Judge White said the jury was | guided by “‘considerations outside ; the evidence and principles of the law.” He said the jury assessed damages that might have occurred “notwithstanding action by the de- | fendant which simply prolonged the condition.” RCAF In Florida TAMPA (# — A group of cadets | of the Royal Canadian Air Force , was due here today to look over; MacDill Air Force Base, the big | bomber headquarters.

Lehman said in a statement he , expects Sicvenson and Sen. Jon | cratic vice presi to “accept the full letter and! : spirit” of the Democratic platform civil rights plank. | That plank cal'ed for federal legislation for equal oppo-tunity in ff employment, security of person and for equal participation in po!- itical life. Another section pledged efforts to modify the Senate debate rule under which filibusters have ; prevented action on civil rights legislation. Lehman said this latter “singles out the real villain, which is the filibuster.” He said the party had made an “historic advance” in taking this stand. However, Stevenson said earlier he thinks debate limitations might be a threat to democracy and he has not made up his mind about any proposed rule change. Stevenson has said he favors state action on the FEPC issue, with the government stepping in only when ‘the states. fail to act. Gov. James F, Byrnes of South Carolina called that a sugar-coated view unacceptable to the South. Gov. White didn’t elaborate on what Stevenson told him, but said he gave the nominee assurance he will have strong support in Mis- sissippi. White opposes FEPC in any form. Republicans who think the GOP nominee has a chance of breaking into the usually solid South ap- Parently believe that if Eisenhower came out for a compulsory FEPC he would be washing away his chances there, If the conflicting pressures on the two candidates continue, both soon may feel it necessary to lay down new definitions of their po- sitions, An electronic “bug” that crawls across a navigational chart is in Process of development to guide planes in flight, LL a minimum floor space of 2000 | sq. ft., for any building, and one Sparkmen of Alabama, the Demo- |F ‘dential nominee, | | parking berth for each 200 sq. ft., of floor space. d.
