New Senator Knowland wins post amid postwar coverage
California appoints Major William Knowland as U S Senator to fill Johnson’s unexpired term. At 37 he is youngest in Senate history and the first Army officer named to the body. Knowland served in state government and was then Oakland Tribune editor before his Paris posting. The choice stems from Warren’s gubernatorial influence and Knowland’s family political ties.
