BIRMINGHAM, Ala, July 10
Angry Southern Democrats went
ahead today with plans to put
up their own ticket in the No
vember elections, but one of their
leaders said frankly they have
no chance of winning.
Others, however, were not so
pessimistic. They counted on a solid
Southern bloc of 1877 electoral votes
behind a Dixie candidate for Presi-
dent.
A conference OF States Rights
Democrats meets here tomorrow to
nominate candidates for President
and Vice President in opposition to
the uman-Barkley ticket.
Mississippis Gov. Fielding Wright
termed the conference "the begin
ming of our electoral fight to save
the South" Nomination of Presi-
dent Truman and adoption of his
civil rights platform make it i'm
perative" that the South take ac-
ton, he said.
It was another Mississippian. w

ernor), who threw cold water on
the South's hopes of sending a
States RICHTER" to the White
House. Mr.. Wright. the first dele
gate to arrive here after walking
out of the national convention, said
there is no chance of electing
Southerner.
The main purpose of the confer
ence, he said. is to defeat MIR. Tru-
man and get control of the party
back in the hands of the regular
Democrats
The Philadelphia Convention was
dominated by the big city ma
chimes who have taken temporary
control of the party" said the Jack
son MISS attorney, who is vice
chairman of the recently formed
States Rights Committee.
But, he added. the Novembe,
elections will take that control
away from the big city machines.
Asked if that was meant to be a
forecast of defeat for Mr.. Truman
the Mississippian replied yes"
Gov. Wright, who arrived here by
plane late yesterday direct from
Philadelphia, is expected to preside
at the opening OF tomorrow's meet
ing. Gov. Ben Laney of Arkansas
is permanent chairman of the
States Rights movement.

Other States Fighters still held
out hope of mastering enough cleo
toral votes to throw the election
into the House of Representatives
by keeping both Mr.. Truman and
Republican Nominee Thomas E.
Dewey from getting majority.

The Air Force today announced
expansion of its operations in
the troubled European area, with
the dispatch of go B-29 Super
Fortresses to three Royal Air

Simultaneous announcement OF
the B-29 transfer was made by the
American Embassy in London.
A British Air Ministry spokesman
said in London that the B-29s are
expected to arrive in England at
about 10 m. Is am. EDIT tomor-
row. He said the planes will stay
in Britain two to four weeks and
then will go to continental European
bases.
When asked to comment on this
statement, an Air Force spokesman
in Washington said:
when the planes get to Britain
they will come under the operational
control of Gen. Lemay and where he
moves them is his job
The Air Force announcement
merely stated that the groups have
left their bases in the United States
and are en- route to bases in Eng

CHARLESTON, S. c., July 16.-
Federal Judge J. Waties Waring

the party.
He told the 81 dewendants, all
State and county party leaders, that
imprisonment awaits any party off,
cial who fails to comply fully with
the spirit" as well as the letter OF
the decision.
Language Is Vigorous.

elimination provide that the
books be opened to all parties re-
gardless of race or religion - Will
fix a reasonable time for the books

"The time has come when racial
discrimination in political affairs
must stop.
Let me tell you that any dis
obedience to the letter and spirit OF
this ruling will result in contempt
proceedings, The parties respon-
sible for any violation will be

"It's a disgrace and shame" he
said, when you must come into

leaders who, he said, failed to abide
by the spirit" of his decision In
the case of Columbia Negro George
Elmore, who in July, l947. won the
right to participate in Richland

Judge Waring noted that his or
der in that case applied only to

$4,000 Navy Reserve
.0fficer Appointments
Are Made Permanent
Promotion Eligibility
To PoroIIeI ReeuIors;
DemobiIizotion No Bor
By ths Assoeioted Press

The Navy today :or the first
time since June 80, 1912, author
lied permanent appointments
for officers in the Navy Reserve,
effective August /. About 292, 900
officers in the Reserve will be
affected.
The result will be to place the
permanent rank structure of the
reserve on a basis paralleling that
of the regular Navy. This stabiliza-
tion will permit reserve ofiicers to
become eligible for future promo
tions at the same time as their reg
ular Navy contemporaries.
1t is estimated, for example, that
about 10000 reserve ensigns will be-
come eligible for promotion to lieu
tenant Junjor grade) this year.
Demobilization No Bar.
Reserve officers will be perma-
nently appointed to the highest
grade, exclusive of restricted spot
appointments, in which they serve
satisfactorily on active duty under
temporary appointments and IN
which their Regular Navy contem-
poraries are now serving.
Reserve officers who were de-
mobilized prior to the issuance OF a
directive, which would have tempo
rarily promoted them to a higher
grade, will now be permanently
appointed to that higher grade.
This action conforms to the Nays
policy of not permitting demobiliza-
ton to act as a promotion penalty
against reserve officers.
Thus these new appointments VIII
re-establish each Reserve ofhcer
with the same precedence, relative
to sther officers, which he held
prior to being released to inactive
duty.
Must Be Physically Fit.
To obtain his new permanent ap-
pointment. a Reserve naval omcer

ceptance, take the oath Of ONCE.

ness and evidence Of having per-
formed satisfactory service on active
duty.
