President Nixon, who 1r acknowledged to
be the leading GOP prospect rigid now.
According to the New York Times, it
is possible to '‘speculate with confidence”
that In the event of Mr. Eisenhower’s
withdrawal Knowiand would declare no
later than March 7 that he intends to en-
ter tile presidential primary in Califor-
nia.
He would do this as a serious candi-
date; oot as a ‘'favorite son” merely trying
to hold the California delegation for an-
other.
There are only two conceivable ways
in which Knowiand could take this step.
He could put a slate of delegates of his
own regardless of what Gov. Goodwin
Knight does. Or he could work out an ar-
rangement by which he and the governor
would collaborate in selecting a slate.

There are a lounge and a great big switchboard

going to give that room glamor if we have to put

In the Utter case, the slate might be
el or
pledged to Kriowliand at the outset or it
might be nominally pledged to Knight
with the understanding that the delegates
would go for Knowiand after one ballot.
No one who doesn't know well the minds
of Knowiand and Knight can say whether
either such plan is a practical possibility.
But if Knowiand, with or without the
aid of Governor Knight, could make a
hard primary drive in California, it would
mean nothing but trouble for Ni*on. As
has been so often said, the vice-president
could not hope to take the nomination if
he could not go into the GOP convention

der wraps at this stage, are confident
they can bowl over Knight if it should
come to a Nixon-Knight showdown. Know-
land’s entry into the listswould, however,
complicate the picture.
If all three men put in primary slates.
Nixon, as the man with the head start,
might be the chief beneficiary from the
divided voting. But not necessarily. Three-
cornered races often hold surprises.
If Nixon had to buck a Knight-Know-
land combine with a slate of his own, he
might find the going very tough.
A great catalogue of “if*,” all tfiii1. But
it illustrates well the uncertainty that a
Knowiand candidacy would throw over
Nixon’s prospects in the I9fl€ Republican
campaign. ■,

A NIGHT TO REMEMBER.
Holt
At 11:49 Sunday night, April 14, 1912, a look-
out on the White Star liner Titanic spotted an ice-
berg dead ahead. Lees than a minute later, the
66,000-ton luxury liner, on her maiden voyage to
New York, had swung off and avoided a head-
on collision, but the berg tipped a 300-foot gash
deep under wmter.
It was a rumbling, a scraping sound, crewmen
and passengers thought, and went on playing
cards, drinking, getting ready for bed. The Titanic
was popularly called un&inkable, so why worry?
For some time no one did. But emergency doors
were closed, and one by one, though slowly, ihe
people heard of an iceberg.
Water poured in, and before many minute.*
passengers were altered and came on deck in
fantastic combination of finery and lifebelts; and
with women and children — mostly — going first,
got into lifeboats, dropped to the water snd in
freezing weather fowed away. The ship sank at
2:20 a. m. The Cttnarder Carpathia picked up
675 survivors; and leaving a sea strewn with
tables, chairs, boxes, and floating ice. and cover-
ingf the bodies of more than 1,300 dead, sailed
back to New York.
Lord wisely lets this exciting story tell itself
Facts are piled on facts; there is little elaboration
of them but they are endlessly fascinating; It
was an Episcopal hymn, “Autumn,” not “Near-
er my God to Thee,” that the band was playing as
the ship sank. Death rate was much higher in
steerage than first class. There were lifeboats
for only half the people aboard, whose names were
Actor, Butt, Widener, Straus and the like. The
titanic sent the first SOS in history. The cap-
tain ignored six sepeiate warnings of ice ahead
wirelessed to him that very day.

Me AI ester, Okia., Nov. 18 l#t—
A man who was scheduled to go to
death in the electric chair at mid-
night won a dramatic eleventh-
hour stay of execution late yester-
day.
Hurbie Franklin Fairris, Jr. was
given a reprieve just 7 and one-
half hours before he was sched-
uled to die. The stay was granted
after an accomplice confessed the
shooting for which Fairris had
been convicted.
The eonfesson esme from Ray-
mond Price after he talked with
two Catholic chaplains at Okla-
homa state penitentiary. Price
had been sentenced to life impris-
onment in the case, which involv-
ed a fatal shooting during an at-
tempted supermarket burglary at
Oklahoma City in 1964.
Also sentenced to life in the
case was James Skinner.
Fairris, Price and Skinner are
all from Dallas.
Two aunts were with Fairris in
his death cell when word of the
stay was received. They shouted
repeatedly: "Praise the Lord ”
They had been urging Fairris to
be baptized before his death. But
he refused, saying: “Pm ready as
I am. I never did think of the
Lord until I got in here.”
Commenting on Price's confes-
sion, Fairris said: "I’m going to
let Price say what he has to say. I
know T didn’t do the killing. I
don’t think the people of Okla-
homa want me to die. People be-
lieve in my innocence and all I
have to do now is convince the of-
ficals.”
The state parole board will
meet November 28th and 20th to
consider1 the new evidence. >)
Meanwhile, officials said that
Price probably could not be tried
again, even though he has admit-
ted the killing. They said that
would amount to double jeopardy.
