Though his opponent in the U.S. Senate race is Democratic Congressman Clair Engle, California's outgoing Governor Goodwin J. Knight swings hardest against Fellow Republican William Fife Knowland. To an Oceanside meeting of wire-service editors last fortnight, Goodie argued bitterly that the Knowland-embraced right-to-work proposition on the upcoming ballot is "a non-Republican issue."
