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

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

1881 and they were found at
Cape Farewell, Greenland, in
1884.

tionally has used the fillibuster
to talk to death civil rights leg
islation. 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.
