Johnson Steals The Show At Alfred E Smith Dinner
In New York the three contenders Humphrey Nixon and Johnson shared the stage at the Alfred E Smith Memorial Dinner amid a nonpartisan mood. Johnson praised by Rockefeller and Dewey drew laughs with Custer and Resurrection quips while Humphrey urged a face to face debate and Nixon teased with a parody of his California loss. The event featured Farley Javits and other political figures as McCarthy remained absent.
