Nixon’s Views Inconsistent
About Congress, Says 4 Ms.’

In April, 1948 Congressman
Richard M. Nixon voted for a
resolution which would have
forced all executive agencies to
make confidential information
available to Congress on demand.
Nixon and Douglas faced each
other in the 1950 California
Senate race, after they had served
two simultaneous terms in the
House of Representatives. Helen
Gahagan Douglas lost to Nixon
because of campaign tactics tac
tics nearly as infamous as those
that have surfaced in the Water
gate affair. Had her opponent
campaigned on the issues, per
haps history would have been
dramatically different.
There are two documents repre
sentative of that campaign; the
Blue Book and the Pink Sheet.
The Blue Book, issued by Helen
Douglas’s poeple, contained the
Nixon-Douglas voting records on
significant bills as well as rele
vant statements on the issues
involved. The Pink Sheet was
Nixon’s most effective campaign
flier. The color was chosen by
campaign manager (and still
close adviser) Murray Chotiner,
who later commented: “We found
a stock of paper that had a pink
ish tinge to it and for some
reason or other it just seemed
to appeal to us for the moment.”
“Its contents,” according to a
Ms. article, “compared Helen
Douglas’s voting record in the
House with that of Vito Marc-
antonio, an extremely contro
versial political maverick from
New York’s East Harlem district.
He was not a Communist. Today,
his views would be consonant
with a majority of liberals, but
in 1950 it was sufficient merely
to invoke his name in order to
scare horses in the street.”
Nixon avoided identifying
Helen Douglas as a Democrat.
He referred to “The Douglas-
Marcantonio Axis,” and during
one of his whistle-stops, even
said, “Helen Gahagan Douglas is
pink right down to her under
wear.” Later, he commented:
“I’m sorry about that episode.
I was a very young man.”
Ms. Douglas’s voting record in
the 1940’s reflected her deep con
cern for middle-class housing,
slum clearance, the Fair Employ
ment Practices Act, and an in
creased minimum wage.
Summing up her reaction to
that campaign, Helen Gahagan
Douglas said: “You can’t run out
on all the things you’ve stood for,
just to win an election.”
In observing the current Erwin
Committee revelations, Ms. Doug
las commented, “Pm not sur
prised. But I don't feel the need
for vindication—and satisfaction
is totally out of place.”

2, you are also against Amend
ment 3. Amendment 3, a correla
tive to Amendment 2, reads, “For
or Against: The constitutional
amendment to extend the $3,000
ad valorem tax exemption to the
homesteads of unmarried adults.”
If Amendment 2 fails, conse
quently, so does Amendment 3
regardless of the vote on 3, since
there are no “homesteads of un
married adults” without passage
of the second amendment.
Passage of Amendment 3 on the
ballot would result in a reduction
of tax revenue from the property
newly exempted. Not immediately
obvious is the fact that a slight
tax increase will probably be nec
essary to offset the losses.
Those supporting Amendment
3 maintain that there is no good
reason to tax the real property
of unmarried adults at a higher
rate than married adults. Accord
ing to proponents people who
choose not to marry or are no
longer married should not be pen
alized for their lifestyle by (up to
now at least) the majority, i.e.,
those wishing to encourage mar
riages.
All the arguments against
Amendment 2 apply to 3 as well,
with one addition. Some critics
say all exemptions are bad. The
inequities arising out of special
exemptions point to a need for,
not more exemptions, but overall
reform of the system.
