California Copy

California newshawks love Governor James Rolph Jr. as good copy. Last week they assembled in his office to ask him two questions:

Q. Did he know that he had appointed a chiropractor to the State Osteopathic Board?

A. I'm going to find out about this. . . .

Q. Was it true that he intended to deliver a stump speech for re-election in a nudist camp?

A. I've been invited to visit the nudist colony at Elsinore and I am seriously considering. Sure, I realize clothes are not allowed. What I am worried about is how I can wear my buttonhole flower.

Meantime, in San Jose, a grand jury, sure of Governor Rolph's approval, failed to find evidence for indicting participants in the hanging of Kidnappers John Holmes and Thomas Thurmond (TIME, Dec. 4 & 11).
