Knowland Eyes White House Bid Amid Kennedy Era Shuffle
Friends of Senator Knowland say his possible GOP presidential run is being cooled by the White House with reservations about Eisenhower. He plans a formal entry around February 1, while advisers suggest delay into June or July. The dilemma: run now and risk opposing the President later, or skip primaries to gain delegates at a wide open convention. Also notes Air Force billboard swap to recruit for postal service and a clash over jet age air traffic control plans. Democratic circles see California Attorney General Pat Brown as frontrunner for the party’s vice presidential nomination.
