MEDrORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE
Northern, Southern Democrats Continue Strain; No Split Seen
Atlantic City, N.J. (U.R The
ml tug-of-war between North
ern and Southern Democrats
kept a strain on the party today
but there were no signs of real
eager-nest lor a split in the
ranks.
Pressure and counter-pressure
was evident among Democratic
governors on hand here for the
43th annual Conference of Gov
ernors. After week end prelim
inaries, the "non-political" con
ference moved today into dis
cussion of such mutual state
problems as education and high
ways. ,
The conference actually gave
Gov. Averell Harriman of New
York a chance to court uncom
mitted Democratic governors in
his challenge to Adlai E. Steven
son for the Democratic presi
dential nominations.
Invites Fellow Governors
He invited 24 of his fellow
Democratic governors present to
drop in to .his hotel suite Tues
day evening.
But if Harriman had any
tricks up his sleeve to pull a
political coup this week, he was
not yet ready to show them.
The Democrats admitted free
ly they expected to talk some
k politics this week. Republican
governors stuck to the party line
that President Eisenhower will
run and win again, whatever
the Democrats did.
In a series of news confer
ences, Harriman and Govs. G.
Mermen Williams of Michigan
and Robert B. Meyner of New
Jersey predicted the Democrats
will write a party platform that
the south will accept.
No Walkout Talk
None of the three "liberals"
would admit the possibility of
Mysterious Objects
In Oregon Sky Traced
Oceanlake, Ore. (U.R) The
Coast Guard swung into a sea
and aerial search along 50 miles
of Oregon coastline here yester
day for a pair of "mysterious"
white objects in the sky.
The search started when a
coast resident reported sighting
two white objects, possibly para
chutes, drifting to the surface
of the Pacific.
The reports expanded and
soon included a cloud of smoke
on the horizon and the hearing
of a plane overhead shortly be
fore. Coast Guardsmen finally
traced the objects of mystery
to a point called Roads End,
vhere sure enough two white
objects hunjr in the sky.
The objects were a pair of
kites safely anchored by two
small boys while they played on
the beach.
The lads were instructed to
haul in the kites for the day.
Southern walkout from the
national convention.
And none would make any
rash forecasts about the chances
of a Democrat to carry their
own states against President Eis
enhower next November.
Williams said the candidate is
secondary to the platform and
that he thinks Mr. Eisenhower
can be beaten.
Harriman conceded that he is
not the "candidate of the South"
for the nomination, but he
would not identify Stevenson,
who has much Southern support,
as that candidate.
Could Gel Negio Vote
Freedom from Southern back
ing could mean the support of
big northern states with a sub
stantial Negro vote.

Ridder Said Improving
From Auto Accident
London (U.R) American
newspaper executive Victor
Ridder, 70, was reported "much
improved" today from injuries
received in an automobile acci
dent. His son, Walter, Washington
correspondent for the New York
Journal of Commerce, said his
father was "coming along nice
ly" at London Clinic.
Ridder is vice president and
a director of the Journal of
Commerce and has interests in
other publications.
that the Democratic platform
must contain a declaration of
support for the Supreme Court
decision outlawing racial segre
gation in public schools.
There was disagreement from
Mrs. Green Sees Ike
Losing Feminine Vote
Washington (U.R) Rep.
Edith S. Green, (D-Ore.), said
yesterday she believes most
women will not vote for Presi
dent Eisenhower because they
"won't fall for the Madison ave.
approach" to election cam
paigns. She referred to the practice
of the Republican national com
mittee of calling upon promin
ent New York advertising firms
for campaign advice. She also
said women were more concern
ed than men about the presi
dent's health.
But she said that she could
not remember getting any let
ters in her office regarding the
President's "health or popular
ity." Mrs. Green said she thought
there was "no disadvantage" to
being a "woman in Congress. But
said a "few members" of Con
gress would like to "see the 19th
amendment repealed." The 19th
amendment to the constitution
gave women the right to vote
and hold national office.
Gov. George Bell Timmerman
Jr., of South Carolina, who is
trying to promote a Southern
unity movement. He denies he
is trying to promote a third
party.
Democratic Exploratory Session
Timmerman announced that
some Democratic state chairmen
from the South will hold an
exploratory session soon, prob
ably at Atlanta.
He told newsmen that letters
containing the South Carolina
proposal went to governors,
party officials and members of
Congress in 11 states. He said
only Sens. W. Kerr Scott (D
N.C.) and Walter F. George
(D-Ga.) and an unidentified
House member objected.
It is known however that Sen
ate Democratic Leader Lyndon
B. Johnson has replied that he

lina plan.
It appeared that Timmerman
had not seen the Johnson replay
or that it was couched in such
vague language as to be inter
preted as a favorable response.

He was unopposed in the Sat
