...weeks California's Governor Goodwin Knight watched in fuming silence while U.S. Senator William Fife Knowland rushed around the state running hard for governor without even declaring for the job (TIME, Sept. 16). This week Goodie Knight broke his silence and fired point-blank at Knowland on the issue of labor policy...
...slid to a stop near by. From the lead car bounded a bulky, shirtsleeved figure who plunged through the manzanita bush like a startled bull moose, thrust a hand at Mr. Cadwallader, announced simply: "I'm Senator Knowland."

For a fortnight the session's bitterest battle had raged between polar opposites-Georgia's Richard Brevard Russell and his determined Southerners, Senate Republican Leader William Fife Knowland and his coalition of Republicans and Democratic liberals. Last week, with the pressures carefully remeasured, the crosscurrents analyzed, Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson calculated that it was time to come out of the wings and exercise his superb cloakroom skill in the name of moderation. Johnson's goal: enactment of a compromise civil rights bill...
