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." Then Knight punched his running mate squarely on the jaw: "Since he injected a non-Republican issue into the campaign, I am under no moral or legal obligation to endorse his candidacy. We Republicans frequently have asked Democrats to vote...
...Averell Harriman's re-election campaign. Reason: Tammany Chieftain Carmine De Sapio realized that he needed Powell more than Powell needed Tammany. Running in the primary as an independent, Powell trampled Party Choice Earl Brown by 3 to 1 (TIME, Aug. 25).

Appointed by President Eisenhower in 1954 to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit (Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky, Tennessee...
...Ohio Republican Stewart, already the possessor of a distinguished judicial reputation (see box), succeeds another distinguished Ohio Republican. Harvard-trained Lawyer Harold Burton, Truman-appointed, was mildly conservative in outlook, served on the adventuresome Warren court not as a guiding rudder but as a valuable anchor to windward. Last year, in one of the most important Supreme Court minority opinions of the decade, Burton powerfully dissented from the ruling that Du Font's 23% stock ownership of General Motors violated antitrust laws (TIME, June 17, 1957). He authored last May's conservative-leaning opinion that a worker kept...
