. Sparkman made the comment
to a reporter as the racial issue
raised a new threat to Democrat
ic Party harmony in this year's
election. This threat came in a
declaration released by Southern
members of Congress Sunday
night protesting the Supreme
civil rights platform plank
which would not split the party.
Four years earlier, many South

international convention in pro
test against the civil rights plank
written into the party platform.

man said:
"We always have some difficulty
dealing with the whole field of
civil rights. I hope we can find a
middle ground where each side
can understand the position of
the other."
Chairman Paul M. Butler of
the Democratic National Com
mittee said recently that he
expects -the party platform to
take' "a clear and firm stand"
in support of the Supreme
Court's school decision. How
such a plank can be written and
still be acceptable to the South
erners remains to be seen.
Sparkman was asked if he
shared the belief of some Demo
ocratic party strategists that
Democrats must" recapture the
electoral votes of the South if
they are to have any chance of
defeating President Eisenhower.
South "Highly Important"
'T think it is highly important
that the South be back in the
Democratic column this year,"
he said, "and I believe it will
be."
The Democrats lost four states
to Mr. Eisenhower in 1952 and
four to the States Rights Party
in 1948. Mr. Eisenhower also car
ried all but two of the normally
Democratic border states in
1952.
The 11 states of the old South
have 128 electoral votes, almost
half of the 266 needed to elect a
president. There are 47 more in
the border states "of West Virg
inia, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Miss
ouri, New Mexico and Arizona.
If the Democrats could bank
on those 175 electoral votes, they
would still need 91 to win the
presidency. Some of them figure
that a pickup of farm votes in
states like Illinois and Ohio,
they already have a
strong urban vote, will provide
the margin of victory.
ork Starts on Third
Rocket Stage of IGY
Artificial Satellite
Washington U.R) Work is
starting on a sort of souped up
and complicated roman candle
which will give the earth satel
lite its final push through space
at 18,000 miles an hour.
The "roman candle" is the
third rocket stage of the fiery
machine with which this coun
try hopes to launch the world's
first artificial moon next year.
Contracts long since were
awarded for the other stages
A new one, it was learned, has
now been let for the last and
trickiest and most critical stage.
It was not immediately learned
who got the award for stage
three.
Project Moving Ahead
But the mere fact that the
award has been made indicates
that Project Vanguard the
earth satellite program is mov
ing ahead in reasonably high
gear.
The satellite undertaking is
the most spectacular phase of
the 1957-58 international geo
physical year, a multi-nation ef
fort to amass new knowledge
of the earth and its star, the
sun.
The hope of scientists is that
the first satellite will be shot
into its orbit some. time between
July 1 and Sept. 30 next year.
The launching site will be Pat
rick Air Force Base, Fla., U.S.
test center for intercontinental
missiles.
Navy Building Project
Nobody knows whether that
goal will be met. But some of
the men closest to the project
told the United Press they are
operating on the theory that it
will. If there, is an initial fail
ure, or even several "We'll try
again." There will be no "tech
nological sacrifices just to meet
a target date."
The Navy,- in charge of Proj
ect Vanguard, has assigned to
the Martin Co. of Baltimore the
job of getting the '- satellite
launcher ready. Subcontracts for
Austin, Morris Car
Prices Increase
London UP) The British
Motor Corp., makers of the Aus
tin and the Morris automobiles,
announced a whopping 72 per
cent increase for the home mar
ket today.
The news leaked out before
the midnight deadline, sending
dealers rushing to buy cars at
the old prices.
Senator Seeks Lost
'Broken In' Lariat
Washington (U.R) Sen.
George W. Malone (R-Nev.), has
asked police to help -him find
a lariat he left in a Washington
taxi-cab.
Police said Malone told them
the lariat only cost him S5 but
is anxious to get it back be
cause "it takes six months to
break one in."
the first and second rockets
were awarded to General Elec
tric Co., and Aero-jet-General
Corp. of Azusa, Calif.
The Navy itself is building the
satellite. The American IGY
Committee said recently the
satellite would be an instrument-packed
globe 30 inches in
diameter. That was wrong. It
will be only about 20 inches
across. It will weigh about 21.5
pounds.

subdivisions in the Medford area
were discussed at a regular meet
ing of the city planning commis
sion last night.
The proposals would specify
requirements necessary for plan
ning commission approval of sub
divisions, and a standardized
form for preliminary and final
plats, in order to facilitate study
and speed action by the commis
sion. Date for a public hearing
on the rules was set for April 9.
Requirements Told

eliminate problems arising in the
growth of the city, would re
quire that subdivisions provide
sufficient street widths, alley
ways sanitary facilities, water,
sidewalks and curbing.
Minimum residential street
width in subdivisions would be
50 feet, with 36 feet paved and
7 feet on each side provided for
curbing, sidewalks and utility
installations. The width of sec
ondary streets would be 60 feet
but the required width of paved
section would remain 36 feet.
The required width for arterial
streets was left open.
Farm Zone Hearing

called a public hearing on pro
posed agricultural zone require
ments within the city limits, but
would provide regulations to
eliminate the pcssibility of a
public nuisance.
The commission last night
gave final approval to the Corn
ice Village subdivision, located
south of Stewart ave., near Jef
ferson school. A tentative plat of
the Jefferson subdivision, lo
cated in the same area, was also
approved. ' '
A request - for' permission to
annex property to the Kings

inconsistent with a policy, estab
lished by the commission, that
further extension of city services
to areas outside the city be dis
continued. Zone Change OK'd
The commission passed a rec
ommendation that the city coun
cil grant a change of zone from
