Len Halls legacy to H.
Meade Alcorn, jr., who tomor-
row takes over as Republican
National Chairman, is an able,
hardworking, specialized ma
tional committee headquar-
tiers staff. It's an important
legacy-a staff Of trained peo-
pie, men and women, who
know pretty much all there is
to know about running q sue
cessful campaign. Important
among them is L. Richard
Guylay-"Lou" to thousands
Of Republican leaders all over
the country and to the hun
dreds of newspaper reporters
and editors who write about
politics - director of publicity
for the committee since April
4. 1855. For press relations
and publicity go far to make
or mar a national political
chairman and to win or lose
a campaign - depending en-
tirely on whether these rela-
lions and publicity are good
or bad.
For a year and a half Lou
Guylay was Len Halls right
hand man in developing and
running the G. o. P. campaign,
a consultant, adviser and in
stigator. And after the cleo
ton November 6, Guylay was
drafted by the Inaugural Com
mittee to handle its press re-
lations and publicity-a full
time Job in itself. but which
he handled while still continu-
ing his work for the national
com mittee. Vice President
Nixon sent him a letter after
the election expressing deep
admiration for the job he had
done, and it's no secret that
Nixon considers Guylay is the
best public relations director
the G. o. P. has ever had. And
,Guylay's work has been highly
commended at the White
House.
Has Huge Task
Take a look at the huge task
which the publicity director of
the Republican National Com
mittee had to carry through.
He was responsible for literally
thousands of releases" put out
to the press in the name of
Chairman Hall and other high
ranking leaders of the party.
He was responsible. too. for
millions of leaflets. reprints of
documents, pamphlets and
regular and special news or
gans distributed by the ma
tional committee during the
course of the campaign.
1t was his job, also, under
the direction of Chairman
Hall, to work out television
and radio time for President
Eisenhower, Vice President
Nixon. Republican speakers
and the national committee

rangements to buy this time
