Civil Rights
Missed In
Demo Stand
By KDVS'l.N B. HAAK1NSON
CHICAGO . fH) Democrats
pledged prosperity, peace and pro
gress to the nation's voters Thurs
day in a platform that avoided
put party feuds over "civil
rights."
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."
