...first time, in ART, Masterpieces of Chinese Art. CALIFORNIA'S political gun slingers were moseying around the state last week, setting up barricades for the inevitable shouting that will break out when Governor Goodwin Knight defends his job against tall-in-the-saddle U.S. Senator William Fife Knowland next year.

Even though the State Department is thinking in terms of some $30 million, California's William Fife Knowland, Senate minority leader, declared he would continue to oppose any sum until Soviet troops are withdrawn from Poland and free elections are held. From the other side of the aisle, Massachusetts' Democrat John F. Kennedy proclaimed that it would be a brutal and dangerous policy...
