UPI reports that Truman counsels a 1960 nominee who supports school integration and civil rights to win Northern cities while not alienating the South. He weighs Meyner and Williams as possible candidates, noting Williams is more outspoken on civil rights. Thurmond and Faubus floated as potential third-party options.
