Virginia Democrats Wait For Civil Rights Decision
Virginia delegates to the Democratic National Convention adopt a wait and see stance on the presidential nomination until the civil rights plank emerges from the Platform Committee. Former Gov John Battle leads the Virginia group backed by 32 votes, while Frank Vaughan supports mass resistance and Byrd. The platform is due Wednesday with balloting starting Thursday. New York and Michigan may push a minority civil rights report to the Moor, but Battle expects the South to avoid it if the committee's plank omits the Supreme Court decision.
