Democrats Os Two / States In Meeting Both Expected To Support Stevenson WASHINGTON-(UP) — Adlal E. Stevenson was expected today to retain hin status as the unofficial favorite 'of New Jersey and Mississippi Democrats for the Democratic presidential nominationDemocrats in both states were holding party meetings at which potential candidates for the nomination were being considered. No firm decisions on which one to support would be made because delegations from both states will ■go to the party's national conven- ! tion unpledged. But in each case 'Stevenson appeared to have the inside track. New Jersey convention delegates, who were chosen in an April . 17 primary, convened at Asbury ' Park to hear personal blds for I their 36 convention votes from . New York Gov. Averell Harriman and Sen. Estes Kefauver. Stevenson did not personally appear at the meeting but was represented by his campaign manager, James D, Finnegan. The New Jersey delegation is headed by Gov. Robert B. Meyner. who leans toward Stevenson. In Mississippi, Democrats at a state meeting were choosing national convention Relegates and trying to agree on a common' course of action if the convention adopts a civil rights platform plank unacceptable to them. Forces led by Gov. James P.' Coleman unofficially favor Stevenson for the nomination and want to fight out the civil rights issue with in the party. Coleman’s opponentsFwan to leave plenty of leeway for walking out of the convention in the svenfcoLgn. unfavorable civil rights development. Other political news: ' 1. Harriman charged on a television program Sunday that President Eisenhower has "surrendered much of his powers” to his subordinates and “left the decisions" to others during his administration. 2. Rep. John W. McCormack (DMass) was named Sunday as chairman of the platform committee for the Democratic national convention. McUormack. Democratic leader In the house, held the same post at tfie 1952 convention. He was approved, for the Job by Stevenson, Harriman and Kefguver: 3. Democratic chairmen-from sev-’ en southern states Saturday disclaimed any intention of bolting the < party. But they warned at a meet- , ing in Atlanta ■ that a national convention split on civil rights would cause the Democrats to lose the election. Father, Son Drown During Fishing Trip GARY (UP)—A father took his 10-year-old son as a fishing trip Saturday and both of j them drowned. Dewey Graham, 37, and Jits son Celoes. were fishing in Duck Creek near Hobart when the boy slipped and fell from the bank into the stream.
