...currently critical of him. Their complaint: his "very definite lack of prudence." First count against him: allowing himself to be photographed saying Mass in the U.S. legation close to an American flag. Second: assigning his aide, Msgr.

Swinging through Ohio to aid Incumbent Senator George Bender, through Indiana, New York and New England, the Vice President moved eventually into Manhattan to be principal speaker at Francis Cardinal Spellman's annual dinner honoring the memory of Al Smith. There Nixon sailed beyond politics to statesmanship, predicted to a banqueting 2,500: "Most of us here will live to see the day when American boys and girls shall sit, side by side, at any school-public or private-with no regard paid to the color of their skin.
