He said he had been accused
OF being anti Negro, anti
semitic, anti-Catholic; that his
Toes were trying to brighten
needy aged and blind into
thinking their pensions will be

workers will lose their jobs.
Absolutely false" he said.
introduced by Actor Dick
Powell, Mr.. Nixon denied he
sought the governorship with
the White House in mind. He
pledged again he would not

=. The former Vice President
denied once more that he had
anything to do with the $685.
600 loan by a defense con-
tractor, Hughes Tool Co., to
his brother and mother six
years ago.
Mr.. Nixon said Gov. Brown
acted like a whipped dog"
when he challenged the Gov
ernor, at a face-to-face NETT
ing before and editors meeting
last month. to put up or shut
up on the Hughes loan.
But Mr.. Nixon said that
three days later Gov. Brown
stirred up the issue again
through press agents, "by the
newspaper fraternity, by those
he controlled or thought he
controlled by -favors he had
done for them"
No Evidence, Brown Says
Gov. Brown said during the
campaign that he would not
charge his opponent with mis-
conduct unless he had the evil
dence. and II have no such
evidence"
In his reply to the Nixonl
broadcast, Gov. Brown said
"the tone of the whole per-
Torrance was set by the allie
cation that I controlled mem
bers of the newspaper frater-
nifty through favors." He
added:
mfr. Nixon apparently feels
that anybody who dares to
question his activities or mo-

OF the press, is treating him
unfairly. He just does not I'M
derstand the responsibility of a
public official to answer the
honest questions of news {
papermen."
The Governor said that Gin !
the whole half hour he (Mr.
Nixon didn't say anything new
or informative or helpful to
the people of California. Then, ]

have no intention of letting
Mr.. Nixon use this State to
further what again and again
he reveals as his ultimate am
bition :. the presidency"
Nixon Recalls 1852 /;
After making his unsmiling
address, Mr.. Nixon told re-
porters that it was his first {
television speech devoted to t
smears" since his 1852 speech
on what Mr.. Nixon termed "the Z
financial ISSUE" S
He was referring to his emo ]
tional speech in 1852 when he
denied wrongdoing in using an {
$4,000 expense fund set up by {
wealthy political hackers. Mr.. ]
Nixon, then a Senator running !
for Vice President on the I
G. o. P. ticket with Dwight D. (
Eisenhower, told a Nationwide !
television audience that the !
only gift he received from sup
porters was a cocker spaniel
named Checkers.
Unlike that speech 10 years
ago, Mr.. Nixon, now 40, did
not have the same emotional
intensity last night. He ap- !
peared somber and restrained
during the telecast, but seemed
more cheerful when he talked !.

= Like his Democratic oppo- ,
s1ient, Mr.. Nixon made a ,
''blooper" in the final day. j
During his speech, Mr.. Nixon !
said: "If elected Governor of ,
the United j.. 81. ;" then he cor !
rected himself to say: "Of CAL :

=, Gov. Brown himself in a rally !,
yesterday called on supporters !
to elect good Democratic Sem !

q. Before Mr.. Nixon's speech
last night, there had been spec
