4 Convention Coverage • That Senator Humphrey definitely was President Johnson’s choice for the Vice Presidential nomination, and that Senator McCarthy would make the nomimating speech. NBC News Washington correspondent Robert Abernethy disclosed these developments while covering Senator McCarthy's news conference at the Shelburne Hotel in Atlantic City at about 7:15 p.m. — before they were reported elsewhere. — That Eugene (Bull ) Connor of Alabama had been ordered by a sergeant-at-arms to leave Convention Hall. NBC’s cameras were the only cameras to pick up Connor shouting, "They're kicking me out," as he marched off the convention floor. NBC's television floor reporter John Chancellor was the only reporter to interview Connor throughout the incident, which started at 7:29 p.m. EDT. — That President Johnson, as he was about to enter his plane at Andrews Air Force Base in Washington, introduced reporters to Senator Humphrey with the words, "I want you to meet the next Vice President of the United States." This development was reported at 8:48 p.m. by David Brinkley, co¬ anchorman with Chet Huntley of NBC's television coverage. Another highlight of NBC-TV's coverage was President Johnson's greeting to NBC News Washington correspondent Nancy Dickerson upon his arrival at Atlantic City's Bader Field. Mrs. Dickerson was the first news correspondent to be greeted by the President. When she asked how he felt, he replied, "Just fine. I'm so happy to see you. You've been doing wonderful. I've been watching you." The President told her he had decided on his running mate "in the middle of the afternoon." (more )
