Strong Rights Plank Adopted In Wisconsin
Wisconsin Democrats unanimously adopted a civil rights resolution urging a clear stand for full and equal civil rights. The move drew praise from Melvin Handleman of the Young Democrats of America and followed Kefauver's upbeat assessment of the draft. The convention closed with a push to draft Elliot Walstead for U.S. senator while Henry Maier remained the only announced candidate. The party also discussed Wiley’s bid and Bowles framed the GOP foreign policy split as a way to undermine Eisenhower. Queen Elizabeth returned to London from Sweden by plane.
