Strategy in Negro Suit
For Party Enrollment
By Associated Press
COLUMBIA. S. C.. July 13 —
South Carolina Democratic leaders,
many of them torn from the Na
tional Convention in Philadelphia,
planned to meet here today to con
sider pending Federal court action
against them.
Called by State Chairman William
P. Baskin, the State Executive Com
mittee meeting resulted from Fed
eral Judge J. Waties Warlng's order
opening party enrollment books to
Negroes, pending final decision on
the issues.
Judge Waring ordered the books
opened until Friday, when he will
hear arguments on a Negro's suit
which seeks to outlaw party rules
limiting enrollment to white Demo
crats.
The complainant, David Brown,
argued that his name was purged
from the Beaufort County books.
His suit was backed by the Na
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People.
The suit seeks to force the State
party to adopt uniform enrollment
and voting rules for both white
and Negro electors.
Mr. Baskin, failing to get a time,
extension from Judge Waring, called i
the Executive Committee meeting
He said that about 25 national con
vention delegates of the 40 attend- J
ing would leave their seats in Phil- \
adelphia to attend.
The NAACP reported meanwhile
that four counties—Orangeburg,
Marlboro. Beaufort and Chesterfield
—had refused to enroll Negros after
Judge Waring issued his decree.
Another county, Sumter, required
Negroes to present general election
registration certificates, the NAACP
said.
South Carolina Delegate
Fight Up Again Today
PHILADELPHIA, July 13 M*>.— j
South Carolina's delegation to the
Democratic convention faced a
contest today before the Creden- j
tials Committee.
The South Carolina Progressive j
fNegroi Democratic Party protested !
the seating of the delegation because
Negroes did not participate in its
! selection.
| The Negroes carried the contest j
I to the Credentials Committee after
it was rejected last Saturday by the
Democratic National Committee.
Meanwhile, members of another,
rival South Carolina delegation ar
rived in Philadelphia. They are i
representatives of a 1 self-styled
"Citizens' Committee of true Demo-'
crats" who are displeased with State j
Democratic Party rules and policies
| affecting primaries.
! Members had to find hotel accom
modations in New York, it was re
ported.
Platform
(Continued From First Page.i
compromise language is understood
to sav that If any action of the U. N. |
conflicts with easing the embargo.'
then the Democrats pledge them
selves to work for a change in such
restrictions.
Senator Myers of Pennsylvania,
platform chairman, still refused to
make public any part of the plat- 1
‘form text, and said no one in the
18-member drafting group had in
dicated plans for a minority report.
The Senator pointed out, however,
that if there is to be a minority;
report on civil rights, or any other j
controversial plank, it would em-1
anate from the full Resolutions
Committee which meets today, and
not from the subcommittee.
The estimate of a 4.500-word
statement of party principles makes
the document almost twice as long
as the new Republican platform.1
and three times as long as the 1944
Democratic platform.
| On civil rights the Republicans
came out for a Federal anti-lynching j
law, and such Federal legislation as
may be necessary to maintain the
right of equal opportunity to work
and to advance in life, without
regard to race, religion or color.
The Republicans did not mention
the Taft-Hartley Labor Act. but
pledged continuing study to improve
labor-management legislation in the
light of experience and changing
conditions.
G. O. P. Favors States.
On the tidelands, the Republicans
took a stand in favor of the claim
of the States that they be given
back control of these submerged
lands. The administration recently
obtained a Supreme Court decision,
holding that the Federal Govern
ment has paramount rights over
such lands.
Although party leaders had hoped
to get the platform to the floor of
the convention for action today, this:
seemed unlikely this morning. It,
now appears mor» likely the plat
form will be taken up in the con
vention tomorrow afternoon. If
there should be a minority report
from the Southern States-Rights
advocates on the civil rights olank, j
it would be debated in the conven
tion under the rules of the House of
Representatives. These rules would
make it possible to propose changes
in any particular planks.
Ever since President Truman sub
mitted his civil rights program to!
Congress in February. The South- i
ern States have been in revolt over
the issue in varying degrees.
The present belief of the platform
builders that they may not go
through with their threatened floor |
fight over the civil rights plank j
may not be realized. There are [
several factors, however, working
in the interest of harmony. One is
the likelihood that Senator Barkley
of Kentucky may be put on the
ticket with Mr. Truman. Another
; is the fact that the platform does
not contain a plank upholding the
administrations claim to Federal
j control of coastal tidelands. Several
; of the Southern States are vitally
interested in this issue.
The 4.500-word present draft com
pares with the short 1.366-word $1944
platform. The 1948 Republican plat
! form was about 2,400 words.

Mrs. George Mesta. Washington's
No. 1 party-giver, was the hostess
and almost everybody who was any

guests.
Philadelphia hotels, jammed with
the convention crowd, were noisy
and boisterous with planned and
impromptu get-togethers. But. as
is usual with Mesta parties, hers
was in a class by itself. For one
thing, it was televised and broad
cast.
The satin-upholstered Mirage

around with fancy food and a three

floor would accommodate.
It would have been a tough party
to crash. A stifflv-attired major

door with a murmured “have you

11-1 inVole;Ritchie Absent
By th« A»*ociot«d Pr#s*
PHILADELPHIA, July 13.—Nc
braska's delegates went ahead with
a test vote on their presidential
nominee preference last night, de
| spite the previous opposition of
William Ritchie, State party chair
man.
The result, with Mr. Ritchie ab
sent, was an 11-1 decision to sup
port President Truman on the first
ballot.
Mr. Ritchie has opposed the Pres
ident since last month's 35th Divi
sion reunion in Omaha. He said
Sunday night he would "walk out
and go home" if the delegation
took a test poll then. He said that
was too early and the action would
embarrass him.
Sunday Mr. Ritchie came out for
Senator Pepper of Florida for Pres
ident.
Francis P. Matthews of Omaha,
delegation chairman, said the group
decided its position should be made
known through official action.
“There’s been a lot of misunder
standing,” he said. “We felt we
were entitled to express our opin
ion. too.”
Nationalized British Mines
Lose 93 Million in Year
By th# Associated Pres*
LONDON, July 13.—The National
Coal Board, operator of Britain’s,
' publicly owned coal pits, reported
today its first year's working of
.the nation's hard-pressed coal >n-!
dustry resulted in a loss of $93,
022,344.
The operations for the period
ending December 31, however,:
included the expenditure of approxi
mately $76,000,000 on capital ac-j
count, largely to begin moderniza
1 tion and re-equipment of some of
the run-down mines.
Indicating the size of the reor-|
ganization job to be done before
Britain's coal mines are fully mod
ernized, the board said that by the
end of last year it had earmarked
more than $2,000,000,000 for capital
improvement “over a period of sev
eral years.”
The law nationalizing the coal
mines was passed in 1946. Thi. Coal
Board took over operations on New
Year Day 1947

56 Japs Earn 5 Million Year;

»y the Associated Press
TOKYO, July 13.—The Finance
Ministry's Taxation Bureau an
nounced today that 56 Japanese
earned more than five million yen
last year—and that several of them
are sought by police, who want to
know how they did it.
Five million yen. at current official
exchange, is *18,518—lots of money,
even in high-priced Japan.
Only three of the 56 named were
wealthy in prewar days. The bu
reau announcement was regarded as
confirming a long-standing belief
that most of the postwar rich are
black market operators.
The man whose reported 20
million-ven income made him No. 2
on the list, for instance, is sought

Gov. Laney, With 92
Votes in Bag, Plans
To Fight Until End
PHILADELPHIA, July 13.— j
Gov. Ben Laney of Arkansas,!
States’ rights candidate for the
Democratic presidential nomina- j
tion, has 92 convention votes in
the bag today.
Arkansas, it is agreed, is certain to:
give him 22 more, and he can expect
support from at least portions of the
delegations from Florida, Alabama,
Louisiana, Georgia and possibly Vir
ginia.
Laney sympathizers say he will get.
sypport from still other States. j
The Texas delegation, which is!
bound by the unit rule, voted 33-21
last night to cast its 50 convention
votes for Gov. Laney as long as he
remains in the framework of the
Democratic Party—does not bolt the
convention.
Mississippi pledged its 22 and
South Carolina its 20 without quali
fications earlier. ,
While some of Gov. Laney’s most
enthusiastic supporters said he
might get close to 300 votes on the
first roll call, Gov. Laney himself
conceded to a reporter that he has
no chance of nomination here.
In Until the End.
rne bi-year-oid Arkansan said
whatever convention votes' he gets
will be in support of a doctrine of
States' Rights and in opposition to
President Truman's civil rights pro
gram and to the Chief Executive
himself.
"I’m in until the end,” he told a
reporter. ’’I do not compromise or
retreat on a matter of principle.”
Gov. Laney was chosen as their
presidential candidate early Monday
by Southern leaders demanding a
States’ Rights plank in the platform.!
Democratic leaders in some
Southern States, including at least
a part of the Arkansas delegation,
have threatened to walk out of thej
convention if it includes in the
party’s platform endorsement of any
of the civil rights program proposed
by President Truman. They assert |
this would be an invasion of States’!
Rights.
The walkout faction of Alabama’s,
delegation refused today to change |
’ its plans to quit the convention over!
the platform.
Thirteen of the 26 delegates are ,
pledged to walk out if a civil rights
plank is adopted.
They were asked to delay this
step long enough to cast their 13
votes for Gov. Laney, but they re
jected this proposal and made plans
: to leave tomorrow.
Georgia Won't Bolt.
Chairman James S. Peters of
Georgia's 28-vote delegation said
yesterday it will not bolt the con
vention, regardless of what hap
pens. but he has been working with
the States' Rights group since his
arrival Saturday.
Florida delegates, holding 12 * i
votes, are pledged to support Gov.
; Wright. But he is expected to re
lease them to Gov. Laney. This
group is opposed to Senator Pepper,
an avowed "liberal candidate” for
the presidential nomination, al
though they concede 6t4 votes will
go to Senator Pepper.
Virginia gave indications last
night that it might swing behind
Gov. Laney's candidacy, with Gov.
Tuck saying he believes the Arkan
sas chief executive is entitled to the
Old Dominion's support. Senator
Byrd, Democrat, of Virginia, did not
indicate a choice. Virginia has 26 :
votes.
2 Companies Put in Effect
New Steel Pricing Plan j
Py th* Associated Press
PITTSBURGH, July 13.—The new '
FOB mill pricing plan of Carnegie- j
Illinois Steel Corp. and the National
Tube Co. is in effect today.
A spokesman for the two sub
sidiaries of United States Steel said
yesterday that consumers would
start paying actual freight rates
from the mills as of midnight last
night. The company, in the past,
quoted prices from "basing points”:
scattered about the country in an j
effort to equalize the cost of steel
products to all United States con
sumers.
The consumer paid freight charges
only from the "basing point,” j
which usually was near his own mill.
A recent Federal court order af- j
fecting the shipment of cement ]
forced abandonment of the "basing
point” plan, the company said.

VenueChangeHearing
For Miners Continued
By th« Associated Press
GRUNDY, Va„ July 13.—Argu
ments in behalf of a State motion
for a change of venue in the trial
of 160 miners charged with mob as
sault under Virginia's antilynching
law will be heard Monday.
The case was continued by Judge
Prank W. Smith yesterday after de
fense attorneys asked for time in
which to assemble counter affidavits
against those accompanying the pe
tition for a venue change.
Defense counsel argued in Bu
chanan County Circuit Court yes
terday that it would be unconstitu
tional to move the trials to another
jurisdiction.
As the complicated trials opened
in this Southwest Virginia mining
town the courtroom was cleared of
spectators so that there would be
room for the defendants.
Liquor stores in the town were
ordered closed for the day and all
sale of beer and wine stoppld. The
town swarmed with State troopers.
Since the mine disturbance last
April which resulted in the indict
ment of 178 miners, the number of
State troopers stationed in the area
has been increased from three to 68,
Col. C. W. Woodson, jr., superintend
ent of State Police, said.
Of the 178 miners indicted on 10
counts by a special grand jury, 158
were present in the courtroom yes
terday as defendants, two others are
in the hospital and 18 have not been
apprehended.

Justice Schreiber ruled there was
nothing in the will of Henry Clay
Frick, the steel magnate, to bar the
trustees from accepting suitable do
nations to the collection in their
discretion.
The case grew partly from ob-,
jections by Mr. Frick's daughter.

Reuther Walks Out
Of Ford Negotiations
fty th« Associated Press
DETROIT. July 13.—Walter P.
Reuther, president of the CIO
United Auto Workers, angrily walked
out on the Ford Motor Co. wage
negotiations today, 24 hours after
he entered them.
"All they're doing in there is fight
ing theoretical wlndyiUls,” he told
newsmen. "I’ll come back when
they get down to brass tacks, the
practical aspects of the situation."
John S. Bugas, Ford vice presi
dent, retorted:
"When Reuther talks of theoret
ical mindmills, he means we are not
acceding to the union's full de
mands .”
The UAW-CIO is asking wage
raises and social security demands
totaling an estimated 28 cents an
hour. The current estimated aver
age production wage is $1.52. The
company has offered an ll-to-14
cent-an-hour wage increase formula.
Negotiations continued after Mr.
Reuther walked out.
He entered the conferences Mon
day for the first time in the history
of Ford's relations with the big auto
union. It also was Mr. Reuther's
first return to the bargaining table
since an assassin tried to kill him
last April.
The UAW-CIO has threatened a
strike any time after Thursday un
less a new contract agreement is
reached. It would affect 110.000
Ford production employes.
