...White House schedule, California's Bill Knowland, acting majority leader, presented a stripped-down list of "must" legislation: 1) Reorganization Plan No. 2, to give Agriculture Secretary Benson sweeping powers to reform and reshuffle his vast department; 2) reciprocal-trade extension; 3) the continental-shelf bill to give the Federal Government control of offshore oil beyond state boundaries; 4) the Watkins bill to grant emergency visas to 240,000 Iron Curtain refugees, other aliens. Also on the agenda: routine appropriations, extension of the excess profits tax. Apparently overboard for this session: 1) Hawaiian statehood; 2) revision of Taft-Hartley...

...When Knowland last week recommended Laughlin E. Waters, chairman of the California Republican Party's central committee, for appointment as U.S. attorney for Southern California, some California Republicans predicted a hot war between Nixonites and Knowlandites. Waters is especially displeasing to Nixon, who accuses him of sitting on his hands during the campaign. But, both future presidential possibilities, Nixon and Knowland want to avoid an open break.
