Bogus ducats circulate at Democratic Convention in Chicago
Tens of thousands crowded the Chicago Stadium for the Democratic National Convention last night, many with $40 tickets, while thousands were unable to enter. Police reserves were summoned but no disorders occurred. Estimates of the jam range from several thousand to ten thousand as counterfeit courtesy cards and badges let some in. Fire officials ordered admission to all ticket holders, and reporters and staff faced entry blocks. Editorials urged Mayor Cermak and police to prevent repeats, demanding buyers get what they paid for.
