state democrats WILL MEET TODAY Victor S. Bryant Expected To Be Elected Perma nent Chairman SALEIGH, N. C., May 21.—UP— Uorth Carolina democrats who can overcome war-restricted transpor tation obstacles will come here to morroW for the party’s biennial off.year convention. uck of interest in politics, gas jjoe rationing, tire restrictions and iher inconveniences brought about bv Adolf, Hirohito and Be „eto will probably reduce atten dance to one of the lowest figures in the convention history. State chairman Monroe Redden of Hendersonville, however, said he was expecting fair attendance, even from delegations in the west ern part of the state. Delegates will assemble at noon in Memorial auditorium to hear the keynote address by Major L. p. McLendon of Greensboro. And to act upon the recommendations of the committees on platform and resolutions. ’ Before the convention is called fo order, however, the delegates will have met in Congressional dis. trict caucuss to elect the demo cratic executive committees for the State senatorial, Judicial and Congressional districts and to name 12 members from each Con gressional district to tHe State Democratic executive committee. The pre-convention caucuses also will name one member each to the committee on credentials and ap peals. and on permanent organiza tion. rales and order of business. The latter committee, will nomin ate the permanent convention pres ident and secretary. Governor Broughton, who will at tend the meeting as a delegate from Wake county, has recom mended Victor S. Bryant of Dur ham as permanent president of the convention, and that sugges tion likely will prevail. If custom is followed, the secretary will be the State party secretary, Arch T. Allen of Raleigh. The districts also will name one vice-president and one assistant secretary each, along with one member to the committee on reso lutions and platforms. The district meetings will be held at 10 a. m. in various parts of the city and chairman Redden will gavell the delegates to order at noon.

L. DeLoach, local Navy recruiting officer. A total of 277 negro men have been set as a quota for the first group of enlistments over the en tire nation, it was pointed out. The quota of enlistments has been divided so that the sections of the nation with the largest negro population will contribute the greatest number.

Immediately upon enlist ment, the men will be sent to the Great Lakes Naval training sta tion for schooling. Negro enlistments in the mess branch of the service are still in demand, Mr. DeLoach said.

ATTEMPT ISMADE TO WRECK TRAIN Clear Case Of Sabotage, Say Police; Accident Narrowly Averted PENNSAUKEN, N. J., May 21.— W—Police Chief Thomas Thorpe revealed today that a “deliberate attempt" had been made to wreck a Pennsylvania railroad passenger train on the only line serving Fort Dix, N. J., from the west near here on Tuesdayv Thorpe said it was a clear case of sabotage. Federal Bureau of Investigation agents promptly entered the in quiry, he added. The chief said the train, carrying 124 passengers, struck several rail splice bars and two ties which had been placed on the tracks at Horn ing Grove near a bridge which spans a small creek. “Only a miracle” kept the train from plunging into the stream, Thorpe asserted. The three-car local carries com muters between Camden and Point Pleasant, N. J. Thorpe related that seven spliced bars, each weighing 65 pounds, had been found along the tracks. They had been fitted at set intervals on both sides of the bridge so as to catch traffic in either direction. While the train was not derailed, the force of the impact ripped Itfose the iron steps to the engine and one coach. Military authorities declined to comment on the case. -V Wax is not only produced by bees, but by birds, animals, and many plants. FOMT LL BUILD TANKS FOR U.S. Huge River Rouge Plant Converted Into War Factory DETROIT, May 21.— (JP) —Henry Ford has converted his Great River Rouge plant to the production of military tanks. The government, it was an nounced today, gave the order eight months ago and the plant is now in production. The tanks will be of a .thirty-ton type and will be powered by a variation of the familiar Ford V-8 motor. The tanks will be manufactured by the assembly-line methods which Ford pioneered. The number of tanks to be built daily in the huge plant is a closely guarded military secret, as is the number of persons to be employed. The Rouge plant already has turned out a stream of Pratt-Whit ney airplane motors for heavy bombers and also has made jeeps, trucks, tires and automobiles for army use. These activities will be continued. --V Manitsas And Wilson Presented Honor Cups At School Exercises Ann Manitsas and Me. B.
