Sporkmon Predicts Unity
On Civil Rights Plank

uled for Sunday. BY that time
they may have a better idea OF
what the platform drafting SUBJ
committee has in mind.
Hodges May Reconsider
North Cardinals Gov. Luther
H. Hodges pinpointed the un-
certainty with statement III
Raleigh last night that he may
reconsider his support for Mr..
Stevenson.
Gov. Hodges has been one of
the bulwarks of the Stevenson
strength in the South.
On the other hand, Mr.. Ste
venson's camp got new hope of
support from an important and
thus far uncommitted Northern
source.
Gov. G. Mennen Williams, who
controls Michigan's A nomi-
mating votes as the States ia
vorite son, said Mr.. Stevepson's
statement for "unequivocal in
dorSement" of the courts school
ruling lis very encouraging"
Gov. Williams, a critic of the
moderation" course with which
Mr.. Stevenson previously was
tagged said in Ionia, Mich, the
statement was "a growing indi-
cation of the kind of platform
I am convinced the party must
adopt if it is to win at the
polls"
Oklahoma Switch
One Hartman supportcr-OE-
lahoma'S Gov. Raymond Gary
provided something of a switch
so far as the Hartman camp is
concerned.
Gov. Gary said at Oklahoma
City he was hurrying to Chicago
today to urge a moderate civil
rights plank. Gov. Gary, chair
man of an 11-State Hartmann
for-President organization in the
West, said he had hoped Gov.
Hartman would take a weaker
stand" on civil rights than he
has been espousing.
Platform hearings are sched-
uled to continue through Satur-
day, with former President
Harry S. Truman the headline
witness late today. Mr.. Truman
is expected to talk mainly on
what the Democratic foreign
policy plank should contain. But
it is entirely possible some plat
form member may ask him what
he thinks the civil rights plank
should say.
In comparing the civil rights
debate of today with the prohibi-
ton controversy of 1928, there
is one decided difference, name
ly. that the Northern and South
ern factions find themselves ex-

cratic Convention at noon Mon
day. Yesterday afternoon, DEM
ocratic National Chairman Paul
M. Butler went out to take a
look and check on progress.
Il think it's in wonderful
shape" he said after an inspec.
ton tour of the Amphitheater
Mr.. Butler, whose job it is to
be optimistic about all things
concerning the Democrats, also
said he thought the convention
would run smoothly and that
there would be no walkout of
aggrieved Southerners.
The progress at the Amphi-
theater yesterday appeared to be
approximately that of a home
building job on the completion
date promised by the contractor.
In other words. there is a lot of
work yet to be done. 1t seems
certain, however, that somehow
or other the carpentry will be
completed in time for what Mr..
Butler called "a rehearsal of
some of the features on Sun
day."
Seats and Wires Going In
Seats for 953 accredited press
representatives already are in
place. and part of the telephone
lines which will connect these
reporters with their home Offices
have been installed.
Radio and television techni-
clans have established cameras
and other gear on tall platforms
overlooking the speakers ros-
trum.
So far, in Chicago, all is pro-
logue. The tempo will pick up
rapidly from now on, with the
arrival of former President
Harry truman and other no.
tables.

week, where advocates of 8
stronger civil rights plank coulc
offer a minority report on the
civil rights issue, as was done
in 1948.
If such a move should de-
velop, it would be part of a STOP
Stevenson movement, and some
of the Southerners on the Plat
form Committee are saying il
would then be up to the Steven
son supporters to stand by the
committee report if they hope tc

nominating Gov. Hartman Of
New York.
Heat SubSiding
Some of the heat generated
among the Southerners on Tues.
day by Mr.. Stevenson'S televisior
interview, in which he called fol-
unequivocal approval of the Su-
preme Court school decision, ap-
peared to be subSiding.
The Southerners said they
were satisfied with the makeup
of the 16-man subcommittee
named yesterday to do the &C.
tual platform drafting, and
they renewed earlier expressions
of hope that an acceptable civil
rights plan would be worked
out. The subcommittee is bal
anced between Northern and
Southern members, and includes
the Southern leaders who have
been trying to present a united
party front this year.
They still feel Mr.. Stevenson
went further in his Tuesday
telecast than they thought he
had gone in the past. But their
general attitude was one of let's
wait and see what the platform
finally contains.
The Southern leaders who are
here now are only the vanguard
of delegations that will not ar
rive until Saturday or Sunday,
and they were waiting also to
see what their associates say
and do in State caucuses, sched-

COULD SCdnQ Jne excitement OF
a political convention.
Chicago, by contrast, is taking
the build-up to next weeks big
show quite calmly, thank you.
While the eyes of the Nation
were on the platform committee
meeting at the Sheraton Black
stone Hotel yesterday. the eyes
of Chicago were on the depart

TV and radio stars and a host of
professional clowns were cele-
brating a commercial festival
known as state Street Days"
Few Convention Clues Seen
Except for the pre-convention
goings-on at the Blackstone and
the larger Conrad Hilton Hotel
across the street, a visitor to
Chicago would hardly know that
big things were cooking in the
national political crucible.
A tour of the loop" district
yesterday revealed only a few
unobtrusive welcome conven-
tioneers" signs-mostly in liquor
store windowS--aS clues that the
Democrats were coming to town.
The explanation, after a mo-
ment's reflection, is simpl e
enough. Chicago, in Carl Sand
burg's words, is ''brawny, husky,
brawling-the city with the big
shoulders.
AS such, it has too many other
things to think about to con-
Germ itself overmuch with a
political convention. To quote
Sand burg again, it is hog
butcher to the world, toolmaker.

Besides which, Chicago likes
to live and let live. If people
want to come to town, make
speeches, fight about civil rights
and nominate presidential can
didates, it is all right with Chi
cago. This week the conven-
tioneers are fishing tackle manu-
facturers. Next week it will be
Democrats. The week after it
will be jewelers..

man Grover Walker dissenting,
the council also voted final re-
lection to a plea for apartment
coming for an 11la-acre tract at
Viers Mill road and Connecticut
avenue extended, adjacent to the
Holiday Park subdivision. This
was the petition which the
council had first issued instruc-
tons two weeks ago to approve,
and then reversed itself last week
after an inspection of the site.
The Council noted that the sur
rounding area is primarily zoned
for single-family detac h e d
homes, and that apartment zen-
ing would only lead to further
congestion at that intersection
after a new highway exchange
is constructed there.
/ One other petition was denied
1t was the application on behalf
of Clifton c. McMillen for re-
coming from R-40 to Rio Of
property at 8106 Flower avenue,
Takoma Park.
Two applications were ap-
proved. One was for rezoning
from R-60 to CO Commercial
Office use of one lot on Old
Bladensburg road between Piney
Branch road and Langley drive,
Pickwick Village subdivision, and
the other for rezoning from rural
agricultural to rural residential

What Is Effect on Row Crops
OF Soil Packing by Tractors?

marked on the side next to the wheel
row with a colored pencil.
After the soil had been washed away
from the roots, the beets were carefully
studied and photographed to determine
if any significant differences in the
root development existed. So far as
could be observed, there were no diff
ferences in the root development on
the two opposite sides of the beet, either
in the total number of rootlets or their
length. The fine roots of the beet occur
in two grooves or bands. The band of
roots curves part way around the beet.
In some cases these bands of roots are
on the sides of the beet next to the
burrows. In other cases they are at
opposite sides longitudinally in the
rows. Their position appears to result
from the accidental way the seed comes
to rest when dropped from the drill.
The conclusions reached from this
short study are: ID That considerable
compaction OCCURS in the rows Travelled
by the tractor This compaction is ap-
parent from the driven bar test, both
before and after irrigation. (2l That
the compaction causes a marked re-
duction in the rate of infiltration of
irrigation water and also in the total
amount of water stored in the soil from
one irrigation. Whether or not this af-
fects the yield of the sugar beets ad-
versely is not known.
Reduce COmpactiOn
1t is believed that the amount of
compaction can be reduced by under in
flation of the tractor tires. The amount
of infiltration of water could, no doubt,
be increased by widening the wheel row
so a wide shallow furrow could be
made. This would increase the area
covered with water and also the amount
of water entering the soil.
If wider equipment were designed,
such as six or eight rows, the relative
number of wheel rows in proportion to
the total would be greatly reduced. Fur
ther studies are needed to determine to
what extent compaction interferes with
the growth and yield of sugar beets

is never up knee-high before the last

full of weeds, it's here that ev'ry
