PAGE rWO ADLAI STEVENSON '6O Civil Rights Plank May Cause Party Split LOS ANGELES (JP)—A bitter battle over a strong civil rights plank Democratic National Convention yesterday. Stern-laced Southern delegates entered a closed session of the member Resolution Committee all primed to speak their mind about the approved Sunday night by a 20-member subcommittee. The Dixie attitude was expressed in the crisp comment Sam J. Ervin Jr. of North Caro lina—"l cannot accept it." The plank pledges the Demo cratic party to use the full powers iof the federal government to end racial discrimination. It commits the party to en acirrient of legislation empower ing the attorney general to seek a civil injunction against those accused of employing discrimi natory practices. The plank also has a kind word' for the sit-in demonstrationsj staged in the South in protest against Negroes being barred' from eating places. These words; galled the Southern delegates. Ervin and Charles Block of Ma con. Ga., also a member of the committee, said they probably: would file a minority report on' , the civil rights controversy. They stood ready to take the fight to the convention floor if they failed !in efforts to get the committee to ;soften the plank. Headed by Rep. Chester Bowles of Connecticut, the committee moved its meeting place to a new hotel for the second time in two days in an effort to hide from newsmen and others in terested in its proceedings. Anticipating sharp debate on the civil rights controversy, the com mittee prepared for a long ses sion, Bowles had expressed hope the group.would approve the full platform Monday in preparation for submission to the convention Tuesday Congo Nation Appeais to UN To Curb Riots WASHINGTON 1.1') -- The United States yesterday . alerted troops for possible duty in the mutiny-torn Congo, but left the decision to use them up to the United Nations. The fledgling African republic has appealed to the U.N. for help in restoring order. Top U.S. offi cials said tough American infantry troops, already alerted in \Vest Germany, could be rushed swiftly to the Congo if the U.N. de cides to intervene. But, it was clear from cautious statements that the Eisenhower administration did not want to take the lead in the emergency. Authorities feared the Soviet Union might twist the action into a sign the United Stags wanted to snuff out the independence of the 12-day-old African nation.

LEORA DANA LYNDON JOHNSON Finished Points to LOS ANGELES (IP) Most of the delegates. if not the candi dates, are having a lot of fun at the Democratic convention, but it appears now that the real business was done long before anybody left home. The real business, of course, is to choose the party's candidate for president. It is generally believed now that Sen. John Fitzgerald Kennedy of Massachusetts aiready is the choice, although the formal vot ing doesn't start until Wednesday. How so? Well, Kennedy won seven straight state primary elections. His bandwagon was oiled months ago. His lieutenants, with precise timing, were the smoothest of operators. This, in short, is a technique of the jet age. If they do, the national conven tion in the old-fashioned sense of lookivg over the candidates at the convention site, of bargaining and maneuvering there is fin ished. The main business will have been completed before the first badge, button and banner is printed. But a convention has another function. It is to assemble some 10,000 'politicians and their mates in a pleasant city, far from home in most cases. There they put on funny hats and red-white-and blue costumes: whoop and holler in hotel corridors, glad-hand their best friends and wor.q enemies. make speeches, see the sights, and have a high old time for about a week.
