Glenard Paul Lipscomb, endorsed by his local party organization, was backed by Vice President Richard Nixon and California's new Governor Goodwin Knight. The other Republican, John L. Collier, was the candidate of the opposing faction (followers of ex-Governor Earl Warren, now U.S. Chief Justice, and Senator William Knowland). The Democratic candidate was George Arnold, 32-year-old son of Trustbuster Thurman Arnold and a son-in-law of Columnist Drew Pearson...
...last week to individuals and organizations all over the U.S. were thousands of mimeographed requests for signatures on a petition addressed to the President of the U.S. The petition's seven sponsors made an impressive list of American leaders from both parties: ex-President Herbert Hoover, ex-Ambassador (to Japan) Joseph C. Grew, ex-Governor (NJ.) Charles Edison, Republican Senator (N.J.) H. Alexander Smith, Democratic Senator (Ala.) John Sparkman, Republican Representative (Minn.) Walter H. Judd, Democratic Representative (Mass.) John W. McCormack. The petition...
...patronage boss, Hall's No. 1 chore will be to streamline the processing of Republican job seekers. Basically, this means careful clearance with Congressmen and state political bosses before making appointments.

...last week's sale (the first of four scheduled), the cars were washed and polished by convicts from the state penitentiary. Clement, who had gone on TV to advertise the sale, auctioned off the first and last cars and two others. Among the other salesmen: ex-Governor James McCord, an auctioneer by profession. Because the carnival spirit of the sale made for free spending, Clement and his friends knocked the cars down at bids well above local retail prices for comparable used cars. Average for the 44 cars, one to seven years old: $1,065. After the sale...
...Fred George Aandahl, 55, North Dakota farmer and politician (ex-Congressman, ex-governor), to be Assistant Secretary in charge of the Division of Water and Power. As a candidate for the Republican senatorial nomination last summer. Aandahl made an enemy of Senator William Langer, also a candidate. Langer won both the primary and the November election, and last week he faced Aandahl at a hearing of the Senate Interior Committee, which passed on the four Interior Department appointees. Happy after all to see a fellow North Dakotan in a high-Government post and a rival North Dakotan out of state...
