FDR-Truman Platform PHILADELPHIA, July12 (UP)| —The preliminary draft of the Democratic platform was reported today to call for outright repeal of the Taft-Hartly labor law which was enacted over President. Truman's veto. A highly-placed Democratic source said he understood that the proposed platform asked re-| peal of the law even though the, Democrats in Congress were split! when the bill was passéd last year. | The labor plank was contained in a tentative draft of a ‘“Roose-| velt-Truman” platform completed: by a seven-man subcommittee at 4:30 a. m. (Indianapolis time) today. The report on the Taft-Hartley repealer clause came from a, _ party ‘source who earlier had ex-| pressed doubt that such action ) would be taken because of the a congressional split. A majority of House Democrats voted to override Mr. Truman's veto and voted to sustain it by the narrow margin of 22 to 20.

PHILADELPHIA, July 12 (UP) — The Eisenhower - for - President Headquarters reopened for business today under a new billing: Pepper for President. That would be Sen. Claude Pepper of Florida. He is challenging his old Senate colleague] —Harry 8. Truman of Missouri —for the Democratic presidential nomination.

‘Can’t See That Man Truman’ or Wallace
PHILADELPHIA. July 12 (UP)—Could be, the Democratic convention's youngest delegate said today, that he will have to cast his first presidential vote for Gov. Thomas E. Dewey. Truman Veran (Red) Williams Jr., of Douglas, Ga., who reached his state’s legal voting age of 18 last fall, was looking beyond this convention to the fall elections. “I can’t see that man Truman,” he said. “And I am definitely against Henry Wallace. As yet T haven't made up my mind what to do.” . Cites Civil Rights Plan “I think I represent the modern Southern youth,” he added. “We know that President Truman’s civil rights program won't work because it's trying to do by legislation what can only be done by education.” He was appointed as a Georgia delegate by the state executive committee to give the young voters a voice in the convention. Mr. Willams is a medium
“It's a family name,” Mr. Williams said. “My grandfather and my father were named after a relative—but not after the Missouri Trumans.” Mr. Williams is a junior at Notre Dame University where he is preparing for law school. He joined the Catholic .Church six months ago.
