;': ' WEATHERING THREE STORMS during 5,000-mile voyage from Japan to San Francisco, this 50-foot ketch, Watarldorl ("Bird of Passage"), ran into trouble only when "safely" moored. Ebbing tide caused craft to heel, slightly damaging rigging. The crew, from left: George H. Folster, skipper; Bryan W. Stevens and John Gordon, ex-Navy lieutenants; Moriham Shizume, Yoshio Tanaka and Jun Kosugi, Japanese students. Stevens was navigator (International) Southerners Fight Against Odds On Civil Rights Platform Plank Chicago U.R) Southern Democrats fought against long odds Tuesday to work into the party platform a compromise civil rights plank tough enough to mollify the New Dealers without driving Dixie out of the Democratic camp. A 19-member drafting sub' committee headed by House Ma jority Leader John W. McCor mick of Massachusetts went back into secret session in a downtown Chicago hotel room in an effort to whip together a platform for submission to the party's national convention Wednesday night. Tentative Agreement At an overtime session Mon day night, the drafting subcom mittee reached tentative agree ment on a farm plank pledging the Democrats to maintain farm price supports at 90 per cent of parity on basic crops. The plank promised "a good net in come for all farmers" and "abun dant staple supplies for the con sumer at reasonable prices." Talk of compromise in the civil rights battle came almost entirely from a Southern con tingent led by Sen. John J. Sparkman of Alabama. The New Deal wing of the party was spoiling for a fight on the convention floor to dramatize the candidacy of its presiden tial contender, Averill Harri man of New York. Showdown Hoped Harriman lieutenants said franklv thev hoped to force showdown before the full con vention on a proposal by Sen Herbert H. Lehman of New York for a plank pledging the Democrats to outlaw the Senate filibuster. They said that is the key to the whole civil rights issue, because the South tradi- Medford, Mass., Man Visits Medford, Ore. A young man from Medford, Mass., dropped by to visit Med ford, Ore., yesterday. Gilbert Greenberg, 22-year-old Air Force reservist airman first class just released from active duty, was driving home with a couple of friends, and stopped to look over the west coast Med ford. His own home is a city of some 70,000 persons, but he finds Medford, Ore., a "mighty nice little town." He is travelling with Sgt. Don ald Cumming, Arlington, Mass., and Cpl. Robert McKinnon, Wo burn, Mass., who were all called into service at the same time, and served most of their 15 month tour of duty together. They have been stationed at Parks Air Force base in Cali fornia. Greenberg, a model airplane enthusiast who holds flying model records on the east coast, was interested in the Medford Prop Nuts model club, and said he had read about it in model magazines. FILE YOUR GRIPE HERE Chicago (U.R) If his garbage isn't picked up, a taxpayer in Pittsburgh doesn't call the gar bage collector but the city serv ice center. The center was open ed to handle all complaints against the city. It operates on a 24-hour a day basis. The gripes are referred to the proper de partments for action. The drift of polar ice has long been noted by Arctic explorers. An example cited by Commander Donald B. MacMillan concerns a pair of pants. Commander Mac Millan says that a friend left his pants on the ice off Siberia in 1881 and they were found at Cape Farewell, Greenland, in 1884.

With the bandwagon for Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson begin ning to move, the Harriman strategists apparently regarded a civil rights fight as their only hope of copping the Democrat ic nomination. Appear Willing Sparkman and other Southern leaders appeared willing to ac cept a generalized anti-filibuster proposal provided it could be written into a platform plank on congressional reorganization rather than thct on civil rights. All the signs were that they hadn't a prayer of putting it across. The drafting subcommittee ig nored the civil rights issue at its first meeting Monday night. Titoist Movement Feared By Chinese Commie Leaders Hong Kong U.R) The Chi nese Communists are not as sure of themselves as they were three years ago. They are worried about the possibility of a Tito ist movement and are beginning to fear that their regime may not be eternal after all. Information from the mainland indicates that skepticism about the future was caused by the many "shocking and altogether unexpected cases of corruption, deviationism unearthed by the recent "three-anti" and "five-an-ti" movements. Communist press dispatches re ceived here over the last few months made no bones abbut what they had found in the two movements. "Anti-party activi ties" among members holding re sponsible government and party jobs were said to be common. Some Purged Some branch party headquar ters secretaries, including Tai Chi-ying of Kaifeng, Honan, were purged for "anti-party ac tivities." Some members were said to have "lost faith in the party." One of them, "long march" veteran Wang Ching of Hankow, was caught trying to steal government funds to es cape Hong Kong, according to the Yangtse Daily News party organ in Hankow. Other members were said to have been scared into apathy by the "three-anti" movement and were shirking administrative re sponsibilities. The Liberation Daily of Shanghai reported con siderable "buck-passing" among officials. It said one educational and cul tural department official, for in stance, had not made a single speech or written a single article since the movement had started "for fear of getting into trou ble." Admits Danger All that has led a top-ranking Communist official to confess for the first time since the main land was conquered, the possi bility of Titoism and perhaps a fading out of the Peiping re gime. The Yangtse Daily News be latedly disclosed in a report re ceived here that Teng Tze-hui, political boss of central-south China, made the confession in a public speech on May Day last, attacking the merchant class in Red China. Ten's fears hardly indicate a collapse or sharp decline of the Communist power in China in the near future. Its purpose might have been an attempt to combat a sense of security and complacency in the party and to maintain the old revolutionary fervor. Teng's speech would, however indicate that some change has lately come over Communist thinking to shake the fanatical faith in their destiny. Carbon Steel To Be Licensed for Export Washington (U.R) The government announced today that carbon steel will be licen sed for- export in the last quar ter of this year for only 10 "es sential" purposes. At the same time, it set a 6,000,000-pound limit on alumin um exports in the October-December quarter, and a quota of 10,320,000 pounds for copper exports during those three months. TuediY.
