| Description: | Highlights of the Democratic Convention in Los Angeles as the contenders for the nomination go down to the wire. Senator Frank Church's keynote address sounds the common battle cry, when the inter-party skirmishing is over and the real target, the G.O.P., is in sight. All the people at the convention on the out side of the building holding up banners and signs for the constitutes they want voted in. MCUS - Senator Symington. Symington waves his hat to supporters. Another rally, people with (Lyndon B.) Johnson signs. Senate Majority Leader, Lyndon Johnson. Another group with signs for Adlai Stevenson. MCUS - Adlai Stevenson. CUS - A young gal is holding up a printed sign," Vote For Stevenson, He's A Lousy Golfer." CUS - Stevenson with a lei on his neck, waving. A Congo line for Kennedy -- a group of pretty young women dressed in identical outfits bounce along, carrying and wearing signs to vote for JFK. Candidate John F. Kennedy makes his way through thick crowds. MS - Outside of Los Angeles Memorial Stadium. MS - Senator Frank Church a young Senator from Idaho. Senator Frank Church speaks, "We see the world in upheaval polarized by two gigantic adversaries the United States and the Soviet Union. At stake is the shape of the future. If the Soviet Union is Communism on exhibit, even more is the United States the showcase of Democracy. How urgent it is for us to show all the watching world that Democracy has the will to serve vital public needs. How ironic that our National Administration should has fallen into the hands of the "Hold Back Party" during times that beseech us, push ahead. Nominate a man who will summon this priceless heritage to work. Give us a leader with a program who, who's dimensions will match those of this atomic age. And the Democratic Party true to its tradition will lift this country once again, upon the high road of destiny." | |
