Before a California Federation of Labor convention at Oakland (Knowland's home town), Knight boomed: "The intelligent, fair-minded men and women of the Republican Party in California are not going to abdicate and permit the Grand Old Party to become an antilabor party. No man with a reputation for belligerence either in international affairs or domestic affairs, no matter how high-principled he may be, is safe for executive office in the Federal Government today. And he is equally unsafe to be entrusted with the governorship of California...
Knight's round was the second half of a double barrel. Earlier, two pro-Knight officers of the G.O.P. State Central Committee sent California Republicans a letter bemoaning "impending Republican Party suicide," suggesting that Bill Knowland remove himself as a gubernatorial possibility. Knowland "cannot possibly muster the broad popular support which is necessary to win the governorship," the letter said, and if he insists on a knockdown, drag-out primary with Knight, "the resultant Democratic swing well might take not only the governorship but the other major constitutional posts, the U.S. Senatorship, the majority of the Congressional delegation...

But in the same breath both admitted that they were more and more seeing eye to eye on less and less...
...evidence of this reluctance, Republican Senator Thomas Kuchel of California urged the U.S. to "weigh carefully" any Indian loan: "Her foreign policy is of course her own business. But, it seems to me, America's helping hand ought to be extended to nations which share our goals." Countered one of the Democrats' leading lights on foreign affairs, Montana's Senator Mike Mansfield: "I believe that underneath this neutralism, India would, if the chips were down, be on the side of the West. Our faith in India's future may well be the decisive factor...
