South Africans Leave
Jai|s Against Will
BY The Associuted Press

JOHANNESBURG. South Africa
July 25.-South Africa'S police
have found a new weapon to fight
the campaign by non-E Europeans
to crowd the Unions jails in de-
f1ance Of Prime Minister Daniel
F. Malan's white supremacy laws
The police are turning out the
ipriosners against their will.
The police move is the govern
ment's answer to protest demon
lStrationS by the African and
Indian National Congresses here
Congress leaders had asked their
colored members to defy South
Africa's race laws in great num-
bers. thus filling the nations jails
to overf1owing.
But now money found on the
demonstrators is being seized by
the police and used to pay fines,
even though the prisoners protest
that they want to stay in jail as
"a matter of principle. With the
fines paid, the protesters are
forced to freedom.
To meet the police tactic, an
African leader said, TN the fu-
ture we'll see that volunteers come
with empty pockets to the jails. "

Russell Sees Position
Unchanged Despite
Latest Maneuvers

CHICAGO, July Ex-senator
Russell of Georgia said early today
that "all of the activities and
scheming of the last "a hours have
not affected my support" for the
Democratic presidential nomina-
ton.
Senator Russell said early today
that "all of the activities and
scheming Of the last "a hours have
not affected my support"
The Georgian made his brief
statement without further ex-
planation shortly before he retired
following a day spent before a
television set in his hotel suite.
In the face of mounting support
for Gov. Stevenson of Illinois for
the nomination, Senator Russell
said:
"PreliminarieS now are out of
the way and the decks are cleared
for the nomination. All of the
activities and scheming of the last
"a hours have not affected my
support.
Il still think that am in the
most favorable position of any
candidate"
With that. Senator Russell went
to bed.
Follows Activity on TV.
Friends said he had done a good
deal of armchair quarterbacking
as he watched telecasts of last
nights hectic convention session.
Senator RusSell's position was
Strengthened when the conven-
ton seated Louisiana, South Caro-
lima and Virginia. All three dele
cations are for the Georgian.
In most quarters, Senator Rus
sell was ruled out of the presi-I
dential-nominating race. And
with the Stevenson wave headed
ShoreWard when the convention
resumes today. there was mount
ing interest in obtaining Senator
Russell as a running mate for Gov.
Stevenson.
The Senator has said he does
not want the vice presidency, but
some of his advisers want him to
take the second-spot nomination
Midwest Support Cited.
This backing came not only
from the South, but also from
the farm regions of the Midwest.
The latest Associated Press dele
gate tabulation records 207 votes
for Senator Russell, in third place
behind Senator Kefauver's 27212
and Gov. Stevenson's 215.
Senator Russell's name was
placed in nomination for Presi-
dent yesterday by Senator George
of Georgia. It was the second
Russell bid for the presidency. He
was given 263 votes in the 1948
convention before it went on to
name President Truman.

a motion to adjourn could be
tabled. He found he was wrong.
BY a vote of 671 to 534. after a
long and painful ordeal, the mo-
tion to adjourn was tabled. Again
and again efforts were made by
the coalitionists to force an ad-
journment. But Chairman Ray
burn and Representative John
Mccormack of Massachusetts.
Democratic floor leader of the
House, who was filling in tempo
rarily for Mr.. Rayburn, turned
the motions aside.
After all this confusion and
shortly before am. (Chicago
time) the convention finally ad-
journed on motion of Mr.. McCor-
mack.
Rarely has a Democratic con-
vention gotten so nearly out of
hand as at last nights session
Delegates booed and cheered
They prevented speakers from
being heard at all on several occa-
sionS. Speaker Rayburn was in
terrupted often by delegates who
beloved questions or points OF
order. Even before the chairman
could announce the result of a
vote. he was shaken by motion
to adjourn.
Finally AdjOurns.
Adjournment was not taken
until after several test votes, first
on a motion to seat the Virginia
delegation, and again on a motion
to deny adjournment. and. finally
on a motion to seat the delegates
from South Carolina and Louis
lana. In each case, the coali-
tionists were outnumbered.
Former Senator Myers of Penn
sylvania. floor manager for the
Stevenson forces, said. after ad-
journment. that he had been will.
ing TO have an adjournment be-
cause of the late hour and the
overcrowded aisles in the conven-
ton hail.. and because it was evil
dent that the coalitionists did not
control the convention.
The liberal forces. backing Sen
ator Kefauver and Mr.. Hartman
took a licking also on the seating
of the delegates from the three
recalcitrant States. With much
effort. they had put through the
socalled Moody loyalty pledge
amendment of the rules govern
ing the convention.
The action of the convention
last night, however, completely
reversed the attitude of the con-
vention. All three of the Gov

loyalty pledge, and would not dc

ing defeat on election day. He is
an unknown outside of Illinois. F"
The Stevenson leaders, made
confident by their victory over the
Kefauver- Hartman coalition last
night in the vote to seat the Vir-
ginia, South Carolina and Louisi-
ana delegates, were claiming vic
tory for their candidate on an
early ballot.
They said that it should come
not later than a third ballot and
perhaps On a first or second bal
lot. Meanwhile, the Kefauver-
Hartman coalition maneuvered
desperately to stop Gov. Steven
son. They hoped that the South
would continue to vote for Sena-
tor Russell of Georgia and that
the introduction of Vice President
IBarkley into the race would help
still further to tie up the conven-
tion.
Convention Starts Late.
The weary delegates. after their
gruelling IA continuous hours OF
session. were slow reaching the
hall. They were more than an
hour late.
Almost Immediately after Chair
man Rayburn called the conven-
ton to order, he announced that
the first ballot would be taken fol
the presidential nominee.
Running Mate Discussed.
Many suggestions have beer
made for a vice presidential can

PROMINENT among those mentioned
are Senator Sparkman of Ala.

Chapman of Colorado.
There has been talk for a Ions
time of a Stevenson-R Russell ticket
This was proposed particularly a.
an appeal to the South. The actor
of the convention last night ir
seating all the delegates from
Virginia, South Carolina ano
Louisiana seemed to lessen the
need for such a move.
Furthermore, Senator Russell
headed the opposition to civi

given to placing Senator Kefauvel
on the ticket as the running mate
for Gov. Stevenson. It would be 6
friendly gesture toward the forces
which are backing the Tennessear
and a recognition Of his un-
doubted strength as a vote-getter
A Kefauver nomination, how
