today. ‘
Murray said his men would re- |

Demo Veep Choice Has Kept Faith

By RICHARD KLEINER
NEA Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON—John J. Spark-
Sparkman has a skeleton in his
campaign closet. He's the Dem
ocratic nominee for vice president,
but once upon an election he came
out for the man who is now head
in’ up the Republican ticket.
t happened in 1948, when, for
the first time, the civil rights is
sue threatened to upset Demo
cratie equilibrium. Before the "48
convention, Senator Sparkman
came out for Dwight Eisenhower
for the Democratic presidential
nomination.
Afterwards, when Harry Tru
man had been formally nominated,
Sparkman joined the Dixiecral
movement and supported the
States’ Rights candidacy of J.
Strom Thurmond.
Except for the question of civil
rights—eand allied issues, such &s
the filibuster problem—Sparkman
has diligently and faithfully walk
ed the New Deal, Fair Deal road
in both the House and Senate. But,
as 2 pative Alabaman, he has

Argentine President Juan D, Pe
ron, died tonight.
The cause was believed to be
cancer but this was not officially
acknowledged in her long illness.
Her afi‘m officially listed as
30 and this had been used by hew
political enemies as an argument
against her running for viee-pres
ident in last year's elections. The
opposition said under Argemtine
law she was foo young, &t 29, to
run for that office.
The end was foreshadowed to
day by three official annoumce
ments. One said that she bad lest
consciousness and was in grave
condition.
The third indicated clearly that
death was near for the weman
who had been a key figure in Ar
