REDDINGTON BEACH, Fla. — (UPI) “We’re friends,” said Joe DiMaggio. “We’re friends,” echoed Marilyn Monroe in her soft sigh.
Brown, in announcing his request for a report, said: "Unless they violate a law they have a right to speak" and added that he "couldn't imagine" what law they might have broken.
Birchers Lash Back in California
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — (UPI)
— Robert Welch, founder and head of the John Birch Society demanded last night that the conservative anti-Communist society be investigated by the California State Senate's Un-American Activities Committee.
He made the demand to Gov. Edmund G. Brown who on Tuesday had asked State Attorney General Stanley Mosk to give him a report on the organization, which has come under considerable criticism in the state.
Welch's telegram, copies of which also were sent to Burns and Mosk was made public here by Paul II
A SPOKESMAN for the legislative committee said it had no present plans to make an investigation of the organization. Its chairman, Sen Hugh M. Burns, said the committee had been watching society activities for several weeks but had discovered no irregularities.
Joe, Marilyn Just Friends
But the understanding glances between the shapely movie actress and the former New York Yankee baseball star revived speculation today that the two may be close to another marriage. The "friends," who are sharing a beach cabana and have nearby hotel rooms at this gulf coast resort, declined to elaborate.
BUT WHILE the Yankees were at Bradenton yesterday for a game against Milwaukee, Joe trodd into the surf at the swank Tides Hotel and Bath Club for a brief swim. The graying, trim DiMaggio told newsmen that Miss Monroe would be out in a few minutes, then seemed somewhat nervous when a half hour passed and no Marilyn.
Then the beautiful movie actress appeared on the beach, clad in a blue strapless sun bra, white capri pants and an open white jacket. She sat with DiMaggio under a beach umbrella, steadily growing more conscious of the stares from a gathering crowd.
"I came down here for some rest, some sun and to visit Joe," she explained.
They were husband and wife in 1954.

Talbert, a member of the society's council.
IT SAID: "We respectfully and, in view of statements made to press by officials of your state, urgently demand the proposed investigation of the John Birch Society by the California State Senate Un-American Activities Committee. A dozen or a hundred or a thousand of our members in California will gladly testify and we can assure you that, unlike our Communist enemies, none of our members will take the fifth amendment."
In a prepared statement made available to UPI, Talbert demanded to know who was responsible for leading the attack on the Society and who was keeping it alive.
"... What is happening to cause supposedly reputable newspapers to refer to us as fascists, neo-fascists, silver shirts, red shirts, black shirts, subversives, and even to compare us with the Ku Klux Klan?" Talbert asked in his statement.
Talbert said they'd be kicked out of the Society if they did.
The Society apparently also was the target of attack by Chancellor Samuel B. Gould of the University of California at Santa Barbara in a university banquet speech. He said a "new type" of secret student organization had been set up on the campus which "unless it is checked, can destroy the university." Gould did not name the society but another university official said he was referring to the Birch group.
A RESOLUTION to denounce the Society for Welch's statement that former President Eisenhower was a
Communist agent was introduced in the state Assembly yesterday by Assemblyman John A. O'Connell, a Democrat. The Welch statement was made in a letter written before the founding of the Society. O'Connell's resolution that the Assembly "denounce the divisive, coercive and-un-American activities employed by the John Birch Society and its adherents" was referred to the rules committee for later hearing.
WELCHIS REFERENCE to statements by state officials apparently referred in part to Mosk who has been quoted as saying that on the basis of reports to him, "I would consider it to be clearly subversive in nature." He said the accusations against Eisenhower quoted to him "would constitute criminal libel under the laws of California."
