level, as favored by Northern lib
erals, it also recognizes State and
municipal responsibility. as IA
vcred by the South.
Some Northern liberals, it was
reliably learned today, still are
not satisfied with the way the
drafting subcommittee dealt in
broad general terms with Senate
IfilibuStering.
This may provoke floor debate
when the platform is taken up
in the convention tonight, unless
the full Resolutions Committee
strengthens it before making its
report.
1t is understood the civil rights
plank agreed to by the drafting
subcommittee follows an outline
brought here from Washington by
Phillip B. Perlman, Solicitor Cen
eral.
Draft Is Completed.
The drafting group finished
its work at $50 Chicago time)
this morning after working
through the night. The full COM
mittee met at $50. but Chairman
Mccormack moved a recess until
2 pm. to enable members to rest
Members of the full committee

draft of the platform at the $50
meeting. provided they signed fol
their copy, so that all copies could
be collected again. This step was
taken to prevent a leak before the
afternoon meeting. Some men,
bers said they wouldn't look at the
document pending the afternoon
session.
The plank is said to call fol
action at all three levels to guar
antee equality of opportunity fol
employment, for voting and fol
personal security. 1t also indorses
equality of opportunity in the
armed forces.
Ask Taft Act Repeal.
The Democratic platform also
will make a strong bid for the
labor vote by calling for the re-
peal of the Taft-Hartley Act.
The way has been paved to
make that law one of the major
issues of the 1852 election, be-
cause the Republican platform
favors retention of Taft-Hartley
with such amendments as time
and experience show to be desir-
able.
The platform also is understood
to contain a reference to the need
for changes in congressional pro-
cedureS to reduce the power of
minorities to block action by the
majority.
Seek Change in Rules.
The advocates of a strong civil
rights plank demanded a con-
demnation of Senate rules which
permit filibustering. They argued
that no civil rights program can
be brought to a vote until the
Senate rules are revised. There
| is possibility. however, the ref
erence to congressional rules may
be placed outside of the civil
rights plank. SO that it could be
construed as applying to delay in
major legislation on any subject.
Leaders hope to avoid a floor
fight over civil rights, but whether
they have succeeded or not will
be known only when the platform
reaches the convention.
The 19-member drafting sub
committee last night made public
a tentative draft of the foreign
policy section, which was gen.
eral Endorsement of the steps this
country has taken to head of an
other world war by working with
the other anti-C Communist areas
of the world.

Credentials Report Ready,
Two Seating Contests Likely
Bottle Over Virgnio's Stand on Pledge
Also Expected to Result at Convention

which had not submitted loyalty
pledge statements when the COM
mittee adjourned hearings short
ly before l am. this morning.
The committee counted several
major moves during session from
10 am. (Chicago time) yesterday
until almost l am. today.
Regular Delegations Win.
First, by respective votes of 36
to 13 and 33 to II, the committee
decided to recommend to the con-
vention by noon today that So
called regular" State organiza-
ton delegations from Texas and
Mississippi be seated.
This upheld recommendations
last week by the Democratic Ma
tional Committee. But it could
not have brought happiness to
the official Truman household.
The winning delegations consisted
either of "Dixiecrats and Dixie
cops" or of other factions often
openly hostile to Truman policies
and measures.
The second main step scheduled
for notation in the committees
report was to receive written
statements signifying that a vast
majority of State delegations
would abide by the loyalty pledge
rule.
The Virginia member Of the
Credentials Committee, o. Alvin
Massenberg, was nowhere in
sight when the clerk called the
roll of delegations to tell whether
they would take the pledge. Earl
ier in the day Mr.. Massenberg
gave the committee to understand
that he disliked the idea. A few
other delegations promised to have
their statements in before noon
today.
Speaking for South Carolina,
Senator Maybank explained that
neither he nor the delegation
chairman had authority at that
time to do anything about the
proposed pledge. Committee
Chairman Calvin Rawlings of
Utah later expressed uncertainty
but no great worry about South
Cardinals intentions.
There also was some vagueness
as to what the committee might
do if any delegation bucked against
the whole business. AS interpreted
by Chairman Rawlings, the loyalty
assurance rule adopted early
yesterday morning by the conven-
tion would leave the committee no
choice but to recommend against
seating any unco-operative dele
cation.
The third big point in the COM
mittee's forthcoming report to the
convention was tied in closely with
the loyalty proposition. 1t de-
veloped from a surprise visit by
Senators Moody of Michigan and
Hill of Alabama and Representa-
tive Franklin D. Roosevelt, jr., late
last night.
After almost an hour Of discus
sion, the committee agreed to ac-
cept a compromise modification.
The revision had been worked out
by the three men in earlier con-
sultation with National Chairman
Frank Mckinney and others stren-
uously trying to gain some har-
mony.
The new version obviously
hastened acceptances by several
delegations. Until the three visi-
tors dropped in, committee men,
bers had resigned themselves to
the prospect of staying in session

Harmony Moves Progressing.
While the sparring was going
on over presidential candidates,
the effort to bring about harmony
in the Democratic convention ap-
peared to be making progress.
The concession offered the aroused
Southern delegates in connection
with the so-called loyalty pledge
seemed to be bearing fruit. How
ever. there were threats of fight
on the convention floor itself when
the report of the Credentials
Committee is made later today.
A Credentials Committee report
revealed that Virginia, four other
States and two territories had
failed to sign the pledge. Other
States not signing by the time
the session was called to order
were Illinois. Louisiana, Rhode Is
land and South Carolina. Terri
tories missing from the rolls were
Canal Zone and Virgin Islands.

Bloodmobile To Revisit
Oak Harbor, June "a

Don Foreman, Oak Harbor re-
preventative of the Ottawa Coun-
ty Red Cross Blood Control Com
mittee, has announced that the
second visit of the Bloodmobile
to this community will be Tues
day, June oath, in the st. Paul's
Evangelical and Reformed Church.
The scheduling of donors is un-
der way and schedule cards will
be mailed out shortly. Even so,
more donors are needed in the
community and any who have not
signed donor cards are asked to
get in touch with Mr.. Foreman,
Mrs. Clifton Seeley, Mrs. Harvard
Held or Mr.. Corwin Hablitzel this
week.
On the first visit of the unit to
Oak Harbor III pints of blood
were given by Oak Harborites.
Those who gave then are eligible
to give again, the Red Cross policy
being to limit person to five
donations per year. This will be
the last visit of the unit to the
community in 1852, the next one
being early in 1858, so give now
and save a life.
During the past year $50 of the
blood collected in Ottawa County
has gone directly to military uses.
and 455 has been retained for
use with civilians and in the five
veterans and military hospitals
in the area. Ii has been conserva-
lively estimated that the blood pro-
gram in Ottawa County has saved
not only many lives, but $25, 900
which would have been spent on
blood in blood-banks, or from pri-
vate individuals In times of sick
ness our expenses are abnormally
high at best, and this saving means
much to the whole community.
Don Foreman will serve as Cor
ordinator for the Oak Harbor visit,
Mrs. Clifton Seeley will serve as
chairman of Service Groups, and
Mrs. Howard Held is working on
recruitment. The Ottawa County
Medical Society of which DR.. Min
ich is President, cooperates with
the Red Cross in this community
project.
Donors who were rejected at the
last collection will be scheduled
again, it being the policy of Red
Cross to schedule donors at least
three times before placing them
on any permanent reject list.

Communism On State Level Hit By Rep Robert Reider

A new Vacationland attraction
will open this Saturday at Cataw-

completely altered Cliff House
swings open its doors to the pub

the Beach Club are baked under
the personal supervision of Mrs.
