they must see one o!
to be forgotten night. And now
: the next Governor. 80"
Mr.. Nixon enters the studio
greeted by a loud burst of APP
plause from the invited au-
dience of $50. He sits at 9
desk.
Behind him are a battery OF
citizens and party leaders, an
swering incoming calls. They
jot the questions on slips OF
paper which are carried by
messenger girls to off-camera
aides, who sort them and pass
selected ones on to the cele-
brities who ask them on the
air.
This is your program" Mr.
Nixon tells the viewers. mo
question can be embarrassing
There are absolutely no notes
used and there is no tele-
prompter in the studio. You
will be hearing my reaction to
your question"
Victor Jory, the actor, has
the first one. 1t is on Cuba
Mr.. Nixon reiterates his sup
port of President Kennedy''
action and predicts Soviet Pre-
mier Khrushchev sis not going
to press the situation in Cuba
so that he will risk war. It
has always been my experience
with dictators, especially Com
munist dictators, that where
you take firm, strong action, 1t
reduces the risk of war, rather
than increases"
what President Kennedy
said today" Mr.. Jory volun-
teers, sis almost exactly what
you said three weeks ago.
This should be a very sad day
for Gov. Brown, who thinks
that Communists are not a
threat either abroad or in Cali
fornia. 1t proves how wrong
a man can be-"
Change of Pace
The next question is a
change-of-pace to a strictly
local issue: will you see to
it as Governor that the En-
barcadero Freeway is torn
DOWN."
It breaks the tension, anc
there is a laugh, in which Mr.
Nixon joins. Then he turns
serious and promises to make
the highway commission more
responsive" to local needs.
Next question: us there any
end to taxation?"
st would like to tell hin
there is" Mr.. Nixon says, "but
there is not. There is a very
clear choice, however. A vote
for my opponent is a vote tt
raise taxes. I, on the Other
hand, pledge there will not bt
a tax rise in four years"
Next question. MIR. Jory, who
has had the questions in hi
hand for some time, appears
perplexed, then angry. The ole
actor fights to control hi
emotion.
JOry Intercedes
Now you see," he exclaimS
there is the same damned ques'
ton 1 asked you not to answer
in Sacramento, and choose tt
answer it again myself. Lister
to this: Gov. Brown said weel
ago in San Francisco that Dicl
Nixon had said there would b
no more handouts to the aged
the blind, the lame or the needy
if he was elected
Now Dick Nixon never made
such a statement. He did say
he would get the chiselers of.
the welfare rolls. Gov. Brown
and whatever strange men art
behind him-the CDC or thu
ADA, I don't know-have ad'
viSed him to make statements
of this kind. There is no truth
in them whatsoever.
TITS a foul smear campaign
When Gov. Brown lowers him.
self to make such a statement
he is a contemplate liar and 6
100 per cent liar" There is louc
applause. Mr.. Nixon puts {
calming hand on Mr.. Jory'!

Candidate Explains
In a quiet voice he says. lie
