She had earlier mild clur Iiik a delegation caucus that "Kennedy supports a tron civil rlk'htu plank and he hoped the Oregon delcifutca would an well."

Mr. fireen sulci, "Tlil l one of the reason I am no enthusiastic about the plank. I think the Hit-In demonstra tions have been truly Impres sive for democracy. I want to commend these students. Their silent but eloquent pro test Is a most cucnuraKiiiK i(!ll." The civil riifhU plank call ed nn Congress and the execu tive brunch lo "protect and promote" rights Kuanintced under the constitution. It made nolo nf the fact that "in every city and stale in ((renter or lesser degree" there Is discrimination based on color, race, religion or na tional orlKin.

Work Law Pledged The Democrats pledged lo support legislation establish ing a Fair Employment Prac tices Commission "to secure for everyone the right lo equal opportunity for em ployment." Oregon has such a Inw, but n federal FEPC law has fulled tn gain enactment in Congress In past years. Stale Hep. Hubert Duncan, Medford, speaker of the Ore gon House of Representa tives, said: "I think one of the beauties nf this civil rights plank Is that it is directed not at any one section of Ihe country, but It applies to all sections of Oregon-where wc nro not without sin. "Medford, however, can be proud of the way In which they recently received Into our community a family with n darker skin, I am sure that this plank on civil rights will meet with the approval of all who value our American traditions," Sorvod on Committee Slate Son, Monroe Sweet land, Mllwauklc, and Miss Gladys Everett, Portland, served as Oregon's spokes men on the pin I form commit tee. SwecUnnd drew praise from Hid delegation for Ills work In nblalnlng a strong plank. Sweelland himself said die tone of the southerners on the committee was "ono of con ciliation; Ihey were almost plaintive," lie had served during Ihe last three Demo cratic conventions:, and ho said he has noticed a steady diminution nf Ihe Inlcnslly Willi which Ihey pleaded their case. The wiulherners liled a mi nority report, but there was no southern walk-out as oc curred during Ihe 1048 con vention. What does It mean' "Well " said Sweelland, "It ineuns the times are tvitelilni; up wilh the Issue. The whole while supremacy - southern waving of Ihe bloody shirt Is fad ing." Plank Provldei Toil Sweelland believes the Dem ocratic civil rights plank will "really put the Republicans lo the test to mulch It." Miss Everett found It "a liberal education" to serve on the platform committee, "I have always heard that a platform was Just all made up In advance, am! Die nlnt. form committee then rubber- stamps It. This is IiihI mil so," she said. Two rich-eaten fri tin nir)t slate labored for many weeks to put together an acceptable platform. Four regional meet ings were held: in Pennsyl vania. Chicago, Seattle, nnd in Los Angeles before the convenllon opened. Anyone was welcome to come before the group who llllri n milttf tn nlnH every Interested group' with a special ax lo grind.
