other 1858 debacle in the
party"
Mr.. Edgerton was referring
to the 1858 Democratic cleo
toral victory when Mr.. Knight
was persuaded to step aside as
Governor and let former Re-
publican Senator William F..
Knowland run for that position.
Mr.. Knight ran for Mr.. Know
lands Senate seat. Both lost
badly.
Mr.. Knight claims - and MIR.
Nixon denies-that Mr.. Nixon
engineered the switch so he
could have complete control of
CALIFORNIA; G.. o. P. organiza-
ton. Mr.. Knowland has claimed
he was not a party to any
backstage maneuvering and
fully expected to contest Mr..
Knight in the gubernatorial
primary that year.
Mr.. Edgerton added in his
letter to Mr.. Knight:
AT no time up to the present
moment have ever asked you
not to run for the governor
ship I did caution you against
doing anything prematurely
and without getting the coun-
sci and advice of some of your
best and oldest political friends,
Il indicated I still felt Nixon
was going to run. I reiter-
ated that Nixon would be
hard to beat and asked
whether you had given any
thought to an appointive job
Of any kind in the event you
stayed out of the race and
Nixon ended up as Governor. I
further reiterated the stupidity
from a party standpoint of the
two of you lambasting each
other.
Holds No RancOr
Al the conference yesterday,
Mr.. knight said Mr.. Edgerton
had been his supporter until
his 1855 defeat-and then had
joined the Nixon camp. How
ever~ Mr.. knight told reporters,
he held no personal rancor
against Nj, Edgerton for the
switch.
In a statement following his
public letter, Mr.. Edgerton gave
this version yesterday:
July 21-He invited Mr..
Knight to his office. the visit
had nothing to do" with Mr..
Nixon; they had "a general
chat about his (Mr. Knight'sJ
political plans" Mr.. Knight did
not say he'd be candidate.
About the end of July-Mr.
Edgerton invited Howard All
manson. a Republican leader,
and Mr.. Knight for lunch at
his office. They again discussed
the general political situation"
and Mr.. Nixon had "abso-
lutely nothing to do, directly
or indirectly" with this lunch
con or the previous meeting.
August THE meeting at
Mr. Nixon's home was arranged
by Mr.. Edgerton at Mr.
Knights request.
Mr.. EdgerCon also stated:
Il have never heard Mr..
Nixon state that he was ap-
pointing me as an emissary to
deal with Mr.. Knight or any,
one else, nor was an ennis
sary."
Issues Statement
Mr.. Nixon issued a statement
saying that Mr.. Edgerton's de-
NAL completely repudiates this
whole ridiculous charge"
Il have no further comment, ;"
he said. "Mr. Knight has hu-
inflated himself enough.

The bagpiper, Thomas Ryan,

as the vacationers walked down

Originally. the group was
comprised of 103 club members
who went on the chartered

took a commercial flight home.
Several others also made diff

The air pilgrimage to Erin

for the Irish-Americans to come

The plane which finally was

leave because the pilot, Capt.

$4,000 to pay for fuel.
A bank draft from the Van

fuel bill problem.

tion of promising practices point
ed up real needs for both the
continual practice in speaking
English in meaningful situations
throughout the school day and the
establishment Of formal lessons IN
how to speak the language cor
rectly.
By the end of the conference.
this writer felt that four special
needs of teachers had been ern-
phasized for teachers of Navajo
children.
Much attention does need to be
given to seeing that these chill
dren's basic psychological needs
are adequately met. These chill
dren need recognition, response
from others, a feeling of belong
ing. and love and acceptance from
their teachers, but these needs
are not special since all children
need and deserve these.
The four special needs empha-
sized by the conference are:
/ An understanding and appre-
citation of the cultural heritage OF
the child;
2 Some understanding and APP
preciation of the differences in the
systems of the Navajo and Eng
lish languages;
3. Specific knowledge OF how to
proceed with formal lessons IN
how to teach English as second
language; j..
4. An acceptance of the tact
that now Navajos, on the average,
are severely educationslly retard'
ed. and knowledge of how to over
come this handicap through re-
