Said Modoc County Cattleman Harold J. ("Butch") Powers, incumbent Lieutenant governor who got the biggest vote (1,757,000) on the G.O.P. ticket: "Nobody that I know of has endorsed me, and I'm running independently." Even the low-lying Nixon forces were flirting with the idea of grabbing control of the November campaign from the Knowland-ites.

General Rojas lived in a modest rented house. In three years he has become a multimillionaire, the nation's No. 1 cattleman. As of last week, Rojas owned at least nine ranches and tens of thousands of cattle, all branded "13," the lucky date in June 1953 when he brought off a swift military coup and began hurrying along the highroad to wealth. Rojas has a fenced-off market for his beef...
