Kefauver Recognizes Stevenson as Nominal Democratic Head
Senator Kefauver said Adlai Stevenson is the titular head of the Democratic Party but lacks authority to dictate policy.

He contrasted this with Senator Maybank who rejects Stevenson as leader, arguing Congress will shape day to day policy for the 1956 candidate.
