American Party drafts platform in Louisville meeting
The American Party platform committee begins drafting proposals in Freedom Hall Louisville. Cochairman William Shearer of La Mesa California notes possible constitutional or federal routes to halt busing and discusses electing Supreme Court justices. He cites Governor George Wallace's endorsement of a constitutional route and warns on feasibility. The party plans to address relations with Red China and the Soviet Union as premature, while aiming for a negative stand on Nixon policy toward North Vietnam. The convention runs three days with about 2000 delegates from 45 states attending. Wallace has declined to head a third party ticket, leaving other prospects open. The party formed in 1969 from Wallace supporters.
