nounced that Puerto Rico cast
three mo" votes on the motion
to seat the pro-Eisenhower Geor-
|gia group.

Republican Platform
Due 10 Call for End
OF D. {. Segregation
Plank on Civil Rights
Vague on Compulsory
Or Voluntary FEPc
pv : s,off coye.porden, ef The stor

CHICAGO, July -lO.-T'he Re-
publican National Convention is
expected to adopt today plat
form which calls for ending seq
|regation in Washington.
The civil rights plank approved
|by the platform committee late
yesterday is vague. however. on
1.-THE controversial issue Of whether
Ia Federal fair employment prac-
tice law should be compulsory OF
voluntary.
Lester S. Parsons Of Norfolk
Va, opponent Of a compulsory
FEPC, reserved the right to take
la minority report to the floor OF
the convention, but was undecided
about going through with it.
IF find 1t would be useless,
don't see any point in doing q USE
less thing" said MIR. Parsons.
Left Up to Candidate.
Mrs. Mildred Younger of Cali
fornia, leader Of the group which
wanted stronger statement on
"a Federal fair employment law,
was reported to be satisfied with
the compromise. The compromise
was worked out by q small draft
ing subcommittee, headed by
Senator Millikin of Colorado.
The compromise is broad
enough to let the party's presi-
dental candidate decide what
type Of FEPC to advocate.
Mr.. Parsons said the Platform
committee, at one point yester-
day. ruled out mandatory FEPC
by a teller vote. He said the COM
mittee later refused to state that
it should not be compulsory.
Most Trouble on Plank.
The civil rights plank gave the
platform builders more trouble
than any other question. Various
proposals were debated in the
final closed session Of the full
platform committee.
One motion. which failed. was
that the party reaffirm its 194a
plank which favored the enact
|ment "of such Federal legislation
as may be necessary" to main
tain at all times the right Of every
individual to equal job opportuni-
ties.
The compromise finally agreed
upon is more than $50 words long
It begins by condemning bigotry
racial and religious prejudice. II
|criticizeS the Democrats for fail
ing to carry out their promises
Recognizes State Viewpoint.
The plank recognizes the States
rights viewpoint by declaring that
1T Is the primary responsibility
|of each state to control its own
domestic institutions, but adds
that the Federal Government
should take supplemental action
within its constitutional" juris-
diction to oppose discrimination.
Following these general state
ments. the plank says the Re-
publicans win prove good faith
by:
Appointing qualified persons,
without distinction Of race, re-
|ligion or national origin, to re-
|sponsible positions in the Gov
|ernment.
Federal action toward the elm
ination of lynching.
Federal action toward the elm
|ination Of poll taxes as a prereq-
|uisite to voting.
Appropriate action to end seq
regation In the District Of Colum-
bia.
Enacting Federal legislation to
further just and equitable treat
ment IN the area Of discriminatory
employment practices. Federal
action should not duplicate State
efforts to end such practices:
should not set up another huge
bureaucracy"

Talk Of Coalition.
Realizing that Gen. Eisenhower

ward rush, some of the Taft lead

coalition at least with Gov. Earl
Warren Of California to block an
early Eisenhower nomination.
Talk included also plans to put
Gen. Douglas Macarthur into the
picture. However. that maneuver
would be extremely difficult. Many

Gen. Macarthur of as a possible

speech.

It looks like Gen. Eisenhower
