In Virginia Split;
Secretary Quits


RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 7.-Vir-
ginia's young Democratic clubs
executive committee voted tonight
to indorse the party nominees in
November after tumultuous four
hour session which eliminated In
the resignation of the committee
secretary. 5
Cloyd Martin, OF Radford, re-
signed after a vote to indorse the
party nominees overrode an hour
and a half speech against President
Humans civil rights program by
Fifth District Chairman Frank
Burton, jr., of Stuart. Mr.. Burton
walked out after the resolution was
adopted.
In his letter of resignation, Mr..
Martin attached the "fence-sitting
attitude of the committee.
The committees resolution avoid
ed mention of either the Truman
Barley or Thurmond-Wright
States Rights tickets A press re-
lease said the executive session had
perfected plans to support the
party nominees in the general cleo
ton in November"
Further Comment Refused.
President Thomas D. Odom, of
Suffolk, would not amplify the
statement. The executive commit
tee, he said, had no power to COM
NIT the organization to specific
candidate at this time.
II have personally always fol-
lowed the strong, conservative
Democratic leadership in Virginia, y
Mr.. Odom said, land see no rea-
son and have seen no reason to
vary my position.
The States rights contingent had
another view.
IT have always been a Democrat"
said Secretary Martin, land I al
ways will be. but ! cannot 60 along
with some of my fellows who call
themselves Democrats"
Won't Vote for Truman.
"As an American I cannot vote
for Truman" he continued; "as a
Virginian and Democrat I cannot
and will not vote for Dewey. Since
our party has not seen fit so far,
to accept our only alternative and
support Thurmond and his States
Rights platform. it leaves me no
choice except to resign as secretary
of the Young Democratic Clubs of
Virginia and as member Of the
Young Democratic Clubs OF Viz
ginia." Il = "a,
] delegate Burton, 4: son; of, State
Senator Frank P. Burton, claimed
he had held the floor against the
motion for more than an hour, and
had been forced to relinquish it.
Il took exception to the way the
chair ruled that I had relinquished
the floor" Mr.. Burton said. CAS- far
as I am concerned, I still have the
floor and there was no motion"
Burton May Resign.
Mr.. Burton had not resigned
from the executive committee late
tonight, but he said he was return
ing to his home to consult the local
membership.
Both delegates had apparently
come to the meeting hoping to
launch a Southern Democrats
movement. Stationery headed THE
Young Dixiecrats of Virginia" had
been printed for distribution at the
meeting.
1T was Just an idea that failed"
Mr.. Martin said.
The balance of the executive
committee made 1t clear that the
action of 1.-The Young Dixiecrats"
was taken strictly on their own.
