Subject Results of Survey on Browns Telethon -- 10862

Distribution Herb Klein file

Time of broadcast 700 PM to 830 PM

Time of survey calls 700 PM to 815 PM

Number of calls 453

Of this total number called 119 were not watching television and 334 were watching tv

Of the 334 watching television only 58 were watching Channel 47 -shythe chann~l on which Browns telecast was carried

During the survey of the Nixon telethon in Fresno on 10562 there were 343 calls made during a one-hour period and 33 13 percent of the viewers were tuned in to RN as opposed to 17 percent tuned in for Brown on Monday night

The ratings were 19 for RN and 13 for Brown

The seeming discrepancy here may be accounted for in part by the fact that there were a higher number of sets in use during the time Browns telethon was on the air although a lower pershycentage of the sets which were in use were tuned in to Brown than were tuned in to Nixon

TO BOB HALDEMAN

cc CHARLIE FARRINGTON

SUBJECT PURCHASE ORDER FOR 7 WIN WITH NIXON TELETHONS

It is imperative that Hixson amp Jorgensen be provided with a properly signed authorization to proceed with all the necessary commitments to successfully bring about our telethons

An estimate of the principal items is attached with some detail bull including radio simulcasts and the services of the producer The amount of this estimate is $8832600

There are a great many items which cannot be properly estimated at this time due to the need for fipal decisions and determinations One of the main items will be newspaper advertising for the telethons Our recap shows space for one ad at $716500bull If we run two ads which I believe would be a minimum this would be an additional $716500 bullbullbull and assuming the ad is different in nature there might well be an additional $300000 for production due to the many changes in the ad to meet all local conditions of time station etc

We must also provide for a Master of Ceremonies and his travel and expenses the printing of tickets badges and question forms the purchase of pencils and pens for telephone operators travel expenses for Jack Rourke and travel expenses for one person from our agency plus an infinite number of conshytingencies which can occur in these distant cities which may be entirely beyond our knowledge or control at this moment Our agency cannot undershytake and be held responsible for such an important all-out effort without the assurance that adequate funds will be provided and it is my considered opinion that the Financial Committee mu~t be prepared to face a possible additional expenditure of at least $25000 I respectfully submit that the agency has the right to ask for this assurance

Will you therefore ask that a purchase order be prepared in the amount of $11332600 and that we would appreciate having this matter resolved at the earliest possible moment since we have already made commitments to the stations the producer printers etc and are at this moment expending our own funds

2) The identification signs for the telephone operators were way too small

3) At the time the show went on the air Lloyd Nolan was wandering around totally lost not knowing where to sit or what to do

4) We need much betteJ crowd control There were all sorts of extraneous-people wandering allover the stage including - I am sure - whatever Brown spies were abullbulligned to cover this

5) We need more let decoration They apparently only had two of the miniature 24-sheets There lhould be more of this material available and the production crew should carry a reserve supply

6) We discused during the program the audience noise level problem This should be carefully looked into ahead of air tim e

7) Regarding Rex Mays everyone agreed he did a but there are a couple of mtnor suggestions

superb job

1) I think he could put more his opening

fire and enthusiasm into

2) I think he could speed up hi rate of delivery on the half-hourly wrap-ups which would make this much more effective

8) There was fund-railing pitch at the opening of the show another one 20 minutes into the show and another one at the end of the first 30 minutes I think this ia too cloa together --shy they should be about every half hour bull

bull A ~tI

- 3 shy

9) It seemed to me that Payne was qn too long the first half hour I think a change of _ce of interrogators 18 especially important in the early part of the show to get the show off to a good fast start Thi is no critici of Payne bull but merely of the timing

10) I think it WAS a mistake to let McCarthy on to make a speech and as agreedmiddot I dont believe he should be on the air except in San rranctsco which is bis area

11) The Philippino translation is good but if we repeat this type of thing I think it should be as it was this time - shyin the latter part of the show -- because it does slow the pace down tremendously I also think there was a little too much of it

12) IN was concerned about the fact he was trapped into a visit with the studio audience - which he avoided by going to the operators instead also by being forced to ask the quetions himself at the beginning and at other tiJDe during the show It was his understanding and we had agreed with Roarke before show time that neither of thee things should be done This should be clearly settled between Roarke and IN prior to the next Telethon

Dick Powell is not able to be the emcee nor does he fl he will be able to appear on the Telethons

Actually we were not c01l8idering h1lll for ttmeee but rather a the chief star aDd- procurer of other stara

The man we were c01l8ideriDa waa Bill Leyden with Jack LtDkletter as the other posibility Neither one will be able to take on the aaslgament

We have therefore decided to get a top professional aDDOUDcer with gooltl emcee ability on a paid basta to uae aa our back-up emcee for all the Telethons We vill thus be asured of alway bav1Da omeone available who vill be haDdl1Dg things our way

After careful auditions and screening t the man selected for this aslgament 18 llex Maze from San Diego who is dedicated to you extremely competent aDd 1 think will do an axcellnt job Be will be in the office early this next week and 1 hope you will have an opportunity to meet him

We will of course plan to have several top stars on each Telethon and they will perform some of the emcee chorea However 1 am 8ure you will recognize the need for our having our own man on hand at all times

At a telethon meeting laat wk it was generally agreed that if

we could g Bill Le~ to b emcee it would be the best thing for us tAs you know I had eliscussed thi with Leyden without comm1tment some

time ago

I poke to Bill Leyden again lut night and told him that we want

him and that hi manager Arnie Mills (OL 1middot~OZ4~ would hear from 8ome-

one in the Nixon campaign very soon

Both Mills and Leyden are ympathetic to our caue and my honest

op1ntcm i they will do everyihing poslble 0 arrange this However

since Leyden taS a cOllt1act employ of NBC netwolk must clear hi

participation in tho campaign and We he might be able to do ome I

dont know if he could do all 01 our telethona

In any ca 1 think Leyan is a plus for ua and every effort ahould

be made to get him for as many telethon I possible

Subject Results of Survey on Browns Telethon -- 10862

Distribution Herb Klein file

Time of broadcast 700 PM to 830 PM

Time of survey calls 700 PM to 815 PM

Number of calls 453

Of this total number called 119 were not watching television and 334 were watching tv

Of the 334 watching television only 58 were watching Channel 47 -shythe chann~l on which Browns telecast was carried

During the survey of the Nixon telethon in Fresno on 10562 there were 343 calls made during a one-hour period and 33 13 percent of the viewers were tuned in to RN as opposed to 17 percent tuned in for Brown on Monday night

The ratings were 19 for RN and 13 for Brown

The seeming discrepancy here may be accounted for in part by the fact that there were a higher number of sets in use during the time Browns telethon was on the air although a lower pershycentage of the sets which were in use were tuned in to Brown than were tuned in to Nixon

SUBJECT PURCHASE ORDER FOR 7 WIN WITH NIXON TELETHONS

It is imperative that Hixson amp Jorgensen be provided with a properly signed authorization to proceed with all the necessary commitments to successfully bring about our telethons

An estimate of the principal items is attached with some detail bull including radio simulcasts and the services of the producer The amount of this estimate is $8832600

There are a great many items which cannot be properly estimated at this time due to the need for fipal decisions and determinations One of the main items will be newspaper advertising for the telethons Our recap shows space for one ad at $716500bull If we run two ads which I believe would be a minimum this would be an additional $716500 bullbullbull and assuming the ad is different in nature there might well be an additional $300000 for production due to the many changes in the ad to meet all local conditions of time station etc

We must also provide for a Master of Ceremonies and his travel and expenses the printing of tickets badges and question forms the purchase of pencils and pens for telephone operators travel expenses for Jack Rourke and travel expenses for one person from our agency plus an infinite number of conshytingencies which can occur in these distant cities which may be entirely beyond our knowledge or control at this moment Our agency cannot undershytake and be held responsible for such an important all-out effort without the assurance that adequate funds will be provided and it is my considered opinion that the Financial Committee mu~t be prepared to face a possible additional expenditure of at least $25000 I respectfully submit that the agency has the right to ask for this assurance

Will you therefore ask that a purchase order be prepared in the amount of $11332600 and that we would appreciate having this matter resolved at the earliest possible moment since we have already made commitments to the stations the producer printers etc and are at this moment expending our own funds

2) The identification signs for the telephone operators were way too small

3) At the time the show went on the air Lloyd Nolan was wandering around totally lost not knowing where to sit or what to do

4) We need much betteJ crowd control There were all sorts of extraneous-people wandering allover the stage including - I am sure - whatever Brown spies were abullbulligned to cover this

5) We need more let decoration They apparently only had two of the miniature 24-sheets There lhould be more of this material available and the production crew should carry a reserve supply

6) We discused during the program the audience noise level problem This should be carefully looked into ahead of air tim e

7) Regarding Rex Mays everyone agreed he did a but there are a couple of mtnor suggestions

superb job

1) I think he could put more his opening

fire and enthusiasm into

2) I think he could speed up hi rate of delivery on the half-hourly wrap-ups which would make this much more effective

8) There was fund-railing pitch at the opening of the show another one 20 minutes into the show and another one at the end of the first 30 minutes I think this ia too cloa together --shy they should be about every half hour bull

bull A ~tI

- 3 shy

9) It seemed to me that Payne was qn too long the first half hour I think a change of _ce of interrogators 18 especially important in the early part of the show to get the show off to a good fast start Thi is no critici of Payne bull but merely of the timing

10) I think it WAS a mistake to let McCarthy on to make a speech and as agreedmiddot I dont believe he should be on the air except in San rranctsco which is bis area

11) The Philippino translation is good but if we repeat this type of thing I think it should be as it was this time - shyin the latter part of the show -- because it does slow the pace down tremendously I also think there was a little too much of it

12) IN was concerned about the fact he was trapped into a visit with the studio audience - which he avoided by going to the operators instead also by being forced to ask the quetions himself at the beginning and at other tiJDe during the show It was his understanding and we had agreed with Roarke before show time that neither of thee things should be done This should be clearly settled between Roarke and IN prior to the next Telethon

Dick Powell is not able to be the emcee nor does he fl he will be able to appear on the Telethons

Actually we were not c01l8idering h1lll for ttmeee but rather a the chief star aDd- procurer of other stara

The man we were c01l8ideriDa waa Bill Leyden with Jack LtDkletter as the other posibility Neither one will be able to take on the aaslgament

We have therefore decided to get a top professional aDDOUDcer with gooltl emcee ability on a paid basta to uae aa our back-up emcee for all the Telethons We vill thus be asured of alway bav1Da omeone available who vill be haDdl1Dg things our way

After careful auditions and screening t the man selected for this aslgament 18 llex Maze from San Diego who is dedicated to you extremely competent aDd 1 think will do an axcellnt job Be will be in the office early this next week and 1 hope you will have an opportunity to meet him

I poke to Bill Leyden again lut night and told him that we want

one in the Nixon campaign very soon

Both Mills and Leyden are ympathetic to our caue and my honest

op1ntcm i they will do everyihing poslble 0 arrange this However

since Leyden taS a cOllt1act employ of NBC netwolk must clear hi

participation in tho campaign and We he might be able to do ome I

dont know if he could do all 01 our telethona

We must also provide for a Master of Ceremonies and his travel and expenses the printing of tickets badges and question forms the purchase of pencils and pens for telephone operators travel expenses for Jack Rourke and travel expenses for one person from our agency plus an infinite number of conshytingencies which can occur in these distant cities which may be entirely beyond our knowledge or control at this moment Our agency cannot undershytake and be held responsible for such an important all-out effort without the assurance that adequate funds will be provided and it is my considered opinion that the Financial Committee mu~t be prepared to face a possible additional expenditure of at least $25000 I respectfully submit that the agency has the right to ask for this assurance

Will you therefore ask that a purchase order be prepared in the amount of $11332600 and that we would appreciate having this matter resolved at the earliest possible moment since we have already made commitments to the stations the producer printers etc and are at this moment expending our own funds

2) The identification signs for the telephone operators were way too small

3) At the time the show went on the air Lloyd Nolan was wandering around totally lost not knowing where to sit or what to do

4) We need much betteJ crowd control There were all sorts of extraneous-people wandering allover the stage including - I am sure - whatever Brown spies were abullbulligned to cover this

5) We need more let decoration They apparently only had two of the miniature 24-sheets There lhould be more of this material available and the production crew should carry a reserve supply

6) We discused during the program the audience noise level problem This should be carefully looked into ahead of air tim e

7) Regarding Rex Mays everyone agreed he did a but there are a couple of mtnor suggestions

superb job

1) I think he could put more his opening

fire and enthusiasm into

2) I think he could speed up hi rate of delivery on the half-hourly wrap-ups which would make this much more effective

8) There was fund-railing pitch at the opening of the show another one 20 minutes into the show and another one at the end of the first 30 minutes I think this ia too cloa together --shy they should be about every half hour bull

bull A ~tI

- 3 shy

9) It seemed to me that Payne was qn too long the first half hour I think a change of _ce of interrogators 18 especially important in the early part of the show to get the show off to a good fast start Thi is no critici of Payne bull but merely of the timing

10) I think it WAS a mistake to let McCarthy on to make a speech and as agreedmiddot I dont believe he should be on the air except in San rranctsco which is bis area

11) The Philippino translation is good but if we repeat this type of thing I think it should be as it was this time - shyin the latter part of the show -- because it does slow the pace down tremendously I also think there was a little too much of it

12) IN was concerned about the fact he was trapped into a visit with the studio audience - which he avoided by going to the operators instead also by being forced to ask the quetions himself at the beginning and at other tiJDe during the show It was his understanding and we had agreed with Roarke before show time that neither of thee things should be done This should be clearly settled between Roarke and IN prior to the next Telethon

Dick Powell is not able to be the emcee nor does he fl he will be able to appear on the Telethons

Actually we were not c01l8idering h1lll for ttmeee but rather a the chief star aDd- procurer of other stara

The man we were c01l8ideriDa waa Bill Leyden with Jack LtDkletter as the other posibility Neither one will be able to take on the aaslgament

We have therefore decided to get a top professional aDDOUDcer with gooltl emcee ability on a paid basta to uae aa our back-up emcee for all the Telethons We vill thus be asured of alway bav1Da omeone available who vill be haDdl1Dg things our way

After careful auditions and screening t the man selected for this aslgament 18 llex Maze from San Diego who is dedicated to you extremely competent aDd 1 think will do an axcellnt job Be will be in the office early this next week and 1 hope you will have an opportunity to meet him

We will of course plan to have several top stars on each Telethon and they will perform some of the emcee chorea However 1 am 8ure you will recognize the need for our having our own man on hand at all times

At a telethon meeting laat wk it was generally agreed that if

we could g Bill Le~ to b emcee it would be the best thing for us tAs you know I had eliscussed thi with Leyden without comm1tment some

time ago

I poke to Bill Leyden again lut night and told him that we want

him and that hi manager Arnie Mills (OL 1middot~OZ4~ would hear from 8ome-

one in the Nixon campaign very soon

Both Mills and Leyden are ympathetic to our caue and my honest

op1ntcm i they will do everyihing poslble 0 arrange this However

since Leyden taS a cOllt1act employ of NBC netwolk must clear hi

participation in tho campaign and We he might be able to do ome I

dont know if he could do all 01 our telethona

In any ca 1 think Leyan is a plus for ua and every effort ahould

Subject Results of Survey on Browns Telethon -- 10862

Distribution Herb Klein file

Time of broadcast 700 PM to 830 PM

Time of survey calls 700 PM to 815 PM

Number of calls 453

Of this total number called 119 were not watching television and 334 were watching tv

Of the 334 watching television only 58 were watching Channel 47 -shythe chann~l on which Browns telecast was carried

During the survey of the Nixon telethon in Fresno on 10562 there were 343 calls made during a one-hour period and 33 13 percent of the viewers were tuned in to RN as opposed to 17 percent tuned in for Brown on Monday night

The ratings were 19 for RN and 13 for Brown

The seeming discrepancy here may be accounted for in part by the fact that there were a higher number of sets in use during the time Browns telethon was on the air although a lower pershycentage of the sets which were in use were tuned in to Brown than were tuned in to Nixon

3) At the time the show went on the air Lloyd Nolan was wandering around totally lost not knowing where to sit or what to do

4) We need much betteJ crowd control There were all sorts of extraneous-people wandering allover the stage including - I am sure - whatever Brown spies were abullbulligned to cover this

5) We need more let decoration They apparently only had two of the miniature 24-sheets There lhould be more of this material available and the production crew should carry a reserve supply

6) We discused during the program the audience noise level problem This should be carefully looked into ahead of air tim e

7) Regarding Rex Mays everyone agreed he did a but there are a couple of mtnor suggestions

superb job

1) I think he could put more his opening

fire and enthusiasm into

2) I think he could speed up hi rate of delivery on the half-hourly wrap-ups which would make this much more effective

8) There was fund-railing pitch at the opening of the show another one 20 minutes into the show and another one at the end of the first 30 minutes I think this ia too cloa together --shy they should be about every half hour bull

bull A ~tI

9) It seemed to me that Payne was qn too long the first half hour I think a change of _ce of interrogators 18 especially important in the early part of the show to get the show off to a good fast start Thi is no critici of Payne bull but merely of the timing

10) I think it WAS a mistake to let McCarthy on to make a speech and as agreedmiddot I dont believe he should be on the air except in San rranctsco which is bis area

11) The Philippino translation is good but if we repeat this type of thing I think it should be as it was this time - shyin the latter part of the show -- because it does slow the pace down tremendously I also think there was a little too much of it

12) IN was concerned about the fact he was trapped into a visit with the studio audience - which he avoided by going to the operators instead also by being forced to ask the quetions himself at the beginning and at other tiJDe during the show It was his understanding and we had agreed with Roarke before show time that neither of thee things should be done This should be clearly settled between Roarke and IN prior to the next Telethon

Dick Powell is not able to be the emcee nor does he fl he will be able to appear on the Telethons

Actually we were not c01l8idering h1lll for ttmeee but rather a the chief star aDd- procurer of other stara

The man we were c01l8ideriDa waa Bill Leyden with Jack LtDkletter as the other posibility Neither one will be able to take on the aaslgament

We have therefore decided to get a top professional aDDOUDcer with gooltl emcee ability on a paid basta to uae aa our back-up emcee for all the Telethons We vill thus be asured of alway bav1Da omeone available who vill be haDdl1Dg things our way

After careful auditions and screening t the man selected for this aslgament 18 llex Maze from San Diego who is dedicated to you extremely competent aDd 1 think will do an axcellnt job Be will be in the office early this next week and 1 hope you will have an opportunity to meet him

We will of course plan to have several top stars on each Telethon and they will perform some of the emcee chorea However 1 am 8ure you will recognize the need for our having our own man on hand at all times

At a telethon meeting laat wk it was generally agreed that if

we could g Bill Le~ to b emcee it would be the best thing for us tAs you know I had eliscussed thi with Leyden without comm1tment some

time ago

I poke to Bill Leyden again lut night and told him that we want

him and that hi manager Arnie Mills (OL 1middot~OZ4~ would hear from 8ome-

one in the Nixon campaign very soon

Both Mills and Leyden are ympathetic to our caue and my honest

op1ntcm i they will do everyihing poslble 0 arrange this However

since Leyden taS a cOllt1act employ of NBC netwolk must clear hi

participation in tho campaign and We he might be able to do ome I

dont know if he could do all 01 our telethona

In any ca 1 think Leyan is a plus for ua and every effort ahould

be made to get him for as many telethon I possible

Subject Results of Survey on Browns Telethon -- 10862

Distribution Herb Klein file

Time of broadcast 700 PM to 830 PM

Time of survey calls 700 PM to 815 PM

Number of calls 453

Of this total number called 119 were not watching television and 334 were watching tv

Of the 334 watching television only 58 were watching Channel 47 -shythe chann~l on which Browns telecast was carried

During the survey of the Nixon telethon in Fresno on 10562 there were 343 calls made during a one-hour period and 33 13 percent of the viewers were tuned in to RN as opposed to 17 percent tuned in for Brown on Monday night

The ratings were 19 for RN and 13 for Brown

The seeming discrepancy here may be accounted for in part by the fact that there were a higher number of sets in use during the time Browns telethon was on the air although a lower pershycentage of the sets which were in use were tuned in to Brown than were tuned in to Nixon

TO BOB HALDEMAN

cc CHARLIE FARRINGTON

SUBJECT PURCHASE ORDER FOR 7 WIN WITH NIXON TELETHONS

It is imperative that Hixson amp Jorgensen be provided with a properly signed authorization to proceed with all the necessary commitments to successfully bring about our telethons

An estimate of the principal items is attached with some detail bull including radio simulcasts and the services of the producer The amount of this estimate is $8832600

There are a great many items which cannot be properly estimated at this time due to the need for fipal decisions and determinations One of the main items will be newspaper advertising for the telethons Our recap shows space for one ad at $716500bull If we run two ads which I believe would be a minimum this would be an additional $716500 bullbullbull and assuming the ad is different in nature there might well be an additional $300000 for production due to the many changes in the ad to meet all local conditions of time station etc

We must also provide for a Master of Ceremonies and his travel and expenses the printing of tickets badges and question forms the purchase of pencils and pens for telephone operators travel expenses for Jack Rourke and travel expenses for one person from our agency plus an infinite number of conshytingencies which can occur in these distant cities which may be entirely beyond our knowledge or control at this moment Our agency cannot undershytake and be held responsible for such an important all-out effort without the assurance that adequate funds will be provided and it is my considered opinion that the Financial Committee mu~t be prepared to face a possible additional expenditure of at least $25000 I respectfully submit that the agency has the right to ask for this assurance

Will you therefore ask that a purchase order be prepared in the amount of $11332600 and that we would appreciate having this matter resolved at the earliest possible moment since we have already made commitments to the stations the producer printers etc and are at this moment expending our own funds

Subject Results of Survey on Browns Telethon -- 10862

Distribution Herb Klein file

Time of broadcast 700 PM to 830 PM

Time of survey calls 700 PM to 815 PM

Number of calls 453

Of this total number called 119 were not watching television and 334 were watching tv

Of the 334 watching television only 58 were watching Channel 47 -shythe chann~l on which Browns telecast was carried

During the survey of the Nixon telethon in Fresno on 10562 there were 343 calls made during a one-hour period and 33 13 percent of the viewers were tuned in to RN as opposed to 17 percent tuned in for Brown on Monday night

The ratings were 19 for RN and 13 for Brown

The seeming discrepancy here may be accounted for in part by the fact that there were a higher number of sets in use during the time Browns telethon was on the air although a lower pershycentage of the sets which were in use were tuned in to Brown than were tuned in to Nixon

TO BOB HALDEMAN

SUBJECT PURCHASE ORDER FOR 7 WIN WITH NIXON TELETHONS

It is imperative that Hixson amp Jorgensen be provided with a properly signed authorization to proceed with all the necessary commitments to successfully bring about our telethons

An estimate of the principal items is attached with some detail bull including radio simulcasts and the services of the producer The amount of this estimate is $8832600

There are a great many items which cannot be properly estimated at this time due to the need for fipal decisions and determinations One of the main items will be newspaper advertising for the telethons Our recap shows space for one ad at $716500bull If we run two ads which I believe would be a minimum this would be an additional $716500 bullbullbull and assuming the ad is different in nature there might well be an additional $300000 for production due to the many changes in the ad to meet all local conditions of time station etc

We must also provide for a Master of Ceremonies and his travel and expenses the printing of tickets badges and question forms the purchase of pencils and pens for telephone operators travel expenses for Jack Rourke and travel expenses for one person from our agency plus an infinite number of conshytingencies which can occur in these distant cities which may be entirely beyond our knowledge or control at this moment Our agency cannot undershytake and be held responsible for such an important all-out effort without the assurance that adequate funds will be provided and it is my considered opinion that the Financial Committee mu~t be prepared to face a possible additional expenditure of at least $25000 I respectfully submit that the agency has the right to ask for this assurance

Will you therefore ask that a purchase order be prepared in the amount of $11332600 and that we would appreciate having this matter resolved at the earliest possible moment since we have already made commitments to the stations the producer printers etc and are at this moment expending our own funds

2) The identification signs for the telephone operators were way too small

3) At the time the show went on the air Lloyd Nolan was wandering around totally lost not knowing where to sit or what to do

4) We need much betteJ crowd control There were all sorts of extraneous-people wandering allover the stage including - I am sure - whatever Brown spies were abullbulligned to cover this

5) We need more let decoration They apparently only had two of the miniature 24-sheets There lhould be more of this material available and the production crew should carry a reserve supply

6) We discused during the program the audience noise level problem This should be carefully looked into ahead of air tim e

7) Regarding Rex Mays everyone agreed he did a but there are a couple of mtnor suggestions

superb job

1) I think he could put more his opening

fire and enthusiasm into

2) I think he could speed up hi rate of delivery on the half-hourly wrap-ups which would make this much more effective

8) There was fund-railing pitch at the opening of the show another one 20 minutes into the show and another one at the end of the first 30 minutes I think this ia too cloa together --shy they should be about every half hour bull

bull A ~tI

- 3 shy

9) It seemed to me that Payne was qn too long the first half hour I think a change of _ce of interrogators 18 especially important in the early part of the show to get the show off to a good fast start Thi is no critici of Payne bull but merely of the timing

10) I think it WAS a mistake to let McCarthy on to make a speech and as agreedmiddot I dont believe he should be on the air except in San rranctsco which is bis area

11) The Philippino translation is good but if we repeat this type of thing I think it should be as it was this time - shyin the latter part of the show -- because it does slow the pace down tremendously I also think there was a little too much of it

12) IN was concerned about the fact he was trapped into a visit with the studio audience - which he avoided by going to the operators instead also by being forced to ask the quetions himself at the beginning and at other tiJDe during the show It was his understanding and we had agreed with Roarke before show time that neither of thee things should be done This should be clearly settled between Roarke and IN prior to the next Telethon

INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Nixon for Governor

To vltb Haldeman Date October 9 1962

From Charlie Farrington

Subject Results of Survey on Browns Telethon -- 10862

Distribution Herb Klein file

Time of broadcast 700 PM to 830 PM

Time of survey calls 700 PM to 815 PM

Number of calls 453

Of this total number called 119 were not watching television and 334 were watching tv

Of the 334 watching television only 58 were watching Channel 47 -shythe chann~l on which Browns telecast was carried

During the survey of the Nixon telethon in Fresno on 10562 there were 343 calls made during a one-hour period and 33 13 percent of the viewers were tuned in to RN as opposed to 17 percent tuned in for Brown on Monday night

The ratings were 19 for RN and 13 for Brown

The seeming discrepancy here may be accounted for in part by the fact that there were a higher number of sets in use during the time Browns telethon was on the air although a lower pershycentage of the sets which were in use were tuned in to Brown than were tuned in to Nixon

SUBJECT PURCHASE ORDER FOR 7 WIN WITH NIXON TELETHONS

It is imperative that Hixson amp Jorgensen be provided with a properly signed authorization to proceed with all the necessary commitments to successfully bring about our telethons

An estimate of the principal items is attached with some detail bull including radio simulcasts and the services of the producer The amount of this estimate is $8832600

There are a great many items which cannot be properly estimated at this time due to the need for fipal decisions and determinations One of the main items will be newspaper advertising for the telethons Our recap shows space for one ad at $716500bull If we run two ads which I believe would be a minimum this would be an additional $716500 bullbullbull and assuming the ad is different in nature there might well be an additional $300000 for production due to the many changes in the ad to meet all local conditions of time station etc

We must also provide for a Master of Ceremonies and his travel and expenses the printing of tickets badges and question forms the purchase of pencils and pens for telephone operators travel expenses for Jack Rourke and travel expenses for one person from our agency plus an infinite number of conshytingencies which can occur in these distant cities which may be entirely beyond our knowledge or control at this moment Our agency cannot undershytake and be held responsible for such an important all-out effort without the assurance that adequate funds will be provided and it is my considered opinion that the Financial Committee mu~t be prepared to face a possible additional expenditure of at least $25000 I respectfully submit that the agency has the right to ask for this assurance

Will you therefore ask that a purchase order be prepared in the amount of $11332600 and that we would appreciate having this matter resolved at the earliest possible moment since we have already made commitments to the stations the producer printers etc and are at this moment expending our own funds

2) The identification signs for the telephone operators were way too small

3) At the time the show went on the air Lloyd Nolan was wandering around totally lost not knowing where to sit or what to do

4) We need much betteJ crowd control There were all sorts of extraneous-people wandering allover the stage including - I am sure - whatever Brown spies were abullbulligned to cover this

5) We need more let decoration They apparently only had two of the miniature 24-sheets There lhould be more of this material available and the production crew should carry a reserve supply

6) We discused during the program the audience noise level problem This should be carefully looked into ahead of air tim e

7) Regarding Rex Mays everyone agreed he did a but there are a couple of mtnor suggestions

superb job

1) I think he could put more his opening

fire and enthusiasm into

2) I think he could speed up hi rate of delivery on the half-hourly wrap-ups which would make this much more effective

8) There was fund-railing pitch at the opening of the show another one 20 minutes into the show and another one at the end of the first 30 minutes I think this ia too cloa together --shy they should be about every half hour bull

bull A ~tI

- 3 shy

9) It seemed to me that Payne was qn too long the first half hour I think a change of _ce of interrogators 18 especially important in the early part of the show to get the show off to a good fast start Thi is no critici of Payne bull but merely of the timing

10) I think it WAS a mistake to let McCarthy on to make a speech and as agreedmiddot I dont believe he should be on the air except in San rranctsco which is bis area

11) The Philippino translation is good but if we repeat this type of thing I think it should be as it was this time - shyin the latter part of the show -- because it does slow the pace down tremendously I also think there was a little too much of it

12) IN was concerned about the fact he was trapped into a visit with the studio audience - which he avoided by going to the operators instead also by being forced to ask the quetions himself at the beginning and at other tiJDe during the show It was his understanding and we had agreed with Roarke before show time that neither of thee things should be done This should be clearly settled between Roarke and IN prior to the next Telethon

Dick Powell is not able to be the emcee nor does he fl he will be able to appear on the Telethons

Actually we were not c01l8idering h1lll for ttmeee but rather a the chief star aDd- procurer of other stara

The man we were c01l8ideriDa waa Bill Leyden with Jack LtDkletter as the other posibility Neither one will be able to take on the aaslgament

We have therefore decided to get a top professional aDDOUDcer with gooltl emcee ability on a paid basta to uae aa our back-up emcee for all the Telethons We vill thus be asured of alway bav1Da omeone available who vill be haDdl1Dg things our way

After careful auditions and screening t the man selected for this aslgament 18 llex Maze from San Diego who is dedicated to you extremely competent aDd 1 think will do an axcellnt job Be will be in the office early this next week and 1 hope you will have an opportunity to meet him

We will of course plan to have several top stars on each Telethon and they will perform some of the emcee chorea However 1 am 8ure you will recognize the need for our having our own man on hand at all times

At a telethon meeting laat wk it was generally agreed that if

we could g Bill Le~ to b emcee it would be the best thing for us tAs you know I had eliscussed thi with Leyden without comm1tment some

time ago

I poke to Bill Leyden again lut night and told him that we want

him and that hi manager Arnie Mills (OL 1middot~OZ4~ would hear from 8ome-

one in the Nixon campaign very soon

Both Mills and Leyden are ympathetic to our caue and my honest

op1ntcm i they will do everyihing poslble 0 arrange this However

since Leyden taS a cOllt1act employ of NBC netwolk must clear hi

participation in tho campaign and We he might be able to do ome I

dont know if he could do all 01 our telethona

In any ca 1 think Leyan is a plus for ua and every effort ahould

be made to get him for as many telethon I possible

9) It seemed to me that Payne was qn too long the first half hour I think a change of _ce of interrogators 18 especially important in the early part of the show to get the show off to a good fast start Thi is no critici of Payne bull but merely of the timing

10) I think it WAS a mistake to let McCarthy on to make a speech and as agreedmiddot I dont believe he should be on the air except in San rranctsco which is bis area

11) The Philippino translation is good but if we repeat this type of thing I think it should be as it was this time - shyin the latter part of the show -- because it does slow the pace down tremendously I also think there was a little too much of it

12) IN was concerned about the fact he was trapped into a visit with the studio audience - which he avoided by going to the operators instead also by being forced to ask the quetions himself at the beginning and at other tiJDe during the show It was his understanding and we had agreed with Roarke before show time that neither of thee things should be done This should be clearly settled between Roarke and IN prior to the next Telethon

At a telethon meeting laat wk it was generally agreed that if

we could g Bill Le~ to b emcee it would be the best thing for us tAs you know I had eliscussed thi with Leyden without comm1tment some

time ago

I poke to Bill Leyden again lut night and told him that we want

him and that hi manager Arnie Mills (OL 1middot~OZ4~ would hear from 8ome-

one in the Nixon campaign very soon

Both Mills and Leyden are ympathetic to our caue and my honest

op1ntcm i they will do everyihing poslble 0 arrange this However

since Leyden taS a cOllt1act employ of NBC netwolk must clear hi

participation in tho campaign and We he might be able to do ome I

dont know if he could do all 01 our telethona

In any ca 1 think Leyan is a plus for ua and every effort ahould

be made to get him for as many telethon I possible

INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Nixon

1 ~ Disribution lt~b HaldemanJ~Agnello

~

i -gt

At a telethon meeting laat wk it was generally agreed that if

we could g Bill Le~ to b emcee it would be the best thing for us tAs you know I had eliscussed thi with Leyden without comm1tment some

time ago

I poke to Bill Leyden again lut night and told him that we want

him and that hi manager Arnie Mills (OL 1middot~OZ4~ would hear from 8ome-

one in the Nixon campaign very soon

Both Mills and Leyden are ympathetic to our caue and my honest

op1ntcm i they will do everyihing poslble 0 arrange this However

since Leyden taS a cOllt1act employ of NBC netwolk must clear hi

participation in tho campaign and We he might be able to do ome I

dont know if he could do all 01 our telethona

In any ca 1 think Leyan is a plus for ua and every effort ahould

be made to get him for as many telethon I possible

- 2 bull

2) The identification signs for the telephone operators were way too small

3) At the time the show went on the air Lloyd Nolan was wandering around totally lost not knowing where to sit or what to do

4) We need much betteJ crowd control There were all sorts of extraneous-people wandering allover the stage including - I am sure - whatever Brown spies were abullbulligned to cover this

5) We need more let decoration They apparently only had two of the miniature 24-sheets There lhould be more of this material available and the production crew should carry a reserve supply

6) We discused during the program the audience noise level problem This should be carefully looked into ahead of air tim e

7) Regarding Rex Mays everyone agreed he did a but there are a couple of mtnor suggestions

superb job

1) I think he could put more his opening

fire and enthusiasm into

2) I think he could speed up hi rate of delivery on the half-hourly wrap-ups which would make this much more effective

8) There was fund-railing pitch at the opening of the show another one 20 minutes into the show and another one at the end of the first 30 minutes I think this ia too cloa together --shy they should be about every half hour bull

bull A ~tI

- 3 shy

9) It seemed to me that Payne was qn too long the first half hour I think a change of _ce of interrogators 18 especially important in the early part of the show to get the show off to a good fast start Thi is no critici of Payne bull but merely of the timing

10) I think it WAS a mistake to let McCarthy on to make a speech and as agreedmiddot I dont believe he should be on the air except in San rranctsco which is bis area

11) The Philippino translation is good but if we repeat this type of thing I think it should be as it was this time - shyin the latter part of the show -- because it does slow the pace down tremendously I also think there was a little too much of it

12) IN was concerned about the fact he was trapped into a visit with the studio audience - which he avoided by going to the operators instead also by being forced to ask the quetions himself at the beginning and at other tiJDe during the show It was his understanding and we had agreed with Roarke before show time that neither of thee things should be done This should be clearly settled between Roarke and IN prior to the next Telethon

Dick Powell is not able to be the emcee nor does he fl he will be able to appear on the Telethons

Actually we were not c01l8idering h1lll for ttmeee but rather a the chief star aDd- procurer of other stara

The man we were c01l8ideriDa waa Bill Leyden with Jack LtDkletter as the other posibility Neither one will be able to take on the aaslgament

We have therefore decided to get a top professional aDDOUDcer with gooltl emcee ability on a paid basta to uae aa our back-up emcee for all the Telethons We vill thus be asured of alway bav1Da omeone available who vill be haDdl1Dg things our way

After careful auditions and screening t the man selected for this aslgament 18 llex Maze from San Diego who is dedicated to you extremely competent aDd 1 think will do an axcellnt job Be will be in the office early this next week and 1 hope you will have an opportunity to meet him

We will of course plan to have several top stars on each Telethon and they will perform some of the emcee chorea However 1 am 8ure you will recognize the need for our having our own man on hand at all times

2) The identification signs for the telephone operators were way too small

3) At the time the show went on the air Lloyd Nolan was wandering around totally lost not knowing where to sit or what to do

4) We need much betteJ crowd control There were all sorts of extraneous-people wandering allover the stage including - I am sure - whatever Brown spies were abullbulligned to cover this

5) We need more let decoration They apparently only had two of the miniature 24-sheets There lhould be more of this material available and the production crew should carry a reserve supply

6) We discused during the program the audience noise level problem This should be carefully looked into ahead of air tim e

7) Regarding Rex Mays everyone agreed he did a but there are a couple of mtnor suggestions

superb job

1) I think he could put more his opening

fire and enthusiasm into

2) I think he could speed up hi rate of delivery on the half-hourly wrap-ups which would make this much more effective

8) There was fund-railing pitch at the opening of the show another one 20 minutes into the show and another one at the end of the first 30 minutes I think this ia too cloa together --shy they should be about every half hour bull

bull A ~tI

- 3 shy

9) It seemed to me that Payne was qn too long the first half hour I think a change of _ce of interrogators 18 especially important in the early part of the show to get the show off to a good fast start Thi is no critici of Payne bull but merely of the timing

10) I think it WAS a mistake to let McCarthy on to make a speech and as agreedmiddot I dont believe he should be on the air except in San rranctsco which is bis area

11) The Philippino translation is good but if we repeat this type of thing I think it should be as it was this time - shyin the latter part of the show -- because it does slow the pace down tremendously I also think there was a little too much of it

12) IN was concerned about the fact he was trapped into a visit with the studio audience - which he avoided by going to the operators instead also by being forced to ask the quetions himself at the beginning and at other tiJDe during the show It was his understanding and we had agreed with Roarke before show time that neither of thee things should be done This should be clearly settled between Roarke and IN prior to the next Telethon

Dick Powell is not able to be the emcee nor does he fl he will be able to appear on the Telethons

The man we were c01l8ideriDa waa Bill Leyden with Jack LtDkletter as the other posibility Neither one will be able to take on the aaslgament

We have therefore decided to get a top professional aDDOUDcer with gooltl emcee ability on a paid basta to uae aa our back-up emcee for all the Telethons We vill thus be asured of alway bav1Da omeone available who vill be haDdl1Dg things our way

Dick Powell is not able to be the emcee nor does he fl he will be able to appear on the Telethons

Actually we were not c01l8idering h1lll for ttmeee but rather a the chief star aDd- procurer of other stara

The man we were c01l8ideriDa waa Bill Leyden with Jack LtDkletter as the other posibility Neither one will be able to take on the aaslgament

We have therefore decided to get a top professional aDDOUDcer with gooltl emcee ability on a paid basta to uae aa our back-up emcee for all the Telethons We vill thus be asured of alway bav1Da omeone available who vill be haDdl1Dg things our way

After careful auditions and screening t the man selected for this aslgament 18 llex Maze from San Diego who is dedicated to you extremely competent aDd 1 think will do an axcellnt job Be will be in the office early this next week and 1 hope you will have an opportunity to meet him

We will of course plan to have several top stars on each Telethon and they will perform some of the emcee chorea However 1 am 8ure you will recognize the need for our having our own man on hand at all times

To Bob Haldeman Date September 11 1962

From RN

Subject

Distribution

I have seen several suggestions with regard to who will be

the emcee for our various telethons For example among the names

I have seen is Dick Powell s I wonder if you would keep me posted

on this and let me know what the final decision is

INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM

i -gt

At a telethon meeting laat wk it was generally agreed that if

we could g Bill Le~ to b emcee it would be the best thing for us tAs you know I had eliscussed thi with Leyden without comm1tment some

time ago

I poke to Bill Leyden again lut night and told him that we want

him and that hi manager Arnie Mills (OL 1middot~OZ4~ would hear from 8ome-

one in the Nixon campaign very soon

Both Mills and Leyden are ympathetic to our caue and my honest

op1ntcm i they will do everyihing poslble 0 arrange this However

since Leyden taS a cOllt1act employ of NBC netwolk must clear hi

participation in tho campaign and We he might be able to do ome I

dont know if he could do all 01 our telethona

In any ca 1 think Leyan is a plus for ua and every effort ahould

be made to get him for as many telethon I possible
