South Democrats win civil rights fight at Chicago convention
Southern delegates reach a late night compromise to avoid a floor brawl over the civil rights plank. Sen John Sparkman leads a generalized anti filibuster pledge in a separate section on congressional reorganization, while Sen Herbert Lehman abandons a direct assault on ending the filibuster. Lehman hints at minor amendments but no report. Possible revival by other New Deal Democrats remains uncertain. The memo also notes county insurance agency designations in Lea and Hobbs counties and ties Paul Brown to local real estate and insurance work.
