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.
