California polls showed Knowland running behind Democrat Pat Brown (TIME, Sept. 15) for Governor 38% to 62%. Similarly, Goodie Knight lagged in Engle's rear, 41% to 59%.

House Speaker Sam Rayburn, a Texas Democrat who had spent years trying to make the Democratic tent big enough for both North and South, refused to discuss segregation ("I don't think it would be helpful to talk about it"), attempted to turn the anger of 800 fund-raising Democrats against Republicans.

I am an old-line Democrat...
