CHICAGO, July 16——
Sen. Herbert Lehman of New
York Wednesday pledged a
floor fight at the Democratic
national convention if that’s
what it takes to get a strong
civil rights plank in his
party’s platform.
Lehman called a news confer-
ence just before Democratic plat-'
form drafters began public hear-
ings in the Conrad Hilton hotel.
He said he will insist on a civil
rights plank "at least as strong
as the one in the 1948 party plat-
form."
That plank was adopted from

Virus Is Clearing Up
WASHINGTON, July 16-
(A)— President Truman en-
tered the hospital for a
checkup Wednesday. It waa
he first time Mr. Truman
has been hospitalized since he
became the nation’s chief ex-
ecutive more than seven years
ago.
Mr. Truman, who is 68, was af-
flicted with a milk virus infection
on Sunday and had canceled all his
appointments this week. That in-
fection had all but cleared up
Wednesday, the president's press
secretary, Joseph Short, told news-
men.
Doctor Gives Order
Short said Mr. Truman was or-
dered to the hospital by his per-
sonal physician and that he will
stay there for two or three days.
The president was put to bed in
the presidential suite of the army's
Walter Reed hospital. The suite
was completed five years ago, but
Mr. Truman had not used it be-
fore.
There was no indication that he
w as suffering anything other than a
mild indisposition. He kept at work
in his residential quarters at the
White House earlier this week
studying the raft of legislation con-,
gress pushed through at the wind-'
up of its session.
Ne Re-election Bid Seen
The president has enjoyed excel-
lent health ever since he became
president on April 12, 1945, but he
has said repeatedly that he will
run aaw ’ Truman
a.m. until noon.
In addition cadet class 52-E grad-
uation ceremonies will be held
then.
