Civil rights leaders urge parties to curb prejudice in elections
Six clergymen and lay leaders from major faiths urged Republicans and Democrats to adopt a fair elections code and form local committees to counter religious and racial appeals. The appeal names leaders from the National Council of Churches, the Synagogue Council of America, and other groups, and cites a University of the South theology faculty dispute over admitting Negro students. The GOP platform endorses federal and state action against lynching, poll taxes, segregation in D C, and discriminatory employment, while stressing non-duplication of state efforts.
