Eisenhower Hustles to Build Southern Delegates at Convention
As the Republican convention nears, Eisenhower backers clash with efforts to name Gen. Douglas MacArthur as keynote speaker. The arrangements committee meets in Chicago to name a keynote and a temporary chairman, with Georgia and North Carolina delegations in play and Taft leads in several states. MacArthur’s nomination is resisted by Eisenhower partisans, while Kefauver and Russell build Democratic support.
