 We believe that racial and relig- ions minorities have the right t0 liye. develop and vote equally with all citizens and share the rights that are guaranteed by our Constitution. Congress should exert its full cons stttuti0nal powers to protect those rights.

 G.L. NR SPEECH
Correspondent Takes Yer. bal Crack at Clare Luce
 for c. 0. P. Assertion

Chicago Stadium. July 2l.-(UPD The Democrats had a double. barreled answer for the Republicans Glare Boothe Luce and her Q. I. Sim" specch--a movie actress who matched her glamor and a war correspondent who said nobody could presume to talk for c. \ Joe or c. I. Jim.
 From the very rostrum where Connecticuts Mrs. Luce turned on the charm and ora;ory for the COP three weeks ago, Helen oahagan Douglas and Correspondent Quen- tin Reynolds did the same--in that order-for the Democrats last night.
 Miss 0ahagan. California na- tional coEnmitteewonan and wife oi movie star Melvyn Douglas, didn't give away anything to Mrs. Luce tn the glamor and fashion depart ments. And she got a few good oratorical licks. too.
 Reynolds won speech-making hon. ors. He took Mrs. Luce across his knees-figuratively speaking - and spanked her for having brought the spirit Of a dead soldier c'O. I. Jim") into this convention hall last month
 Leaning over the podium as if he were chatting with n couple of friends, instead Of addressing a jam packed crowd Of 5000. Key holds c0nfided:
 Nov I do not propose to speak for your son abroad. and would never commit the unlloly sacrilege of speaking for his dead brother wlho had been killed in combat"
 Then came the spanking for Mrs. Luce:
 No manor wonlan-can speak for him. We can only accept his sacrifice humbly and not presume to speak for him with our un- worthy tongues. Nor can any Of as speak politically for the c. l. who fights tonight"
 Explaining that he was an "ama- teur in politics" Reynolds said
 T realize that 1t is not cais- tonaary for an amateur to appear on the platform Of a political conven- tion but after all. the Repub- licans set the precedent last month when they presented many. many amateurs at their convention"
 Then, with a note Of reverence in his voice. Reynolds spoke Of the q. I.is with whom he has lived in combat.
 These men. he said. know what they're fighting for. Nobody has to tell them. They have re-disc0yered America on the fields Of Normandy and on the blo0d-staiiled sands of Eaipan and they are. he said fighting for this America-"for the right to baK1 out the umpire"
 And they want the forthcoming presidential campaign to be fought cleanly, he continued, because to them # is ''an argument strictly in the family and if it is con- ducted in an other manner there will be 2 sharp reaction from them" They want no name-cailing in the campaign because they have room in their hearts for only one hatred -fhe enemy" ne said.
