ANY Nc CHANGE MAY INCREASE FREIGHT RATES
 SAYS G. ". SKINNER

SEATTLE - Any change by the Maritime Commission iu the re- gently expired Alaska shipping pro gram probably will result in in creased rates to Alaska, c. W. Skinner, President Of the Alaska Steamship Co.,, said this wtek. Skinner, who also is part owner .Of the Northland Transportation Company, made the statement in connection with a flat denial of assertions that the recent program had been a gravy train.'
 Btnefits from the program have gone to Alaska IS reduced rates, Skinner asserted.
 The operators have certainly made no gravy train profits out of the postwar shipping program, he said.
 The gravy train" allegation was madt by Maritime Commission CT Grenyille Mellen in announcing the reestablishment of Alaska shipping on a commercial basis.
 Mellen said at Washington, b. C., Monday that the Commission has no formal consideration for new Alaska ship prgram. 1t will wdth- hold action, he said, until il has received formal application from the four Seattle-Alaska lines for eight-month extensions as approved by Congress.
 The new law, however, substi- tutes may" for shall" in propos- ing a shipping program similar to the old one.
 Mellen said the old agreemeu provided the companies with gov ernment-Owned ships at $1 per year charter hire with the govern ment required to carry full insur- ance costs, not only on it's ships, but on privately owned vessels too.

DEMOCRATS APPROVE
 PLATFORM BY VOICE VOTE

PHILADELPHIA - The Demo crats shouted into their plat platform Wednesday call for civil rights laws such as Presi- dent Truman had asked and made ready to hand him their Presiden- tial nomination. %
 Overriding their platform-writ ing committee, 651la to 5S2 13 tn delegates approved a flat declara tion against race discrimination | the armed services and for laws 10 secure the right 10 equal oppor- tunity of employment"
 It was a double blow to the Southerners and left many of thedf fighting mad. There was fresh talk of refusing to support the conYen- tions nominees.
 Alabama delegation sought re- cognition to announce a walkout but Convention Chairman San Rayburn ignored them and ordered a recess.
 Vote On Platform
 Here is what happened.
 First, the Southerners were beat en 925 to 3O9 when they tried to get into the platform a stand for states rights that would ease the impact of it's declaration for civil rights" The vote on that is sue included: Alaska, 6 votes; 3 yes no.
 Then the convention broadened the civil rights plank written by the platform committee. IL added "eommendatiOn" offered zy Mayor Hubert H. Humphrey of Mime apolis - for President Truman's stand and a call for Congress To enact the laws he asked. The roll call showed a 69-yote majority.
 V0ice-VOte
 That cleared the way for voice vote adoption of the platform as a whole and a move on to the busi- ness of nominating President Tru man and naming Senator Alben w Barkley as his running mate.
 But the delegates were weary and hot. So convention leaders or- dered a recess until 3:30 p. n. That was to be the windup session.
 There was an air of tension de spite intermittent speeches during the voting on the platform.
 Angry Debate
 IL came aIIur an angry d b. } during which Dan Nod. n ] and Cecil Sim of Tennessee told the convention they Wou.d toJ o... . if defeated. But Sims sad d ,e [ on the issue would mean the dis solution of the Democratic party in the South"
 Preliminary to the platform ar gument the convention heard an other round of speeches praising the Democratic record and lam basting that of the Republicans.
 There were cheers when James Roosevelt and A F. Whitney, rail road leader, shouted demands for repeal of the Ttaft-Hartley LabOs Law. Its repeal is one plank in the platform draft.

MAYBE THEY'LL sECEDE

blhMl4S6hAmY Ala. Angry southern Democrats are going a. head with their plans to put ticket of their own in the NOvem- Der elections. They are counting on a solid southern bloc of 127 cleo torial votes behind a Dixie candi- date for President. Such a move might throw the election into the House of Representatives by keep ing both Truman and Dewey from getting a majority.
 A conference of 'states rights" Democrats, some of whom walked out at the Philadelphia convention. is meeting tomorrow to name Dix ie candidates for President and Vice President.
