A quick decision bv Speaker Sam Rayburn, after a mixed shout of yc and no volet,, pul Uie national convention's official approval on the new campaign document early Thursday morning. Delegates from Ocorgls snd Mis sissippi asked to be recorded as voting "no" snd one from Ten nessee objected to Ibc platform's lack of a congressional crime In vestigating committee plank. But skllllul maneuvers by Rep. John W. McCormack of Massachu setts, platform chairman, and Na llonnl Committee Chairman Frank McKuuiey produced a fair sample of party harmony. SHOUT OK J ' Tie shouted adoption, after Mc Cormack had "read the nearly 10, 000 words to tired delegate, was sweet music to party leaders who feared a repetition of 1046. In that vear a bluer floor battle for a stronger racial relations plank split Uie party wide open, and In the November election four Southern states were absent from the Democratic column. Aiding In the unity effort this time were Sen. John Sparkmsn of Alabama, for Southerners, and Philip B. Perlman. who recently resigned as solicitor general. Curiously, both Dixie delegates who Insist that slates and commun ities can best handle racial pro blems, and Northerner who want strong lotlorat ocuoo. r .claim ing victory. ' - ' The answer Is that the tame words and phrases. It handled skilfully, mean different thing to different people. NORTHERNERS Northerners such as Senators Lehman of New York. Humphrey of Minnesota and Bentos of Con necticut claimed the new plank was much stronger than 1948'. Southerners tuch as Senators 8narnian. Holland of Florida and Willis Smith of North Carolina said parts of the plank went a bit too far but they preferred party harmony to a fight. Actually the compromise was settled In two separate sections of the platform. . Northerners had Insisted on a plank demanding an end to senate filibusters that often have killed off civil rights and other bills. Instead they got . a broadly worded plank calling for Improve ment of'"conBresslonal procedures so that majority rule prevails and decisions can be made after rea sonable debate without being blocked by a minority in either house." , EFFORTS . "We will continue' our efforts to eradicate discrimination based on race, religion or national origin," the civil rights section states af ter calling for equal opportunities far voting, education, economic ad vancement and living conditions. "We know this task requires ac tion, not Just in one section of the nation, but In all sections," it con tinued In a style pleasing to South erners. "It requires the coopera tive effort of Individual citizens and action by state and local gov ernments." . Northerners liked the . next phrases: "It also requires federal action. "We favor federal legislation ef fectively to secure these rights to everyone: (1) the right to equal opportunity for employment) (3) the right to security of persons; i3i the right to full and equal par ticipation in the nation's political IJfe. frew from arbitrary restraints. "We also favor legislation to per fect existing federal civil rights statutes and to strengthen the ad ministrative machinery for the protection of civil rights."
