"—— ; Some Leaders Predict South To Back GOP ATLANTA,(IP) —Two South ern Democratic leaders to day foresaw possible at tempts by disgruntled Demo crats of Georgia and South Carolina to organize support :rom Gen. Dwight D. Eisen hower. Sen. Burnet R. Maybank of South Carolina said discontent with the national party platform may lead to an all-out fight to make the Repulican presidential nominee the official Democratic candidate of his state. Gov. Herman Tatmadge of Geor gia said he understood some Geor gia Democrats are planning to certify an independent slate of electors pledged to Eisenhower so Democrats can support him in November without voting Repub lican. A combination of these moves was already afoot in Mississippi among a group of states righters who will try to place Eisenhower oh the Democratic ticket, but other wise will offer him on an indepen dent Blate. WIDESPREAD DISSATIS FACTION Widespread dissatisfaction of Southern Democrats with the party platform led some political leaders to believe that without such al ternate slates sections of the re gion will be Republican in Novem ber for the first time in 24 years. Maybank told United Press tht fight over whether Eisenhower or Democratic presidential nominees Adlai E. Stevenson is the official candidate of South Carolina will come at foe state Democratic con vention next week. The' convention met in July, then Bus *ny stand an foe brm' or candidates and will reconvene, unbound by any pledge, on Aug. 6. South Carolina, with Virginia and Louisiana, refused to take the “loyalty oath” pledging support to foe party nominee and platform. SEES IKE GAINING Talmadge, although Georgia was prepared, said he “could not sup port with enthusiasm’’ either the Democratic candidates or platform. He predicted Eisenhower would “get a great many votes in Georgia if t Voters,could vote for him under */ Democratic label” But Maybank, joined by Sen, OUn. D. Johnson (D-8C) was ex pected ,to, put party loyalty above foe dispute over civil rights in any contest at foe South Carolina coh ventian. ■ . In a telegram to Democratic na tional headquarters, Maybank urg ed that Stevenson make his open ing, campaign speech in South Car olina at Charleston where, he said, “certain elements have always op posed foe Democratic party.” The telegram added: “Our state convention meets next week. I do not know what foe con vention may agree to do. I intend to continue to be a Democrat.” Even in states committed by the loyalty pledges promising use of all “honorable” means to support the party ticket some delegates strongly indicated they will either sit on their hands or campaign actively against the election of Stevenson and Sea.
