Amid the prayers there was some rustling in the church. In Manhattan Vice President Richard Nixon was the honor guest and principal speaker at the black-tie Lincoln Day Dinner of the National Republican Club. Nixon seized the occasion for the highest-powered G.O.P. attack on the leading Democratic presidential candidates to date. Adlai Stevenson, Tennessee's Senator Estes Kefauver and New York's Governor Averell Harriman are "three candidates in search of a crisis," said he. Then, singling out Front Runner Stevenson, Nixon added: "Unless he changes his present course, it will begin to look...

The Sullivan show was enveloped when NBC began its 90-minute Spectacular at 7:30 p.m., half an hour before Sullivan went on.
