Kennedy Takes Over As Democrats' Boss
AP reports John F Kennedy tightened control of the Democratic Party after securing the presidential nomination. He will base operations in Hyannisport for a fortnight and meet leaders on policy areas including defense and farm policy. He says foreign policy will be key and welcomes President Eisenhower’s help. Kennedy installed Sen Henry Jackson as DNC chair with Lyndon Johnson as VP nominee, framing a Senate-led leadership trio. He plans briefings with House and Senate leaders before the August session and aims to press a vigorous campaign against Nixon.

Eisenhower administration and Democratic leaders agree on secret CIA briefings for presidential and vice presidential hopefuls this year.
