Desire for Change Called
| Democrats Worst Peril
sx The As.ee;o,ed Pres,


PHILADELPHIA, June 10.-The
Democratic Party's most potent
enemy is the millions of people say
ing 'it's time for change" Mrs.
India Edwards, executive director Of
the women's division, told the Demo-
cratic National Committee today.
Mrs. Edwards said that half the
party's 1948 job is getting the inde-
pendent vote into the Democratic
column-and that there are more
independent women voters than men.
It must be pointed out to those ask
ing a change, she said, that the Re-
publicans have been in contrd Of
Congress for two years. =
"All women today are. frantic
about rising prices" Mrs. Edwards
said. They want something done
to bring those prices down. We must
convince them that President Tru-
man has a plan for doing this and
that he can put that plan into oper-
alton if he has a Democratic Con-
greSs that will work with him."
The women's division will buckle
down during the convention to the
job of attracting the woman's vote.
Women delegates, alternates and
National committeewomen will at
tend a four day Campaign school,
apd speakers seminar" to learn or
refresh the techniques and ABCs Of
vote catching.

Negro Protest Fails
To Unseat Delegation
From South Carolina
BY the Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA, July 10-A pro-
test against the seating of the South
Carolina Democratic delegation to
the convention was thrown out to-
day by the National Democratic
Committee.
The South Carolina Progressive
/ (Negro) Democratic Party tried un-
successfully to contest the dele
cations credentials. 1t contended
that Negroes had not participated
in the precinct meetings at which
delegates were chosen to the county
and State conventions.
The Progressive organization,
headed by John H. McCray, Co.
lumbia Negro newspaper editor, was
not represented at the committee
meeting. Mr.. McCray could not be
reached here, although he had a
johnson Moves to Seat Group.
The committee was informed OF
the protest by Chairman McGrath,
who appointed a subcommittee
headed by Frank M. McHale OF
Indiana to hear it.
Senator Johnston, the South Caro-,
lima National Committeeman, moved
to seat the delegation named by the
State Democratic Convention
"We are the regular party in South
Carolina" Senator Johnston said.
I'VE held regular precinct meetings
and chose delegates to the county
conventions and State convention.
Il do not know if the other people
held precinct meetings and I do
not know what kind of State meeting
/ they had s. {.
Mr.. McHale quickly seconded Sen
ator Johnston's motion because we
must accept the certifications of the
regular State organization"
But One Choice to Make"
| 1--WE have but one choice to make
Mr.. McHale told the committee.
He said his subcommittee could
not do anything but recommend"
the seating of the regular delega-
ton. The charges contained in the
protest, he added, could not be sub
stantiated"
After Mr.. McHale's statement, the
committee adopted Senator Johns
tons motion without objection.
Gov. j. Stron Thurmond and
State Chairman William P. Baskin
were among delegates who arrived
today. The main body of delegates

the conclusion that the work OF
the convention may be dealt with
speedily and that it will adjourn
not later than Thursday night. He
even he'd out hope that adjourn
ment could be reached by Wednes-
day night.
President Truman, Senator Nc
Grath said, had indicated a pref
erence for receiving formal notifi-
cation of his nomination at his old
home in independence, Mo. This
course may be followed, instead OF
having the President come to Phil
adelphia to accept the nomination
at the hands of the convention i'm
mediately.
Doesn't Fear Reception.
Senator McGrath was asked il
this preference on the part OF the
President was dictated by fear OF
an unfriendly reception for Mr.
Truman by the national convention
Il do not think that is a factor
at all in the Presidents thinking,
he replied.
There is, however, little enthu-
siaSm among the Democratic leaders
and delegates here for the conven-
ton at the thought of Truman
nomination. The attitude is, on the
part of many of them: Let's get
it over with and 60 home"

delay in adjournment are a pos

ued to breath fire and birthstone
against a Truman nomination.
Their former allies from the North
and West however. deserted them,
after Gen. Eisenhower's definite
statement he would not accept a
nomination for president.
Henderson Presses Fight.
Leon Henderson. national chair
man of the Americans for Demo-
cratic Action, insisted he would
continue his fight against President
Truman and in favor of the NOM
ination of Justice Douglas for
president He sounded, however,
like a lone voice calling in the
wilderness.
The Southern revolt against Mr..
Truman, on the other hand, con-
tinues. There is a big batch OF
delegates from the South who will
never vote for him.-Some of them
are instructed not to give him
support at any time. Senator
Johnston of South Carolina today
failed to go through with his plan
to offer a resolution in the meeting
Of the Democratic National Com
mittee urging the president to stand
aside and permit the nomination of
Gen. Eisenhower. He said that in
view of the Eisenhower statement,
he would not press such resolution.
The Senator declared, however,
that South Carolina would present
to the covention a candidate other
than Mr.. Truman and vote for that
candidate Other Southern States,
he predicted, would join in. They
might all agree on candidate.
A number of conferences will be
held tomorrow to map course for
the Southern delegates.
Civil Rights Plank.
The hope of the Truman forces
has been to so draft the civil rights
plank for the party platform that
the Southerners would be appeased.
Indeed, Senator McGrath said that
if the 1914 civil rights plank was
followed in the new platform it
would reduce discussion. He added
he would have no objection of a
States rights provision were added,
provided it would not nullify the
true intent of the plank, under
which President Truman had sent
to Congress his civil rights program.
The party chairman has reached

They called on Chairman Nc.
Grath of the Democratic Nationa

some way to get new Democratic
electors on the ballot in Alabama.
Senator McGrath told them that
under Alabama law, he knew OF nc
