Civil Rights Platform Set
For Democratic Convention
Los Angeles - IUPD - The
farthcat-reacliing civil rights
plank In party history went
before the Democratic Plat
form Committee today for
ratification.
The proposed platform was
tailored to the liberal pro
gram of Sen. John F. Ken
nedy. The civil rights planks, ana
thema to Southern supporters
of Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson,
was certain to touch off a
North-South battle - the ex
tent depending on Johnson's
exact standing in the presi
dential race when the issue
hits the convention floor
Tuesday.
Eight Point!
. A sympathetic reference to
sit-in demonstrations by Ne
gro students at segregated
lunch counters in the South
was but one of eight points
in the- civil rights program
written by a 20-member plat
form drafting subcommittee.
Treasure Said
Found in Lake
Coeur D'Alene, Idaho (UP&-
Two St. Louis deep sea divers
said Sunday they have found
Lake Coeur D'Alene s under
water treasure.
The divers, Jack Ross and
Dick Green, have been search
ing the north Idaho lake for
the past week hoping to find
the legendary silver reef
which allegedly was deposit
ed on the floor of the lake
when a harge overturned
many yea s ago.
Ross said he and Greer
found some flour-fine concen
trated lead already milled ly
ing in about a hundred feet
of water above Sandy Foint
-some 300 feet off shore.
Ross brought up a handful
of the lead and said while the
deposit is worth about $100
a ton, recovery would be cost
ly and there was not as much
of the lead as the divers had
hoped to find.
This provision cited "the
peaceful demonstrations for
constitutional rights" as one
evidence of need for vigorous
federal civil rights action.
Other points were under
stood to include a "pledge" to
eliminate the literacy test and
poll tax requirement in elec
tions. It calls for direct fed
eral control and operation of
registration and elections
when necessary to bar dis
crimination against Negroes.
Doubt Expressed
There was no doubt among
liberal forces that they would
win a convention floor fight
if the South decided to wage
an all-out battle against the
plank. Some labor leaders
were hoping the South would
do just this, to sharpen up the
issue for the 1960 campaign.
But several Southern lead
ers, while openly dismayed,
insisted there would be no
walkout even if the plank is
approved.
The plank was patterned
along not only Kennedy's lines
but also on a mandate laid
down by AFL-CIO President
George Meany and other of
ficials of organized labor.
They have been pressuring
for a tough civil rights plank
as "the key" to a strongly-
liberal 1960 platform.
Swipe at Johnson
The platform draft took
another implied swipe at
Johnson by calling for closing
of tax loopholes including the
depletion allowance which
benefits oilmen in his home
state of Texas and elsewhere.
Another provision echoed
Kennedy's statements that
taxes should be increased if
necessary to pay for the wel
fare programs supported by
the Democratic party. This
was in contrast to the party's
19S6 platform call for a tax
cut for low income groups as
well as increased spending for
welfare programs.
In foreign affairs, the docu
ment was understood to criti
c i z e President Eisenhower's
handling of events connected
with the U2 spy plane inci
dent and the summit collapse
and to call for modernization
of the nation's overall de
fenses to meet Russia's space
age challenge.

Increase Noted
In City Traffic
On 300 Streets
Traffic on Medford's city
streets is continuing to in
crease at an average rate of
about 5 per cent a year, City
Engineer Vernon Thorpe said
today.
The city is now about half
finished with a 1960 traffic
count at some 300 different
street locations in the city. Al
though the count is not yet
completed, Thorpe said, the
figures indicate that the re
sults will be about what was
expected.
Thorpe said a count is made
about every two or three
years to help the city plan for
future street development.
To get an average daily
count at any one location a
traffic counter is installed for
about one week.1 Thorpe said
the city has experienced diffi
culty in getting an accurate
count at several locations be
cause of persons tampering
with the tarffic counters.
Thorpe listed the results of
the traffic count at several
key locations in the city,
which, he said, are indicative
of the over-all picture.
Traffic Increases
Traffic on Riverside ave.
just north of Jackson St., has
increased from 10,400 cars
per day in 1957 to 12,970 in
1960. On Central ave., just
south of Main St., traffic has
increased from a 19S7 count
of 8,500 cars per day to. a
1960 count of 10,418.
On Main St., between Ge
neva and Cottage sts., traffic
increased from 9,283 to 9,699
cars per day between 1957
and 1960. On Crater Lake
ave., at Jackson St., traffic
this year averages 4,096 cars
per day compared to 1957's
average of 3,792.
Results of the count on
Jackson st. at Crater Lake
ave., show that traffic has in
creased from 3,818 cars to
5,081 cars a day during the
three-year period.
Thorpe said traffic on Main
st. at Lincoln st. averages
3.664 cars per day and on
Main st. at Quince st. it aver
ages 9,958 a day. These figures
cannot be compared to the
19a7 count, Thorpe said, be
cause the Main - Eighth sts.
couplet has been developed
since then.
