The Democratic convention came its long-awaited showdown batto tie over Pennsylvania the race Senator issue todancis J. Myers asked the delegates to a committee-drafted party plat10rm. Myers, chairman of the platform committee, read to the convention the document whose plank on civil rights was objectionable to Dixie leaders and sume northerners.
Line Up For Debate Grimly. a group of southern for Jeaders lined up on the stage the debate. They sought to change the effect of the civil rights plank by adding a declaration of of state's states deal with their own in.rights supporting the right to ternal affairs. The southern speakers were Dan Moody, former governor of Texas; Cecil Sims of Tennessee, Chauncey Sparks, former governor of Alabama, and Walter Sillers of Mississipplers won a suspension of the convention rules to extend the debate to one hour. Will Attack Plank Mayor Hubert Humphrey of the civil rights also, plank, which calls Minneapolis, waited to attack on Congress to protect minority rights "to the limit of its constitutional powers." Hurophrey wanted this planx to advoate specific.

over the proceedings that some Dixie delegates would walk out of the assembly to. convene Jater, nominate their own candidate for President and write their own platform. Thus the outcome of today's battle could determine whether the southern and northFern Democrats can become one cobesive party again. The southerners lost in the resolutions committee early to: day both their battles- on civil 'and. states' rights.
They seemed almost certain to lose again on the convention floor. Votes of big northern. state could overwhelm them. Major Provisions Major provisions of the platform presented by the resolutions committee included: Civil rights- refusing to single out President Truman's specific civil rights proposalsfor anti-lynch, anti-poll tax, anti-Jim Crow and anti-job crimination laws--the document contains language strong enough, some self-styled liberals said, to constitute an endorsem*nt of the President's program in principle. Southerners fought rights bitterly in the 108- member committee.
When they lost they turned to to to to to to to to to to a state's rights plank designed to bar any federal interference in state affairs. They had the civil rights issue in mind. And again they were defeated. Labor---Repeal of the labor act and a boost in the minimum wage law, from 40 to .75 cents an hour. The UN Foreign policy--Strengthening of the United Nations, with the 1 party pledged to "continue to lead the way toward curtailment of the (U.

But Gov. Earle Clements of Kentucky said Barkley does not plan to make a statement of any Kind, concerning either moves to win the top spot or second place. Round Of Speeches Preliminary to the platform argument, the convention heard another round of speeches praising the Democratic party's record and lambasting that of the Republicans. There were cheers when James Roosevelt and A. F.
Whitney, railroad union leader, shouted demands for repeal, of the TaftHartley labor Its repeal is one plank in the platform draft. Party leaders were aiming at a schedule calling for a windup of the convention tonight after an acceptance speech from President Truman. Is Obviously Miffed Although the Kentuckian obviously was miffed at Mr. Truman's previous misfiring bid toward Justice William 0. Douglas, friends said they had no doubt that he would accept the 'No.
2 spot on the ticket. In fact, some rebellious southerners were talking of Barkley for No. 1 man, largely because the 20-minute demonstration given him when he completed his keynote speech Monday night hasn't been approached in enthusiasm since. Gov. Beauford Jester of Texas said he had been approached by Kentucky and California delegates to support Barkley as the No.
1 man. His reply: "Texas would be very much interested." Dave Foutz, a golden state delegate, said "California would go for him." Would Squelch Move Barkley insisted, however, he would squelch any such move. Handy Ellis, chairman of the Alabama delegation, said some of his group would walk out if they don't get what they like in the platform. There was no doubt that the Dixie delegations didn't subscribe to what came out of a 108-member drafting committee on the explosive civil rights issue. On that topic the platform plaged the party to "continue its efforts to eradicate all racial, religious and economic discrimination." That was a far cry from President Truman's proposals that Congress enact specific law banning state poll taxes, job discrimination, race segregation and lynching.
Southerners Incensed But the southerners were publicly incensed by the committee's to include a states' rights declaration. The question was: How much of a showdown fight would they actually make? Southerners spawned minority reports against the platform committee's recommendations. Civil rights advocates promised some, too. Two- Thirds Rule Dies Nevertheless there remained the possibility that after they and the opposing side have aired their views, the platform might be approved on a voice vote with House Minority Leader Sam Rayburn, the permanent chairman, gaveling that revolt into oblivion. An abortive effort to restore the two-thirds rule which until 1936 gave the South a veto over presidential nominations died that way last night under Barkley's hammer blows.
But delegate could make himself heard in the steaming. usually-packed convention hall, might force a vote on the issue. For the finale there remained the South's much publicized revolt against Mr. Truman. It semed likely to add up, at most, to about one sixth of the 1,234 official convention votes.
Senator Fulbright (D-Ark) estimated that about 200 votes will be cast for other. candidates when Mr Truman is nominated on the first ballot. The President approached the showdown hour with no formal opponent in sight except Gov. Ben' Laney of Arkansas, the choice of some- but not all Dixie groups. Laney's friends claimed 114 votes from Arkansas, South Carolina, Mississippi and Texas.
Senator Claude Pepper of Florida ended a 48-hour excursion into the Elysian fields of the presidential race with the observation that Democrats were watching their party gO to pieces before then eyes. Pepper, who dramatically ed his hat into the ring, on Sundar, jerked it back late yesterday without further Licn. He promised to support the convention's choice. Besides Laney, however, there was at least one other favorite Dixie son. Pledged To Russell Georgia pledged its 28-vote delegation to Senator Richard Russell.

Cox, state health officer said today. He reported 19 new cases of polio for the past week, shooting the total number for this year to 736 in 87 counties. There were 391 cases in 77 counties for the comparable period in 1946, the worst previous polio year in Texas.
Dr. Cox noted that the number of reported cases last week wan an increase of 22 over the previous week. "There's no way to tell whether, it has hit its peak," he said, adding that the 1948 total likely to surpass that of 979 in 1946. "There are eight more weeks in which polio can be expected and if the disease averages sixty cases a week we will 10 have occur, well over one cases," he said.

Solution of the Mexican seasonal labor problem is seen in a request made this week by the West Texas Chamber Commerce LatinAmerican com commission to the Texas Good Neighbor commission in seeking executive action by the governor.
This action would include a proclamation by the govI ernor, calling on all mayors and Chambers of Commerce in every town in Texas to use their efforts, 10 prevent discrimination. WTCC group also would have the governor issue executive orders to the Texas Employment commission to exercise greater control over movement of the Mexican workers, prevent exploiting by "jeffes" and otherwise causing overloads on communities unpre- pared for the influx of seasonal workers.

It was pointed out that these letters are from the highest official and civic authorities and speak with authority in their promises. Sutherland has been asked to transmit the letters to the Mexican government in an attempt to have lifted the ban against importation of Mexican workers. The following points were made in the presentation: "1.
That there are organized activities in every community to eliminate racial discrimination. That there are organized activities 10 provide necessary temporary and permanent cating entertainment facilities and many such facilities have already been extended. 43. That educational and reli. gious advantages are offered without discrimination.
"4. That there is a Mexican parity in com. pensation, and workers are paid on the same basis as any others for the same type of work, and the wage scale in West Texas is considerably higher than in Mexico. Proclamation Asked "On the basis of these pledges, we respectfully request that the Good Neighbor commission of State of Texas. Urge the governor of Texas to issue an official proclamation calling upon all city, county and Chamber of commerce officials of Texas to take necessary.

Urge the governor by executive order to request the fullest cooperation of all state agencies, such as the Texas Employment commission, to exercise their every legal power to prevent discriminations and to establish a definite good neighbor practice. "It is further recommended that copies of these proclamations and executive orders be transmitted through the Texas Good Neighbor commission to the proper authorities in Mexico, with the request that the ban against Mexican nationals entering the United States may be lifted."
