Loyalty pledge compromise chills party split at convention
United States casualties in Korea rose to 113,363, up 20 from last week. A North South compromise on a loyalty pledge drafted under White House direction dampened hopes of a 1948 style party split at the convention. The rule requires delegates to promise to help place nominees on home state ballots, with a proviso shielding adherence to state laws or party rules. Michigan's Sen Blair Moody and Rep Franklin D Roosevelt Jr led the push, saying the pledge would not force delegates to violate state laws.
