Firecrackers popped last week in the heat generated by the bad Republican showing in California's popularity-poll primaries (TIME, June 16). Items: ¶ Republican Gubernatorial Candidate William F. Knowland announced that he would give his "wholehearted and loyal support" to the state Republican ticket in the November elections. ¶ Virtually every G.O.P. candidate-including Senatorial Candidate Goodwin J. Knight, the incumbent Governor-indicated polite but firm refusal to accept Big Bill's kindness. They prefer going it alone, since they think that Knowland's unpopular right-to-work program is hurting party chances, and furthermore, that...
...Democrats turned out. And by nightfall the big news was that California Democrats, traditionally nonpartisan types who dissipated their big margin in registration (currently 990,000) by voting for well-known Republicans in California's cross-filing primary system, this year voted the straight Democratic ticket with unity.

Said Modoc County Cattleman Harold J. ("Butch") Powers, incumbent Lieutenant governor who got the biggest vote (1,757,000) on the G.O.P. ticket: "Nobody that I know of has endorsed me, and I'm running independently."

S.R.O. performances packed the concert halls in Britain and France, but the real fun began behind the Iron Curtain. At Bucharest's 1,000-seat Atheneum Hall, where temperatures hit 100°, the box office turned away 10,000 ticket seekers. Budapest-born Eugene Ormandy and his 104 players were cheered inside the packed hall for more than 15 minutes ("Never in my life have I heard such strings," glowed a Rumanian conductor), escaped outside only after police charged the cheering mobs in the streets. In Kiev, the reception was even bigger. Decked with Ukrainian flowers, the orchestra swept...
...Minnesota later than the rest of the nation and the D.F.L.'s labor support was vigorous and active. Despite the farm upturn, the D.F.L. was heartened by an increase in National Farmers Union membership since 1956 from 35,000 to 41,000 families. Beyond that, the D.F.L. Senate ticket would be helped mightily by the fact that popular Governor Orville Freeman, running for his third term, is considered such a lead-pipe cinch that the leadership-starved Minnesota Republicans have yet to find a man who will launch a campaign against...
