Young Radicals
Attempting To
Avoid The issue
CHICAGO (IP) Leading
Southern Democrats today
denounced the so-called “lo
yalty pledge” as an “insult”
that could wreck the party
n Dixie but conservative
Northern leaders moved
swiftly to smooth over the
ssue.
All factions of the party seemed
to be seeking harmony so Demo
rats could unite for next year’s
-ongresslonal campaigns.
Even the spokesmen for the
‘Young Turks,” who forced the
'oyalty pledge through the 1952
■>ational convention, said they in
tended to try to avoid the issue
in the two-day conference that
opened today..
The chief aim of party leaders
apparently wa s to presept a united
front against the Republicans at
tonight’s SIOO-a-plate fund-raising
dinner where addresses of top Dem
ocrats will be televised.
The loyalty pledge was brought
up first at a meeting of Democrat
ic state chairmen but a move to go
on record against the oath was
squelched by the meettnet mod
erator. New York State Chairman
Richard Belch, who said it was
“not the proper forum” to consid
er it.
Georgians Democratic chairman, -
Jim Peters, was the first person to
bring the subject of the loyalty
oath into official discussion at the
party’s two-day conference which
opened here today. “
IOWAN AGREES
An equally-important Democrat,
lowa State Chairman Jake More,

for Peters’, views and said the
Mrtv should “(too talking about
