Chicago Aug 16 Gov Marvin Griffin of Georgia got a mixture of boos and rebel Dixie yells as he hit out at some Northern delegates to 4he-- Democratic National Convention Referring to last unsuccessful attempt to substitute a civil rights plank in the Democratic platform Griffin said: me remind you that not one of these Young Turks was able td carry his state for the Democratic nominee in November nor did carry his own state of Illinois is an even bet that those who last night would have crucified the people of the South will not be able to carry their states for the Democratic nominee in November Here and at several other spots in his speech there were boos and cheers But Griffin went right on unperturbed in a speech that was devoted chiefly to defending the stand on integration al- though he was nominating Rep James Davis of Georgia for president After Griffin had finished Chairman Sam Rayburn praised the but said everyone no matter what his views deserved a fair hearing trust

risen to their high office from the vice presidency through death in the White House STEP UNUSUAL Stevenson himself skid he was taking an unusual step But he said the American people had a obligation to consider with utmost care who would be their President if the elected President is prevented by a higher power from carrying out his Hie Democratic announcement that the vice presidential selection of his own party is wide open coincided with claims of top Republican leaders that Nixon already is a cinch for the Republican vice presidential nomination Both Eisenhower and Nixon however have made a point of saying the pick of the vice presidential nominee in their party is up to their convention The announcement about the vice presidential spot was the sole purpose of appearance before the Democratic convention tonight He said he would be back tomorrow night to deliver his acceptance speech after the vice presidential candidate is tapped A scramble for second spot on the ticket can be expected now among a half dozen or more men Stevenson scored a stunning but completely expected defeat against Gov Averell Harriman of New York in the presidential nominating derby With only 686- votes needed to win total ran up to 905V4 at the close of the only ballot Then the convention made it unanimous The former Illinois governor ran like a out front all the way and true to form He jumped

LAUNCHED The talks had barely begun when new foreign minister Dmitri Shepilov took the American-British-French sponsors of the conference to task with an attack on its membership timing and legality The husky black-suited Russian calmly denounced what he called the abnormal atmosphere of pressure built up as a prelude to the the talks He decried the concentrations of military power of Britain and France in the Mediterranean and their economic reprisals such as freezing of Egyptian assets in their hands Shepilov made a bid to broaden the conference to include 24 other nations including Red China But he agreed to waive procedural jections and expressed willingness to help achieve a peaceful solution MEETING SMOOTHLY The meetings of the day progressed swiftly and smoothly Dulles as the
