TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday. July 25. 1952 Rebellious Southerners Seated Without Taking Loyalty Pledge Chicago (U.R) Three rebel lious Southern states won the right to vote in the Democratic Convention Friday without sign ing a "loyalty" pledge which they refused to swallow at the risk of being thrown out of the party. The action apparently ended the possibility of a convention bolt by anti-Truman Southern ers who had threatened to shat ter Democratic unity in the face of an anticipated Dixie invasion by GOP nominee Dwight D. Eisenhower. Long Floor Fight The South Carolina, Virginia and Louisiana delegations were restored to full membership by vote of the convention after a blistering floor fight which raged into the early hours of the morning. Harmony-seeking middle-of-the road Democrats lined up be hind the three hold-out states to hand the liberal wing of the party a sound thrashing. Back ers of Averell Harriman and Sen. Estes Kefauver, D-Tenn.. angrily charged that sponsors of the Stevenson draft "made a deal with the Dixiecrats." Verval Assurances Given Standing solidly on their re fusal to sign even a watered down "loyalty" pledge engineer ed by Northern liberals, the three stetes were seated after giving verbal assurances that the party nominees to be named today would appear on the bal lot in their states in November., Bold threats of a new South ern uprising have been voiced by Govs. James F. Byrnes of South Carolina, Herman Tal madge of Georgia and Hugh White of Mississippi, all bitter foes of federal civil rights and other cardinal features of the Fair Deal. The Southerners, most of Court Advisory Group Sets Monday Meeting The Jackson County Juvenile court advisory committee is scheduled to meet Monday eve ning, July 28, at 8 o'clock in the circuit court rooms of the court house, it was announced today.

In the accident were a pickup truck driven by Sidney Jones, 324 South Central avenue, a logging truck driven by Law rence Darrell South. Central Point, and a truck d,r'ven by John Wesley Eads, 722 Broad street. Jones' pickup was badly smashed, but there were no in juries and no citations issued, the police said. Eads was driving north on Highway 99 when the traffic light changed and his brakes failed. His truck, owned by Johnny's Signs, Central Point, sideswiped the south-bound log ging truck, causing it to swerve into the pickup, police said. Jones was stopped on Highway 62, waiting for the traffic signal to change. There were two passengers in Jones' truck Delbert Boyd, Biddle road, and Janet Prowell, 1468 South Columbus avenue. whom' backed Sen. Richard B. Russell, D-Ga., came to the con vention hoping to recapture con trol of the Democratic party with the implied bolt threat as part of their strategy. Showdown Forced Governors of the three states Byrnes, Robert F. Kennon of Louisiana and John Battle of Virginia forced a showdown Thursday. They sent a joint let ter to Convention Chairman Sam Rayburn asking if "we are, or are not, members of the. con vention." The test came when Louis iana's name came up in the roll call for presidential nomina tions. Battle, amid boos, formal ly asked for a ruling. With great reluctance. Rayburn, a Texan, said the three states could not vote because they had not com plied with the loyalty require ment. Based on Statement Rep. Lansdale G. Sasscer, D Ivld., asked that Virginia be seated on the basis of a state ment by Battle that Virginia law required the Democratic nomin ees to be placed on the ballot. In a noisy, two-hour roll call, Virginia was seated by a vote of 615 to 529 after a number of states, including Illinois, switch ed enough votes to assure vic tory for the Virginians. A short time later, Battle mov ed that Louisiana and South Carolina be seated. Rep. John McCormack, D-Mass., who had taken the chair, put the motion to a voice vote and declared it passed.
