Knight wanted his Southern California campaign manager, Insurance Executive Howard Ahmanson, named vice chairman of the state central committee-a job that would almost automatically make him state chairman next term. A bloc of Nixon's closest political friends, including Congressmen Pat Hillings, Carl Hinshaw and Joe Holt and Republican Glamour Girl Mildred Younger, came to the convention with other plans.

By campaign's end there was evidence that Pat Sutton had talked too much. During one talkathon, he had labeled a friend of Kefauver as a "known Communist." Later he apologized, but that did not stop Kefauver's friend from hitting him with a $1,500,000 slander suit...
