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.”

‘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.
