Allied war communiques declar i that Germany's big push through he low countries was being slowed own by the stiffening resistance. British Tommies, thrown into the igging Belgian line, were said by a :eadquarters communique to have uccessfully held back serious Ger tian attacks" in hard fighting. Waves of allied planes were said to have broken up mechanized forces massed by the Germans in a drive to capture Brussels and turn the lank of French fortified lines. The British headquarters com munique declared that the British ;ir force with the British expedi tionary force has destroyed at least !24 German planes while 23 have been downed by anti-aircraft fire.

Convention Fights, If Any, Will Be Over Personalities Rather Than Over Principles (Continued From Page One) New Deal. It can be said without any shadow of doubt that Governor Hoey can be named a delegate at large by ac clamation and will, if he wants the lonor, be made chairman of the Tai feel delegation. Even the most rabic Mew Dealer who will have any con trition influence is agreed to that There will likewise be no real op *>sition to State Chairman R.

Raleigh, May 16.—A fellowship at the University of Alabama has boon awarded by the U. S. Bureau of Mines to James Neal Smith, Jr., of New Bern, senior in the Department of Ceramic Engineering at State Col 'lege. Dr. A. F. Greaves-Walker, head of the department, announced today. Cobb. Beyond that, it looks like there might be a battle unless a com promise can be worked out at a meet ing which undoubtedly will be held some time this afternoon or tonight, with the most potent politicians par ticipating. Nobody seems to know whether Senators Josiah \V. Bailey and Rob ert R. Reynolds are going to try for! the delegation at large or not. If they do they will meet stubborn hostility in many quarters. The Roosevelters, who ought to be in control if the county meetings of last Saturday are any indication, are not in the least enthusiastic for either. Bailey has long been classed as a violent op ponent ol the New Deal; while Rey nolds has strayed completely off the reservation of late, particularly in the matter of foreign policy. He per haps would be more vigorously op posed than would Bailey, though the latter's apostacy to the New Deal is of longer standing. Even an agreement of leaders i would be no warranty that floor fights would not be made against the Senators if they try for the delega tion: bui it is likely that any agree ment made by the bigwigs could be made to stick even in the face of opposition. While the North Carolina Senators have been sent to the last two Dem ocratic national convention as dele- i gates at large, there is no long standing custom which decrees they shall go. During his long tenure of office, the late Senator F. M. Sim mons seldom went to the conven tions. nor did his long-time colleague Senator Overman. A strong possibility for one of the at-large places (there will be eight, with half a vote each if custom is fol lowed) is Dr. Ralph W. McDonald, j a prime mover in the North Caro lina for Roosevelt movement, lie may: be chosen by his district caucus, how over. which would leave an opening .or another on the group of eight. As for the delegates from the vari ous districts, there is no possibility of forecasting their identity. In cases .vhere the Congressman wants to go. it's practically certain he can get the honor. Beyond that, there's nothing much to be forecast. The delegation once elected, there will come up the matter of a national committeeman to be chosen by the members. Months ago Jhere was talk of the Governor standing for the place now held by Lon Folger, but he has stated plainly he is not a can didate and it looks a:; though Folger will be renamed without opposition. Asheville newspaperman Hiden Ramsey is to make the State Con vention keynote speech, which seems to make it certain there will be no resounding praises sung for Roose velt and the New Deal. On the other hand, Mr. Ramsey is a very practical man and is hardly likely to insult or ignore the achievements of the Democratic national administration. The permanent chairman won't take over until, as Secretary Libby Ward says, "everything is about over", so his choice is not a matter of great moment. Altogether it looks like a conven tion without great fireworks, though there is plenty of explosive mailer ready to go boom if the fuse should be lit and given just a bit of time to get going. Miss Armfield Is Sponsor for City Miss Betty Armfield has been de signated as Henderson sponsor as the city's representative in the parade and dance that will be held next Tuesday in Raleigh in connection with the observance of the 100th an niversary of the completion of the Raleigh & Gaston railroad, which was the nucleus of the modern Seaboard Air Line's trunk system. Miss Armfield was named from the Henderson high school, and Eugene Patterson was named as her marshal. A large number of Henderson peo ple have been invited to attend the celebration in Raleigh as represen tatives of the city, and will go to Ra leigh and back on the special train the Seaboard will run from near Weldon. northern terminus of the old rail line, to Raleigh. They will be guests of the railroad on the trip, a? will also the Henderson high school >and, which will be in the parade.
