JOSH LEE GETS GREAT BACKING
 FOR STICKING
Shouts for New Deal, Sup ports New Deal and Is
 Given Big Acclaim

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The de- feat of Senator Gore in the Okla homa Democratic primary may give pause to some of those Congress men who were bit uncertain when they left Washington just how hard they should blow the horn for the New Deal
 Several told friends as they left here that they planned to stick to home" issues as much as possible in their district campaigns and to sail around under the New Deal banner without waving it over much.
 Senator Cores conservative course brought him several times athwart New Deal policies and at times he raised his high pitched Oklahoma twang in biting criticism.
 And who should top the field in the race for the nomination but Representative Josh Lee, one of the most ardent indorsers of New Deal performances? He was well ahead of the field, although failing to get a majority. In the runoff pri- mary against Governor Marland he won the nomination.
 Republicans are asserting that they have the New Deal on the run. The Oklahoma outcome indi- cated to Democratic leaders here that at least in the Oklahoma pri- maries the New Deal was not on

DESTROYER LEARY
IS ORDERED HERE
Naval Vessel to Be Used
to Drill Local
Reservists.

For . period Of six weeks, begin
ming January 8, the 1st Battalion,
United States Naval Reserves here,
will have . destroyer available for
drill purposes. The Leary Is sched-
uled to dock at the Washington Navy
Yard on that date, and each drill
night her facilities will be made
available to the various divisions.
Because of the fact that the vessel
will be here during the period that
extremely cold weather might be ex-
pected, Reservists do not expect to
get as much use out of her as they
would If she had been sent here in
the Fall months or during the Spring.
When the weather is extremely cold
the deck force cannot use the facili-
ties to the fullest extent, although
the engine and fire room forces will
be able to receive much practical in
struction.
The particular duty assigned to the
Leary Is to visit various Reserve or
ganizations on the Chesapeake Bay
and It's tributaries for the purpose Of
providing actual drill facilities, to
supplement the regular armory work
During the Summer months she Is
engaged with other destroyers of the
Atlantic Training Squadron in trans
porting Naval Reservists on their an
nual cruises.
The local divisions are striving to
have the Navy Department send q ship
here permanently for training pur-
poses. It was pointed out that while
the ship Is here. they do not receive
any actual cruising training, but the
work is confined principally to emer-
gency drills and using the fire con-
troll apparatus and guns for training
The Reservists say they are in need of
vessel which they can take down
the Potomac River on week ends to
give both the officers and men actual
training in ship operation under reg
ular cruising conditions.
They have . small launch here now,
but its accommodations for each trip
are 20 limited that each man only
gets about one opportunity during the
Spring. Summer and Fall to make one
voyage.
It was said the Navy now has avail
able several small vessels which were
turned over to it by the United States
Coast Guard, and that they were oS-
tanned for the purpose Of assigning
them to the Reserve organizations for
training purposes. Some Of them sl-
ready have been assigned to such units
in other parts Of the country, and it
was indicated that the local Reservists
feel that, being in the National Capt.
tai and at the seat Of Government, the
department should assign one of them
here, where it would be on constant
exhibition to visitors to the WASH
ington Navy Yard. where 1t would be
berthed.

RESERVES MAY
GET REAR ADMIRAL
Proposal Made to Provide Post
for Naval Contin.
rnn$

There Is a possibility the Naval Re-
serve may have q rear admiral all its
own. 1t Is proposed, when amend
ments are sought for the present
Naval Reserve act, that recommended
tions be made that one Of them provide
for the commissioning Of a rear ad-
miral in the Naval Reserve.
At the present time there Is q COM
modore in the Reserve. but this Is a
rank that has been obsolete In the
regular establishment for many
years. Formerly commodores were
the junior rear admirals-that Is. q
rank between that Of captain and rear
admiral. The proposed provision for
rear admiral, 1t is said, would meet
the desire of officers Of the Reserve
who have sought this rank for mum.
Der of years. but up to this time have
not received much support from the
Navy Department.
While the proposed law would au.
thorize an appointment in time Of
peace, 1t would permit the Secretary
of the Navy to provide any ranks and
grades he saw fit in time Of war. In
other words, II the law Is passed BY
Congress the Secretary Of the Navy
could make promotions to rear ad-
miral from the Reserve ranks In time
Of war in any numbers he saw At to
carry out the war plans.
The Naval Reserve Oficers' Associ.
alton also has been seeking q separate
bureau in the Navy Department to
handle its affairs, with Naval Re.
serve oficer at its head. fashioned
somewhat after the National Guard
Bureau Of the War Department, which
Is headed by Q militia oficer who ;s
appointed from the States every four
years. But they have met with strong
opposition in this field, because the
Navy Department takes the view that
to have . dual organization such as Ii
proposed by the Naval Reserve officers
would seriously affect the Navy's war
plans, adding that such an organiza.
ton would have to be merged with the
regular establishment in time Of war,
at Q time when all energies would be
needed to plan for the national de.
Tense. -
