Knight Would Head
Presidential Ticket
In California
Sacramento, Calif. U.R) If
President Eisenhower does not
run again, Gov. Goodwin J.
Knight said today he will head
up a favorite son ticket in the
California presidential primary
next June even if Vice-President
Richard M. Nixon files a com
peting slate.
At an interview marking the
start of his third year in office
as governor, Knight made it
clear that he expects to control
the 70-vote California delegation
next year regardless of anything
Nixon does.
At Political Odds
Knight and Nixon, both Cali
fornians, have been at political
odds for years and the governor
has never endorsed Nixon for
reelection other than to say that
"If Ike wants him;' that's all
right with me."
Asked if his plans to run as
a favorite son presidential can
didate would be changed in any
way by the possible filing of a
Nixon for President ticket in
California, Knight said:
"Not in the slighest. We are
going all the way regardless of
what Mr. Nixon does."
The governor stressed, how
ever, that he is for Mr. Eisen
hower "first and foremost" and
that if the President runs again,
Knight expects to head up a
delegation pledged to Mr. Eisen
hower's reelection.
Greater Floods
Threaten Texas;
Many Flee Homes
By UNITED PRESS
Rain-swollen flood waters
drove 500 persons from their
homes in Wichita Falls, Tex., to
day and even greater floods
threatened to spill out of the ris
ing Red river.
To the south, meanwhile, the
disaster at flood-devastated Tam
pico, Mexico, mounted. Fourteen
U S. Navy helicopters flew hun
dreds of persons from a tiny
island in the heart of the city.
But there were 60,000 persons
in the area and the waters were
rising.
. Rains in this country contin
ued from the Mississippi Valley
to Central Oklahoma and spread
over most of the Great Lakes re
gion today. The heaviest recent
rains included 1.99 inches at Ho
bart, Okla., and 1.50 inches at
Lawton, Okla.
The autumn rains had already
done their flooding work at
Wichita Falls, where water spill
ed over the banks of Holiday
creek and spread over 100 resi
dential blocks.
The creek, fed by swollen
Lake. Wichita, rose steadily and
was expected to reach a 21.22
crest today. It was 'the highest
flood stage since 1950 and water
already stood seven feet deep on
two golf courses.
On the Red river, the princi
pal boundary between Texas and
Oklahoma, the water was run
ning 18 feet deep and rose 11
inches within three hours. Worse
floods could follow if the river
keeps rising and thus turns back
the runoff from the swollen
Wichita river.
More flooding was feared in
Oklahoma along the Wasita river
from Clinton to Carnegie.

increase for 45,000 members

for yard brakemen and 82 cents

U of 0 Develops Sun Tan Pill
Portland (U.R) A pill which
if used properly will help per
sons get a sun tan but if used
improperly will lead to a sun
burn has been developed by Uni
versity of Oregon medical school
researchers, it was announced
today.
The pill contains a drug call
ed 8 methoxpsolaren (8-MOP).
Researchers said the drug in
creases a persons tanning ability
and therefore the tolerance of
the skin to direct exposure to
sunlight
Several persons who took va
cations in the Caribbean last
year reported getting good sun
tans after taking the pills, the
medical school said.
Doctors said the discovery was
made when treating patients suf
fering from vitiligo, a disease
which disfigures the skin with
white blotches. They said how
ever, that general uses of the
drug obtainable only by pre-
s
scription was not recommended
at present. . . j
Doctors said the drug must be
taken in careful, controlled,
amounts and exposure must be
limited during the first few days..
