PHILADELPHIA, July IA. Tit
Democratic Party platform calls or

and transmitting news.
Four years ago the party platform
set a goal of protection "by treaty
of the world right of all men tt
write, send and publish news at uni
form communication rates and with
out interference by governmental OF
private monopoly" The United
Nations did not exist in 1914.
Appeal Includes Television.
The new plank kept pace with
modern invention by including tele-
vision in the appeal for freedom OF
news communication. The full text
says:
I'VE urge the vigorous promotion
of world wide freedom in the gath
ering and dissemination of news by
press, radio and television, with
complete confidence that an in
! formed people will determine wisely
the course of domestic and foreign
policy.
I'VE believe the primary step
toward the achievement of world
wide freedom is access by all peoples
to the facts and the truth. To
that end we will encourage the
greatest possible vigor on the part
/ of the United Nations Commission
on Human Rights and the United
Nations Economic and Social Coun-

which free dom can exist in every

here three weeks ago contained nc
reference to news freedom.

Wyatt to Nominate Barley.
The plan of the Kentucky delega-
ton Is to have Wilson Wyatt, for
mer Mayor of Louisville and former
Federal Housing expediter, make tire
speech placing Senator Barley in
nomination.
The depth of feeling and bitter
ness which may be expected If there
is a floor fight over the civil rights
plank in the platform was given a
preview last night when the ma
jority report of the Credentials
Committee of the convention, seat
ing the regular delegations-all OPP
posing President Truman-of MIS-

glnia was approved.
George Vaughn of Missouri, Ne
gro, spoke for a minority report,
dealing with Mississippi He was
hooed on the one hand, cheered on
the other to the extent that Chair
man Barley had great difficulty
preserving order. The contest was
decided on a voice vote, but several
States demanded to be recorded as
supporting the minority report.
After the address of Permanent
Chairman Rayburn, Senator Bark
ley returned to the rostrum to list
the States and announce that the
support for the minority report
totaled SOB votes.
Galleries Finally Filled.
For the first time the visitors GAL
leries and the seats on the floor Of
the convention were nearly filled,
and the spectators In the gallery
had their part in the uproar.
The South lost a battle, when it
sought to have restored the old
two thirds rule for nominating
presidential and vice presidential
candidates, last night. When the
report Of the Committee on Rules
was submitted, a minority report
favoring the two-thirds rule-which
was abandoned for majority rule in
the convention of l936-was offered,
too The South made the fight,
seeking again to have a veto on
nominations of candidates they con-
sidered hostile to the South-as
they consider President Truman,
with his civil rights program.
After the floor fighting, Senator
Barley surrendered the gavel to
Representative Rayburn. and the
House minority leader delivered a
slashing attack on the Republican
national ticket and the Republican,
dominated Congress.
The Pennsylvania delegation,
with "a votes. in caucus last night
