“I’m sorry to see Lenore leave her position,” Van Alstyne said. “She deserved to win the election last spring after working so hard for it.”
According to Van Alstyne, Mrs. Patterson felt that she wouldn’t be able to devote enough time to the secretarial duties as she now has a part-time job, attends night school, and was recently married to Pat Patterson, SC undergraduate.
Mrs. Patterson was barred from the Spring race by the Senate’s Elections Eligibility Committee when it claimed she was 10 units under the 90 unit eligibility mark.
Two days later, the hopeful aspirant asked for a re-hearing, stating, “I do this because I feel this is not merely a matter of units alone. Last semester I became ill and was forced to quit school.”

The authoritative 'Russian newspaper Pravda promptly backed Red China with a charge that only “the absurd obstructionist policy of the United States blocks membership for the Mae Tse-Tung regime.
Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, with support pledged from Britain and other major American allies, was prepared to take on Russia's Andrei Y. Vishinsky in what was expected to be a short and bitter battle on the issue when the assembly convenes this afternoon.

Richard Graves, Democratic nominee for Governor, declared today that the confidential files of the California Crime Commission contained an affidavit linking Gov. Goodwin J. Knight “to underworld elements in San Diego.”
Speaking at a luncheon of San Francisco campaign workers, Graves said the affidavit, allegedly buried in the Commission’s secret files, concerned an attempt by Knight in 1952 “to pressure the city attorney of San Diego, Eugene Du Paul, to halt an investigation into illegal activities by Nate Rosenberg, a San Diego tavern owner and associate of midwestern mobsters.”
Gov. Goodwin J. Knight branded as another “scurrilous” attack a charge by his Democratic opponent, Ri c hard Graves, that he was linked
with San Diego underworld elements in a secret affidavit of the California Crime Commission.
“This is just another fantastic, dishonest, scurrilous and completely unfounded attack derdged up by a desperate candidate,” the Governor comment-ted on Graves’ statement to a San Francisco rally.

President Carlos Ibanez decreed a state of siege in Chile today and Communist-inspired violence broke out in a large American-owned copper mine.
The state of siege, or modified martial law, will be in effect for six months. It empowers the executive to make house arrests and to move prisoners from one place to another without court action.
The state of siege will affect the whole country with the exception of nine small counties. The Chilean constitution empowers the President to decree a state of siege in part of the national territory, but not all of it. Exclusion of the nine sparsely-populated counties makes the decree constitutionally valid.
