other presidential candidate in
1852 who supports the Truman
civil rights program.
The Credentials Committee. in
recommending the custer OF the
anti Truman Democrats from the
committee, cited Rule IL Of the
Democratic National Committee
which instructs the committee to
remove any member who actively
OPPOSES the candidate of the
party.
The national committee took
no action on retaining on its rolls
Clarence E. Hood, jr., and Mrs.
John Clark of Mississippi, who
have been recognized for some
months as the committee mem
bers from that State. This leaves
it up to the Democrats of Missis-
sippi to select members to fill the
vacancies.
Two Others Retained.
The committee, in accordance
with the recommendations of the
Credentials Committee retained
Mrs. Mary Evelyn Dickerson OF
Louisiana, who did not oppose Mr.
Truman, and Mrs. Lennard
Thomas of Alabama for the same
reason.
The weary Credentials Commit
tee stayed up until 3 am. for
hearings on cases in the four
States.
Later today the committee
will hold reception which Mr..
Truman is expected to attend.
Flat threats to fight the Ma
tional Democratic Party again in
1852, if they are ousted from the
National Committee and if the
party persists in it's support of the
Truman civil rights program, were
made by several States Fighters
in advance of today's meeting.
Outspoken along this line were
Mr.. Rushton and MI. Talbot.
Mr.. Rushton was armed with a
resolution adopted by his State
committee, declaring that the
Democrats of Alabama are pre-
pared to carry the fight against
the civil rights program into
the 1852 presidential campaign
and to deny to any presi-
Dental nominee the electoral votes
of the State. just as they denied
them to President Truman, II
the candidate supports the civil
rights program.

Mr.. McGrath that he had left the
Democratic Party when he sup
ported Gov. Thurmond.
