We propose to follow the course

is considered to be one Of the
leaders of the so-called liberal
wing Of the G. o. p, told report
ers he wants language in the
plank that will reveal, not con-
ceal. our feelings"
He said he was assured by
Senator Dirksen that the civil
rights plank would put it on
the line"
The Maryland Governor also
said he urged the subcommittee
chairman to recommend a plank
calling for repeal of the Nc
Carran-W Walter immigration Act,
Gov. McKeldin often has at
tackled the act in speeches
around the country.
Mr.. Dalton predicted that a
strong civil rights plank would
upset progress being made in
the South toward the building
of a real two-party system.
In this he was supported BY
another Dirksen subcommittee
witness, Thomas E. Stagg. jr., a
delegate from Louisiana.

Dixie since the Supreme Court
school segregation decision" Mr.,
Stagg told the subcommittee.

don't care for us just when we're
starting to build a two-party
system.
I'VE need a moderate civil

to attract Democratic voters to
our ranks"
Another Virginia delegate, Al

STAR CONVENTION BU-
REAU, CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-THE
Democratic National Convention
met today at noon with a wide
open fight for the party's vice
presidential nomination on its
hands.
The fight developed after Adlai
Stevenson swept into the presi-
Dental nomination under an
avalanche of votes, left it to the
convention to pick his running
mate.
AS the convention opened its
afternoon session for the nomi-
nation and balloting on vice
presidential candidates, the situ-
alton was confusing and the out
come in doubt.
Senator Estes Kefauver of
Tennessee appeared to be a
front runner.

Senator Albert Gore, another
Tennessean, apparently with the
backing of the Tennessee delega-
ton, added to the confusion, He
announced he would have his
name presented to the conyen-
ton and that he would have the
support of the State delegation.
Senator Kefauver's enemies in
the Tennessee delegation tried
first to push Gov. Frank Clement.
Apparently the effort failed and
they turned to Senator Gore.
1t has been reported that
Mr.. Stevenson was particularly
friendly to Senator Gore.
The Kefauver managers. de-
claring that their candidate
would go into the convention
with more than 500 convention
votes. said that they knew of
the Gore-Clement movement
against Senator Kefauver. and
had discounted it.
Senator Kefauyer himself. at
a pre-dawn news conference said
a survey by Pollster Elmo Roper
showed he had 703 votes. more
than the required majority.
Other candidates, pressing
nard. were Senator Hubert Hum
pnfey OF Minnesota and Senator
Jonn F. Kennedy of Massachu-
sets. who is an unannounced
candidate but is actively seekin0
votes. Both of them have con-
siderable support among the
delegates.

He left no doubt that he will

from his press secretary, Roger

to the campaign now laid out hy
