News in Brief: Ike Backer Asks Honest Convention Senator James Duff of Pennsylvania, one of General Eisenhower's leading backers, airs the squabble in Texas over separate delegations and says the American people want a fair convention, not one rigged by corrupt methods. Senator Duff stares at the camera while the narrator gives intro, then holds up a political button and says, "This is a button I have just received from Texas. They want an honest convention. Every Republican wants an honest convention..." He speaks at first somewhat stiffly, then passionately.
