Truman Aides Move To Halt Nomination Boom At Convention
In Philadelphia July 7 President Truman's aide moved to curb any gallery efforts to trigger a nomination rush at next week's Democratic convention. Sergeant-at-arms Leslie L. Biffle said 80 police and up to 50 private detectives will guard the hall to prevent delegates being swayed by gallery chants. The move aims to prevent a repeat of Willkie era pressure while Eisenhower backers allegedly try to stampede. Democratic leaders in New York and elsewhere hedge on Eisenhower, praising Truman while considering drafts and possible substitute picks. Only Truman can stop the nomination on the first ballot.
