Regarded aa the strongest ever adopted by a political party in the United States, the plank was approved over the strong objec¬ tions of 10 southern states. However, unlike in 1948 when the southern states walked out in protest of a plank not nearly so strong as this one, the Dixie states this year have pledged to go along. The most unu 3 uai feature of this plank is an implied endorsement of tiie controversial student sit down demonstrations that have swept tiie South in protest- to jim crow counters and other forma of racial discrimination. .Text of the plank follows: “The new Democratic adminis¬ tration wiil help create a sense of national purpose and higher standards of public behavior. “We shall also seek to create an affirmative new atmosphere in which to dael with racial divisions and inequalities which threaten both tire • integrity - of our demo¬ cratic faith and the proposition on which our nation.was founded — that ail men are created equal. “It js our. faitt) JP human dignity that distinguishes our open free society from the closed totalitaiian sooiety of thp Communist . s . “The Constitution, of the United States rejects the motion that the rights of man means tip* lights of sopie men only.
