Knowland's bid for the California governor ship today had the blessing of Vice President Richard M. Nixon. Nixon, in warmly endors ing Knowland, predicted the Republican leader would pull in 'thousands" of Democratic votes. Nixon's pat on the back came just four days after Knowland called the vice president the only "major" GOP candidate for President in 1960. The vice president sent his special message of endorse ment to a campaign picnic honoring Knowland at River side, Calif., Sunday. Praises Nixon Last Thursday, Knowland praised the vice president and his wife for handling "them selves extremely well under the most trying circum stances" in Latin America. He said he thought Nixon was "the leading contender for the presidency and so far as I can see he is the only ma jor candidate on the Republi can ticket." Knowland, regarded as the successor to the late Robert A. Taft of Ohio as leader of the GOP right wing, is retir ing from the Senate to run for governor of California. De spite denials by Knowland, political foes have said he plans to use the governorship as a stepping stone to the White House in 1960. Could Wait Knowland is only 50, how ever, and political pundits generally agree he could wait until 1964 or even 1968 to make any presidential bid. A final decision on timing would depend on the outcome of Nixon's almost certain presidential bid in 1960. In his message to Know land, Nixon said "the contest for governor in California will have great national sig nificance." ... "It is more than just a con test between Democrats and Republicans," Nixon said. "Bill Knowland will receive the support of thousands of Democrats who admire and respect a man who refuses to knuckle down to any pressure group regardless of the politi cal consequences." Stays On Job The vice president said that "because he has stayed on the job in Washington, Bill Know- land has not been able to spend as much time cam paigning, as has his oppon ent," Attorney General Ed mund G. Brown. However, Nixon said, "in the end this very dedication to duty will prove to be an asset as he leads the Repub lican ticket to a smashing vic tory in November." "As a Californian, I am proud to be able to work and vote for a man who in every respect will be worthy to lead our state into the exciting era in which it will become the first state in the nation," Nix on said.

By ROBERT L. ROONEY London (UPI) For al most 10 years the crowded skies over Western Europe have been free of the deadly in-flight collisions that have been plaguing America. Western Europe"s airways are filled with planes that land and take off an estimat ed 4,500 times daily, yet the last aerial collision involving a commercial ' plane took place over England in 1949. This is a remarkable rec ord, European aviation ex perts say, considering that these ; thousands of daily flights criss-cross an area a third the size of the United States. They point out, however, that in some ways Europe's smaller air space may be an advantage. It is on long flights with no stops that a pilot's atten tion is most likely to wand er. ' In Europe the shorter hons keep the planes under - tower control ior relatively longer periods of time. Truman Sails for Southern Europe New York (UPI) Former President Truman sailed for southern Europe today but was not quite sure he would ! even get off the luxury liner Independence if the situation i in France worsens, j Truman said he was keep ing his eye on France and North Africa, but thought it best not to say what he thought U.S. policy regarding the crisis there should be. "I don't know all the facts," he said. "Our foreign policy is the business of the Presi dent and anyway 'partisanship should end at the water's edge." The former . President said he was carrying along with him some volumes on Andrew Johnson and Benjamin Frank lin and former President Hoover's new book, "The Or deal of Woodrow Wilson." "I. have only read a little of Mr. Hoover's book," Tru man said, "and so far I find it very good." Truman said that if things quiet down in France, he and Mrs. Truman might get off the ship at Cannes. Otherwise, "we'll just make the round trip of 20 days and relax." One purpose of the trip, he said, was to build up strength and "get in shape for the con gressional elections this fall."

TWIN PLUNGES ASHLAND already new MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, ope. It is the great number of individually owned private craft that fill the air in the United States. This is a problem not faced by the users of London's giant airport where more than 300 planes may take to the air in one day. A spokesman for the Brit ish Airline Pilot's association said "this is a particularly American problem. We . are not rich enough to have it." The secret of avoiding in flight accidents, he said, is in navigational controls, includ ing radar, properly used. ' Agreement between , civil aviation authorities and mili tary leaders regarding who flies where also helps. Eng land, France and Switzerland have all recently taken steps toward consolidating mili tary-civilian traffic. Speaking of today's high jet speeds the British Airlines Pilot's association spokesman pointed out, "we train our men not- to rely on their eyes. "After all; they are not much good when planes have more than 1,000 mile-per-hour closing speed. "The man on the ground with the instruments is the, real answer. The safest place is in close to the airport. That is where you are alert, and most important, know where everybody else is." He said that this was one reason why most of the "near misses," of Europe's airways occurred during the day and in clear weather. "Someone was not paying attention to instruments," he said. The men who control Eur ope's airways are vitally in terested in the current Amer ican "air space" problem. ' "We must find a way to solve the problems America is now facing particularly that of private planes : be fore they become our own," one Said. Funeral Flowers T one!
