WILLIAM F. KNOWLAND
The U.S. Senator writes to radio personality George Sanders and send
an autographed photo (not included)
Typed letter signed: "William F. Knowland" as publisher of
the "Oakland Tribune", 1p, 6x8. Oakland, California, 1970 July 6. To
George R. Sanders, General Manager, KWJJ Broadcasting Co., Portland, Oregon,
enclosing an autographed photograph [not present]. William F. Knowland
(1908-1974) represented California in the U.S. Senate from 1945-1959.
The Republican was Senate Majority Leader (1953-1955) and Minority Leader
(1955-1959). Knowland was twice considered for the Republican
Vice-Presidential nomination in 1952: once by Senator Robert Taft, Dwight
Eisenhower's principal rival for the nomination; and again by Eisenhower
himself, when it appeared that the "Checkers" scandal might require that Richard
Nixon be dropped from the ticket. Although their policy views were similar,
Knowland and Nixon, rivals for leadership of the Republican Party in California,
detested each other. Knowland lost a race for Governor in 1958. He committed
suicide in 1974. George R. Sanders, originally a disc jockey, became a
prominent radio/TV interview host, first in Los Angeles and later in Portland.
