ABOVE PICTURED is the logging truck and trailer which, spelled death late Friday
morning for Harold F. Wilder, 24, of Klamath Falls. Wilder, the operator of the rig,
was killed instantly when his body was crushed by the overturned trailer loaded with
logs. There were no witnesses to the Round Lake Road accident. State police believe
that the brakes went but on the equipment and that Wilder was crushed by the trailer
after jumping from the truck. Another speculation is .that Wilder was adjusting the
chains on the log load, that the truck began rolling, and that the logs came loose and
crushed him. Shown inspecting the overturned trailer are Deputy Sheriff Del Summers,
left, and Officer Leland Moeller of the state police.

California's outgoing governor

ate with a cheerfulness that's
hard to find among Republican
candidates after what happened in
last Tuesday's primary.
1 love a tight. 1 love a real
battle," he says.
Well, he has one on his hands-
written in the huge vote rolled up
by his Democratic opponent. Rep
Clair Engle of Red Bluff, and the
entire Democratic ticket.
Knight defeated Mavor George
Christopher of San Francisco for
the Republican nomination by
356,000. Engle outpolled Knight in
the popular vote by 525,000. Each
ran on both tickets, permitted un
der California's cross-filing system.
Knight showed anything but dis
may when he returned to his
statehouse office from a month
long campaign. He greeted his
staff with the little tap dance that

high spirits.
I feel fine, he told a reporter
later. "I feel very optimistic. I've
got a wonderful new (campaign)
manager and a wonderful new set
up all the way around. I ll win
this fight."
The 61-year-old governor noted
that his combined vote, together
wnn ennstopner s, topped En-
gle's two-party total by 256,000
Engle was unopposed within his
own party.
Knight s campaign aides take it
that he'll receive most ,of the
561.000 Republican votes for Chris-
topher; that he'll get at least an
even break with Engle on Chris-
topner s 220,000 Democratic votes
I shall put on a vigorous, and
a very searching and interesting
campaign, Knignt told his inter
viewer.
Knight's career is streaked with
good luck and good timing. En
gle s challenge in the November
election confronts Knight with the
Urst really serious contest of his
22 years in public life.
A Los Angeles Superior Court
judge for 11 years, Knight stepped

Knight breezy, talkative and
amiable said when he first took
office he'd have a good time be
ing governor.
'You don't have to go around
with grim pomposity." he once re
marked. He tells lots of jokes and
once expertedly traded witticisms
with Jack Benny on the latter s
television program.
It's this informal approach, plus
continuance of most of Earl War
ren's election-tested policies, that
gave "Goodie" Knight his election
appeal among Democrats, who1
outnumber Republicans by close
to a million.
Knight has received active cam
paigning help from his attractive,
40-year-old second wife, who

wife, mother of his two daughter!,
