Sparkman CONVENTION BUILDING in Chicago, July 26—Senator Herbert H. Lehman of New York today urged Senator John J. Sparkman of Alabama, following his nomi nation for Vice President, to em brace without reservation the civil rights plan written into the Dem ocratic platform earlier in the week. “If he doesn’t,” Senator Leh man said, “there is no question but that it will weaken the ticket in New r York.” Senator Sparkman's nomination for Vice President appeared to nullify the underlying strategy of New’ York ninety-four-vote dele gation yesterday in throwing the bulk of its support to Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson of Illinois for the Presidential nomination on the third ballot. Representative Adam Clayton Powell Jr., of Harlem, a delegate at large, said today that Senator Sparkman’s selection would make it impossible for him and other Negro delegates from New York to campaign for the Democratic national ticket. He said he would confine his campaign activities this fall to helping candidates for state and local office. OTHERS TAKE SAME VIEW Although less outspoken, Negro delegates from other states ap peared to take much the same view. One of them, Assemblyman W. Byron Rumford of Berkeley, Calif., said it would be “very dif ficult for me to support Senator Sparkman.” “While he is a liberal in the Southern sense, we cannot see things the same way,” Mr. Rum- ford said. “It is going to be diffi cult. It seems to me that we from the North and the West should have been the ones w’ho fought the ‘loyalty pledge’ in the early stages of the convention instead of the Southerners.” Adolf A. Berle Jr., David Du- binaky and Aylex Rose who have been in Chicago for the last w’eek as observers for the Liberal party of New York, left by train for home this afternoon without mak ing any comment on the ticket. Unless the Liberal party endorses the Democratic nominees, they would have but little chance of carrying New York, where the Liberals have demonstrated in several elections that they have the balance of political power. Mr. Berle is state chairman of the Liberal party. Mr. Dubinsky, who is president of the Interna tional Ladies Garment Workers Union, A.F.L., and Mr. Rose, who is president of the International Hat, Cap and Millinery Workers Union, A.P.L., are vice chairmen In a statement dictated after the convention had nominated Senator Sparkman by acclamation, Senator Lehman said: “I have great affection, person al regard and respect for my col league, John Sparkman. “He has been, in all respects ex cept possibly one, a real fighting liberal. He has the qualifications of a fighting candidate. ‘Without Reservation’ “If he is to win the support of New York and of liberals general ly in this election, he must accept without reservation, the fine civil rights plank in our platform. He must not only accept that plank but advocate its effectuation as the policy of the Democratic- party. “I know John Sparkman to be a liberal with great capacity for leadership. He has a deep wis dom, very great courage and high character. We of the North will welcome his realization that the civil rights program outlined in our platform will be of the great est benefit to the new South which John Sparkman so well represents.” Representative Powell said be fore he left that Senator Spark man’s nomination was one of the “great tragedies of our time” be cause the Alabaman’s record and position on most issues, except the civil rights question, was good. “His world position,” the Har lem Representative said, “is un assailable.” “However,” he went on “with a weak civil rights platform and a totally uncommitted Presiden tial candidate, it will be sheer death in the north to try to sell anyone from the South, except Vice President Alben W. Barkley, to the Negro voters.” Mr. Powell continued: “Unfortunately, Sparkman is a sectional captive and it is an im possible for him to get the Negro vote in the North as it is for me a Negro, to get the white vote in the South. Some day the situa tion might he different. But that time hasn't come yet. "Cannot Make Us Vote" “They can cram a candidate down our throat but they cannot make us vote for him. “I personally will not campaign for the national ticket. I will help in the election of state and local tickets where I am asked but I will not say a word for the national ticket. “This lias been cooking since Monday. That's why I refused to vote for Governor Stevenson yes terday. Mr. Powell said he was speak ing for all the Negro delegates from New’ York and that he thought he reflected the view of the Negro delegates from other states. Arthur Chapin, a Negro dele gate from New Jersey, who di rects the civil rights section of the New Jersey Political Action Committee of the Congress of In dustrial Organizations, refrained from an outright refusal to sup port the Democratic candidates, hut he, too, took a very pessimis tic view of Democratic chances of winning the votes of Negroes and other minority groups. "In Alabama,” he remarked, Ne groes cannot get equal education al opportunity. They cannot get equality in anything.” Mr. Chap in added: “Negroes cannot overlook the fact that, if elected, he will be presiding officer of the Senate where the filibusters against civil rights take place. It could make the platform declaration on cloi- ture limiting debate on contro versial issues or insure they are brought to a vote meaningless.’ Mr. Powell, who was standing by when Mr. Chapin made his statement interpolated that “for me this puts the election of Ike on ice.” CIRCLES TO MEET Circles Numbers 1, 4, 6 and 8 of the Woman’s Society of Chris tian Service of Central Methodist Church will meet jointly for their annual picnic supper at the Margaret Hunter Park, Wednes day evening, August 6th at 6:20 p.m. Each circle will hold a brief business meeting following the picnic supper.

Chicago - The Democrat Con vention here lias posed a problem almost unique in political prob lems. Why, people are asking, did the leaders of the convention not only permit, but aid and abet in the abuse and humiliation of the Southern delegations? Why was the convention ini tially turned over to New Deal Senator Blair Moody of Michi gan, who refusing to recognize Southern delegates seeking the floor, joined hands witli Senator Humphreys of Minnesota and Franklin I.). Roosevelt, Jr., to steamroller Southerns into bit ter silence? Why was this done? Some analysts think the North ern “New Deal” wing of the Demo crat Party is determined, once and for all, to discipline the Democrat group in the South. The Northern faction is believed to have adopted the view that, they tan re-elect a Democrat nominee without the aid of Southerners, many of whom they look upon as “conservatives” in the worst sense of that word. The spectacle itself was almost unbelievable to objective observ ers. Reporters asked themselves: How can this new Northern lead ership forget that before it gained the massive and controlled vote of organized labor, of the city machine, that after all, it was the South which brought the Democrat Party to life, nurtured it. when it was in danger of dis solution, and finally, sought to protect those principles which they inherited from such South erners as Thomas Jefferson?
