...Period." Sheppard was explaining the action, just completed, of the House Democratic Patronage Committee in firing a Negro employee of the House post office and a Negro member of the Capitol police force.

Buses and police escorts are prompt; breakfast is invariably hot as the plane takes off each morning, and the Stevenson press staff, headed by Clayton Fritchey, gets all the speeches out in advance. But newsmen with Stevenson travel in a separate plane, get less access to the candidate than those with Nixon and Kefauver...
