Dirksen Favors Generalities As GOP Platform Starts
Republican platform writers opened in Miami Beach under a push for a neutral document while rivalries surfaced. Harold Stassen accused Rockefeller and Nixon of Democratic Vietnam policy errors and challenged front runners to appear before the panel. Dirksen aims for a platform any candidate can run on, while Melvin Laird urged a bold, offensive approach for 1970s coalition building. George Meany urged blaming Hanoi for the Vietnam War, not Washington, and urged unity with dissent allowed.
