 COMRADE FROM ICY WATER

SEATTLE = Three Alaska Com munications System radio operators returning two days ago from a two day hiking trip into the tundra fields surrounding the air base at Naknek. Alaska. became involved in a gripping drama that almost cost the life of one of them.

 The two days that they were on the trip it raiued necessarily and the normally shallow river they had to cross on their return trip had swollen in size to a raging torrent of bitterly cold water 75 feet wide and six feet deep. The three decided to swim across so Munson, being an expert swimmer made three trips aorcss carrying their clothing.
 Saft next walked into the freez- ing water and struck out for the other side. He suddenly discovered he was a rank amateur al swim ming. and as the current carried him downstream, became panieky.
 Miraculously, he was swept past a wire running into the water which he grabbed and to which he elung. .aA
 Munson, still cold and faugued from his previous crossings, quick ly ran upstream about feet from where Saft was stranded and once more plunged into the chilling waters. He misjudged the terrific speed of the current and was swept past Saft before he could gets near him. Again he reached shore and ran upstream. but this time to 8 point about 50 feet above Saft By this time Saft had been in the wa ter for several minutes and was suffering intensely from the cold.
 Munson succeeded in reachlns Saft on his second try and, swim ming laboriously, he barely made headway as he pushed Saft ahead

NP)-When PRESIDENT harry ..
Truman announced in his accept
ance speech at the Democratic
party convention here last week
that he was going to call a special
session of congress July 26, he re-
leased a bombshell that will put
both parties on the spot just be-
fore the November elections.
The congress is not the only
body put on the spot by this con-
vention, however. The nomination
of Sen. Alben Barley as vice
president and it's effect On the
south and on the Negro, the fu-
ture attitude of the south toward
party and the future of the Demo
Gratis are also questions brought
to the front by the convention.
Because the President has call
ed congree to meet, voters will
have a first hand chance to look
at the record just before an cleo
ton. Negroes will be watching es-
pecially the action on civil rights.
The Republicans will be watch
ed because they are the majority
group in congress. The Democrats
must be careful, too, because OF
what the southerners may do. This
congress may we'll determine the
unity and future of the party. In
his acceptance speech, the Presi-
dent called for unity in the party.
He said:
"There have been differences
of opinion and that is the Demo
cratic way. These differences
have been settled by a majority
vote as they should be, and it is
time for us to get together and
beat the common enemy and that
is up to you"
This appeal for unity came at
ter an open split on civil rights
Mississippi's % delegates and IL
of Alabama's delegates walked out
of the convention before the Presi'
dent was nominated.
An hour long debate on civil
rights was held on the floor with
the south sticking to states rights
and a liberal group led by Mayor
Hubert H. Humphrey of Mime
apolis, and ex-Rep. Andrew Bic
muller of Wisconsin, fought for 6
strong civil rights plank.
After a states rights amend
ment introduced by Gov. Dan
Moody of Texas, failed by a vote
of 925 to 800, the civil rights pro
posal squeezed by favorably
661A to 582A.
The Humphrey amendment
praised the President, eve high
ly commend President Harry S.
Truman for his courageous stand
on the issue of civil rights"
It also calls for congress to
pass laws for "the right Of full
and equal political participation,
the right to equal opportunity of
employment, the right of security
of person the right of equal treat
ment in the service and defense
Of our nation"

his running mate. Some Negroes
are not so sure of the senator
because he is a southerner.
1t is generally believed that his.
nomination is serving as appease-
ment to bring the, south back into
the party fold.
Party leaders point out that the
senator and Franklin D. Roosevelt
were good friends. They note that
Barley was long a "New Deal
wheel horse" who supported
Roosevelt. Whether this label is
correct or not in influencing votes
can only be determined by the
election, itself.
A noticeable figure at the con-
vention was Edgar G. Brown,
president of the National Negro
council, and his petition calling
for the ousting of Rep. Rankin of
Mississippi from congress. The
petition also asked TO ra special
session of congress to pass such
legislation as FEPC, anti-lynch,
anti-poll tax and other laws.
The abolishing of the filibuster
in the senate. and the cutting
down of the south's representa-
ton in Congress was also asked
for.
Now that the President has
called congress, the nation is.
awaiting the action of both oar
ties during the coming session.
The Ohio daily-express. (Dayton, Ohio) 1946-1950, 1948-07-21
Both Parties on
Spot by Special
Session of Congress

The party's platform committee
already had approved a watered
down civil rights plank which said
practically nothing. The south was
not satisfied with this version, so
it offered a states right amend
ment:
"We call for the adherence to
the fundamental principles Of
states rights as reserved in the
federal constitution and pledge
that we will oppose any attempt
by legislation or otherwise to
evade the exclusive jurisdiction of
the states in their domestic af-
fairs"
Because this plank was reject
ed the 35 Alabama and MISSISSIPPI
pi delegates bolted the meeting.
Several states from the south
have planned to hold their own
convention, and nominate their
own candidate, probably Govt Ben
Laney of Arkansas.
Southerners gave varying views
on civil rights. Cecil Sims and
Mrs. Albert E. Hill of Tennessee,
said they did not object to a mid
die of the road states rights
plank. Walter Siller of MISSISSIPPI
pi, said that he did not want any
kind of civil rights.
One southerner, paraphrasing
William Jennings Bryan, said that
the convention shall not "crucify
the south on a cross of civil
rights"
Speaking for civil rights, May
or Humphrey said, eve must get
out of the shadow of states rights
and walk forthrightly in the
bright sunlight of human rights
Outside of civil rights the A.
500 word party platform was
adopted without conflict.
Whether the party will ose OF
gain Negro votes because of Sen
Barley is a big question. Some
feel that Negroes will vote fol

can't be done, he said, by any one
group.
He expressed the belief that soil
conservation districts are the vehi-
Gle through which the conservation
Job can be done most democratical-
ly, efficiently and economically. He
stressed the points that soil conser-
walton districts are non-political,
place responsibility in the hands of
local people, serve all lands within
their boundaries, and are not re-
sponsible to any federal agency.
The local governing bodies admin
lister district affairs without person
benefits or financial gains, and the
progress of a district is the result
of voluntary action which is for the
common good of all people of the
nation.

that farmers and ranchers, under
direction of the local people
through soil conservation districts,
can take care of a large part of the
conservation job in the United
States if they are given the neces-
sarv technical assistance.

perience, he conctinued, that
