...WEDNESDAY NIGHT MOVIE (ABC, 9-11 p.m.). A. B. Guthrie's frontier saga, These Thousand Hills (1959), stars Don Murray, Lee Remick, Richard Egan and Stuart Whitman...

He was joined last week by incumbent Democrats in Alaska, Arizona, California and Nevada. Three of the losers-Alaska's Egan, California's Brown and Nevada's Grant Sawyer-also were trying to surmount the voters' antipathy to third terms...
