CM I''Alio il'.R)— Democratic
model ales and southerners deleut-
e<l early today a bid of northern
liberals t>i put over a stronRei
civil liuhts pli.uk than the south
would swallow.
The Democratic national conven
tion shouted down a proposal of
those noitherners to pledge the
paity t>> carry out the Supreme
limit decision outlawing segrega-
tion in public schools.
The convention then adopted a
lengthy campaign platform con-
taining a compromise civil rights
plank that recognized the Supreme
Court decision as the law of the
land. This plank as adopted said
nothing about enforcing the deci-
sion. except that in any event
force should not be used.
Former President Truman join-
ed vvith party moderates in urg-
ed with party mode rates in urg-
ing adoption of the compromise o.
civil rights in the interests of par-
ty unity. This put Mr. Truman at
odds with many supporters of (iiv.
Averell Harriman whom he h a d
backed unsuccessfully for the pres
idential nomination.
Leaders Happy
Party leaders were jubilant over
the convention's action.
Rep. John W. McCormack D-
Mas.platform committee chair-
troit, and 1'fc Charles H. Ingrum

Marines were either pulled from
the lake or managed to swiiu u-
shore.
| i i. l wh-> led the fight for the com-
promise. said, "The sound action
| of the delegates means unity and
vic' ry in November."
Democratic National Chairman
I Paul M. Butler called it "a tre
I mendous demonstration of unity
j and solidarity in the party."
"The platform contains a forth
' right and unequivocal program on
| civil rights," he said.
While the convention stalled for
two hours Wednesday night, the
liberals tried in backstage huddles
t get others to go along with
a tougher plank. Those efforts
foiled. So they forced their views
to the convention floor vvith a
minority report represented by 38-
year-old Robert K. Short of Min-
nea nc'is.
Voice Vole
When convention chairman Sam
I IC..yburn put the issue to a vote,
th" minority report was" rejected
on a voice vote. No delegates se-
I ri> u.-dy challenged Raybum's rul-
. int at V£:2~> a. m. est that "the
i io s have it". No real effort was
Ii'iole by the losers to get a roll
cal' they knew they had been de-
i feated.
Soon after the start of Wednes-
daj night's convention session,
northern liberals opened a behind-
the-scenes drive to get the resolu
tions committee to reconsider its
action of a few hours earlier and
strengthen the civil rights plank.
The band played tinpmgrammed
numbers Vaughn Monroe sang so-
los and led the delegates in song.
