Dixie Delegates Balk at Civil Rights Plank at Democratic Convention
Sen. Sam J. Ervin Jr. led a Southern push to soften a civil rights plank approved by a drafting committee for the Democratic National Convention. The plank pledges full federal powers to end racial discrimination in voting, education, employment and housing. Northern groups hailed the plank while Southern delegates weighed walkouts or a floor fight tied to Lyndon B. Johnson's nomination hopes. The dispute centers on peaceful sit-in demonstrations and party endorsement of the protests.
