COMMENTS
a(n,m) = R_n^m(a=0, b=6) in the notation of the given 1961 and 1962 references.
a(n,m) is a Jabotinsky matrix, i.e., the monic row polynomials E(n,x) := Sum_{m=1..n} a(n,m)*x^m = Product_{j=0..n-1} (x-6*j), n >= 1, and E(0,x) := 1 are exponential convolution polynomials (see A039692 for the definition and a Knuth reference).
This is the signed Stirling1 triangle A008275 with diagonal d >= 0 (main diagonal d = 0) scaled with 6^d.

FORMULA
a(n, m) = a(n-1, m-1) - 6*(n-1)*a(n-1, m), n >= m >= 1; a(n, m) := 0, n < m; a(n, 0) := 0 for n >= 1; a(0, 0) = 1.
E.g.f. for the m-th column of the signed triangle: (log(1 + 6*x)/6)^m)/m!.
a(n, m) = S1(n, m)*6^(n-m), with S1(n, m) := A008275(n, m) (signed Stirling1 triangle).
EXAMPLE
Triangle a(n,m) (with rows n >= 1 and columns m = 1..n) begins:
1;
-6, 1;
72, -18, 1;
-1296, 396, -36, 1;
31104, -10800, 1260, -60, 1;
-933120, 355104, -48600, 3060, -90, 1;
...
3rd row o.g.f.: E(3,x) = 72*x - 18*x^2 + x^3.
