Band performs for 8,000 spectators during Senator Kennedy's visit to Scottsbluff Nebraska on a Saturday.
Senator Robert F. Kennedy promised to travel widely and meet with Americans if elected president. He spoke to large Republican crowds in Nebraska ahead of the May 14 primary, saying leadership must stay connected to the people and pledging to travel to open channels between the presidency and citizens.
Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey will formally enter the Democratic presidential race at a Washington news conference next Saturday with a "don't sell America short" theme. He aims to run on the Johnson record, stressing national resolve to fight the war and tackle urban slums, while limiting campaign appearances where rivals campaign heavily. He plans fixed speeches and urban-aid visits, meeting with Negro leaders, and avoiding early-state barnstorms while continuing university panel discussions and extensive national travel.
Kentucky Republicans chose 24 delegates to the national convention and named Gov. Louie B. Nunn as chairman. Delegates remained officially unpledged though leaning toward Richard Nixon, with Nunn stating he would endorse Nixon if delegates vote that way. The Derby Breakfast with the Nunns was noted for next month.
Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy said there is deep disagreement inside the Johnson administration over U.S. course in Vietnam and vowed to push for a policy overhaul. He warned the Vietnam issue could be clouded without a strong Democratic presidential defender and questioned Vice President Humphrey's willingness to defend the administration policy when he enters the race.
More than 5,000 suburban residents joined a city cleanup in 50 New York blocks including East 103rd Street Harlem. Organizers led by Msgr. Robert J. Fox cited civic duty as thousands donated cement paint and labor while sanitation trucks cleared debris.
