Farm Talk Date Now Cancelled By Stevenson
Adlai E Stevenson’s plan for a major farm speech at Minnesota’s national plowing contest was scrapped after contest officials barred speaking the same day as Dwight D Eisenhower. Stevenson had been invited for Sept 6 with Eisenhower scheduled for Sept 5, but the committee later invited both leaders for Sept 6 and then reversed to offer Sept 5 only, leading Stevenson to accept Sept 6 due to prior commitments. The episode involved Wilson W Wyatt, governor campaign manager, and Philip S Duff Jr, public relations chairman.
