Harriman Too

WASHINGTON (INS)—Two Southern Democratic Senators said flatly Friday that New York's Gov. Averell W. Harriman is "not going to be the Democratic Presidential nominee."
One of them, Sen. Sam Ervin, N. C., accused Harriman of "hoping to wreck the Democratic convention so he can try to pick up the nomination from the wreckage."
The other, Sen. Harry F. Byrd, Va., declared: "The Southern people will not stand for Harriman."
Ervin and Byrd spoke out against Harriman as he prepared to invade the South for the first time since becoming an active candidate for the Democratic nomination. The Governor makes a speech today in Asheville, N. C.
Yesterday, he was back on Capitol Hill conferring briefly with Sen. Walter F. George, Ga., and with other Democrats.
Byrd, pressing for clarification of Harriman's stand on enforcement of the Supreme Court decision outlawing segregation in public schools, said in an interview:
"The Southern people will not stand for Harriman. Aside from his views on school segregation, he is the foremost welfare state man in the country. He favors all give-away programs and represents 100 per cent the old new deal philosophy."
