AdIai (. Stevenson May
DispeI WaIkout Threat

CONVENTION HALL, Chicago
Up Strife-plagued Democrats
turned today toward Bible-quoting
Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson of Illi-
nois for the nomination magic
which might dispel the lowering
threat of Dixie walkout.
In Stevenson, friends professed
to find a possible presidential nom-
inee who could draw the sting of a
wound-opening defeat for poten-
tial Southern boilers in the con-
vention's shouted adoption during
the weary early morning hours of
a loyalty" rule.
Ambiguous in language and SUBJ
ject to almost any kind of inter-
probation, the rule said in effect
that delegates must give assur-
ance they will exert every honor
able means" to see that the con-
vention's presidential and vice
presidential nominees get on their
states ballot.
1t was showed down the throats
of protesting Dixie delegations by
Sen. Blair Moody of Michigan,
newspaperman turned politician.
Moody may be eyeing the vice
presidential nomination.
The rule was gaveied into exist
ence by Gov. Paul Dever of Mas
sachusetts, the temporary chair
man, after piercing complaints by
Southern leaders that it would put
them in the position of violating
their state laws or party organi-
zation instructions.
Five states with 10 votes toward
the 615k needed for the presiden-
tial nomination would be affected
directly. They are Virginia, South
Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi and
Louisiana.
All of these five have laid out
machinery with which they could
bolt the national ticket If they
don't like the nominee or the plat
form.
Texas, with So votes, seemed
likely to 60 along with the Moody
rule. Gov. Allan Shivers said il
doesn't conflict with state laws
there, which he said require that
the people get a chance to vote on
the national party's nominees.
But the five other delegations
called strategy caucuses. There
were indications they might decide
individually or collectively to defy
the rules requirement that the
chairmen of the delegations certify
the loyalty assurance.
No one seemed to know what the
next move might be if that occur
ed.
The Moody rules adoption fore.
cast the later approval by the con.
vention of a cYil rights plank SC
strong in its terms that the South
erners would have another reason
to stride angrily out of this almost.
