Dear Henry:

I have not written to you for a while but I have been
following your good work and your very precious and needed
advice to our beloved President. You are a great man and may
God keep you and guide you a lways.

Last week-end I had the pleasure of having at my house as
my guest Dr. Ashraf Ghorbal(Minister of the United Arab Republic)
Dr Ghorbal is a personal friend of mine and of my family and
during our discussions and the foreign policy of our government
Dr. Ghorbal asked me to thank you for being very kind and
gracious at your many meetings with him.

I am enclosing a copy of a documentary that our Archdiocese
through Very Rev.Father George R. George was broadcasted on
station WEEI; I beleive that you might like to read it.

Kindly let me know if I could be of service to you .

A-Reply to WEEI's Editorial on "Anti-Semitism" Broadcast February 4, 1970 (AC)

This Reply was broadcast by Very Rev. Fr. George R. George on WEEI on Wednesday April 1, 1970 at 8:30 A:M., 12:15 P:M., 3:15P:M., 6:35P:M: and 9:05P:M:.

Text follows:

The violent takeover of the Semitic Arab country of Palestine and of the homes and lands of Semitic Arab Christians and Moslems by non-Semitic Jews in order to establish the Jewish State of Israel was anti-Semitism on the part of Western Jews.

The continual refusal for 21 years of the zionist State of Israel to repatriate and compensate the Semitic Christians and Moslems for the loss of their homes and land, in accordance with repeated UN Resolutions, is a continuation of anti-Semitism by Israel.

The violent expansion of Israel at the expense of the Semitic Arab countries of Jordan, Syria and Egypt, is anti-Semitism through military aggression.

Because of its violent birth and growth---at the expense of the civic, legal and moral rights of Christians and Moslems---the Jewish State of Israel has provided substance for anti-Jewish attitudes in the West and has brought about anti-Jewish attitudes in the Arabic speaking countries of Asia and Africa, nations which historically have been without this prejudice.

The defaming of the Semitic Arab people in the American press, radio and television by zionist Jews is anti-Semitism by people who ironically enough support an anti-defamation league and who from their own experience know the injustice and cruelty of defamation.

The accusing of American citizens who disagree with zionist "facts" and conclusions of being anti-Semitic, falsely attacks the individual in order to avoid the issue, and this undemocratic and unethical ruse actually contributes to anti-Semitism.

Thus, it is not surprising that Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant leaders criticized the premature release of a classified working document on Catholic-Jewish relations and its unwise reference to the political state of Israel, as promoting Catholic-zionist relations rather than Catholic-Jewish relations and as creating misunderstanding among non-zionist Jews, Christians and Moslems. WEEI erred when it referred to this working draft as "doctrine" since it was only an initial report by a committee, and this subject to substantial alteration by the committee, by the Secretariat for Christian Unity and by the Vatican before approval. WEEI's error became serious when the committee itself deleted the controversial reference to the State of Israel. The position of the Catholic Church has always been and still is non-recognition of the zionist State of Israel.

Two wrongs do not make a right. Anti-gentilism is as bad as anti-Semitism. The challenge is to eradicate all forms of prejudice; and to especially remember that none of us can cast the first stone.

Dear Henry:

I have refrained from bothering you, knowing fully the tremendous responsibilities you bear, and frankly because I, too, have been embroiled in a welter of things, but I would like very much the privilege of talking with you some time in the not-too-distant future.

My thoughts on present developments in Europe or the Middle East may not add anything new to your own thinking or that of your staff, but I value our past friendship and I would like to be in a position to share some of your current ideas. Besides, a conversation we might have would at least provide some relief for you from the prevailing difficulties in Indo-China.

From May 16th to June 8th, I will be in Europe, and I am probably right in thinking that you are too busy to see me before my departure. However, I would particularly like to talk with you after I come back. I have to be in Washington over June 17th and 18th, principally to give a lecture at the National War College on the morning of the 18th. Is there any chance of our getting together during those two days? Or, if not, is there another time after June 8th when you might be free to see me? -- I would be glad to come down to Washington just for this purpose. Please do let me know if you can find the time.

PERSONAL

Mr. John D. Ehrlichman
The White House
Washington, D. C.

Dear John:

Please let me make it clear at the very outset that I am writing to you on the basis of our personal acquaintance and, therefore, not on behalf of Cornell University, but simply on my own. My purpose in writing is not to advance the cause of my own institution, nor to lodge a complaint, but to share with you in what I hope is a constructive and helpful manner what I perceive to be an increasingly serious problem.

The problem consists of the current rhetoric of the Vice President of the United States concerning student unrest. In no partisan sense whatsoever, but as an informed and deeply concerned individual caught right in the middle of these problems, I sincerely believe that the Vice President, by his current speeches, is aggravating the problems of student unrest; is adding to, and not easing, the problems of higher education in this country; and in doing so, is doing a signal disservice to the Administration.

The behavior of militant minorities on campuses today is frightful. The problems of university administration in dealing with nighttime arson, hit and run attempts to blow up or set buildings afire, and unruly student mobs engaging in physical confrontations with campus and police authorities, is desperate. I would be perhaps the very last person in the world to claim that the universities have been doing everything right. We are making slow progress in dealing more effectively with unprecedented problems, but the problems keep escalating more quickly than our more effective responses. We deserve constructive criticism; we welcome informed counsel; we need toughness and sagacity in trying to keep our house in order.

Having said that, it is equally true that simple repression and the automatic use of force is not the answer. When police discipline is called for, we must be prepared to use it to the full, but we can never do so lightly. Above all, everyone -- including the general public -- must understand that our

Mr. John D. Ehrlichman - PERSONAL

problems are not simple and that what we face is a manifestation on campuses
of the same tactics of terror and disruption that also trouble the larger commu-
nity. Statements by public officials on the subject should be carefully considered
and should speak to the truth of a bad situation without further inflaming passions,
raising fears, or encouraging anger -- passion, fear, and anger already compli-
cate the problem far too much.

The Vice President of the United States now appears to be taking the position that university administrations and faculties are almost solely responsible for the troubles on campuses, and that by simply behaving more vigorously, they could eliminate the problems. This is not so. To say so is irresponsible. For the Vice President of the United States to say so is intolerable. It is beginning to cause serious damage to all of American higher education. I do not believe that it is good politics, particularly when some of the Vice President's statements can be proven to be false; obvious untruth is very seldom good politics on a sustained basis.

I am attaching some material on an erroneous reference to Cornell University made by the Vice President the day before yesterday, not because I believe this particular reference is or should be of any interest to you per se, but because it illustrates the evident lack of care in the preparation of the Vice President's remarks. Obviously, this incident does my University great harm. But, obviously, it also calls into question the credibility of the Vice President of the United States.

John, I am trying to be a good citizen in difficult times. I have great respect
for the public offices of this country. I know the burdens faced by the men who
occupy these offices. I know that the Vice President is his own man and has
his own staff, and I do not assume that he speaks for the President or for the
Administration on every occasion. Nevertheless, I am now convinced that he
is doing great harm; that his present public approach to the problems of student
unrest and of higher education is destructive and not in the national interest;
and that the President and those advising him cannot afford to be unconcerned
with this phenomenon.

I may be trespassing on a personal relationship in writing you this letter. You
know that I have not done so in the time since you assumed your present responsi-
bilities. I do so now because of the gravity of the problem. I wrote to you on the
occasion of your appointment, in part to tell you that I was prepared to be helpful
if the occasion arose. You have, of course, not asked for my assistance or
comments on this particular problem, but I believe it to be a necessary and

Page 3

April 30, 1970

constructive act of personal friendship to advise you that the silent and moderate
majority of those of us in American higher education are dismayed by the irre-
sponsibility of the Vice President of the United States, believe that his present
public utterances run counter to the national interest in higher education, and
believe that the White House cannot avoid responsibility.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (4p.m. Wednesday; April 29, 1970)

ITHACA, N.Y. -- An erroneous reference by Vice President Spiro T. Agnew in a speech at Hollywood, Fla., Tuesday night to a chain beating of a dormitory president "at Cornell University" touched off a series of telegrams today between Cornell and Agnew's office Wednesday.

The incident mentioned was subsequently claimed by the Vice President's office to have occurred at the University of Connecticut, not Cornell.

Here are the texts of the messages, in chronological order:

DAY LETTER TELEGRAM TO VICE PRESIDENT SPIRO T. AGNEW, EXECUTIVE OFFICE BUILDING, WASHINGTON, D.C.

"I am informed that in a speech in Florida last night concerning student disorders you stated that 'Within their ranks are the students who last week hurled stones at the home of the President of Penn State University, the students responsible for the arson at the University of Kansas, the score of students at Cornell who, wielding pipes and tire chains, beat a dormitory president into unconsciousness.' I have verified the words in your statement with your Press Secretary, Mr. Herbert Thompson. No such incident has ever occurred at Cornell University. No incident even remotely fitting this statement has ever occurred at Cornell University.

"It is incredible that the Vice President of the United States should make such a public statement for which there is no basis in fact. The damage you do through such irresponsible and widely publicized statements is irreparable. May I ask how you propose to make such amends as it is possible to make?

"I shall look forward to your personal reply as well as to your public clarification of the record."

DALE R. CORSON
President

STATEMENT FROM THE OFFICE OF THE VICE PRESIDENT IN REPLY TO PRESIDENT
OF CORNELL UNIVERSITY, APRIL 29, 1970

"The beating of a dormitory president by students wielding tire irons and chains occurred this month at the University of Connecticut rather than Cornell. It was at Cornell University this month that the African Studies and Research Center was destroyed by fire, probably arson, that small groups of students vandalized the bookstore, that University authorities had to obtain restraining orders to prohibit violence, that these orders were tested by SDS and the Black Liberation Front with no action taken against them.

"It was at Cornell University this month where numerous bomb threats were received by campus authorities, where a Molotov cocktail was thrown through a window of the University library and where Molotov cocktails were discovered in other buildings. The Vice President regrets that he misplaced the location of the beating of the dormitory president at Cornell rather than at Connecticut."

HERBERT L. THOMPSON
Press Secretary to the Vice President

STATEMENT BY PRESIDENT CORSON:

"The public statement issued on behalf of the Vice President of the United States by his press secretary, Herbert L. Thompson, explaining the inaccuracy of Mr. Agnew's reference to Cornell University in a speech yesterday, regrettably adds further inaccuracies. It is true that Cornell University recently had the assistance of a temporary restraining order from the Supreme Court of the State of New York. It is <u>not</u> true that the restraining order was tested by violent action on the part of SDS and the Black Liberation Front with no action taken against them.

"The court restraining order effectively served its purpose at the University. It was not tested by violent action on the part of SDS, the Black Liberation Front, or anybody else. Had such a testing occurred, those involved would have been charged with contempt of court. Mr. Thompson's statement displays both inaccuracy and disrespect for the judicial process. I look forward to the personal effort of the Vice President of the United States both to establish the facts on which he bases his public remarks and to set the record straight.

Dear Henry:

I am writing to ask whether you might find time to
talk with me sometime this summer. I know that you are
in California right now, but I am hopeful that we might
be able to work something out after your return to
Washington.

There are a couple of points I would like to pick
up from our last conversation at the Mankiewicz dinner,
but my principal purpose in trying to see you is in
connection with the *Oxford-Pugwash* meeting I am tenta-
tively scheduled to attend, although I am not yet absolutely
certain I will go. I would be interested in having your
views with respect to future developments in European
security, and of course I would be particularly interested
in any view you might have as to possibly useful points
for me to make in discussions of this problem at Pugwash.

Except for a day here or there my schedule is not
too bad during the weeks of July 31, August 7, and August 14.
If you have time on Monday, August 7, I will be in Washington
then and have some free time in the afternoon. On Thursday,
August 10, I have a lunch date with Mac Mathias and could
very easily come to see you either before lunch that morning
or that afternoon. It would be very good to see you, and
I hope we can work it out.

MEMORANDUM FOR DR. KISSINGER

FROM: PETER M. FLANIGAN

I lunched with Charlie Murphy, the magazine writer on strategic matters. He tells me he is preparing a book entitled "The Rise and Fall of America's Strategic Power". The book is to document the growth of our strategic power under Eisenhower and its subsequent decline through Kennedy and Johnson.

Apparently he is asking Benny Schriever and others who are familiar with the details to write various chapters. The book is to be ready for publication in the Spring of 1972. George Murphy is apparently helping to raise the money to finance the book.

If you find anything objectionable in his plan, it may be we could deflect Murphy at this time.

I had a talk the other day with Charles J. V. Murphy of Readers' Digest who tells me he has been trying to reach you on the telephone without success.

As you probably remember, Charlie used to be with Fortune and has in the past done some very sound pieces on national security policy. He is now working on a piece for the Digest. He's a good guy, a good friend of ours, and needless to say, the Digest is on our side. Consider me a lobbyist for Murphy's cause.

DOROTHY MANNERS

Kissinger Has No ‘Spirit’

Zsa Zsa Gabor invited presidential advisor Dr. Henry Kissinger to the opening of her "Blithe Spirit" at the Huntington Hartford Theatre. He couldn't make it.

"But, Dollink, I never thought he'd get the invitation," squeals the Blithe one. "I had written to President Nixon, a friend, thanking him for the autographed picture he sent me of himself and his family. And I just added a little note, kidding, saying I'd love to have Dr. Kissinger at my opening. Who would think a man as busy as the President would have remembered to pass along the message?

"When I came home the other night the butler said, 'Madame, a Mr. Kissinger called from Washington to say he received your invitation but is most sorry he cannot attend. He wishes you every success.' Isn't that cute?"

An exhausted Robert Mitchum is back in town after the longest location stint of his career. Bob's been shooting David Lean's MGM picture, "Ryan's Daughter," since February — most of it in Ireland.

"Don't ask me what I'm going to do next," sighs Bob. "I'm doing absolutely nothing for a long time. My bones ache."

However, they didn't ache enough to stop Bob and wife Dorothy from dropping by Paris on their way home to inspect some prize French colts in connection with their sideline as breeders of thoroughbred horses. "The best thing to do about horses is to stay away from them," admits the weary Mitchum. "But I'm hooked."

Several "surprises" coming up on TV shows. So I'll spoil 'em:

In the script of the Carol Burnett Show (beaming Monday) Bing Crosby is spotted dining in the Brown Derby, supposedly waiting for Rock Hudson to join him as a dinner partner. So, who actually shows up? You guessed it—Bob Hope.

And when Burt Bacharach emcees an up coming "Hollywood Palace" program a "surprise guest star" is billed, this time a real surprise. It's the world's ridingest jockey, Willie Shoemaker, who turns loose in some hot song and dance routines. Considering that Willie suffered a broken leg about a year ago, this should be something special.

The movie makers of westerns are saddened by the death

of "Pie," the 32-year-old quarter horse who has appeared in over 200 movies in his lifetime. Jimmy Stewart rode "Pie" in every western he's made since "Winchester 73," 20 years ago, and up to the one just completed with Henry Fonda, "Cheyenne Social Club."

The horse's owner, Mrs. Stevie Myers, of Lake Buteras, Calif., says, "No matter who else wanted Pie, Mr. Stewart had first call on him. Pie loved Jimmy." And vice versa.

Mannerisms: French Jeanne Moreau, who made a hit here making "Monte Walsh" with Lee Marvin, has cancelled further movie bids until after she vacations in Morocco with her son Jerome Richards. Jerome is the assistant director on Claude Berri's new picture, "Le Pistonne."

If Michele Lee wants it, she can have the role of the tramp in the new musical version of "Elmer Gantry" on Broadway. It's the part that won Shirley Jones an Oscar in the movie with Burt Lancaster.

Brian Aherne, in town to plug his reminiscences, "A Proper Job," says he's now taking on a novel. "And I intend there shall be a screen role in it for me. I'm a stockholder in MCA—and Universal can use a good movie—and good movie actor."
