CAROLINA FRIDAY, JUNE 30, 1944 (Bight Pages) NUMIIER at DEWEY NOMINATED BRIGKER TO BE VICE PRESIDENT Convention Draws Rapidly To End As Delegates Quickly Approve Nation al Ticket; Dewey Flies to Chicago to Accept Nomi nation Chicago Stadium, June 28. ? Thomas E. Dewey, New York's handsome 42-year-old Oovernor, flew to Chicago tonight to accept personally the 1944 Republican nomination, won on a first ballot at this convention which also un animously named Ohio's Clover- j nor John W. Brlcker for Vice-j President, and shortly afterwal-d the convention adjourned a day earlier than expected. Governor Dewey, named the party's standard bearer in the first wartime Presidential elec tion since the Civil War, left Al bany at 3:29 p. m. EWT in a special 21-passenger plane which arrived at Municipal Airport ex actly five hours later. He was ac companied by Mrs Dewey, secre taries, news and radio men and photographers. I Gov. and Mrs. Dwight Green of Illinois met the Dewey party at the airport, and, behind motor cycle escort, sped with them, first to convention headquarters and later to the Chicago Stadium where Dewey addressed the 1,057 delegates. < First-Ballot Nominations Thus, Dewey followed a prece dent established by President Roosevelt in 1932. Mr. Roosevelt, nominated in this same stadium, flew to the conventton to make his speech of acceptance and went on to win the election ? the first Democratic President in 12 years. Both Dewey and Brlcker were nominated on the first ballot at a morning session today. Except for one vote from the Wisconsin delegation, Dewey's nomination would have been un animous. That one vote was cast for Gen. Douglas MacArthur. The official final tally was Dewey 1, 056, MacArthur 1. As for Dewey, his nomination had been a foregone conclusion. What little opposition .here was melted away during last night and in the stadium today as the delegates, perspiring and fretting In near 100-degree temperature, voted to get it over and wait for Dewey's personal appearance to night. Short Session The nominating session today was one of the shortest in the history of Republican conven tions. The order of business ? the nominating speeches, demonstra tions and roll calls ? took less than three hours. Permanent Chairman Joseph W. Martin, Jr., of Massachusetts convened the session at il:49 a. m., EWT. Dewey was officially declared nominated at 2:03 p. m. and Bricker at 2:44 p. m. Dewey's and Bricker's names were the only one3 placed in nomination. Bricker, who had been a candidate for the top place on the ticket, withdrew when Dewey said he wanted him as his running mate, and backers of Lt. Cmdr. Harold E. Stassen, for the Eake of party unity, did not put his name in nomination. The scrap over the vice presi dency, which arose when Gov. Earl Warren of California refus ed to be a candidate, also petered . out during the night. Qov. Dwight Griswold of Nebraska had been mentioned as a candidate, but he withdrew when It became known Bricker was acceptable* to Dewey. ST.

ALLIES AD VANCE AT CAEN Nazis Thrown Into Turmoil And Confusion Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force, Thursday, June 29. ? British tanks and in fantry backed by Canadian gun ners caught the prize inland port of Caen in a steel nutcracker last night, reaching to within four miles southwest of the city and throwing at least three German divisions Into turmoil in proba bly the greatest armored battle ever fought In Western Europe. North and northwest of Caen the British pressed down at dis tances of two to three miles from Caen in fierce, fluid combat be tween Epron and Herouville and along the Orne River canal, bu? it was the southwestern outflank ing move that brought the great est conflict and threw the Nazis into the deadliest peril. Tommies Advance Roger D. Greene, Associated' Press correspondent with the! British forces, said in a frontline! dispatch that nine separate Ger-| man counter-attacks had been beaten off without any gain for the enemy, while the British tanks and Tommies pressed ahead, crossing the Odon River line at several places. Crashing through the woods, tank confronted tank at distances as little as 30 yards, he said, and in three days of the British of fensive more than 60 German ! tanks have been knocked out, making a total of more than 160 since the Allies invaded Norman dy June 6. British tanks overran German long-range gun positions so swift .y that the enemy could not bring , his cannor to bear, and had either i 10 surrender or be mowed down. "It is a big operation, very suc cessful, and very difficult," said i a British staff ofticer at field 'headquarters. The American forces took over Cherbourg, one of Prance's larg est and most _ accessible harbors | on Sunday. Scouts Win Prizes At Catmp Crabtree The toliowing members of Louisburg Boy Scouts of Troop ? 20 have returned from one week iof camping at Camp Crabtree: I I Larry Lewis, Nick Perry, Garland i Mustain, Edgar Owens, Leslie Tharrington, Jr., Grady Harris, i Jr., and Clifford Joyner. Eagle 1 Scout John Perry is to remain at [the camp as a counselor and in istructor in Map Reading and ; Compass. Although the boys had strict rules and regulations to live un jder; they thoroughly enjoyed the 'trip. They were a little bit dis appointed in not being aflowed to eat sweets of all kind or to drink Pepsi-Cola during the day. Many ; hours of Scout's work had to be accomplished each day, which work was supervised by Scout Officials out of the Raleigh of fice and the district offices. The Scouts learned a great deal in Scouting ? knowledge that will be of great benefit to them in later days. The parents of these boys will be glad to know that Louisburg Troop won both of the first prizes that were given to the Troop that made the highest score during the week. They were judged according to their manners, con duct, appearance, cleanliness and in demonstrating what they knew .In Scouting. Larry Lewis, act ing as co-leader of Louisburg boys, received special commen dation from the can^p director. Larry stated that the reason the director said something good about him was due to the fact that while serving on K. P. duty he rendered special service and favors to the official. The boys are now looking for ward to ? their annual camping trip at Jackson Pond where they can swim and eat for the full 24 hours each day.

The pall bearers were Dick Yarborough, Hill Yarborough,} Will Collie, W. B. Barrow, Julius; Joyner, of Franklinton, W. W. | Neal, J. A. Munford, G. B. Eger-j ton.

The State Department announced tonight that American Ambas sador Norman Arnwmr has been recalled from Buenos Aires "for consultation," in a move hitting sharply at the q^litar ist government of Argentina. The United States and all but three other American republics have refused to recognize the regime of General Bdeln^ro Farrell since it established It self by revolution four months ago. However, Armour stayed on in Buenos Aires, presum aby in the hope that Karrell would take moves towards bringing his country into line with the general policy of hemispheric defense. Armour is expected to leave Buenos Aires tomorrow or the next day. Hia recall indicates a stiffening of the American at titnde toward Farrcll's govern ment. Further 'emphasis is pro vided by the fact that Mrs. Ar mour will follow the ambaaaa- ' dor borne. While Armpur's departure is expected to come aa a heavy blow to Argentina, there has been speculation here that still further ex pr easterns of the Am erican republics' disapproval Of Argentina's government npy tie Imminent. i BOND SALES REACH $130,000.00 Excluding the large purchases made by busi ness firms, Franklin County's purchases in the Fifth War Loan Drive have reached approximately $123,000.00.
