Vietnam plank could decide Humphrey bid at convention
Chicago AP reports Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey tightens grip on the Democratic nomination as Kennedy draft fizzles and Southern resistance wanes. A convention vote on a Vietnam platform, shaped by Humphrey, opposed by McCarthy, may signal the nomination path with a rejection of an unconditional bombing halt and a call for de escalation only with reciprocal moves by North Vietnam. The Platform Committee proposed keeping bombing unless de escalate proven, a move seen as boosting Johnson to attend later in the week on his 60th birthday. A floor fight loomed over U S withdrawal and coalition government terms while McCarthy and McGovern proposals were dismissed. The notice also lists a registrar session for Aug 29 and 30 for primary corrections in City Hall.
