usually well under control and
reached its pitch at 9:35 pm, when
Arthur Godfrey, the master of cere-
monies, exhorted over the public ad-
dress system:
There are 16 million radio sets
now tuned into this park. Let's show
them we can yell. Come on, all of
you!"
The throng, which had been wait

clowns, fireworks and donkey base

acceptance speech had been drowned
at times oy the playing of the band,
screamed, whistled, clapped, cheered
and spun tin noise makers for five

spoke.
Il want to say Washington is the

At intervals, the f1oodlights were
