■ Acting President S. I. Hayakawa of San Francisco State (who’s been there) had two words of advice for Harvard’s Nathan Pusey: 1) have enough police on campus so that those who want to learn and teach can do so and 2) avoid faculty meetings (because radical elements will pack them). . . . Private poll of Democratic fund-raisers in California shows Hayakawa far and away the most popular potential Democratic gubernatorial candidate and a close challenger to Ronald Reagan, whose popularity statewide is at all-time peak. . . . Jesse Unruh, who got derailed a year ago by his all-out support of Bobby Kennedy, is now wooing the left-fringes of the Party: e.g., he was featured speaker before California Democratic Council (which he used to spurn) and which, for instance, last week adopted a resolution calling for repeal of West Germany’s statute of, limitations on further war-crimes trials (a flaming issue in California, to be sure). . . . Unruh, who has lost much rank-and-file support to San Francisco Mayor Joseph Alioto, now needs the bodies & dollars of the CDC types. . . . The boycott of California grapes has been so complete at markets in the Hyde Park area of Chicago that grapelovers, who used to pay 29¢ a pound are now paying 69¢—for South African grapes.

■ Unusual: Louis Stokes (D., Ohio), a brand-new member of HCIS (formerly HUAC), was one of 51 congressmen to vote against the HCIS appropriation this year. Only five Republicans joined the minority: Ogden Reid, Daniel Button and Frank Horton, New York; Bradford Morse. Mass., and Charles Whalen, Ohio. . . . Latest UPI poll shows the Senate vote, at the moment, 49 to 42 against the ABM, with Charles Percy leading the Republican dissidents. . . . A gain for Nixon: refusal of Marion Folsom, the former Eisenhower cabinet member, and of Matthew Ridgeway to join National Citizens Committee Against the ABM. Didn’t like the politics of some of the other sponsors. . . . Walter Reuther says his UAW will also oppose ABM because “it is an extension of the insane nuclear rat race that will bring destruction to mankind.” Reuther move interpreted more as dig at hard anti-Communist George Meany than as attempt to sway individual workers.
