Mr. Morrow answered that it was not customary. Cameramen rushed up to "snap" him and Mitchell remarked: "I think all this is useless, Mr. Chairman."

...Great Ceremony. The entire plaza before the Capitol was packed with people, more than 50,000, ex- tending far beyond ear reach. Cameramen were hastily making ready their machines on every vantage point. The threatening clouds had rolled away and it was clear and sunny. Ushers began to lead the various parties to their seats.
