July 26.—-Tho annual con-1 vention of North Carolina'*; Young Democratic Clubs, often little more than a vehicle for promoting some j "young" Democrat for a good soft job,' will be of prime political import this year, if even half the reports reaching your Raleigh reporter are worthy of belief. It seems that the "Old Guard", who are present among the young as well as the mor? mature party lead ers. and the "Liberals" are due to engage in something approaching a battle to the death for control of the YDC organization. The reports have it that North Carolina's stampede to Roosevelt for rennmination actually started at the Young Democrats convention in Charlotte last year, with Dr. Ralph McDonald sitting at one end of ;ni "open" wire from the Hotel Char lotle to Han v Hopkins and Tommy Corcoran in Washington. This time, operatives say. the Gor don Gray (which is to say the con servative; wing is determined to drive out the upstart liberals from all important posts and return the YDC machine to the service of the old-line regulars. Chief objects of the Gray "purge' will be anybody who had anything to do with McDonald in his Roose velt maneuvers, both preliminary tr and during the Chicago convention The individual who wi'." get the mos1 thorough "going over", if the Gray have their way will be Kidd Brewer perhaps best known to Tar Heels a; Appalachian grid coach, who is now deemed by many the real ruler ol the Tar Heel Young Democrats (Continued on Page Three) HavanaConference Agreement Likely I.

Also any American vessel to be used for child rescue work must have its safe conduct granted by all nations at war. Washington. July !!(!.—(AP)—As serting that the United States had a deep tlesiie to do everything possible to help remove children from Eng land, President Roosevelt raid today the administration eventually might ask lor reasonable assurances that refugee children could obtain sale passage to America. The first step, he told a press con ference. involves providing perhaps 10.1)00 children in Britain with pass ports. The next step, he said, would be to find out what the British govern ment would be able 1o do about send ing the children to the Tlviited Slates or perhaps Canada, in British vessels. A little later on. the President con tinued. the stage might be reached when the United State- would ask for reasonable assurance that il American vessels went over to eva cuate them there would be no tor pedoings.
