The California Democratic split over the U S Senate widened as Don Bradley, head of the state party, left Gov. Edmund G. Brown to campaign for Pierre Salinger who entered the race March 29.

Salinger’s move called a power play by Jesse Unruh by the California Democratic Council. Senator Clair Engle, age 52, files for re election after brain surgery last year and says he is recovering.
