Leonard of LilUngton said this morning that' his investigation shows that the Ford hit the Oldsmobile in the side.

It was disclosed today. Their choice wUI be chairman of the committee which will draft the party’s platform at the Democratic convention in July. A party official said a search is under way for an administration Democrat who works easily with the Southerners. Another party strategist said it can be assumed that the chairman will be picked from the ranks of Democrats “who want to unite the party.” WANT TO APPEASE SOUTH The objective wiU be to frame a platform which will appease the Southerners, who oppose President Truman’s civil rights program, with out completely repudiating that program. A still broader objective is to avoid a party rift Uke that which cost the Democrats the electoral votes of four Southern states in 1948.
