I I Naval Reserve Commissions | Now Available Daily Dispatch Bureau. ! In the Sir Waiter Hotel. ! Raleigh, July 13.—Sixteen youngj Tar Heels will sail from New York, next Tuesday aboard the battleship Wyoming fur a thirty-day training cruise which will determine whether they are fitted for further naval edu cation and commissions in the naval reserve as Ensign-Deck Officer of j the Volunteer Reserve for General Service. These sixteen are the first of many who will have the chance to get com- i missions in the naval reserve. Lieute nant John 13. Yarnall, reserve pro curement officer lor North Carolina, said today. He pointed out that there i.s prac- ; tically a wide-open field for tho.-.e wishing to take the training which qualifies for the ensign commission in the reserve.

July 13.—Newest and most circumstantial rumors regard ing North Carolina's delegation to the Chicago convention deal with a sus pected plan to oust Miss Beatrice Cobb, national committeewoman. and alleged usurp;.tion by State Chair man Gregg Cnerry of power proper ly belonging to National Committee-J man Lon Folger. By way ol' caution, your reporter hastens t<> put in at this point that neither report is more than mod erately well substantiated even by the logic of the situation. Wherefore all and sundry are advised not to wager the family plate that either is anything more than an effort to put a bit of pep into an otherwise drab, dreary political expedition. The gory details of rumor No. 1 deaiing with Miss Cobb have it that former Governor Csmoron Morrison hatch.t;i 3 conspiracy to toii the Morganton lady out of her present post on the National Committee, with a view to replacing her with none other than Mrs. Cameron Morrison, i This report has come to your report er's ears from several sources, none of which can be regarded as com pletely above suspicion of spooling, j The argument is that Morrison has 1 nursed something of a grudge against Miss Cobb ever since his defeat by Bob Reynolds in 1932. The present National Committeewoman was the Reynolds' choice for the place, it is pointed out. Then. too. it is whispered that Morrison is earnestly seeking to get back in the political limelight and has hit upon making Mrs. Cam a public figure, doubtless figuring that as a means whereby lie can induce her to put some of her money into Morrisonian forays into the field of polities. Of late she is said to have icld a rather tight grip on the purse (Continued on Page Eight.)

Part of that "foundation" already is being laid in the daily attacks and the starvation blockade of Britain, but tiiese apparently are mere pre liminaries. To inquires whether the present bombings by Nazi fliers arc not suf ficient evidence that the direct of fensive against Britain already has begun, well informed men reply: "That is mere routine for our avia- I tors, part of the day's work. Wait sold see when the real thing begins. ( This is child's play compared with it." So certain is Hitler of victory over ] Britain in case her statesmen de- j ride to continue the fight that hun- j drcds of thousands of troops who had i been stationed in the west have been transferred eastward during the past week. Moreover their presence in eastern iind southeastern Germany as well is in occupied Poland is notification to the world that Germany, with the conflict in the west practically ended j r>!' about to end. intends to exert her influence on all C|Ui>stions affecting co-tern and southeastern Kiu'op's while at the same time f'in'il pre- i prarations are completed for a blitz- ; kreig of hitherto unknown ferocity.
