Virginia Delegates Lean Toward Stevenson at Convention
Virginia delegates in Chicago remained uncommitted as the Democratic National Convention debated a civil rights plank. Ex Governor Battle and others framed the language as the irreducible minimum, aiming to hold Southern unity while avoiding stronger measures.

Virginia legislator James Thomson, a critic of integration, announced he will not vote to close schools or withhold funds in the upcoming special session. He favors a modified pupil assignment plan that could allow limited integration and serve as a compromise between segregationists and liberal leaders. Thomson said the plan would withhold state funds only for the number of children integrated into white schools, potentially encouraging local solutions without statewide sanctions.
