WASHINGTON. (AP) The Democratic national committee today ousted States Rights members from Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina.
As expected, William M. Boyle, Jr., was selected national chairman, succeeding Senator J. Howard McGrath (D.-R.I.).
The committee, involved in a hot, long-standing family row over the desertion last year of States Righters, shouted its approval of the punishment handed down by a credentials committee.
The committee decided, also by voice vote, to retain Wright Morrow as Texas national committeeman.
The credentials committee proposed unseating him.
The national committee went along with only half of a South Carolina compromise.
It made sure in the process that the name of Gov. J. Strom Thurmond, the States Rights Presidential candidate, came off its membership rolls.
Senator Burnet Maybank was approved in his place. The compromise worked out in South Carolina had called for retention of Mrs. Anne A. Agnew as national committeewoman.
