Fascinating Documents Related to the Student Protests During the Nixon Administration.

Washington, DC: The White House, 1970. 1970. Washington, DC: The White House, 1970. 1970. Very good. - Among the documents are six pages, each 8-1/2 inches high by 5-1/2 inches wide removed from a personalized notepad belonging to Art Sohmer, Chief-of-Staff to Vice-President Spiro Agnew. The notes penned by Sohmer, marked "Personal", were taken during a meeting with Dr. Alexander Heard, Special Advisor to the White House on Campus Affairs. The notes are dated 6/10/70. There is a paper clip stain to the top of the first page of Sohmer's notes. A note on White House letterhead from Dr. Heard, 5-1/4 inches high by 4 inches wide, is addressed to Sohmer transmitting "the memo I mentioned". It is signed "Alex. Heard" with the same date as the meeting, 6-10-70. The top edge of Heard's note is creased with an indentation from a paper clip. A photocopy of a 5-page memorandum, 10-1/2 inches high by 8 inches wide, from Mark H. Bickhard, Committee on Human Development, University of Chicago, addressed to Dr. Alexander Heard at the White House. He introduces it to Heard with the statement: "Enclosed is the memorandum that you requested. I'm sorry it's so late and I'm sorry it's so sketchy and incomplete: I haven't had time to do much about either. I hope you can make use of it and would appreciate your reactions to the ideas in it." Art Sohmer has penned "File AJS personal" on the first page of Bickhard's memorandum. As Vice President to Richard Nixon, Spiro Agnew gained notoriety for speaking out against demonstrators protesting against American intervention in the Vietnam War. He often condemned protesters as violent and confrontational. In a speech on April 27, 1970 he called on universities to adopt a "nine point get tough policy..an end to appeasement" of students and "a clear and concise set of rules for campus conduct". Some of Art Sohmer's Notes during June 10, 1970 meeting "re Dissent" with Alexander Heard: "1) Incomplete reflections of STAs thoughts and Moods has generated some of the reaction 2) Climate is volatile"; "4) Dissent is inherent - the function of a University - Society looks to U-for impartial & diverse views - in a critical role of society (constructive)"; "6) VP can demonstrate his understanding of the important role of dissent.."; "7) What are limits to dissent.."; "10) The human qualities of the VP should be shown"; "14) Some people would say I feel the highest expression of patriotism is to work for and urge withdrawal of forces from VN. Young people w/ideas should not be minimized. Youth thinks of themselves as a 'class' - new concept in US." "17) VP must see beyond the 'immediate tumult' - to implement the 'Bringing Together' of the Country"; "18) Difference between dissent over policy (e.g. Civil Rights / Political attack) and dissent over the way of government (any system of govt that can have VN over 3 administartions there must be something wrong - they say". Excerpts from the memorandum from Mark Bickhard: "In the great social instability and insecurity of the Depression, an individual's position was precarious and subject to destruction with little warning. For people growing up at this time, the issues of security and stability were immediate and paramount, and they correspondingly learned to be concerned with them first and above all others..The tenuousness of personal security and the threat of catastrophy that it implied were not so great for people growing up in the fifties..They turned more toward an internal locus of value and power and began to respond negatively to the ennui and absurdity of devoting one's life to a given narrow 'secure' slot in society. The resulting search for internally founded philosophies is seen in its most visible form as the hippies, drug cultures, communes, etc. - the deliberate experimentation with new life styles..here we have younger people thinking in a way almost exactly opposed to that of the Depression generation - in ways considered both dangerous and immoral by that generation..Current trends within student culture appear to be in the direction of the development of a new ideology of power. The turn to individual action as a basis for power in civil rights was pragmatic, not intellectual, and, as a matter of fact, was in my opinion contrary to the prevailing social welfare ideology of the left at that time..It is often said that young people have more power than they realize, but the relevant point is precisely that it is not in a personally realizable form. They appear to have effect only when they make of themselves social problems, not when they attempt to be social citizens..This country may yet be a ways from revolution, but the fact of so much frustration and anger among so many people as we see today is itself proof that 'standard channels' are inadequate, that this society is insufficiently adaptive and flexible to the needs and wants of its own citizens, and that the resistances and repressions that people encounter has exceeded a socially viable level. At this point the Nixon-Agnew-Mitchell campaign against students becomes relevant. Aside from the blatant insults and attacks, there is a pervasive bias in their rendition of events.. The Nixon-Agnew-Mitchell contribution to this atmosphere of fear and frustration is either deliberate and part of a chosen strategy, as they make ir appear to be, or not and resuts from their own basic fears and rigidities..In this context, Mr. Nixon's claims that he wants the same things that the students want are laughable indeed." For 18 years, Mark H. Bickhard was a member of the faculty of the Department of Educational Psychology at the University of Texas, Austin. From 1990 he became the Henry R. Luce Professor of Cognitive Robotics and the Philosophy of Knowledge at Lehigh University. Alexander Heard (1917-2009) was a political scientist who served as chancellor of Vanderbilt University from 1963 to 1982. He also served as an advisor to presidents Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon.

An Original Tongue-in-Cheek Broadside Titled "Senate Resolution No. 52 by Senator Mcguirk" Satirizing Vice President Spiro T. Agnew's Golf Skills, Endorsed by Maryland's Democratic State Senators.

Maryland, February 16, 1971. 1971. - An original 11 inch high by 8-1/2 inch wide broadside printed on creamy white paper with the State of Maryland's seal at the top and formal roulette decorations framing the text. Titled "Senate Resolution No. 52" with the text written by Maryland State Senator Harry J. McGuirk. The tongue-in-cheek resolution comments on the Vice President's golfing skills "Whereas, in his first appearance in the golf tournament in 1970, he gained national prominence when he hit a golf ball which caromed off the head of Doug Sanders, one of the foursome with whom Vice President Agnew was playing (and the Democrat of the four).." Commenting on Agnew's attempts at improving his golf skills, the document goes on to elaborate that "on the first tee with Bob Hope, Willie Mays and Edgar Eisenhower, as the remainder of his foursome, the Vice President took one swing at the golf ball and propelled it 20 yards, where it hit a male spectator and bounced off the forearm of Mrs. G. L. Decker of Salem Oregon..". The State Senate of Maryland proclaims its resolution thus: "Resolved, That the Senate of Maryland take due notice of one of Maryland's notable native son's second annual high jinx on the links and that the Senate suggests that Vice President Agnew use a marshmallow golf ball if he participates in another golf tournament.." The stamped signatures of the President of the Senate William S. James and Secretary of the Senate Oden Bowie are affixed at the bottom. All three, Bowie, James and McGuirk were Democrats. The broadside is in fine condition.

Oden Bowie (d. 2012) was Secretary of the Maryland Senate from 1969 through 1998.

William S. James (1914-1993) was President of the Maryland Senate from 1963 through 1974.

The author of the resolution, Harry J. McGuirk served in the Maryland House of Delegates from 1960 to 1967 and the State Senate from 1967 to 1982. Fine .

Agnew, Spiro T. (1918-1996] Governor of Maryland. Vice President of the United States under Nixon.

Original White House Photograph of the Audience of 10,000 Gathered to Support Vice President Spiro T. Agnew in Memphis, with Nurses Seated in the First Several Rows.

Memphis, Tennessee, September 22, 1970. 1970. - An original 9-3/4 inch high by 13-3/8 inch wide official White House photograph depicting nurses in their white uniforms seated in the front rows of the auditorium which reportedly hosted an audience of 10,000 during Agnew's campaign tour in Memphis, Tennessee. Nurses in the front row hold signs supporting the Vice President. "Official Photograph / The White House / Washington / 23SE70 4510-24" is stamped in blue on the verso with the annotation "Memphis, Tenn / Sept. 22, 1970" penned in ink below the stamp. There are but minor flaws. Near fine.

In an interesting side note, when Agnew's campaign jet landed in Memphis, Al Gore's father, Democratic Senator Albert Gore, Sr. of Tennessee made a surprise appearance elbowing his way into the Republican receiving line to greet the Vice President who was actually there to support Gore's rival Bill Brock who was not there.

In the midst of the Watergate scandal, Nixon's Vice President Spiro T. Agnew (1918-1996) was under investigation for Tax Fraud associated with brides he took while serving as Governor of Maryland. In a plea bargain, Agnew pled guilty to tax avoidance and was subsequently forced to resign his position as Vice President. Fine .

(Agnew, Spiro; Hamar, Sherman C.). Butler, Richard (1918-2004). White supremacist founder of the Neo-Nazi Aryan Nations.

Rare 1964 White Supremacist "Christian Defense News" Racist & Anti-Semitic Broadside on Newspaper Stock. This Broadside, Accompanied by 2 Letters Signed by Sherman C. Hamar, Was Mailed to Spyro Agnew, Richard Nixon's Future Vice-President Who Was Then Running for the Office of Governor of Maryland.

Los Angeles, CA: Christian Defense League, 1964. 1964. - Folio, a 22-1/2 inches high by 16 inches wide broadside. The May 13, 1964 Volume One, Number One issue of the "Christian Defense News" broadside is printed on newspaper stock. Titled below the banner headline proclaiming "Extra! Extra!" the broadside consists of provocative articles and photographic illustrations under bold headings such as "'White Christians' Now a Minority Group,' says Editor", "Enemies of Christianity on the March", and "Bible Out Of Schools". Folded several times for mailing, else fine.

A 2-page mechanically reproduced letter signed by Sherman C. Hamar, typed on both sides of legal-sized 14 inch high by 8-1/2 inch wide paper, is addressed "Dear Friend". Dated September 1966, the letter appears to be intended as a list of talking points for Republican candidates and lists 45 points drawn from the January 10, 1963 Congressional Record which the author views as demonstrating that the Communist party intends to take over the United States. He includes "Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities" which, in conjunction with Joseph McCarthy's efforts in the Senate, had conducted witch hunts and was responsible for the Hollywood black list. Seven numbers are penned in blue ink at the top of the first page, no doubt in order to emphasize the corresponding points.

An additional 8-page mechanically-reproduced letter, printed on both sides of 4 sheets of legal-sized 14 inch high by 8-1/2 inch wide paper, bears the heading "A Republican Christian Congress in '66. Be Informed." Dated May, 1966 and signed by Sherman C. Hamar, the letter outlines strategies which the party should employ while subtly supporting anti-Communist, White Christian and White Supremacist values. "You can & must win" is penned in blue ink at the top of the first page. There are several paper clip stains to the top edges of the first and last pages.

The broadside and letters were mailed to Spiro Agnew who was then running for Governor of Maryland and includes an original postmarked mailing envelope.

PROVENANCE: From the estate of Vice President Spiro T. Agnew's Chief-of-Staff, Arthur J. Sohmer.

Spiro T. Agnew [1918-1996] was Governor of Maryland and Vice President of the United States under Nixon. He was indicted for tax fraud and forced to resign.

The American white supremacist Richard Butler (1918-2004) dedicated himself to the Christian Identity movement and founded the Neo-Nazi group Aryan Nations in the 1970s. After studying aeronautical engineering and science, Butler was sent to India by his company to work on aircrafts for the Royal Indian Air Force. Some assert that his experience with the caste system influenced his later beliefs. Though he joined the Army Air Corps at the start of the Second World War, Butler never saw action. He became increasingly Anti-Semetic and Anti-Communist during that period. Influenced by William Porter Gale and also the Klansman and pastor of the Anglo-Saxon Christian Congregation Wesley Swift, Butler joined the Christian Identity movement. In the 1960's Butler was involved with the California Rangers, the paramilitary arm of the Christian Defense League and, in 1970, took over from Henry Beach as the leader of Posse Comitatus. Purchasing a large piece of land at Hayden Lake, Idaho, Butler founded the Aryan Nations group as a political wing of the racist white supremacist Church of Jesus Christ Christian. Fine .

(Agnew, Spiro). Prince Moulay Abdullah Ben Mohammad of Morocco (1935-1983).

Typed Letter Signed in Maghrebi Script by Prince Abdullah Ben Mohammad of Morocco.

Rabat, Morocco, August 16, 1971. 1971. - Over 140 words typed in French on the Prince's 8-1/4 inch high by 6-1/8 inch wide royal stationery with a crown above Maghrebi script printed in indigo at top right. In his letter addressed to Vice President Spiro Agnew's chief of staff Arthur Sohmer, Prince Moulay Abdallah of Morocco requests that Art Sohmer convey his warm regards and thanks to the Vice President for sending him a physical therapist "Je vous prie de transmettre a Monsieur le Vice-President S. AGNEW mes chaleureux remerciements pour la delicate attention qu'il a eue a mon egard en depechant aupres de moi un reeducateur". Vice President Agnew visited King Hassan II of Morocco on July 25th, 1971, only a couple weeks after the attempted coup during which Prince Moulay Abdullah of Morocco was wounded. The prince goes on to praise the skills and personality of the therapist which the Vice President had sent him and apologizes for not having been able to attend the dinner which the American Ambassador had hosted in the Vice President's honor. He further expresses his thanks to Art Sohmer for the latter's own personal contribution and gesture of friendship: "Je tiens a vous remercier pour votre contribution personnelle a ce geste si amical qui m'a particulierement touche". Signed by Prince Moulay Abdullah in Maghrebi script. The letter is creased at the corners and stapled to the original mailing envelope with the oval red ink seal of the prince's "Secretariat Particulier" with the prince's name above the image of the Prince's crown. The envelope also bear's the Office of the Vice President's blue stamp. The Department of State's stamp, together with the October 14th date, is stamped in blue on the verso of the letter. Penciled at the top left of the letter is a request for a translation likely written by Art Sohmer: "State: Translation & suggested reply if appropriate".

Accompanying Prince Moulay Abdullah's letter, which was written in French, is an official "Office of the Vice President / Referral" form addressed to Mr. James L. Carson, director of the State Department's Secretarial Staff. This form dated October 12, 1971 and signed by Major P.D. Slack, the Marine Corps Aide to the Vice President, requests that the letter be translated for Art Sohmer and the Vice President's benefit. The translation, typed on 10-1/2 inch high by 8 inch wide "Department of State Division of Language Services" letterhead, accompanies the letter. A referral number is stamped at the top of the Prince's letter as well as at the top of the referral form and the translation references this number.

The brother of King Hassan II of Morocco, Prince Moulay Abdullah of Morocco (1935-1983) was married to Lamia Solh, the daughter of Lebanon's first Prime Minister. On July 10, 1971, General Mohamed Medbouh who was disillusioned by King Hassan's light treatment of staff members who were shown to have been shaking down foreign companies and convinced that the King may himself be involved, led a coup attempt. Conspiring with other military officers, Medbouh enlisted a force of 1,200 cadets to storm the palace during the King's birthday reception where, according to different sources, between 400 to 800 guests were present. 92 people were killed in the attempted coup and many more injured, including Prince Moulay Abdullah Ben Mohammad. Royalist troops overcame the rebels, killing more than a hundred cadets and capturing another 900 and their officers. Two weeks later, on July 25, 1971, Vice President Agnew visited Morocco. In his book, "Hunting the President: Threats, Plots and Assassination Attempts.." Mel Ayton quotes Chuck Vance who served on President Ford's protective detail and who described the risks of foreign visits by U.S. Presidents & Vice Presidents: "There's going to be some razzle dazzle so people aren't quite clear who to attack. They'll have military personnel everywhere: frogmen, ships, and aircraft. I called in a whole [naval] fleet one time in a Moroccan visit for [Vice President] Agnew because of political uncertainties", no doubt referring to this visit. It was during this visit that Agnew referred (or sent) the physical therapist to the Prince. Prince Moulay Abdullah, who was a favorite of his father, passed away from cancer in 1983 at the age of 48. Stade Moulay Abdullah stadium was named after him.

Spiro T. Agnew [1918-1996] was Governor of Maryland and Vice President of the United States under Nixon. He was indicted for tax fraud and forced to resign.

The recipient, Arthur J. Sohmer (1926-1991), was Chief-of-Staff to Vice President Spiro T. Agnew. .
