CHICAGO. July 25.-Adminis-
tration leaders and conservative
Democrats put on a mastery flli-
buster last night to prevent an
adverse vote on the Sasscer mo-
ton to seat the Virginia delega-
ton.
Senator Anderson of New Mex
leo was among the prominent
leaders who were sent throughout
the hall to persuade delegates to
change their votes. They worked
effectively.
Chairman Rayburn used all the
possible maneuvers to delay an an
|nouncement of the vote on the
motion of Representative Sasscer
of Maryland, which would have
been lost If the vote had stood as
lit was first compiled. He almost
pleaded with the delegation to
change their vote. Acting ap-
lparently under his instructions,
the reading clerk Of the conven-
tion deliberately waited between
the calls for State delegation votes
It took virtually two hours to con-
clude this vote and every minute
of it was used by the Administra-
tion forces to prevent the defeat
/ of the resolution. which would
have meant the ousting Of Vir-
ginia's delegation, and caused ire
mendous resentment throughout
the South.

The big break in favor of the
Sasscer resolution came when H.

ly its vote had been cast As
against the Sasscer motion and

was an indication that the forces

nois vote, State after State dele

there finally were enough to carry

With thousands of television

Close by. Peter J., Cloherty of

alton and jumped to one Of the

CHICAGO, July 25.-Virginis
delegates, flush with victory ir
winning full recognition at the
Democratic Convention. indicated
today they would cast their 2s
votes for Gov. Stevenson after the
first ballot.
At caucus just before the ses-
sion began they voted, as ex-
pected, to cast their vote on the
first ballot for Senator Russell OF
Georgia.
So intent were the Virginians
on praising Gsv. Battle for his
leadership in getting Virginia
South Carolina and Louisiana
seats on the floor that the COVER
nor himself had to call halt anC
remind them that they were gath
cred to decide on the presidential
nominee.
The caucus lasted until 10 min
utes before the convention was
scheduled to open and Gov. Battle
brought it to a close with the re-
mark, I'VE don't want to miss the
voting we worked so hard to at
tain"

in an uptown hotel and scrambled

Inns, and former State chairman,
FG. Alvin Massenburg credited
Stevenson hackers in part for Vir-
ginia's rescue last night in the
fight to be seated.
There's more to it than that, -
Mr.. Tuck said. THE vote last
night represented a square-off be-
tween the conservative forces in
the party and the liberal forces.
Stevenson chose the conservative
side. We can't let him down."
There has been a marked lack
of enthusiasm for Senator Rus
sell since last weeks State con-
vention in Roanoke, where word
was received of his position with
regard to the Taft-Hartley La
Dor Act.
The State gathering was pre-
pared to commit it's votes to Sem

this made Senator Byrd angry
and the State convention ad-
journed without making any for
NAL endorsement.
Today marked the first time
Senator Byrd would mention, ever
indirectly, giving Virginia's sup
port to any one other than Sen
ator Russell. He agreed with q
reporters question that a Steven
son-Russell ticket might be &
good one"
When the day began yesterday
the Virginians thought they woulc
never get the opportunity to cast
their 28 votes here for a presi.
Dental candidate. But by mid.
uight they had won by a 648h'

It was q greater victory for

But 6481a to 512 was the final
official count.)
Several hours later, at 1870 am.
(Chicago time) the other two
delegations were approved at the
suggestion of Gov. Battle, who
arose to thank the convention for
recognizing his State.
Oral Assurances Given.
Leaders Of all three States as
sured the convention orally that
the nominees of the National
Democratic Party will be placed
on the ballots in their States this
fall. They explained again, how
ever. that they could not take any
pledges as to what they will do,
because they must report back to
their State governing bodies the
decisions made by the national
convention.
Early this morning several del
egates were questioning Gov.
James F. Byrnes Of South Caro-
lima trying to get him to say that
he would take the initiative in
seeing that the Democratic ticket
gets on the South Carolina ballot.
He gave assurance that the law
guarantees the ticket will get on
the ballot, but he said it was up
to the national party to take the
necessary steps.
While he was being questioned
newspapers on the floor a few
rows back Of him caught fire. The
blaze was quickly put out.
Gov. Byrnes relieved the ter
sion created by the loyalty pledge
debate by assuring the convention
he did not set the place on fire.
Long Supports Pledge.
Early last night Senator Rus
sell Long of Louisiana parted COM
pany with most of his delegation
by supporting the loyalty pledge.
Early this morning he helped
bring about complete agreement,
by announcing that all of his asso-
ciates Joined in giving the same
assurance that the Democratic
ticket will appear on the Louisiana
ballot.
While reporters had been writ
ing for days about a possible walk
out OF SouthernerS, the first group
actually to walk off the floor was
a part of the South Dakota dele
cation.
At the height of the excitement
over the seating of Virginia, a
South Dakota delegate grabbed a
microphone and shouted:
South Dakota is leaving the
floor in protest against the grossly
unfair rulings of the chair"
The South Dakota banner was
seen to disappear through a rear
door of the hall, but about five
minutes later it was brought back
by different delegate from the
one who took it out.
Rayburn Upset BY Protest.
House Speaker Rayburn, the
permanent chairman, obviously
