LOS ANGELES CP> — Former Gov. Goodwin J. Knight, once a robust political wurhorse who loved a rousing fight, withdrew yesterday from California’s 1962 GOP gubernatorial primary and a battle with former Vice President Richard M. Nixon. Citing reasons of health, Knight stepped out of what was shaping up as a rugged primary fight with Nixon, an old intraparty foe. Nixon said in a statement he hoped Knight would recover quick ly from his illness so that “he could regain his participation in public affairs.” The two exchanged bitter charges last fall. Knight said Nixon, through a middleman, of fered him any state job if Knight would quit the race. Nixon de nied it. Knight, 65, an ebullient, ener getic governor from 1952 to 1958, was stricken last November with infectious hepatitis. After several weeks’ hospitaliza tion, he went home but since has been confined to his bed. Amid rumors that Knight would withdraw, his campaign manager, Robert Alderman, resigned a few weeks ago. Knight’s current campaign man ager, Bob Voigt, said the decision to withdraw was made yesterday afternoon after Knight’s physician gave him a 45-minute examina tion. The physician, Carl E. Lund, said: “I have advised him that because of this illness, from which he has not yet recovered, he can not conduct a strenuous statewide political campaign in 1962.” Knight himself said in a state ment: ‘‘It is with the greatest regret that I now follow the ad vice of my doctor. I shall not file as a candidate for governor in March. “This reluctance is inspired by the sincere devotion and friend ship of many Californians who have so unselfishly supported me for governor of California. “I will never forget them.” Voigt said Knight’s doctor, after examining the former governor advised Knight that if he had a relapse, it would be worse than the original illness. It had been no- secret that Knight had been itching to take on Nixon in a head-on primary fight. He had even urged Demo crats to change registration so they could help him defeat the 48-year-old Nixon in the primary. California has a 3-2 Democratic registration edge, and Knight’s followers claimed he was highly popular with many elements of the Democratic party, including labor and minority groups. Gov. Edmund G. Brown, a Democrat, is expected to seek re- election. Nixon's statement said: “I know I express the sentiments of all Californians, regardless of party, in extending my sympathy to Governor Knight and my best wishes for his recovery from the illness which has forced him to withdraw from the gubernatorial race. “I know this is a difficult blow to a man who has been such a vigorous and tireless campaigner, and I hope that he will have a speedy and complete recovery so that he can regain his participa tion in public affairs.” To all MARRIED Students: You Can’t Afford to be Without Blue Cross VARSITY SERVICE Benefits for hospital services for acci dents, illnesses and maternity care and surgery ANYWHERE.

THE BATTALION PniTP 3 ‘I GAVE UP THE GHOST’ Young Girl, 16, Survives Night In Walk-In Freezer BORGER, Tex. hT 5 )—Not a per son was in sight at the drive-in Monday night. It was 11 p.m., and closing time. Sondra Posey, the only employe on duty, picked up a large con tainer of steaming hot chili and took it into the walk-in freezer. The door slammed behind her. Seven hours later, she put her head in her hands and prepared to die. Her shoes were frozen to the floor and her legs had no feel ing from the knees down. “I gave up the ghost,” 16-year- old Sondra said Tuesday from her hospital bed. Officers said a thief apparently hid himself until the teen-ager walked into the freezer. Then he slammed the door. He dropped a long knife-sharpener through a hasp to prevent Sondra from leav ing and took $30 from the cash register. He overlooked $49 more. The thief turned out all lights but the night light so the drive-in would appear normal. Sondra beat and kicked on the door, she said, but soon realized Gas Engine, Parachute On Exhibit Two exhibits in the Industrial Education Building this week dis play a tiny gasoline engine and equipment used by the A&M Para chute Club. The gasoline engine is the world’s smallest mass-produced engine, the Cox' “Tee Dee .010.” It consists of 21 parts and weighs .49 ounce. Assembled, the engine has an over-all height of IVz inches, an over-all length of l 1 /^ inches and a width of 1 inch. The engine will develop 27,500 rpm. The second display, on standard parachute equipment, includes a B-4 main backpack modified for sport use, a reserve pack and an instrument panel consisting of an air speed indicator and altimeter. it was useless. The temperature was well be low freezing but no one could say just how cold. “I kept thinking mother would, come and get me at 12,” she said. “At 12:30 I gave up on her com ing. At 3 o’clock I decided no body was coming.” She eased her pain by embrac ing the container of chili until it lost its heat. “Then every time T sat down to feel sorry for myself, I’d hear mother talking,” Sandra said. “She’d say, ‘Don’t just sit there, you dope. Get up and move around.’ ” They had seen a TV show to gether recently in which a girl found herself in much the same predicament. “Move around, you dope” was what Sondra’s mother, Joan Posey, had told the girl in the TV show. Finally Sandra gave up and sat down Her shoes fro?e to the floor and she put her head in her hands on her knees. Mrs. Posey awoke to find her daughter absent and started a search, first at the drive-in. Through a pane of glass she saw Sondra’s sweater and coat and contacted other workers, who came and rescued the girl.
