...DISAGREE WITH YOUR STORY ON THE POLITICAL SITUATION IN CALIFORNIA. THE STORY WAS COMPLETELY WRONG IN SAYING "KNOWLAND IS ... LEAST FAVORITE SON." SENATOR KNOWLAND HAS HELD MORE PUBLIC OFFICES AND PARTY POSITIONS THAN NIXON AND KNIGHT PUT TOGETHER. HE HAS BEEN AN OFFICEHOLDER LONGER AND BY FAR THE BEST VOTE-GETTER, INCLUDING THE CHIEF JUSTICE, IN OUR STATE'S HISTORY...
...they handled it. Sorely stung by the sorry past performances of Senate G.O.P. leaders, the Administration this time largely ignored them, banking heavily on an intensive public-relations campaign, e.g., full-page newspaper ads. Result: the Senate Republicans were even more ineffective than usual. G.O.P. Leader Bill Knowland uttered hardly a word during the debate. Pennsylvania's aging (75) G.O.P.

"Whenever two Californians get together," says Democratic National Committeeman Paul Ziffren glumly, "up pops Goodie Knight." "Wholesome Insincerity." When the gubernatorial DC-3, The Grissly, is set down on a California runway, Goodie can always count on a welcoming swarm of local Republicans waiting eagerly on the apron. Goodie has a remarkable memory for names, delivered with a personal greeting, a quip and a hefty whack on the back...
Last summer's power struggle at the state convention centered around two candidates for assistant state chairman-one a Knight loyalist, the other a Nixon insurgent. Goodie Knight easily managed (with an able assist from Senator William Knowland) to get his man, Multimillionaire Howard Ahmanson, elected...
