R. HAlDEMAN Statewide Campaign Manager, FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Nixon for Governor Committee October 18, 1962 The piece of literature entitled, "Pat Brown and the CDC" was drafted by the campaign organization and not by Murray Chotiner. It is significant that neither Mr. Wyman nor Governor Brown denies the statements attributed to 1he CDC and to Mr. Brown. Furthermore, they do not deny that Brown did nothing when the resolutions were adopted and in fact, did not repudiate any of them until recently when he was in the midst of a re-election campaign. Neither one denies that Mr. Brown as goverQor brushed off a voter when an inquiry was made about Brown's stand with the CDC. Instead, they seek to weasel out of their uncomfortable position by complaining about pictures. The truth is they are pictures of Governor Brown and were used only as illustrative of the actual statements made by him. If Mr. Brown and his hatchetman, Mr. Wyman, have any complaint, let them fight it out with the CDC. As far as the Prussion booklet, "California Dynasty of Communism," is concerned, both Brown and Wyman know that the Nixon campaign had absolutely nothing to do with it. It was repudiated immediately and the chairman of the Republican County Central Committee ordered it removed from all Republican headquarters if any were there. It should be noted that Mr. Prussion is reported in the press as having stated that the Republicans never gave him an order for his booklet but the CDC purchased 1,000 copies. Furthermore, Mr. Brown's quarrel concerning the Prussion booklet is with Mr. Prussion, not with us. Mr. Prussion has invited legal action by anyone named in his booklet. If Mr. Brown has any dispute with Mr. Prussion, he knows what to do. -30 10/l8/62 " " Statement by MURRAY CHOTINER FOR IMMEDIATE RElEASE About the only thing that is accurate in Mr. Wyman's frantic efforts in this campaign is his statement that "This will be the dirtiest campaign in California history." He is determined to carry out his prediction by holding a series of press conferences where he hurls wild and ::1,;cckless distortions of the truth. -30 10/18/62 October 18 t 1962 Statement by Bob Haldeman "The piece of literature entitled t Pat Brown and the CDC t was drafted by the campaign organization and not by Murray Chotiner.
