Cochairman of Committee Sees Stronger Stand Ls Angeles - IUPI) - The co chairman of the Democratic Platform committee agreed to day with Sen. John F. Ken nedy's prediction that the par ty will take a "more precise" stand on civil rights this year. Former Solicitor General Philip B. Pcrlman, who will preside at the opening of pre convention hearings by the 108-member committee today, told newsmen the civil rights "situation has changed a whole lot since 1956." Perlman explained that Congress has passed two civil rights bills since the last Democratic convention four years ago but these were con fined largely to voting guar antees. 'There are a tot of other problems connected with civil rights that have not yet been the subjects of legislation," Perlman said. "There are many - and I am not speak ing for the committee - but there are many people dis appointed that Congress has confined its bills to this one phase, voting." Perlman said the civil rights issue, source of past convention battles between Northern and Southern dele gates, again would be the most controversial platform item. And he said he would expect minority reports from the committee, composed of two delegates from each state, Puerto Rico, the Canal Zone, Virgin Islands and the Dis trict of Columbia. Agrees With Kennedy But he said he agreed with Kennedy's answer at a news conference Monday when the candidate for the presidential nomination was asked if he wanted a stronger civil rights plank than the one adopted in 1956. Kennedy said: "I think times have changed since 1956. I think the language will be different. I think it will be clearer, more precise and it will affirm more strongly the right of every American to have an equal opportunity to develop his talents."
