Earl Warren grew up in Bakersfield, in California's San Joaquin Valley, where segregation was unknown. At the University of California, one of Warren's good friends was a Negro named Walter Gordon ("We used to box a bit together," Gordon recalls).

He put up a hand-picked candidate for the Cape Province job. Dönges, who has the support of the Broederbond (a secret society dominated by Dutch Reformed Church ministers), went after...

The first play, P.O.W., dealt convincingly with a group of U.S. ex-prisoners returned from Korea to an Army hospital. The second, based on a 1941 Broadway play by Sophie Treadwell. examined racial and economic tensions in a California farming community.
