surprise attack or by accident.

scheduled for July Z and 8 in

The prickliest nettle the COM
mittee must grasp is, of course,
the civil rights issue. Already
two of the leading Democratic
candidates have come down on
either side of one phase of
the question, the sit-in strikes.
Senator Kennedy, of Massa-

No one SuppoSes that under
the Craftsmanship of Repre-

most militant liberals in the

of the platform will be ex-
pressed in mealy-mouthed fash
ion. AS Governor of Connecti-

the consequences of segrega-

Representative Bowles will
doubtless have the principal
hand in the drafting of the
whole platform.
Some observers are inclined
to believe that a strong civri
rights plank might not occasion
the breaking-point with bitter

Star Stan Writer

The platform committee of
the Democratic National Con-
vention is on the brink of a
daring break with tradition.
Its members are reliably re-
ported to be trying to write
brief, clear and readable doc
ument which they hope will
run no more than 1900 words
about the length of a LONG
letter home.
Under the leadership of
Chairman Chester Bowles, they
further hope to clarity in that
space such large and important
issues as What is the world
all about" and What is Amer
ica's place in it."
Usually party platforms are
celebrated for their length and
turgidity. Platform drafters
generally require from 10000
to $4,000 words to express their
contempt for the opposition
and their admiration for their
own party and to state their
promises to the electorate.
Composed by F. d. r.
The 1914 Democratic Party
platform was an exception.
Franklin D. Roosevelt wrote in
his own hand a manifesto that
was exactly 5000 words long.
1t began crisply, "The Dem
ocratic Party stands on its rec
ord in peace and war"
A more characteristic note
was struck in the preamble to
the 1856 platform carpentered
by the Democrats in Chicago:
"On the Threshold of an
atomic age. in mid-20th Gen.
tury, our beloved Nation needs
the vision, vigor and vitality
which can be infused into it
only by a government under
the Democratic Party"
Something for Everyone
1t went on for approximate
ly 10 columns of newSprint,
pledging a fair shake to every
one from women thirsting for
an equal rights amendment to
Indian tribes hunting larger
programs.
The 1860 platform will be
less detailed. But it is said that
lovers of fine print will find
refuge in a companion docu-
ment, in the nature of a con-
gressional report, which will
take note of specific programs
and will also include dissent
ing opinions.
The big questions are already
being aired in a series of ID
regional hearings, of which eight
have already been completed.
Members of local communities
have been invited to give their
views, and their mimeographed
testimony is being sent around
the country to the ITO members
OF the platform committee.
