Earl Warren. Twice recently I have watched his peregrinations through conferences where Republicans of every ilk were assembled and I have never heard one unfavorable word tossed in his direction. Among politicians, even when they are of the same party, that is something of a record. Its like batting '1.000. It's all the more remarkable when you consider that until he ran for governor in Califorpia a couple of vears ago, Warren considred himself a non-partisan. If the Native Sons.I have talked to have their story straight, Cali- fornians think of Warren much as they do of an earthquake.
