...dust, the rasp of gravel on rubber as four automobiles 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." After five minutes of picture taking and small talk, William Fife Knowland, his wife, his aides and his escort of 8 newsmen got back into their cars and tore off down the road. Behind them, Mrs. Cadwallader held a bewildered head in her hands...

Last week Knowland not only called for "a just and equitable right-to-work law" but went a strong step farther. Said he: "The time may soon be coming when Congress may have to apply the same antitrust laws to the big unions...
Before the tour ends, Knowland may announce formally that he is a candidate for governor. Under California's cross-filing law, he would try for both the Republican and the Democratic nominations in next June's primaries.
