CALIFORNIA; Kaleidoscope
political scene is on the
change again. Former Gov.
Goodwin Knight, the Repub-
lican who had hoped to sink
former Vice President Nixon
without trace in winning
the party'S gubernatorial
nomination. has withdrawn
because of serious illness.
Earl Warren, jr., 32-year-old
son of the Chief Justice, has
announced he will register as
a Democrat, after talking
with his father who was
three times Republican Gov
ernor of the State.
The two announcements
came on the same day
which may or may not have
been purely coincidental. The
Knight withdrawal was not
calculated to make Demo-
cratic Gov. Pat Brown, seek
ing reelection, happy, while
the statement that young
Warren was turning Demo-
crat for this years go-round
at least could only make the
Governor hope that old War
rem Republicans would follow
suit.
And the latest move on the
Democratic side is the entry
of State Senator Richard
Richards as a candidate for
the Democratic senatorial
nomination to run against
Republican Senator Thomas
Kuchel next November.
The G. o. P. Shift of '5S
Political feuds in Califor-
MIA are nothing new. Both
parties have suffered from
them. The Republicans, how
ever, really kicked over the
apple cart in 1858. The then
Gov. Knight wished to run
for reelection but was
pushed aside to allow former
Senator William Knowland to
seek the governorship-and
Gov. Knight ran for the
Knowland seat in the Senate
The upshot: Mr.. Knowland
was defeated by more than q
million votes by Pat Brown
and Clair Engle won by a
wide margin-more than 700,-
000-over Gov. Knight. The
Democrats took command OF
the State Legislature and in
creased their membership in
the House delegation. Mr.
Nixon was accused of having
jockeyed Gov. Knight out Of
the gubernatorial race anc
arranging for him to run fol
Mr.. Knowland's Senate seat
- and Mr.. Knights resent
ment remained bitter-Sc
bitter that he determined tt
defeat Mr.. Nixon this year il
his try for Governor, if ht
could. The Warren Nixor
feud goes back to 1852, wher
Mr.. Nixon was pro-Eisenhow
er in the race for the Re.
publican presidential nomina
ton and the then Gov
Warren was seeking the nom.
ination himself. Mr.. Nixon
wound up with the vice pres
idential nomination.
Despite the fact that Mr.
Nixon won California against
President Kennedy in 1866
and that Gov. Brown has
been attacked as vacillat-
ing, the former Vice Presi-
dent has a hard and diff
cult road ahead of him. The
Democrats hope to hold theil
lines pretty strongly against
him and. since their registered
voters outnumber those of the

JFK's Action Helps
U. S. Image Wilkins


NEW YORK. - President Ken
nedy's action squelching the Mis-
sissippi insurrection was praised
by NAACP. Executive Secretary
Roy Wilkins as helping the Amer
lean image and that of the Admin
istration among Europeans.
The NAACP leaders, remarks
were made during an interview
over "a transatlantic hookup on
the Columbia sBroadcasting Sys-
TENS radio program, Let's Find
Out. The program was broadcast
over the CHS network facilities
here Sunday afternoon, Oct. Z.
The Presidents action, Mr.. Will
kins said, helped undermine the
anti-American propaganda of the
Communists. Mr. Kennedy, he said
showed that he meant business
when he sent in the troops to see
that the Federal court order was
carried out and to see that James
H. Meredith be enrolled and pro-
tected as student at the Universe
ty of Mississippi.
Mr.. Wilkins foresaw future
trouble in school desegregation in
Alabama and South Carolina but
not as violent or critical as in Mis-
kissippi.
There is dissent in South Caro-
lina,' he said. There is espousal
of integration in South Carolina.
There is no such thing in Mississip-
pi."
Alabama will be difficult. he
said, recalling the Autherine Lucy
case in 1856, but not as difficult
as Mississippi.
Mr.. Wilkins is vacationing in
Europe with Mrs. Wilkins.

The first electrical company in
Cheser was started in 1923.
The man who was responsible for
this venture, Frank Evans, was
born in Cleveland So years ago.
He first came to Chester in 1919,
where he started to do electrical
work year later.
When the Chester Light and Pow
er Company was organized, it sup
piled the central part of Chester
with electricity purchased from
the c & E Railway Co. MIR Evans
was employed by that company.
The Cleveland Electric Illuminat-
ing Co. later purchased the fran
chise from Chester Light and Po-
wer and began extending their
lines in many directions. MIR. Ev-
ans recognized the need for an
electrical service business and the
opportunity to sell electric appli-
ances.
He started his present business in
1923, using his garage as stor-
age and work center.
In 1916, MIR. Evans purchased the
site of his present location, 1885
Mayfield Road. At that time Max
Greenler of Chardon, who had
been employed by the Illuminating
Co. entered into partnership with
MIR. Evans.
