Labor's monumental decorum was marred only momentarily, when two dozen student pickets infiltrated the meeting to protest against the war in Viet Nam, while Dean Rusk was defending U.S. policy before the convention. George Meany, like any true hero of the barricades, stumped over to the podium and growled: "Will the sergeant at arms remove those kookies from the gallery...

The legionnaires discovered that Rabbi Gittelsohn had been a sponsor of the peace march on Washington, withdrew the rabbi's award and printed new flyers showing Gushing and Stokes. Ouch. The Episcopal bishop protested that the rabbi had a right to protest and then himself refused the award. The Legion wearily ordered a third set of flyers picturing Gushing all by himself.
