by bus and would enable us to encourage participation by farmers and those connected with farming in the areas that would be covered Such tours would lend themselves for comshyments and observations on such things as agricultural labor the price of agricultural commodities pictures with local non-political agricultural leaders contacts with ethnical groups as Japanese Armenian Hindu Portuguese and others contacts with editors and publishers of small dailies and weeklies The timing of such trips might be best suited to harvest operations and should be planned in advance to enable contacts to be made with agricultural leaders
Of any liabilities that might arise I can think of only two at the present time - one being that it would tend to take the candidate away from the large metropolitan areas and there may be instances in which organized labor might attempt to emshybarrass the candidate on such a trip I think the latter is a calculated risk that we can deal with if such a situation should arise Maximum time allowed to do campaigning north of the Tehachapis should not exceed twelve days - minimum time would be six days Outdoor picnics and barbecues could be used to attract large audiences where appropriate

Mr H R Haldeman Campaign Manager Nixon For Governor 3908 Wilshire Boulevard Los Angeles 5 California
Dear Bob
It was real nice to see you last Friday in Los Angeles You asked me to submit some suggestions to you with respect to the summer and fall campaign as regards agriculture
I think it is essential that the fall and summer plans include trips by Mr Nixon through the agricultural areas stopping at some of the small communities in and around the larger cities in the agricultural areas This can be done by bus and would enable us to encourage participation by farmers and those connected with farming in the areas that would be covered Such tours would lend themselves for comshyments and observations on such things as agricultural labor the price of agricultural commodities pictures with local non-political agricultural leaders contacts with ethnical groups as Japanese Armenian Hindu Portuguese and others contacts with editors and publishers of small dailies and weeklies The timing of such trips might be best suited to harvest operations and should be planned in advance to enable contacts to be made with agricultural leaders
Of any liabilities that might arise I can think of only two at the present time - one being that it would tend to take the candidate away from the large metropolitan areas and there may be instances in which organized labor might attempt to emshybarrass the candidate on such a trip I think the latter is a calculated risk that we can deal with if such a situation should arise Maximum time allowed to do campaigning north of the Tehachapis should not exceed twelve days - minimum time would be six days Outdoor picnics and barbecues could be used to attract large audiences where appropriate

Mr H R Haldeman Campaign Manager Nixon For Governor 3908 Wilshire Boulevard Los Angeles 5 California
Dear Bob
It was real nice to see you last Friday in Los Angeles You asked me to submit some suggestions to you with respect to the summer and fall campaign as regards agriculture
I think it is essential that the fall and summer plans include trips by Mr Nixon through the agricultural areas stopping at some of the small communities in and around the larger cities in the agricultural areas This can be done by bus and would enable us to encourage participation by farmers and those connected with farming in the areas that would be covered Such tours would lend themselves for comshyments and observations on such things as agricultural labor the price of agricultural commodities pictures with local non-political agricultural leaders contacts with ethnical groups as Japanese Armenian Hindu Portuguese and others contacts with editors and publishers of small dailies and weeklies The timing of such trips might be best suited to harvest operations and should be planned in advance to enable contacts to be made with agricultural leaders
Of any liabilities that might arise I can think of only two at the present time - one being that it would tend to take the candidate away from the large metropolitan areas and there may be instances in which organized labor might attempt to emshybarrass the candidate on such a trip I think the latter is a calculated risk that we can deal with if such a situation should arise Maximum time allowed to do campaigning north of the Tehachapis should not exceed twelve days - minimum time would be six days Outdoor picnics and barbecues could be used to attract large audiences where appropriate

Mr H R Haldeman Campaign Manager Nixon For Governor 3908 Wilshire Boulevard Los Angeles 5 California
Dear Bob
It was real nice to see you last Friday in Los Angeles You asked me to submit some suggestions to you with respect to the summer and fall campaign as regards agriculture
I think it is essential that the fall and summer plans include trips by Mr Nixon through the agricultural areas stopping at some of the small communities in and around the larger cities in the agricultural areas This can be done by bus and would enable us to encourage participation by farmers and those connected with farming in the areas that would be covered Such tours would lend themselves for comshyments and observations on such things as agricultural labor the price of agricultural commodities pictures with local non-political agricultural leaders contacts with ethnical groups as Japanese Armenian Hindu Portuguese and others contacts with editors and publishers of small dailies and weeklies The timing of such trips might be best suited to harvest operations and should be planned in advance to enable contacts to be made with agricultural leaders
Of any liabilities that might arise I can think of only two at the present time - one being that it would tend to take the candidate away from the large metropolitan areas and there may be instances in which organized labor might attempt to emshybarrass the candidate on such a trip I think the latter is a calculated risk that we can deal with if such a situation should arise Maximum time allowed to do campaigning north of the Tehachapis should not exceed twelve days - minimum time would be six days Outdoor picnics and barbecues could be used to attract large audiences where appropriate

Mr H R Haldeman Campaign Manager Nixon For Governor 3908 Wilshire Boulevard Los Angeles 5 California
Dear Bob
It was real nice to see you last Friday in Los Angeles You asked me to submit some suggestions to you with respect to the summer and fall campaign as regards agriculture
I think it is essential that the fall and summer plans include trips by Mr Nixon through the agricultural areas stopping at some of the small communities in and around the larger cities in the agricultural areas This can be done by bus and would enable us to encourage participation by farmers and those connected with farming in the areas that would be covered Such tours would lend themselves for comshyments and observations on such things as agricultural labor the price of agricultural commodities pictures with local non-political agricultural leaders contacts with ethnical groups as Japanese Armenian Hindu Portuguese and others contacts with editors and publishers of small dailies and weeklies The timing of such trips might be best suited to harvest operations and should be planned in advance to enable contacts to be made with agricultural leaders
Of any liabilities that might arise I can think of only two at the present time - one being that it would tend to take the candidate away from the large metropolitan areas and there may be instances in which organized labor might attempt to emshybarrass the candidate on such a trip I think the latter is a calculated risk that we can deal with if such a situation should arise Maximum time allowed to do campaigning north of the Tehachapis should not exceed twelve days - minimum time would be six days Outdoor picnics and barbecues could be used to attract large audiences where appropriate

Ranchers for Shell are joining with our friends in the
~armers for Nixon group to work together for the elctien
of Nixon and Chris topher in November
Nixon and Christopher offer the people of california a
trained and experienced management team that will create
a favorable economic cltmate for business labor and agriculshy
ture as well as restore fiscal responsibility to our state
government Pat Brown has already proven that he can
accomplish none of these things
We had a spirited and well fought primary Mr Nixon won
It is that simple 1 am sure that Mr Nixon knows of and
respects the thinking of the many hundreds of thousands of
Californian who voted for Joe Shell Any difference
remaining will be worked out within the framework of the
Republican Party

Next cane James Ralph a newcomer- to California who was fired by the national administration for being involved in the Billy Sol istes scandal

Mr H R Haldeman Campaign Manager Nixon For Governor 3908 Wilshire Boulevard Los Angeles 5 California
Dear Bob
It was real nice to see you last Friday in Los Angeles You asked me to submit some suggestions to you with respect to the summer and fall campaign as regards agriculture
I think it is essential that the fall and summer plans include trips by Mr Nixon through the agricultural areas stopping at some of the small communities in and around the larger cities in the agricultural areas This can be done by bus and would enable us to encourage participation by farmers and those connected with farming in the areas that would be covered Such tours would lend themselves for comshyments and observations on such things as agricultural labor the price of agricultural commodities pictures with local non-political agricultural leaders contacts with ethnical groups as Japanese Armenian Hindu Portuguese and others contacts with editors and publishers of small dailies and weeklies The timing of such trips might be best suited to harvest operations and should be planned in advance to enable contacts to be made with agricultural leaders
Of any liabilities that might arise I can think of only two at the present time - one being that it would tend to take the candidate away from the large metropolitan areas and there may be instances in which organized labor might attempt to emshybarrass the candidate on such a trip I think the latter is a calculated risk that we can deal with if such a situation should arise Maximum time allowed to do campaigning north of the Tehachapis should not exceed twelve days - minimum time would be six days Outdoor picnics and barbecues could be used to attract large audiences where appropriate

3 I will work to see that suppleoental supplies of forei~n labor are available when there is a shortage of ~ualified domestic farm labor There are ti~es at the peak of harvest when forei~n labor is necessary to gather in its crops Brov1n has given the silent treat~ent to the need for such supplemental labor even at times when the need for such assistance has been certified to by members of his own cabinet
Br-own and ilembers of his staff have joined with such persons as former U S Assistant Secretary of Labor Jerry Bolleuan in adding harassshying restrictions to the use of suppleoental labor Holleman is another man who was caught wLt h his plan greased by Billy Sol 3stes
There are many fine farra organizations in our state that 1amp ve wor-ked diliGently to insure themselves of an adequate supply of donestic labor I Hill encourage these voluntary Iarri groups in their activishyties in setting up referral offices and in their efforts to use domesshytic labor to the fullest extent
4 I will use my experience in international affairs to find ways to increase our far-n exports Californias agriculture is based on specialshyty crops Only about 1~)1 of our far-m Lncome is from Federal sub s Ldie s There is a very real danger that these unsubsidized crops with little political weight on the national scales could be put on the auction b Lock under the new international trade agreerlents pr-ogr-am Brown has no exper Lenc e in international negotiations iior-eover- he is under pressure fr-ozi his party in Jashington His typical response has again been to call do-nothing me et Ings He need a governor who will stand up and fight for Californias products I Hill use my kn owledge of the international bar-ga in ing table to see that the Ior-e i n mar-ket for our c ornioddt Les is not traded away by State Departoent negotLators
5 I 11ill oppose all Federal atteopts to impose the 160-acre limitashytion on State financed water projects The 160-acre limitation was originally designed to assure equitable ~istricution of Federallyshyowned and Federally-rec12imed land To use it as a political instrushyment for expropriation is noth In but a cynical s cheae BroM1 has t81~ed out of both s ides of his nout h on the 160-acre limitation wh ile his left vJing California Deraocr-at i c Council has handed out the party line to support this outnoded concept
6 I will see that the voices of all coramod i ty groups are fully and equally heard California is the greatest agricultural producing state in the nation This vlealth-creating pouer steus from 11Ore than 200 crops aany ofwhich comprise the bulk of United States production Cotton grower-s dairynen at ocknan fru it and vegetable Iar-ner-s-o-alJ must be able to present their distinct and speci81 probleos to a Governor who will not play favorites
7 One of my first acts as Governor 11ill be to work toirar-ds restoring the State Board of Agriculture to its Icrme r outstanding ~)osition in the nation Dow it is composed of eight menbers of Brov1ns political par-t-y and one traditionally ac adeo i c zppo intnerrt For s orie tine a tacit r-equ i r-ement for appo irrtnerrt to this Board Has membership in the California Denocrat ic Farmers Congr-es s a Janas Ralph partisan innovashytion
8 Finally I will replace indecisions with the strong leadership our State so desperately needs in all agricultural areas
