Byrnes, backed by the governors of Georgia and Florida, warned Tuesday that Gov. Adlai Stevenson of Illinois is nominated for the presidency on the democratic ticiiet he will talie a walk. The Dixiecrat Governor, who has held such top posts in na tional affairs as Secretary at State and Supreme Court jus tice, said further that if the na tional convention of the Demo cratic party refuses to seat the uninstructed anti-administration delegation from Texas he will bolt the party. When Governor Allan Shi vers, heading tre Texas group, heard of Byrne’s statement he replied “God bless him.” Shi vers has never tlireatened to bolt the party although he is strictly against the Truman ad ministration. He stated he would continue to refuse to pledge his vote to the Democratic nominee until he knows who he is. Other Dixiecrat governors who joined Byrnes in his re jection of Stevenson were Fuller Warren of Florida and Herman Talmadge of Georgia. Talmadge stated that “Civil rights, exctpt those granted in the Constitution are the rights of the states.” Warren said: “I feel the states have exclusive and absolute re sponsibility in the matter. The federal govenunent has no more right to enact a compulsory Jail sentence FEPC—than it has to ,pass laws telling who they can marry.” Byrnes even went so far as to say that delegates from his state could be instructed to vote for a Republican or third party ticket If the Democratic plat form calls for FEPC legislation. Stevenson favors state FEPC but if the states don’t act he favors action by the federal government. Pres.

Tlie intersection has no traf fic signal light because the same must synchronize with the rail road crossing signals. This plus the fact that a building extends far out into it makes it terribly hazardous; so much that drivers of vehicles traveling north are forced to drive into the center of it before they are able to see traffic going west. Complaints of local citizens to city officials brought the reply that failure to place a traffic signal light at the comer was due to the delay of the Southern Railway in giving the “go” sign on the project and not city offi cials. In learning of the city’s plight the Carolina 'nmes published an editorial on the matter and dis patched a marked copy in which it appeared to President Harry DeButts. A copy of his reply appeers I above. OKLAHOMA CITY Closing the 43rd annual con vention of the National Associa tion for the Advancement of Colored People here Sunday, Waiter White, the Association’s executive secretary warne*'^" publicans and Denxxirats alike rhat repudiation of the civil rights program "will bring down the wrath of millions of independent voters.” Important among these inde pendents, he declared, and "more determined on this tlian most is the Negro vote now nearing 2,000,000 strong in the South and holding the poten tial balance of power in no less than 17 northern states with 231 votes in the electoral col lege. I say this not as a threat,"' Mr. White continued, "only as a simple, easily verifiable state ment of fact. The Negro vote in Ohio, Illinois and California de cided the 1948 presidential elec- ■ 'on.” T.'ie NAACP leader decried he quadrennial Gop pursuit of the elusive will o' the wisp of capturing the South.” With few exceptions, such as the late Wendell Willkie, “Republicans have been totally unable to un derstand that the only coalition the reactionary South will en ter is one in which Republicans surrender completely the party’s traditional position on the civil rights issue,’ Mr. White chargcd. To the Dixiecrats wlio threat en to bolt the Democratic party if a strong civil rights plank is adopted next week at Chicago, he repeated the NAACP admo nition of 1948; “Let ‘em Walk- Where can they go? Nowhere except to political oblivion. It is about time for Northern poli ticians to stop shivering in their boots whenever a Dixiecrat screams "bolt.” Whatever else southern politicians may be they are realistic about political patronage and the lucrative re wards which go with being the majority party. Whatever hap pens, political realists like Rus sell of Georgia, Kerr of Okla homa, and Lister Hill of Ala bama are not going to give up the prestige and power they now njoy. They know that Republi cans like Taft would give the South only the crumbs from the patronage table.” Fortunatjely, the NAACP exe cutive pointed out, there are “intelligent northern Democra tic leaders like Senator Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota and Herbert Lehman of New YORK who don’t frighten easily and who place principal above ex pediency, having awakened to the poker game the conserva tive South has been playing ” If the Democrats “want to commit political hari-kari, “he warned “let them nominate Richard Russell, Robert Kerr or any other anti-civil ri^ts can didate for either place on the ticket, or pussyfoot on the plat form plank on that issue.
