(UPI Telephoto) In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS TV may have Its shoddy spot, but they don't show up when It comes to report ing big news event. Convention coverage Is a good example. We don't need anybody this morning to tell us what happened. WE SAW IT HAPPEN. About all that remains is to flguc out what It meant. AT political parly conven tions, there arc two big events: 1. The platform. 2. The candidate. Let's put the situation In military term. The platform Is the HIGHER STRATEGY that Is to aay, the plan ot.the campaign. The candidate i the leader, ' whose job Is to carry out the campaign and WIN THE BATTLE. In Lo Angcle Tuesday night, the Democrat adopted their battle plan. Wednesday they chose the leader to carry it out. rpilE platform, as adopted, -l has two high spots. 1. The civil rights plonk. 2. The pie In the sky planks. THE big battle was over the civil rights plank. As written, It was a tough one. The Northern wing of the party supported It as written -for two reasons. The first reason Is that It Is RIGHT. If this Is to remain the United Slates of America, civil rights must be guaranteed for all of us ... not Just a few of us. ; The second reason is a little ! less admirable. The Northern wing of the Democratic party i proposes to use the civil rights Issue to Ret voles In the big, congested Northern ; cities, where racial feeling can be capitalized into votes. with things as they arc-not things as they were. AS to the platform's high spot No. 2, the sky In Los Angeles was full of pie. There was no battle on that. Everybody was for it. TT Is the long accepted rule that political parties In our country first adopt their plat forms and then pick their candidates. One would like to say that they pick the candidates to carry out the platforms. Un fortunately, It isn't quite that way. Speaking with brutal realism, platform arc fly-pa-por to catch unwary Ilies Once adopted, they are soon forgotten. ' It shouldn't be that way, but It Is.
