W Averell Harriman reported to President Truman on his Democratic nomination bid and said the president urged him to keep fighting. Harriman stressed a campaign without compromise on the New Deal and Fair Deal principles, noting Truman’s insistence that any candidate must back those policies. Harriman said Truman did not endorse him but praised the type of campaign and encouragement to press ahead. He planned a post-DC primary campaign swing through the Midwest and Pacific Northwest. Senator Estes Kefauver was seen working the capital primary scene, while Harriman dismissed Eisenhower’s recent teleprompter-free style as old hat.
