GOP Delegates
Doublecross??
(Continued from Page 1)
however, Burton was a controver
sial figure because of several an
nounced changes of opinion. When
he came to the convention he had
announced that he was changing
from supporting Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower to backing Sen. Ro
bert Taft. He was forced to re
verse his stand, however, and
posed with Gov. Thomas E. Dew
ey of New York in which he said
he was back under the Ike ban
ner.
Negro Delegates Startled
Brooks had this to say about
Burton's action
"Negro delegates were startled
when Burton seconded the plat
form. We did not seek a better
civil rights plank because of tele
vision or because we wanted to
put on a show. We were working
to help the party.
"About 10 delegates, all of them
militant, attended the first cau
cus. There, we proposed amend
ments with teeth. Hobson Rey
nolds was to make the address,
but Burton said he would speak.
We agreed, especially because he
already had arranged for five
minutes of time from Chairman
Martin.
"Burton certainly let us down,
but we will continue to work on
Republican candidates to sec
that they take up our fight.”
The four Elk leaders writing
the plank were Bob Johnson,
grand exalted ruler, and Reynolds
of Philadelphia and Dr. H. W.
Hunter and Judge Jerry It. Jack
son of Cleveland.
Some Approve
Some of the delegates, how
ever, approved Burton’s action.
Carey D. Blue of New York said
if such men as Sen. Ives and Gov.
Driscoll approved the current
plank, it was all right. He said:
"If these friends of the Negro
say it has possibilities, it probably
has. We must respect our friends.
Personally, I think we should
fight for civil rights.
Another New York delegate,
Stanley M. Douglas, an alternate
said:
"Ives said he can work with It.
I consider him an expert, and we
should respect expert opinion.”
Barrington Parker of Washing
ton. D. C. commented, "We can’t
do too much with something that
is basically weak.”
The consensus of delegates was
that although the plank was not
strong as they would like it to be,
they felt that the GOP was the
only party that will take any ac
tion. They said the Democrats
talk civil rights, but take little
action.
GOP Civil Rights Plank
The civil rights resolution as
passed reads as follows:
"We condemn bigots who in
ject class, racial and religious
prejudice into public and pol
itical matters. Bigotry Is un-

this power, reserved to the
states, is essential to the main

“We will prove our good

"Enacting federal legislation

duplicate state efforts to end
such practices; should not set
up another huge bureaucracy.
Amendment Proposed By
Negro Delegates
The proposed amendment aris
ing from the Negro caucus con
tained most of the points of the
approved plank with the follow
ing additions.:
"We pledge our party to take
action on the opening day of the
83rd congress in January, 1953 to
obtain adoption of rules in the
senate that will permit a majority
of senators present and voting to
limit and close debate so that the
senate may proceed to a vote on
any pending matter after there
lias been reasonable opportunity
for full debate.
"We pledge ourselves to the en
actment of federal legislation pro
hibiting discrimination in employ
men because of race, color, re
ligion or national origin and es
tablishment of a federal agency
empowered to enforce that pro
hibition."
Before the plank was submitted
to the convention, a white woman.
Keen Observer of
Mrs. Mildred E. Younger of Los
Angeles, took the most positive
stand for a strong civil rights
plank.
Harold E. Stassen, one of the
presidential candidates, also came
out for a stronger plank that was
passed.

Democrats Take
Spotlight . . .
(Continued from page 1)
Stevenson earlier in the campaign
stated that he wax not interested
in running for president; however,
lately he has indicated that he
might be interested.
Sen Kefauver, the man who
earned prominence as head of the
senate crime investigating com
mittee which bore his name, has
been vague on civil rights and,
consequently, has not endeared
himself to many Negroes. At the
same time few southerners have
come out for him.
He has stated that he is not in
favor of a federal FEPC law with
enforcement provisions. However,
he later agreed to support one if
it is put into the national plat
form at the convention. Still later
he said that he doubted that it
could be enforced.
Generally speaking, followers of
Kefauver are dissident Democrats
who are dissatisfied with the
regular Democratic organization.
Regular party organizations have
not supported Kefauver. Because
of this, he has lashed out at what
he termed city bosses and their
attempts to hamper his campaign.
Stevenson Compromise Choice?
Stevenson is considered by
many to be a compromise candi
date who would be acceptable to
all diverse elements within the
party. On civil rights tm is a mid
dle-roader who approves a limited
amount of federal action.
Many possible slates have been
suggested in an effort to bring
about harmony among the various
elements. Chief among these is
the Stevenson-Kefauver team.
Another is Stevenson-Barkley.
However, with as many diverse
groups as are now in the Demo
cratic party, any combination
could result. The convention
promises to be packed with ac
tion.
