Biography

Joseph Lawrence Alioto was born February 12, 1916 in San Francisco to Giuseppe and Domenica Alioto. His father, a Sicilian imimgrant, was a successful San Francisco fish wholesaler. Alioto graduated Magna Cum Laude from St. Mary's College, Moraga, California, in 1937 where he was student body president and valedictorian. In 1940, he graduated Catholic University of America Law School, Washington D.C. He received honorary Doctor of Law degrees from St. Mary's College, Santa Clara University and Catholic University of America.
Married to the former Angelina Genaro from 1941 to 1977, he had six children with her. In 1978, he married Kathleen Sullivan and had two children with her. He was a philanthropist and patron of the opera, symphony, ballet and theatre as well as a fan of the 49ers and Giants.
Prior to taking public office, Alioto made a name for himself in antitrust law and was a self-made millionaire. He worked five years with the antitrust division of the United States Department of Justice before opening his own law firm in San Francisco in 1945. His practice would establish basic principles for the prosecution of private antitrust suits. In 1959, Alioto took over the Rice Growers' Association of California and ran it for 16 years. He was also a founding member and Chairman of the Board of First San Francisco Bank.
Appointed to the San Francisco Board of Education by Mayor Elmer E. Robinson in 1948, Alioto served five years. In 1955, Robinson appointed Alioto to the Redevelopment Agency which he chaired. By this time, he was active in Democratic Party politics. In 1956, he helped develop the Food for Peace Program of the U.S. Senate. In 1959, he was appointed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to conduct a major survey of farm production and marketing in South America.
After a whirlwind, 56-day campaign, Joseph L. Alioto was elected San Francisco's 33rd Mayor on Nov. 7, 1967 and was inaugurated Jan. 8, 1968 with much fanfare. (His designation as 33rd mayor changed to that of 36th mayor as a result of official recognition of three additional administrations.) A moderate Democrat who reflected the tolerance of the city, he was easily re-elected in November, 1971. At one time considered as Hubert H. Humphrey's vice presidential running mate, Alioto catapulted into the national spotlight with his nomination of Humphrey as the party's presidential candidate at the 1968 Democratic National Convention. While serving as mayor, he explored a gubernatorial run in 1969, and ran unsuccessfully for governor of California in 1974. Alioto was known as charming and commanding, articulate and outspoken, flamboyant and rich in personality.
Alioto's administration spearheaded economic development and jobs including a building boom, an increased police force, and a mini-park program. Although known for downtown growth, his administration also stopped freeway development, established the 40-foot height ordinance, and adopted the first urban design plan, which was aimed at protecting views and open spaces. Elected on a promise of reducing crime and taxes, Alioto took office when racial tensions were high, following the "Summer of Love." Credited with being a strong advocate of civil rights, he brought minorities into city politics. Alioto called upon the city's heavyweights of intellect, commerce, and labor to serve as deputies and advisors. He launched charter reform and mediated numerous major labor disputes, including the police and fire strike of 1975. While he lowered the property tax rate three years in a row, his years in office were marked by both inflation and recession. Political strife during his tenure included opposition to redevelopment by low-income housing and anti-high-rise proponents, the strike at San Francisco State College, hippies occupying the Haight-Ashbury, anti-war demonstrations in the streets, and racial tensions over a series of killings known as the Zebra murders.
Alioto's political career was affected by federal charges of bribery and mail fraud in 1971, and allegations of Mafia connections published in Look Magazine in 1969. He claimed the federal Grand Jury investigation into the bribery charges was politically inspired by those trying to foil his growing prominence. He successfully fought both the civil and criminal bribery charges regarding a fee kickback, and won his libel suit against the publishers of Look Magazine after seven years of litigation. In 1975, Alioto lost a conflict-of-interest trial for arranging his family's purchase of Pacific Far East Line, the largest port tenant.
Upon completing his second term in January 1976, Alioto returned to his private law practice, Alioto & Alioto. In 1992, the law firm dissolved in a family feud although his daughter, Angela Alioto, continued to practice with him. Joseph L. Alioto died on January 29, 1998, in San Francisco at the age of 81.

Scope and Contents

This collection documents the two-term administration of Mayor Joseph L. Alioto during the years of 1968 to 1976, with the bulk of the collection covering the years 1968 to 1974. Reflected in the collection is the mayor's trust in his deputies, which included a former White House fellow, former staff member of the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development, and a Democratic Party operative, as well as in other key strategists and advisors including business, labor and community leaders.
Materials include internal and constituent correspondence, reports, surveys, minutes, strategy and policy memoranda and notes, speeches and drafts, press releases, campaign ephemera, and reference material. Subjects include the Black Panthers, building a downtown stadium, San Francisco State University unrest, the 1975 police and fire strike, school busing, taxes, salary standardization, and revenue sharing. The collection provides a broad, policy-level view of the Alioto years. The collection is rich in housing and redevelopment files, reflecting the federal subsidies received while Lyndon B. Johnson was in the White House, as well as community resistance to redevelopment.
Staff included four deputies (executive secretary, press/confidential secretary, development, and social programs); a public service director, assistant deputies (development and social programs), and a special assistant. At least two staffers left City Hall to work on Alioto's 1971 re-election and 1974 gubernatorial campaigns, with one of them later returning to his administration. See Appendix for a list of administration members and dates of their employment.
Materials were added (in 2021) to Subseries 2C, John H. Anderson; Subseries 2E, Public Service Director; and Series 6, Constituent Correspondence. These documents span 1968-1975, with the bulk dating 1974-1975.
Some gaps exist in the collection. There is little relating to Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART), which saw completion of the transbay tube in 1974; the 1972 Market Street facelift; the 40-foot height limit ordinance; and the Urban Design Study and Plan. Records documenting the final two years of Alioto's administration consist of press releases and constituent correspondence.

Organization

The collection is organized into six series: Series 1. Biographical and Office Re-organization; Series 2. Legislative and Issue Files; Series 3. Press and Speeches; Series 4. Schedule; Series 5. Campaigns and Politics; and Series 6. Constituent Correspondence.
The Legislative and Issues Files series has been further organized into subseries by staff member. The Public Service Director subseries has been further organized by the two staff people serving in that role. The Press and Speeches series has been organized into subseries by format.

Arrangement

The collection is mostly arranged alphabetically by subject.

Conservation Note

During processing, the entire collection was refoldered and re-housed in acid-free folders and boxes. Some metal staples remain. Some documents on acidic or thermal paper were photocopied onto Permalife bond paper. After this process, originals were discarded. Other documents on acidic paper were kept in their original state and separated with either Permalife bond or Apollo buffered paper. Fabric items were wrapped in buffered tissue.

Separated Materials

Photographs were removed to the San Francisco Historical Photograph Collection, Alioto Box 20.

Materials Removed from Collection

Approximately twenty 19th-century letters and invoices or ledger sheets, belonging to a John Joseph Martone and originally belonging to a Malcom McNeill of Christian County, Kentucky, were transferred to Special Collections and Archives, University of Kentucky.

Subseries 2A. John A. De Luca, 1967-1975

Physical Description: 7.25 cubic ft.

Scope and Contents

John A. De Luca was Alioto's executive secretary. Known as a pragmatist, the former White House Fellow served as the mayor's chief of staff and maintained the bulk of this series' files. Missing are De Luca's files from 1974 to 1976. Originally organized in two-year increments by subject, this subseries is now organized by subject, maintaining the file dates. This subseries provides a broad policy-level view. Included are files on the budget, school busing, the Fuhrman bequest, Hunters Point Naval Shipyard, taxes, housing and redevelopment, and revenue sharing. Also included are files of correspondence from key advisors.
Highlights include files on the port whose authority was transferred from the state to the city in 1969. During the Alioto years, the port was targeted for development. Within the 1973-1974 labor files is a letter stating Alioto's views on forced work programs for welfare recipients. Interoffice memoranda files cover numerous topics including Municipal Railway subway construction, Youth Guidance Center (YGC) conditions as described by a former YGC counselor, taxes, and Yerba Buena Center development. In the Model Cities files is a 1973 report of the district attorney's investigation of the Bayview-Hunters Point Model Cities program. Another district attorney document (in the Conflict of Interest file) concludes the Pacific Far East Lines matter constituted a conflict of interest for the mayor.

Subseries 2B. John H. Tolan, Jr. and Wesley Slade, 1967-1975

Physical Description: 3.4 cubic ft.

Scope and Contents

John H. (Jack) Tolan was Deputy for Development. He previously worked for the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Wesley Slade served as Special Assistant for Housing and Relocation. Under Alioto, Tolan oversaw HUD-funded programs including Federally Assisted Code Enforcement (FACE), Model Cities, and Workable Program. This subseries focuses on these programs, especially in communications with HUD, the city's Housing Authority, and Redevelopment Agency. Some documents are related to individuals and neighborhoods affected by these programs such as the Western Addition and Yerba Buena areas. Included are case files of individuals relocated due to code enforcement.
Beginning in 1967, FACE provided concentrated code enforcement, rehabilitation grants and low-interest rehabilitation loans. Model Cities was a federal experiment in urban affairs which allowed cities to design their own comprehensive development plans for blighted neighborhoods. Workable Program was an ongoing recertification process required of HUD-funded cities. These federal subsidies were superceded by community development block grant funding in 1974.
Included in this subseries is a draft and final policy statement on Central Relocation Services, court documents of suits opposing redevelopment, a Filipino community report, and a general revenue sharing preliminary report. Highlights include a letter from the Family Service Agency concerning International Hotel residents; Hunters Point Model Cities plans; a Human Rights Commission resolution, "For a Turning Point in the Housing Crisis;" an editorial on the loss of the white, middle class (in the Maremont folder); and a 1969 regional housing policy study on a southern Bay crossing. Missing are Tolan's files from 1974 to 1976.
Some documents with personal information in Box 8, Folder 41, and Box 9, Folders 2, 4, and 5, were made accessible in 2021.

Physical Description: 1.74 cubic ft.

Scope and Contents

John H. Anderson served as Assistant Deputy for Development until 1973. A holdover from Mayor John Shelley's administration, Anderson was key in the city's applications to HUD for Model Cities funding and Workable Program recertification. This subseries focuses on the Workable Program and citizen input to redevelopment and housing policy. Of note are waterfront and port files and a "Shame of San Francisco" report by Workable Program critics. Missing are Anderson's files from 1972 to 1973, and those of his successor, Stanley R. Larsen, from 1973 to 1976. Some materials were received from Anderson's daughter (in 2020) and incorporated.

William C. Roddy, 1968-1976

Physical Description: 4.78 cubic ft.

Scope and Contents

William C. Roddy was Public Service Director until 1974, when he became a Special Assistant to the Mayor to handle promotion of the Cable Car Centennial Medal. This subseries has departmental and constituent corresponce covering complaints and requests for information including public housing. Also included are communications with American and foreign officials as well as reports from the state legislative advocate. The special events files cover celebrations and mayoral greetings and proclamations. There is little documentation of Roddy's service from 1974 to 1975.
Of particular interest are court documents and clippings from the first two libel trials against Look Magazine. Alioto sued the magazine's publisher over its Sept. 23, 1969 article alleging Alioto had ties to organized crime. (Alioto eventually prevailed in court.)
Some additional materials including requests for keys to the City were added to the end of this subseries.

Subseries 3A. Hadley R. Roff, 1967-1971

Physical Description: 2.84 cubic ft.

Scope and Contents

Hadley R. Roff served as press secretary/confidential secretary until 1971, when he joined Alioto's re-election campaign. Known as a problem-solver, the former newspaperman worked for a series of national politicians before joining the Alioto administration. His files include background information and draft speeches. This subseries is rich in issues, including files on the Black Panthers, San Francisco State College unrest, school busing, the Chinese community, housing, the Kingston-Stadium study, tax reform, Third World demands at Mission High School, the Embarcadero Freeway, and Governor Ronald Reagan.
Highlights include speeches regarding the 1970 city employees' strike. A 1967 Human Rights Commission Report discusses the lack of low and middle-income housing, loss of blue-collar job opportunities, and increased racial imbalance in schools. Also covered are (1969) discussions regarding an incendiary meeting on busing and integration (in Board of Education and Human Rights Commission folders). Missing are files of Roff's successor, Thomas G. Flynn, from 1971 to 1974, as well as those of speechwriter, James B. Burleson, from 1973 forward.
The names of minors have been redacted in police reports in Box 16, Folders 12 and 32.

This subseries contains the mayor's public statements, speeches, and press releases. It includes annual budget and State of the City messages, inaugural addresses, and statements on housing, general revenue sharing and the Look Magazine controversy.

Subseries 3C. News Clippings, 1967-1977

Physical Description: 6 cubic ft.

Scope and Contents

This subseries contains scrapbooks of Alioto news clippings from 1967 to 1969. Of particular interest is a scrapbook covering the civil and criminal bribery and mail fraud (fee-splitting) cases against Alioto, as well as libel suits brought by Alioto against Look Magazine. (Alioto prevailed in both the bribery and mail fraud cases and in the final Look Magazine trial.) There is little from 1969 to 1976. It is unclear who collected the news clippings.

Series 5. Campaigns and Politics, 1967-1976

Physical Description: 2 cubic ft. plus 1 map folder

Scope and Contents

This series contains material from Alioto's campaigns for mayor and governor; his endorsements of San Francisco Propositions A (1968) and B (1969); and the Humphrey-Muskie campaign. Files on Alioto's personal campaigns are followed by those of campaigns he supported. Within the news clippings are articles discussing conflict of interest over Alioto family members' ownership of Pacific Far East Line. There is little from his first mayoral campaign. Of interest are re-election strategy memoranda on busing and the Mission District; folders on Alioto's withdrawal from the governor's race in 1970; the 1973 letter declaring his run for governor; and a 1974 message from the People's Temple assuring the delivery of 17,000 votes for his gubernatorial run.
