Strong States Rights
Plank Proposed for
Democratic Platform
By the Assoeioted Press

Democratic platform drafters
talked today of writing in a
strong States rights plank to
help cool off Southern resent
ment over President Truman'S
race legislation program.
The issue has stirred up major
problem for the platform writer's as
they get ready for their first meet
ing in Philadelphia tomorrow.
This is the reported aim of the
Platform Committee, headed by
Senator Myers of Pennsylvania:
To find some compromise salts
factory both to the hackers Of Pres
ident Truman's controversial pro-
gram which has split the party wide
open and to the Southerners who
oppose it.
The group plans to hold public
hearings tomorrow, Thursday and
probably Friday. The convention
opens Monday. The civil rights
question is expected to get a full
and possibly heated-airing before
both the committee and the full
convention.
Leaders of Negro groups, repre-
senting substantial voting strength,
have asked to be heard by Senator
Meyers committee. They are ex-
pected to demand plank calling
for antisegregation, anti-poll tax,
anti-lynch, fair-employment and
other civil rights legislation.
Meanwhile, at Minneapolis, Mayor
Hubert H. Humphrey, a member
of the Platform Committee, an
nounced that so party leaders, in
cluding Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr.,
will try to squeeze Mr.. Truman
entire program into the platform.
ANY such move would be sure to
meet Southern opposition.
Caught between the two disput-
ing groups, the compromisers were
reported to be considering this tack
as a middle ground which might
hold the support, however reluctant,
of both factions:
|. Put into the 1948 platform
the same general language on civil
rights that was incorporated IN the
1914 platform after bitter strug-
gle. 2. Follow this up with strong
plank stating the party's opposition
to Federal interference with States
rights.
Language Accepted in 1914.
The 1914 Democratic race plank
said:
I'VE believe that racial and re-
ligious minorities have the right to
live, develop and vote equally with
all citizens and share the rights
that are guaranteed by our Con-
stitution. Congress should exert its
full constitutional powers to pro-
tect those rights"
Southern Democrats accepted this
language in 1914.
The Republican Party, in its Phil
adelphia convention last month,
wrote into its platform plank ia
voring Federal legislation against
lynching and poll taxes and oppos-
Ing racial segregation in the armed
forces.
Negro leaders. reminding the COP
platform writer's that the 1914 docu-
ment had said nearly the same
thing, accused the party of having
failed to deliver on its promises.
Senator Chavez Democrat. Of New
Mexico said he wants to be listed
among those who will Insist that
the Democratic National Conven-
ton incorporate President Truman's
civil rights program with the party S
platform.

Some Of the anti-Truman Demo-
Gratis, notably Mr.. Roosevelt, son OF
the late President. continued to as
sert their belief that Gen. Eisen-
hover can be drafted for the presi-
dental nomination. Mr.. Roosevelt
insisted he and others will go
through with their Truman
caucus in Philadelphia Saturday,
two days before the Democratic Ma
tional Convention.
Such a caucus could plan to go
ahead and attempt to put Gen,
Eisenhower across on the first bal
lot and make him yes" or mo- to

course would be for them to drop
Gen. Eisenhower and center on an
other candidate-possibly Associate

Truman Seems Unperturbed.
Justice Douglas never has figured
very strongly in the calculations OF
those close to Mr.. Truman.
Outwardly, certainly. Mr.. Tru-
man seems unperturbed by the
storm swirling about his head. The
rash of runouts by top Democrats
appears only to have stiffened
his determination to capture the
presidential nomination and then
take his case to the people with re-
newed emphasis on his charges OF
congressional dereliction on import
ant issues.
The President refused to take any
further cognizance of the Eisen-
hover matter when his train
reached Cincinnati at 8 am. to-
day. Appearing briefly on the plat
form, he told reporters:

versed his course at quickened
pace.
He nearly lost the newspapermen
when he ducked into the waiting
room.
To an old friend in Springfield,
Mo-, where his special train made
morning and evening stops yester-
day, the President was quoted as

The evening turnout at the Spring

President broke his rule against
platform talks on this trip, and told
the Missourians Of his hopes fm

He was warmly applauded when
he drew a parallel between this

The Springfield stops gave the
President an opportunity to see sew

had been some thought that Mr..
