Stevenson Bears Down on Ike Health Debate
Stevenson pressed the health issue of President Eisenhower while Kefauver criticized Republican propaganda and postponement.

Byrnes hinted at a Southern states rights party if Democrats and Republicans seek to court minority voters. Stevenson argued permanent arrangements made during Eisenhower's illness should be enshrined, framing the issue as public governance of the presidency.
