To this end he has given his personal blessing to such new senatorial candidates as Kentucky's John Sherman Cooper, Kentucky's Thruston Morton, Oregon's Douglas McKay and Colorado's Dan Thornton.

NBC's Chet Huntley. caught with his mike open, was overheard asking for a cup of coffee, later introduced Herbert Hoover Jr. as "Hoobert Hover"; Daly referred to "the late Senator John Sherman Cooper" (who later rose to address the convention); Elmer Peterson (NBC) reported: "Now the President's plane is landing at Los Angeles' International Airport...
