6 MAIL TRIBUNE, MtdforJ, Oregon, Mfiy, October 27, 1938 jSalKomiaNev York Nov. -4 Sacramento, Calif. - (CPA - The story of the gubernatorial election in California is the tale of two men and one issue The contenders are William Fife Knowland, "Mr. Republi can" of the U. S. Senate, and Edmund G. (Pat) grown, the state's attorney general and only Democrat holding a high ranking office in California Both are seeking the office of governor, a post held by Republicans for the past 16 years. The one' issue which finds the two candidates poles apart is the so-called right-to-work measure on the November ballot. It is a proposed con- ititutional amendment which would ban requiring a work er to belong to a labor union in order to hold his job. Knowland is heartily in fa vor -of right-to-work. Brown, backed by the American Fed eration of Labor, is against it and calls it "right-to-wreck" labor unicfcis. Much of Knowland's cam paign in the nation's second largest state has been based on his eight-point program for union democracy and his ad- . vocacy of right-to-work. 'Stepping Slone Brown has accused Know- land of seeking the governor ship as a "stepping stone to the White House" and says: "(Right-to-work) is a slick slogan for a sly Senator ap parently willing, under the pressure of his own ambition, to try to divide our state and disrupt our economy at a time when there is general labor management peace in Califor nia." But the gubernatorial pic ture isn't as clearly defined as all that. Two other men are deeply involved Repub lican Gov. Goodwin J. Knight and Vice President Richard M. Nixon. Knight wanted to run for reelection but was talked out of it by the White House and accepted nomination to the U. S. Senate instead. But de spite Nixon's attempts to re store order to his own state's GOP affairs, Knight is still bitter about Knowland. He is firmly opposed to right to work and has refused to endorse the Senator for governor. Meanwhile, Nixon is caught In the middle. A sharp Repub lican defeat on Nov. 4 would injure his chances for the GOP presidential nomination in 1960. But a victory for Knowland could make him Nixon's competitor for the nomination.

Knowland, 50, is the Repub lican leader of the Senate, a post he inherited when Sen, Robert A. Taft died. He was first appointed to the Senate in 1945 by Gov. Earl Warren. Knowland never has flatly denied he is interested in be coming the Republican candi date for President - although he has said he would serve out his full four-year term as governor if elected. That would all but eliminate him from the presidential race in 1960 - but it wouldn't rule him out in 1964. Knowland will have to come from behind to win in November. In a "popularity contest" primary election in June, Brown polled almost 700,000 more votes than he did. Sharing interest with the Brown-Knowland battle and the right-towork issue is the contest for Knowland's sen ate seat between Knight and Democratic C o n g r e s sman Clair Engle.

Rocke feller for the governorship of New York the nation's most foremost stepping-stone to the presidency - rates as a popu larity contest that could be close. For lack of issues, the lean graying patrician governor, heir to a railroad empire, and Rockefeller, the square-jawed w a v y-haired boyish-looking member of an oil dynasty, have matched ability at chuck ing children under the chin, sympathizing with house wives over food prices and ex changing pleasantries with factory workers in every cor ner of the Empire State, in cluding some that hadn't seen a candidate for high office in years. Should Harriman, 66, win a second term decisively, most people believe he would try for a third time in 1960 to win the Democratic presidential nomination. If the 50-year-old Rockefeller should win, many feel he would occupy a place second only to Vice President Richard M. Nixon as a po tential GOP nominee for President. A few months ago hardly anybody thought that Harri man, an incumbent governor with a generally good record, would have much trouble im proving on the 11,000-vote ma jority that won him office in 1954. Becomes Race But the emergence of Rockefeller as a fresh new political personality, an inept performance by the Demo crats at their nominating con vention that allowed the GOP to raise the charge of bossism and easing of the recession combined to turn the election into a horse race. Republicans were parti cularly quick, to capitalize on the Democratic convention. There, Carmine G. De Sapio, leader of "Tammany Hall,' put over the nomination of New York County District At torney Frank S. Hogan for U.S. Senator despite Harri- man's opposition. Nevertheless, such diverse items as cheese blintzes, hula hoops, beanies and ancient au tomobiles have grabbed the headlines from the campaign speeches. The gregarious and ener getic Rockefellr, making his first try at elective office after holding administrative jobs in three national administra tions, has eaten blintzes in a Lower East Side New York delicatessen, has driven a harness horse at a rural county fair, posed for pictures manipulating a hula hoop and has led a motorcade at the tiller of a 1901 Oldsmobile which he had to get out and push occasionally. Never Let Up - Harriman, tall, athletic and looking 10 years younger than his age, started handshaking four years ago and has never let up. Less of a mixer than Rockefeller; whom he regards as an old family friend, Har riman has nevertheless shaken more hands, made his ear more available to more peo ple and has appeared at more ceremonies in more sections of the state than any recent governor. Leaning heavily on the give 'em hell' tactics of form er President Truman, Harri man has called Rockefeller a 'me too" candidate who would be a "prisoner" of the GOP Old Guard and a "tool" of special interests. He has taken credit for achieving, despite" a traditionally Re publican legislature, the most extensive highway program in the state's history, the high est state aid to schools ever, new mental hospitals, new programs for the aging and new protection for consumers. 'Soft Sell' Although Rockefeller went through a "tought-talk" phase during ; his campaign, he specialized in the "soft sell." He accused Harriman" of raising taxes, mismanaging fi nances, "fumbling away" the state's economic leadership, allowing organized crime to operate ; without state inter ference and with having dis- Daily's U-Drive Medford Airport Oirob Flier Completes World Journey New York-tUPD-Airline Capt. Charles F. Banfe Jr., com pleted a round-the-world flight in a single-engine air plane Sunday almost 42 days behind the trail-blazing rec ord time set in 1933 by the late Wiley Post. Banfe stumbled dog - tired and red-eyed out of his orange and black "Wings for. Peace' at Idlewild Airport at 9:28 a.m. Sunday. He said he was a "physical wreck." , "Boy, am I glad to be back," he said. "There were a thousand times when I thought I would never see this airport again." Banfe, a Pan American World Airways pilot on leave, took off from Idlewild Sept. 6 in his 180 horsepower Moo ney Mark 20A low-wing mono plane. He hoped to go around the world in eight days. But it took him a few min utes less than 50 days to fly a 22,000 mile course that was plagued by a crash-landing, on Corsica and 1 1 forced landings caused by engine trouble. Banfe lives with his wife and three children at Palo Alto, Calif. played either lack of courage or ignorance in permitting an "invasion" of state govern ment by Tammany. To win the election Harri man needs to pile up a ma jority of several hunderd thousand fii New York City to overcome the traditional GOP edge upstate, outside the city. There is speculation that the association of the Rockefeller name with good works among minority groups in the city may cost the Democrats votes there, but there is also an acknowledgement that Harri man's upstate strength is much more than four years ago. In the Senate race a Repub lican who had to be per suaded to run is campaigning against Hogan, the Democrat that some party leaders did not want. Centers on Methods No one is predicting the outcome of the fight for the seat being vacated by Irving Ives, a Republican who chose not to run again because of health. Battling to succeed him are Hogan, 56, and Republican Rep. Kenneth B. Keating, 58, of Rochester, two men with a common Irish ancestry but different religions. Keating is Protestant while Hogan is Ro man Catholic. The Keating-Hogan cam paign has centered principally on the methods by which each was chosen to run. Hogan has called Keating "the reluctant candidate," while Keating charged that Hogan was hand- picked by Tammany. Keating, ranking Republi can on the House Judiciary Committee, was reluctant to give up the seniority that came with 12 years of service in Congress. He gave in when Nixon telephoned him at the convention telling him that the President wanted him to run and presumably promising him some high Federal post if he is defeated.

The politicians, economic groups, church spokesmen, and major newspapers are split in their stand on the issue with both sides' having important support. Both camps have well-financed campaigns whose pub licity staffs turn out an end less barrage of charges and counter-charges. The issue has put the spot light on the governor's race where Republican Gov. C. William O'Neill has made support of the proposal the No. 1 issue in his campaign against Michael V. DiSalle. Newspaper pollsters are in the field as never before to check voter sentiment. They feel that Republican Sen. John W. Bricker will defeat Stephen Young, former four term congressman-at-large. The polls show that O'Neill is in trouble this year in his rematch with DiSalle. O'Neill beat DiSalle two years ago by 427,000 votes, the biggest margin ever scored by a can didate for governor in Ohio. This time the race is rated a tossup. The pollsters also rate the right to work question a toss-up. Record Turnout The spirited campaigns at all levels pushed voter regis tration, required in 23 of the state's 88 counties, to a record high. Secretary of State Ted W. Brown predicted 3,450,000 Ohioans would vote, a record for a non-presidential year. At stake this year, in addi tion to right to work and the senatorial and gubernatorial contests are almost all state offices and 23 seats in the House of Representatives Also more than half the state Legislature and endless hot local bond and tax issues. Organized labor has' tagged Ohio as the "real battle cround" of 1958 because Ohio Is the largest industrial state whpre the issue has gone to a vote. Union leaders, defeated in two major statewide cam paigns within eight years, are putting more fight into their camnaien aeainst RTW than they did in their losing drive against Republican Sen. Kod ert A. Taft in 1950. Both parties wanted to post pone a vote on the question until next year but the busi ness erouDS leading the fight for its approvc.1 went ahead with their plans. The issue is being submittted as an amend ment to the state constitution. If adopted, it would outlaw the union shop. ' Democrats put a plank in their state platform denounc ing the proposal. Republicans, under heavy pressure from congressional candidates m dustrial states, declared the issue non-partisan and left it to each candidate to take any stand he desired. Democratic Sen. Frank J. Lausche, who bucked Repub lican landslides to win five terms as governor of Ohio be fore his election to the Sen ate last year, is taking an ac tive role in the campaign.
