Demo- Platform
Is Framed But
Not Revealed
i
By Francis M. Le May
PHILADELPHIA, — i/P)—Dem
ocratic platform framers were re
ported today to have drawn a pre
liminary civil rights plank bid
ding for party unity through a
j revival of the 1944 race stand.
But there were no immediate
j signs whether the proposed com
promise can stop a convention
floor fight—between Southerners
and self-styled “Liberals”—that
could determine whether the Dem
ocrats will be one party or two
in November.
The tentative platform draft,
drawn by a seven-man subcom
mittee and yet to be approved by
the 108-member full platform
committee and by the convention,
was held in secrecy.
Southerners were said to have
lost their fight in the preliminary
drafting group for a States’ Rights :
plank. Previously, the Democratic
chairman, . Howard McGrath said
the administration might be will
ing to go along with such a plank
if it did not “nullify” the Civil
Rights proposal.
Senator Francis J. Myers, of
Pennsylvania, platform committee
chairman, described the super
secret document as following “gen
erally in outline the philosophy
of the new deal—a Roosevelt-Tru
man platform.”
It remained to be seen whether
the words the sleepy-eyed draft
ing committee of seven came up
with at 3:30 a.m., would please
either side in the red hot Civil
Rights battle.
North American birds that have
disappeared recently include the
Labrador Duck, Heath Hen, Es
kimo Curlew. Great Auk, Passen
ger Pigeon, and Carolina Para
keet.
