THUMBNAIL SKETCH:
Outlines Main Planks
Of Democrat Platform
By OVID A. MARTIN
Associated Press Writer
LOS ANGELES - Here is a
thumbnail sketch of the major
planks of the platform adopted
Tuesday night by the Democratic
national convention:
Foreign Policy - Restore the
nation's military, political, eco-
nomic and moral strength so that
it might more effectively lead the
free world in its search for a
stable peace and an expanding
world economy.
National Defense - Recast the
nation's military capacity in order
to provide forces and a diversity
of weapons sufficient to deter
limited or general aggressions.
World Trade - Press for re-
duction on foreign barriers to
United States products.
Economic Growth
National Economic Growth -
Pledges policies to speed rate of
economic growth. These would in-
clude an end of what was called
the tight money policy of the Re-
publicans, control of inflation, aid
to economically depressed areas,
broadening of minimum wage
benefits and planning for indus-
trial automation.
Agriculture - Raise price sup-
ports, use government payments,
food stamp program and expanded
program of foreign distribution
to boost farm prices and income.
Husing-Expand federal aid to
encourage building of two million
homes a year.
Medical Care
Medical Care-Expand the so-
cial security tax system to provide
funds for extending medical care
to the aged.
Education - Extend federal fl-
nancial aid for school construe-
tion and employment of teachers.
Natural Resources-Develop and
conserve natural resources for this
and future generations. The plank
says the present administration is
permitting them to waste or go to
selfish interests.
Urban Problems
Urban Problems - Establish a
federal department to aid cities
with problems of slum clearance,
urban renewal, water supply,
transportation, recreation, health
and other problems.
Civil Rights-Pledge full use of
powers of the federal government
to end racial discrimination in
voting, education, housing, em-
ployment, transportation and,
other fields.
Minimum Wage - Pledges to
raise minimum wage from $1 an
hour rate to $1.25 and to extend
coverage to several million addi-
tional workers,
Fiscal Policy - Pledges a bal-
anced budget except in periods of
emergency.or recession.
Taxes-Raise taxes if necessary
to meet unfolding demands at
home and abroad. But holds that
an expanding economy plus better
tax collection, policies should pro-
vide sufficient funds to meet most
government needs.
Prof. Hugh McLean of the Uni-
versity of Chicago will speak on
"Zoshchenko and the Soviet Con-
science at 4:10 p.m. today in
Aud. A, Angell Hall.
The lecture is sponsored by the
University Committee on the Pro-
gram in Russian Studies.
SISTER SHOT DOWN-This is an RB47 reconnaissance bomber similar to the one missing since
July 1, recently revealed shot down by the Russians over Soviet territory. The White House has
denied the plane ever flew over Soviet territorial waters or air space.
