(CP Wirephoto) Democrats hammer out platform The Pope said he looks forward to meeting the Colombian poor.He is expected to talk with the country's peasants Friday morning, the day after he arrives in Bogota for the sixth trip outside Italy during his reign.It has been one year since the pontiff fell ill because of a prostate condition.He underwent surgery last Nov.8 for removal of an inflamed prostate and did not resume his normal activities until Dec.8.As recently as Easter he still looked tired, but in the last few weeks he has seemed fit and vigorous.In July, leftist newspapers hinted that the pontiff was still not well enough to endure the trip to Bogota.Lapai doctors denied the stories, saying his health was fine.HEART CHECKED Pope Paul, his aides and many journalists accompanying him on the three-day trip have undergone a special physical examination, with emphasis on the heart, because of Bogota\u2019s high altitude.As far as is known, however, the Pope has never had trouble with his heart.In Bogota, a special envoy of the Pope opened the congress Sunday with a plea for world social and economic justice.Giacomo Cardinal Lercaro told an open-air audience of nearly 100.000 persons that those who shoulder \u201ccivilian responsibilities\u201d must work toward \u201can equitable distribution of riches.\u201d WASHINGTON (CP-AP) -The divided Democrats began hearings today on the platform they will present to their nation al convention next week in Chicago.The HO platform d-afters have been urged to seek reconciliation in their plank but the split over Vietnam policy between the Humphrey and McCarthy factions seemed wider than ever.Proposals to include Communists in a future coalition government in South Vietnam deepened the conflict during the weekend.Vice-President Hubert Hum- phrey, who says he believes he will win the presidential nomination on the first ballot, balked on Communist participation in a South Vietnamese government, a key point among the seven proposed by Senator Eugene McCarthy to bring peace to the war-ravaged country.McCarthy insists that the National Liberation Front, political arm of the Viet Cong, be included in any coalition government.If this point isn\u2019t settled in the platform hearings\u2014and that seems unlikely\u2014it probably will result in a floor fight when the four-day convention starts next Monday.\u201cThe fundamental difference between myself and Senator McCarthy is on the imposition of a coalition government .I cannot agree with that,\u201d Humphrey said.McCarthy said there is no hope for compromise in peace efforts \u201cunless you have a willingness to include in a new government the forces that are fighting it.\u201d \u201cHe (Humphrey) is rejecting .the heart of the proposal I have been asking.1 don\u2019t see any evidence of compromise.\u201d McCarthy unwrapped his proposed peace plank Saturday.It called for an immediate halt to the bombing of North Vietnam, a curtailment of American operations in South Vietnam and the creation of a new coalition government in Saigon with \u201csubstantial participation\u2019\u2019 by the NLF.WOULD WITHDRAW If Saigon rejected such a coalition, McCarthy specified, U.S.military support would be withdrawn.Humphrey obviously was hunting for a compromise.He said Saturday he accepts most proposals of \u201cpeace Democrats\u201d including a qualified agreement to halt bombing But the vice-president said that a cessation of bombing should be in response to some restraint by Hanoi.And he declared he could not accept a plank which repudiated \u201cthe policies and sacrifices of the past.\u201d McCarthy backers claim they have more than enough supporters on the platform committee to bring a dissenting plank to the convention floor.More than 300 witnesses are scheduled for appearances before the committee, which meets in Washington and moves to Chicago Thursday.Eisenhower battles for life after attack WASHINGTON (CP) - Gen.Eisenhower stubbornly fought for his life today while doctors unsuccessfully tried with an electric machine and drugs to stop his already scarred heart from going into brief spasms.Doctors at Walter Reed Army Hospital said late Sunday night that the 77 year-old former president remained \u201ccritically ill.\u201d His heart muscles continued to go into brief rapid contractions despite use of an electric pacemaking machine and drugs, a medical bulletin issued by the hospital said.Eisenhower suffered his seventh heart attack Friday and was under constant medical supervision in a third-floor suite.His heart is connected to an electric pacer and cardiograph to control and measure his heartbeat, and his nose is connected to an oxygen machine.Doctors said he was not in pain and was resting comfortably.They said the eight spasms were brought quickly under control by use of the electric shock machine.Earlier they said the spasms presented a \u201cconstant and critical danger\u201d to Eisenhower.The spasms, which involve irregular twitching of the muscles in the heart\u2019s lower chamber, are known medically as ventricular fibrillation.DISEASE CITED The doctors said without elaborating that the heartbeat irregularity was caused by \u201cserious underlying disease of the heart.\u201d They apparently re- ferred to the effect of previous heart attacks in damaging Eisenhower\u2019s heart muscles.Although doctors at the hospital did not elaborate, other physicians said the use of electric treatment to shock the heart back into pace with the pulse-beat briefly cut off the supply of oxygen-carrying blood to the brain.Apparently taking note of this, earlier bulletins, including one issued Sunday morning, said he remained alert.Doctors said in response to questions his pulse respiration and \u201cother life signs\u201d remained table between spasms.At the general\u2019s side were his wife Mamie, his son John and three grandchildren: Barbara Anne, Susan Elaine and David.Although doctors did not give details of how the pacemaker was installed, the usual method entails inserting a thin tube with two tiny electrodes at its tip into a vein and gently sliding it through the body into the heart.Civil rights, a part of tonvention scene CHICAGO (Reuters) - A battle between civil rights supporters and white segregationists faces the Democratic
