Sullivan Continues Improvement From Auto Crash Injuries DERBY, Conn. (UP)-Confllct- ing statements by police and a mechanic raised doubts today that television star Ed Sullivan's life was saved by a safety belt in a head-on auto crash. ulUyan, 55, and three other persons were injured, one critically, early Monday, when his car collided, with another auto on a ndr- row, winding, country road, near Seymour, Conn.

Patrolmen Edward Chatfield and Gustave Gunderson who Investigated the crash; said Sullivan was not wearing a seat belt. But a mechanic who declined to be quoted by name after examining the famed TV master of ceremonies' wrecked auto said. "It was the safety belt that saved his life and probably those of the others." Henry Mucci, operator of the Lincoln Mercury agency where Sullivan's smashed 1956 Lincoln hardtop was taken, said "The auto had been equipped with so I think it had a safety belt." Sullivan continued to show improvement today at Griffin Memorial Hospital here and will appear on. his regular Sunday night program. Hospital authorities said Sullivan would be released by Thursday barring unforeseen circumstances.

Stevenson's Qualifications May RuleOutKefauverasNo.2Man By RAYMOND LAHR DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION HEADQUARTERS, Chicago (UP) E. Stevenson has laid down qualifications which apparently would disqualify Sen. Estes Kefauver for second place on the Democratic ticket, Stevenson campaign advisers said today. They said that Stevenson, of course, would like to be nominated for the presidency with a running mate who would strengthen the national ticket as Kefauver might do with some segments of voters. But Stevenson is said to believe it is of great importance that a vice presidential nominee be an effective agent for a White House legislative program.

The board decided that Cmdr. Richard B. Varley was negligent taking over command of his ship without first checking her course and speed.

and The 1956 plank will plunk for integration no more separate treatment, equal or not. The language of the 1956. plank may be a bit The Supreme Court and the decision on integration in the schools probably will not be mentioned by name. But the effect will be the same. The court's decision scrapped the separate but equal theory which the 1952 platform accepted.

Powerful forces in this convention are determined that the Democratic party shall acknowledge that major shift in the balance of the whole race relations controversy. Humphrey Raised Issue To understand' what is happening here it is necessary to go back to the 1948 Democratic National Convention. Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey of Minnesota brought the race relations controversy to the convention floor that year.

His plank was adopted over the angry protest of Southern Democrats. Out of that developed the so-called Dixiecrat bolt which broke the solid South away from a Democratic presidential nominee as it never had been broken before. Humphrey's plank was regarded as wild-eyed radicalism by Southerners and some others. It sought federal legislation to' secure to everyone: 1. Right of equal opportunity for fear will hit them, in a'new one.

Battle would still like the 1952 plank toned down a bit. He would accept it as is, however, and so would. the South as a whole. The opposition would come from the North and East. But that apparently is not to be.

Since the 1952 plank' was hewn, the Supreme Court has knocked out separate but equal theory of of. the 'races. The North East -want that action acknowledged. The. South would be comparatively happy this year to go back to the hated planks of either 1948 or 1952 on civil rights.

This convention is not likely to do that. Lydia Bible Class Entertained at Lake Mrs. E. B. Henley Jr.

Benfer, Jack Broaddus, Harry Ford, J. Turner fauver would have limited influence in that direction. Adlai Way Ahead StevensOn heads into the Democratic National Convention, which opens here next Monday, far in front in his race for the presidential nomination. His campaign organization jacked its estimate of his first ballot vote today to 630, only short of the majority he needs to win the nomination for a repeat campaign against President Elsenhower. At this reading, it appears that only an unexpected trap in drafting the civil rights plank of the Democratic platform could' upset Stevenson.

Gov. Averell Harri'man, who is expected to fight for a tougher plank than Stevenson's supporters, is the 1952 nominee's only major challenger now. The 108-member platform com- mittee, tentatively scheduled to report to the convention Aug. 15, started a week of public hearings Monday. Former Secretary of Agriculture Claude R.

recommended provide farm cent of through price support loans at 90 per cent and other measures. Witnesses at today's session were prepared to suggest ways of attacking the Eisenhower administration's foreign policy. Deadlock Chances Lessened Kefauver substantially lessened the chances of a convention deadlock, which would destroy Stevenson's candidacy, by pulling out of the presidential nomination race in favor of Stevenson a week ago. The fact that his campaign headquarters continues to function here has led many Democrats to believe that he is seeking second place on the ticket, although. both he and Stevenson have denied that there: was any deal.

F. Joseph Donohue, who managed the Kefauver campaign before the withdrawal, sounded the drum Monday for a Stevenson 1 Kefauver ticket. He told a news conference that the senator alone could Tennessee "help the Democratic slate beat President However, Stevenson's reported qualifications for a running mate have generated a belief among Democrats that Sens. John F. Kennedy (Mass.) and Hubert H.

Humphrey (Minn, are the chief contenders. Either would find it easier than Kefauver to work in harness with the Democratic congressional leadership. employment (a practices act.) fair employment Mrs. Buddy Dallas; Mr. Hicks and and Mrs.

Right of equal treatment in the service and defense of the United States. 1948 Plank Goes Further Four Southern states withheld their full electoral votes from President Truman in protest against those proposals. Four years later, in 1952, Southern spokesmen on the resolutions com mittee proposed to re-adopt that 1948 plank as a defense against a broader proposition which they saw coming and feared. That maneuver failed, and 1952 Democratic plank went considerably further.

It called for legislation to perfect existing civil rights statutes and for vigorous federal ac tion behalf of civil rights. The 1952 platform also urged a change in the Senate rules to prevent filibusters against civil rights bills The South didn't like the 1952 Democratic plank, and the Eisen- Girl Questioned In Death of Boy MILWAUKEE 12-year- old girl was questioned by police and juvenile authorities today about the fatal shotgun shooting of Kenneth Dukes, 11, Milwaukee. Dukes died at a hospital here Monday afternoon, a few hours after the girl shot him because he was teasing her, police said. The girl was expected to face juvenile court trial on a police charge of homicide by reckless concept with a firearm. The girl told police Dukes was throwing a rock at a house in which he, another girl and a boy were playing.

She said she pointed the shotgun out of a window and told him to stop. Dukes persisted, she told police, and walked up a flight of stairs to the house. The girl came out holding the shotgun and told Dukes she would give him to the count of five to leave. "That old gun won't shoot anyway," 'she quoted Dukes as saying. She told police she counted to five and pulled the trigger, but added she did not know the gun, which belonged to her father, was loaded.
