After a compromise slate of ten delegates at large was presented to the convention, the chairman of the "Michigan for Eisenhower" committee moved for its election, the chairman of the "Bob Taft Committee of Michigan" seconded the motion, and the head of the "MacArthur for President Committee" moved that nominations be closed.
