Statistically-m press
agents have turned out reams
of copy about the thousands of
miles of wire. the many hun
dreds of telephones and other
such technical matters. The
best way to sum up this infor-
nation is to say the amphithe-

munication facilities adequate

The question is often asked:
Is the amphitheater air condi-
toned? The answer is yes and
no. 1t has air-conditioning ma
chlnery which puts out cool air
equivalent to Q million pounds
OF ice a day. Supposedly it will
lower the temperature of the hall
by 10 degrees. but there is seri-
Gus question whether even this
will be equal to the job of cool
ing off 1900 exciting human

One man will be comfortable,
however. He will be the man
who occupies the rostrum. The

gadget-laden stand is a small

form Committee, an AFL-CIC
official told this reporter, land
you will have that part of the
platform to be adopted next
week in which we are most in
terested-most Of it word for
word"
The reference was to a pres
entation made by George M.
Harrison. AFL-CIO vice presi-
dent and chairman Of the Ad-
visory Committee on Labor of
the Democratic National Com
mittee.
Although the word at labor
headquarters in Washington was
that the AFL-CIO as such was
taking no part in the big Dem
Dcratic conclave. Mr.. Harrison
was only one of seven vice presi-
dents counted at convention
headquarters. and still others
were reported to be here.
Delegates Union Members
In addition to this, more than
$50 delegates and some so alter
nate delegates to the convention
are members of the AFL-CIO.
And a high percentage of persons
fitting in and out OF the suites
of former President Truman,
Adali Stevenson and Gov. Ave-
rell Hartman are well known
union officials.
Apparently about the only pro-
poSal made by Mr.. Harrison to
the Platform Committee that
was in Jeopardy was one calling
for Federal implementation Of
the Supreme Court decision ban
ming school segregation. And
there was still a good chance
that one would carry.
Mr.. Harrison, who has 10 other
AFL-CIO vice presidents listed
on his 18-man committee. called
for outright repeal of the Taft
Hartley act and enactment OF
the old. pro-labor Wagner Act.

other visitors and by the lucky

.0f Dixie Revolt
.On Civil Rights
BY ALEX r. PRESTON

STAR CONVENTION Blu.
REAU, CHICAGO, Aug. H.
Former Gov. John S. Battle, one
of Vrginia's members of The
Platform Committee. said today
that an unacceptable civil rights
plank may force Southern States
to run independent" Demo
cratic presidential electors II
November.
I'VE didn't come up here t
walk out" he said, but we're
trying to face the facts of life
The Southern and border States
are perfectly solid in resisting
the Supreme Court Endorsement.
His reference was to the "un.
equivocal approval" of the SUI
preme Courts school segregation
decision suggested by Ada,
Stevenson as civil rights plank
in the party platform.
Mr.. Battle said he does not
anticipate a third party move
ment in the South, such as the
States Rights ticket headed by
Senator elect j. Strom Thur
mond of South Carolina, in 1913
| Mr.. Battle made his comments
on the eve of the scheduled ar
rival tomorrow of the bulk OF
IVirginia's 108 delegates and al
Iternates, led by Gov. Thomas B
Stanley. Only a handful of the
delegates were on hand today
In Chicago Since Monday
Both Mr.. Battle and Mrs
John Garland Pollard of Rich
mond, widow of former Cover
nor, have been here since Mon
day as members Of the platform
committee.
So far the Southerners on the
committee have taken in bitter
silence the testimony Of liberal
Northern blocs, Negro leaders
and supporters of New York
Gov Averell Hartman who are
urging the strongest possible
civil rights pronouncement to be
incorporated in the party plat
form.
If the convention yields to the
stronger statement, Mr.. Battle
believes. Southern States will moi
bolt the party but will continue
to operate under individual Dem
ocratic parties. For example, in
Virginia it is possible to have a
slate of electors run under the
label Of THE National Demo
cratic Party"
In the event only the Virginia
Democratic Party electors were
named. they would simply re-
frain from voting for the can
didate Of either national party
Control 100 Delegates
BY this procedure. Virginia and
any other Southern States which
followed it would not lose the
seniority on committees held by
members Of Congress.
Mr.. Battle estimated that as
many as 100 electoral votes could
be- withheld from the national
party nominee If the South acted
in concert.
