LOS ANGELES, July ll.-A
plank urging ratification of
constitutional amendme n t
granting Washington residents
a vote in presidential elections
has been written into the pro-
posed Democratic platform.
Drafters indorsed the suf-
frage proposal yesterday along
with two other voting recon-
mendations. They were for:
Congressional clearance of
an additional amendment to
guarantee the Capital city
representation in Congress.
Immediate passage by Con-
gresS of a home rule bill to
create some kind of elected
m unicipal government in
Washington.
The District section will be
included in the platform to be
presented to the full Platform
Committee today. Committee
Chairman Bowles, a Connecti-
cut Congressman, will present
the complete document to the
convention tomorrow.
The three-part District plank
incorporated all the suggestions
of Katie Louchcheim, national
committeeWoman from the Dis
trict, and Joseph Rauh, District
delegate, at hearings last week.
1t was preceded by a general
Introductory paragraph calling
for development of Washington
as a ShoWplace of democracy.
Acceptance by the Democrats
of the suffrage amendment
would be particularly signifi-
cant because their party con-
trolls 80 State Senates and 40
State Houses.
The amendment cleared by
Congress this session requires
ratification by three e-fourths, or
3S. of the States to become the
law Of the land. Hawaii al

Mr.. Goodies withdrawal of a
challenge against Mr.. Vaughn

the conventions credentials

slider it.
William Battle, a member of
the Virginia delegation who is
serving on the credentials COM

would come up because it was

lenge in his own behalf.
But Mr.. Battle was optimistic
the matter would be settled
amicably when he shows the

by Gov. Almond in the matter
and supported by Mr.. Goode.
Supported Eisenhower
The challenge was based on
Mr., Vaughn's activities in be-
half Of President Eisenhower in
the 1852 and 1856 presidential
election in which Virginia went
Republican.
Mr.. Vaughn, who is from
Rocky Mount, is identified with
the recently formed Straight
Democratic Ticket Committee
which was organized to keep
Virginia in the Democratic
ranks in this years presiden-
tial voting.
Gov. Almond said he had
pointed out to Mr.. Goode that
Mr.. Vaughn signed the GUS
tomary party oath when he
filed as a candidate to the Vir-
ginia Democratic Convention.
In the oath, Mr.. Vaughn
pledged his membership as a
of the Virginia Demo-

support of the nominees of that

Michael j. Birmingham was
due to get the job as Mary

committeeman again today
Gov. TaWeS let it be known
he wasn't interested in taking
Mr.. Birmingham'S place.
The question of Mr.. Birm-
ingham's. reelection, together
with that of DR.. Mildred oten-
asek as national committee
woman, has been up in the
air for the past week.
But the Governor confided
as he arrived here yesterday
that he saw no need to replace
them. With the Governors
mind made up, it was fore

Replacing Mr.. Birmingham
was Thomas D'Alesandro's idea.
The former Baltimore Mayor
explained that he thought it
might be beneficial for the
State to have its Governor on
the National Committee. He
assured fellow Democrats that
he did not intend his proposal
as a slap at the incumbent
committeeman although it

that Mr.. Birmingham supported

Marking Time
The District decided to mark
time with some embarrassment
Delegates want to march, but
only behind the leader who will
win the balloting battle. They
feel they'll know who that is
by tomorrow. the day set for
their next caucus.
They just couldn't take the

The hearts of many of them
belong to Mr.. Stevenson but
their logic says Senator Ken
nedy. The deciding factor will
be an impersonal analysis de-

not a perfunctory one. 1t was

He had no objection. however
to the delegations going on the

LOS ANGELES, July ia
breakfast gathering repeatedly
called to plot a convention
walkout by Virginia delegates
was called off today after Gov
Almond served notice he in
tended to stick by the party.
At the same time, the Gov
Iernor put his feet down on an
other touchy matter and came
out the winner. He persuaded
Virgil H. Goode to withdraw
his challenge of Frank Vaughn
as member of the Virginia
delegation. Mr.. Goode had
sought to deny a convention
seat to Mr.. Vaughn, an Eisen-
hover supporter in 1852 and
1856, unless Mr.. Vaughn gave
assurance he would support
the Democratic ticket this year.
Both the breakfast cancella-
ton and Gov. Almonds firm

plank proposed by a drafting

grumblings in the South.
On this, the Governor re-
manned noncommital for the
time being. Asked if he had
anything to say about the pro-
posed civil rights pronounce
meDtS in the platform, he
brushed the matter asicC with
the comment that he had not

Gov. Almond remained loyal to

LOS ANGELES. July IL
Illinois may still be Adlai Ste
vensons home, but politically
he has been turned away from
the door.
The State that nurtured his
family for three generations
and that elected him Governor
in 1948 and paced his presi-
dental nomination bids in
1852 and 1856 dropped him cold
yesterday.
Shifting the fresh breeze OF
victory blowing out of Massa-
chusetts, Chicago's Mayor
Richard j. Daley, who came to
prominence as a member OF
Gov. Stevenson's cabinet, came
down hard for Senator Ken
nedy at the caucus here OF
Illinois delegates to the Demo-
cratic convention.
Arvey Plea Needed
And the Illinois delegates
needed the plea of National
Committeeman Jacob M. Arvey
the man who picked Mr..
Stevenson for Governor in
l948-to give Mayor Daley
the means to be the dominant
force in this convention" by
putting 59l2 of their SO votes
in the Kennedy column.
Senator Symington salyaged
6l2, Just one-third of what
his campaign manager had
claimed for him before the
caucus. For Mr.. Stevenson:
two votes, with a hint that
the caucuS's single abstainer
might also be for him.
In essence, the caucus did
little more than demonstrate
the well-known fact that senti-
ment is one of the successful
politicians least conspicuous
qualities. But the outcome was
a bitter pill for Stevenson back
erS from Illinois.
A young woman wearing a
badge saying Stevenson, Hi
nois' favorite son." accoSted a
departing delegate and said:
Il just thought you would like
to know l flew out here with
100000 Stevenson signatures
from Chicago alone" The dele
gate turned away.
Conversation Uninhibited
This is some democracy"
she shouted after him.
Reporters listening to the
caucus proceedings through the
paper-thin walls of the Hay
ward Hotel, got the impression
that the conversation was un-
inhibited, if not very fiery. Only
the Stevenson hackers were in
audible.
Mayor Daley opened the dis
cuSSion with his expected in
dorsement of Senator Kennedy,
a man he said had "a great war
record, a great legislative record
and will make a great Presi-
dent"
There were a couple of
speeches echoing that senti-
ment and then former Senator
Scott Lucas, wha had been
President Truman's majority
leader, made the pitch for SEN
ator Symington.
Explains Stand
Explaining that he was mot
seeking to stop any one," he
told why he favored Senator
Symington: Labor will be for
him. The colored vote will be
for him. The minorities will
be for him. Every Democrat
will be for him. Stuart SYM
ington can put every man on
the State ticket in Office"
The effect of Mr.. Lucas ora
tory was dissipated when the
next speaker, eX-Gov. John
Stelle, announced he was
switching from Senator SYM
lngton to Senator Kennedy.
Il said 1 was for Syming-
ton, and l was" he said. IF
I thought Symington had a
chance, I'd go all out for him.

rounds of trumps and then went
after every flnesse in sight.
His first step was to lead a
diamond to the king and return
a diamond for a finesse Of the
jack. West won with the queen
of diamonds and got out safely
with a diamond. Now South
had to fall back on the heart
finesse, and he was down one
when this lost.
Game Was Unbeatable
1t was a bad day for f1nessing,
but the game contract was
actually unbeatable. There
were too many illnesses for one
player to take; South should
have allowed somebody else
to take one for him.
Declarer was on the right
track when he ducked the first
round of hearts and later drew
two rounds of trumps. But
then he should leave the hearts
and diamonds alone.
The correct play is to lead the
jack of clubs from the South
hand. West must play the
queen, since the first trick To-
Gates that card in his hand.
Declarer does not ruff this card
in dummy; instead, he discards
a small diamond from dummy.
Now South needs the rest of
the tricks, and he will surely
get them. If West returns a
heart or a diamond. he gives
declarer a free flnesse, and If
West returns a club. dummy
discards a heart while South
ruffs.
1t pays to give a trick to an
opponent If he must promptly
give you two tricks in exchange.
Fortunes have been built on this
