He suddenly looks over his shoulder to discover that both his coat and his pants have ripped and his underwear is showing. The label, "Civil Rights split," goes over the rip. Aghast, the elephant says, "This can't be happening to me." The Republican Platform Committee rejected the wishes of Vice President Nixon and New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller to include two key points in the Civil Rights plank: 1) a pledge to end discrimination in private and government employment; and 2) to endorse the objectives of the sit-in demonstrations taking place throughout the country. Many feared a floor flight at the Convention over the civil rights plank was inevitable.
