Knowland to resign urged by Hosmer in Washington
Senator Knowland reportedly plans to serve out his term while Rep. Clair Engle would gain seniority if he steps down. Hosmer said he does not intend to follow the advice but would not rule out the move, and Knowland intends to finish his current term. Meanwhile city actions push a salt water supply project to halt Long Beach area earth-sinking damage.

Norwegian-American sails solo windflower across Atlantic voyage
Engineer Peter Tangvald, 34, from Los Angeles, completed a 13,000 mile solo voyage aboard his 45-foot yawl Windflower from West Mersey England to Terminal Island California in over 14 months. He battled a hurricane, 31 days without sight of any vessel, 48 hours in heavy fog with no sleep or sustenance, and two injuries. His wife Lillemore abandoned the trip after rough seas. Tangvald set sail Dec 3, 1957, after a layover in Spain and failed crew recruitment. The voyage included a 31 day crossing Canary Islands to Antigua, a record for the vessel.
