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.

tered Republican but switched
to the Democratic party in
1936.
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

, Albany - (CPD - The struggle
of millionaires Averell Harri-
man and Nelson A. 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-

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.

Righr-To-Work Issue Sidelines
All Other Issues in Ohio Vote
Columbus, Ohio (UPD An
increasingly bitter fight over
the right to work issue has
put everything else on the
sidelines in a rough and tum
ble Ohio election campaign.
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. He
