With their husbands, they starred at separate recep tions for delegates and alter nates. The first half hour "of the two hour , ordeal was almost too much for Mamie. When she started gasping for aid, Ike led her to a nearby chair for a rest. After the party was over, Mamie confessed "it was my feet not my hand" that took the most punishment. First Appearance It was Martha Taft's first big public appearance since she suf fered a stroke two years ago. The Senator preceded his wife to the ballroom of the Conrad Hilton hotel and started shak ing hands early. When Mrs. Taft was rolled on the stage in her wheel chair, he left the line to give her a big hug and a kiss.
