o o o Knight Pressured By GOP 'Kingmakers,' California Democrat Candidate Ciaims Washington (Ut The Demo cratic candidate for governor of California said today Republican "kingmakers" had pressured Gov. Goodwin J. Knight out of running for reelection. The Democrat, Attorney Gen eral Edmund G. Brown, predict ed that Californians will resent the "deal" between Knight and Sen. William F. Knowland to try to swap seats. As a result, he said, he and other Democrats will make a clean sweep in the elections next year. Brown predicted that Mayor George Christopher of San Fran cisco, an announced GOP candi date for the Senate, will . be "pressured out" of running "by the same people who worked Knight over." Brown di not identify the "kingmakers he said were in volved in the Knight - Know- land situation. But Democratic National Chairman Paul M. But ler said Vice President Richard M. Nixon was the ultimate bene factor. If Knowland and Knight .re defeated, Butler said, it would "leave only one big frog in the California Republican pond in 1960 the sly Mr. Nixon." Say Democrats Helped Brown said in reply to ques rtions that he does not feel that hi3 chances for the governorship were weakened by Knight's de cision to bow out in favor of Knowland. "On the coftrary," he said, "L think the Democratic position is much stronger because all these Republican shenanigans have been brought out into the open. What happened to Knight gives us a new issue." Brown said he has heard a rumor from a "prominent Repub lican in California" that part of the Knight-Knowland "deal" calls for Knowland to resign his Senate seat after next June's pri mary. Knight then could be ap pointed, giving him a chance to build up seniority and enhance his chances in the fall election. According to the report, Brown sagl, Lt. Gov. Harold (Butch) Powers would take over as governor and swear Knight in as Senator. Asked for comment on results of Tuesday's election in Virginia and New Jersey, in whichPDemo cratic candidates won easily, Brown said they were "a very definitfrjindication that the peo ple are completely disenchanted with the Republican administra tion and are frightened by the lack of GOP leadership." Say Knight Not 111 Butler said Tuesday night, after Knight bowed out of the fight with Knowland for the GOP nomination; that Nixon had "engineered" the maneuver. He said it is part of a campaign to enact a "right to work" law in California. Butler said it has probably "occurred" to Nixon that Demo crats might win both contests, making him the "big frog." Knight's executive secretary, Newton Stearns, was busy deny ing reports that the governor's health prompted him to step out of a knock-down drag-out fight with Knowland. Knight has un dergone major intestinal surgery and recently suffered a bout with the flu. "That is not true," Stearns said. "There's nothing seriously wrong with the governor's health." Stearns said that Knight, who interrupted an Arizona vacation to come here for the announce ment, had "quite a bout with the flu and has been under a heavy workload and other pressures." "But his decision to run for the Senate had nothing to do with his health. I'm sure the demands of being a senator are no less than those of being gov ernor," he said. Stearns said Knight will not return to Arizona immediately as originally planned. He said the governor would spend two or three days in New York and then spend another 10 days at an undisclosed vacation spot be fore returning to California. Republicans Madded Setbacks By fff-Year Election Returns Washington (W Election re turns from New Jersey, Virginia and New York City added up today to another political set back for President Eisenhower and the GOP. For the Democrats, the re election of Gov. Robert B. Mey ner in New Jersey projected a new glamor boy into the array of potentential candidates for the 1960 presidential nomina tion. This was a real defeat for the administration, which had gone all out in support for Re publican Malcolm S. Forbes. But in Virginia, the National Democratic party could draw lit tle more comfort than the GOP over the fact that the Democratic candidate for governor won more easily than in 1953. The Democratic campaign there was keyed to massive resistance to racial integration in schools and was a reminder that the Demo cratic family quarrel over the civil rights issue can only be come more intense. On that issue, Gov.-elect J. Lindsay Almond Jr. in Virginia had nothing in common with Meyner or Mayor Robert F. Wagner Jr. of New York City, who typify the northern Demo cratic position in support of a strong civil right program. Wagner Wins 3-io-l Wagner, son of the late new deal senator, was reelected on Tuesday when he overwhelmed Republican Robert K. Christen berry by a 3-to-l margin. He pol led the largest plurality ever giv en a mayoral candidate in New York City. In Tuesday's scattered off-year elections, the Republicans had to settle for what satisfaction tney could get out of victories in two special congressional el ections to fill vacancies in the House. These elections were in the Atlantic City district in New Jersey and a Philadelphia sub urban district in Pennsylvania. There was no significant depar ture from the normal voting pat tern in the two districts, which have been heavily Republican in recent elections. President Eisenhower gave his personal endorsement to Forbes, Christenberry and Ted Dalton, the GOP nominee for governor of Virginia. Only last week, the President said a Forbes victory would be a "great big shot in the arm" for Republicans still hurting from the unexpected loss of a Wisconsin Senate seat in a special election in August. Nixon Spoke for Forbes The Republican national head quarters threw everything they could into New Jersey. Vice President Richard M. Nixon British Plane Falls; No Survivors Known: Bristol, England flP) A four engined Bristol Britannia turbo prop airliner crashed today in a field just 100 yards from a school with nearly 500 students. Witnesses said the plane burst into flames. A Bristol ambulance official said 15 persons were aboard the "whispering giant" aircraft. A spokesman for the Bristol Aircraft company supported this statement. He added: "We do not believe there were any sur vivors." Earlier, the Bristol ambulance brigade had reported that there were seven dead. A Gloucestershire ambulance official said there were no sur vivors. Bristol Dolice said only that "we understand there were some casualties among the crew." The airliner was on a test flight when it -crashed about four miles from Bristol's Filton airport, narrowly missing the Oldbury Court school. headed the list of visiting cam paigners. f But nearly complete returns indicated that the hand some Meyner had won by a mar gin greater than his 150,000 plur ality of four years ago. The Eisenhower prestige was at stake in a different way in Virginia. Sen. Harry F. Byrd, leader of the Conservative state Democratic organization and the erstwhile friend, of the Eisen hower administration, personally led his troops into the battle. He wanted an unmistakable showing of Southern white op position to school integration and to the President's use of federal troops in the Little Rock, Ark., school case. ' Dalton, who polled a surpris ing 45 per cent of the vote in the same contest four years ago, received about 36 per cent of Tuesday's record vote. He also campaigned to preserve segregat ed schools but favored a plan which would permit token inte gration. In big city elections Tuesday, David L. Lawrence was elected to a fourth term as Democratic mayor of Pittsburgh. Democrats also won mayoral elections in Buffalo and Albany, N.Y., Louis ville, Wy,; New Haven and Bridgeport, Conn., and Paterson, N.J.
