She had earlier mild clur

"Kennedy supports a tron

hoped the Oregon delcifutca
would an well."

enthusiastic about the plank.
I think the Hit-In demonstra

to commend these students.
Their silent but eloquent pro

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. It further stales:
"If discrimination In votlnK,

pressing questions elsewhere."
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

Gladys Everett, Portland,
served as Oregon's spokes
men on the pin I form commit

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

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

Two rich-eaten fri tin nir)t

The atmosphere was sub

platinum blonde volunteer for

but everyone else was dry
eyed. Stevenson's attention wus
riveted to the screen. He
scribbled from time to time on
a paper.
His luinily surrounded hlm
some in chairs, some on the
floor. John Fell Stevenson, his
youngest son and a camera :

statement lo the television
camerus. Ho announced his
enthusiastic support for Ken-;
