DEMOS GIVE SHORT; BUT
THEIR STRONGEST PLANK
ON EQUALITY;
(Continued from pase 1)
representing the National Negro
council argued that the government
should “if necessary, call out troops"
to enforce the recent supreme court
decision declaring that Negroes could
not be barred from state primaries
The Chicago Council Against Rac
ial and Religious Discrimination join
ed the other groups in judging im
mediate federal enactment of perm
anent FEPC legislation, while Mr^
Murray warned the committee mem
bers that “labor is demanding a c ;ur
ageous stand on the racial issue."
Bishop R. R. Wright presentee the
demands of the Fraternal Council of
Negro Churches in America, while
Max Yergan appeared for the Nat
ional Negro congress.
Significantly all of these groups
were virtually in accord on the
things that Negroes wanted of the
Democratic party.
The proposed CIO racial plank,
which so infuriated southern mem
bers of the committee that they
threatened to oppose even the mildest
anti-discrimination plank, read as fol
lows :
“The hateful practice of discrim
ination because of race, religion or
national origin against which we are
fighting abroad must be stamped out
at home. Anti-Semitic and anti-Ne
gro practices undermine the very
foundation of our democracy. Full
economic, political and civil equality
must be guaranteed to every Americ
an regardless of race, cree or nation
al origin.
“We call for the establishment of
a permanent Fair Employment Prac
tices committee iwth aequate approp
riations an enforcement powers. We
urge legislation to prohibit activities
or propaganda directed against anv
individual because of their racial, re
ligious or national origin.
“We urge the immediate passage of
the anti-poll tax bill and the elimin
aton of other restrictions on the right
to vote.”

A plank specifically condemning,
“anti-semitism and all forms of rac
ism" was sought by Frank Marshall
Davis, editor, Associated Negro press
who appeared before the committee
with two whites, Dr. John A. Lapp,
chaiiman, platform committee, Inde
pendent Voters Committee of Illinois
and Leonard A. Golditch, executive
secretary of the National Committee
to Combat Anti-Semitism which spon
sored the proposed plank.
The deadlock over the racial plat
fo. m which delayed the report of the
resolution committee for more than
48 hours was broken only after Pres
ident Roosevelt is reported to have
wired Chairman McCormack the com
prise platform finally adopted by the
committee.
The platform was adopted by all
the states except the Tennessee del
egation which under the leadership 01
the Crump-picked Sen. Robert Mc
Kellar, had announced earlier that
they would oppose to the last inclus
ion of any racial plank.
Southern members during the dead
lock over the racial plank had at first
held out for a repetition of the 1040
racial plank which in part, read: “We i
pledge to uphold due process and the
equal protection of the laws for ev
ery citizen regardless of race, creed
or color.”
But they were overruled by dele
gates from more liberal states, who
had been warned earlier by Negro
leaders on the scene that this plank
would no longer be adequate.
The platform as adopted did con
tain a plank favoring legislation guar
anteeing “equal pay for equal work"
but the discrimination would be elim
inated on the basis of sex. No men
tion was made of eliminating pay dis
criminations absed on color.
The platform further reaffirmed
the Four Freedoms, reviewed the rec
ord made by the Roosevelt leadership,
pledged the establishment of an inter
national organization to preserve the
peace, went on record as favoring the
establishing of a democratic Jewish
nation in Palestine, and expressed de
termination of the party to provide
jobs and benefits for retu-.iing vet
erans and solution of the problem o(
post-war employment wph federal aid
to workers during the demobilizat:on
of industry period.
