MEMORAN'DUM OF CONVERSATION WITH GOVERNOR
r. ARREN iii-ARNES OP MInnOURI re: Chicago meeting

i talked with Governor Warren Hearnes of Mia-curl. He
declined to come because of "short notice. He reects

a very dismal view of the President's situation in Missouri.
He contends that no one defends the President that
unlike the situation with John Kennedy. who many people
defended even when they admitted he made severe mietakee.

He thought that the President's vote in 1964 was very much
an anti-Goldwater vote. and if the President were running
against Romney today in Missouri. it would be close. He
thought Nixon would be easier to beat.

I gathered that his feelings are compounded of at least two
parts other than that expressed above:

1. On those occasions when he has been around the
Prelldont. he has not been accorded the treatment he would
like. He commented on being with the President and having
the President bring many Senators into the car with him.

He said that if Mrs. Johnson hadn't been along, he w mid
have had no one to talk to. He stated that Senators might be
fine to pass bills. but they couldn't elect Presidents. He
said he understood the necessity for getting along with the
Senate. because he had a Senate; but the President should not
forget that the Senators don't carry the delegations.

2. While he did not say so. 1 had the feeling that
Governor Hearnee is probably not in sympathy with the
President's program. and will not himself defend it.

Governor Hearnee talked uninterruptedly {or about
halt an hour. I believe a little personal attention muld be
effective to win his support. 1 must call to the Presidents
attention every opportunity to give him a pat on the back.
