Demos. Refuse To
Oust South’s Civil
Rights Advocate
By JACK BELL
WASHINGTON, UP) — The Dem
ocratic National Committee Sat
urday overwhelmingly rejected
an effort -by Southern segrega
tionist members to oust Louisi
ana’s member of the group.
Without debate, the national
committee adopted a report of its
credentials group which had voted
7-2 Friday to retain Camille F.
Gravel Jr. as its Louisiana mem
ber.
Gravel’s ouster had been voted
bv bis state committee, which had
proposed that Jett Talbott suc
cei him.
The rejection of this move by
the national committee appeared
to be the first in a series of steps
aimed at crushing Southern oppo
sition to the civil rights policies i
advocated by National Chairman
Paul M. Butler and the Democra
tic Advisory Council.
The issue is Gravel’s stand that
segregation is morally wrong and
his praise of a civil rights bill
passed by Congress last year.
The national committee put off
any final decision on where it
will hold its 1960 convention. It
has bids from Los Angeles, San
Francisco, New York, Atlantic
City. Miami Beach and Chicago.

Metal Prospectors
SPOKANE, UP — Persons with
a yen to go mineral exploring got
a promise of limited financial sup
port from the Interior Department
Friday.
Speaking at the 64th annual
convention of the Northwest Min
ing Association, Assistant Secre
tary Royce A. Hardy said regula
tions for a new program of finan
cial assistance for private explora
tion will be issued within a couple
of weeks.
Mineral exploration has become
an.acute problem, Hardy said, be
cause new sources of mineral
wealth haven’t kept up with per
formance in other fields of indus
trial activity.
Chances appear good, he said,
that new mineral deposits could
be uncovered, but methods of
probing for them must be devel
oped.
The government official said
conservative estimates indicate
that 90 per cent of the minerals
dug in this country came from a
1,00-mile area. Present geologic
evidence points to an abundance
of untapped minerals, he said.
