Southern Delegates Win Concessions at YDC Meeting
Southern delegates claim major gains at the National Young Democratic Convention. A Virginia state rights proposal passed the resolutions committee to urge preserving state powers, while a California push for federal fair employment legislation faced a softened vote. A watered down civil rights tribute to President Truman was adopted, and a bid for two thirds rule in Democratic elections failed 9-6 in committee. James Byrnes may back a similar measure in Chicago next summer. Principal speeches frame next year’s campaign as a contrast with the Republican war stance.
