Secretly Preparing

Whether one believes we are
heading Tor something or other in
the way OF universal military Serv-
ice, substance is furnished for the
idea by d story that was published
recently by the Providence. K. l.,
Sunday Journal 1t said that plans
to inaugurate Selective training had
progressed so far that the Govern
ment Printing Office in Washington
has lust completed secret printing
of 100000 detailed draft record
blanks.
The order for the blanks was given
by the War Department in antlcl-
patton of congressional action at the
present session authorizing sclcctlNe
service. the paper said, adding that
4 bill has been drafted and is ready
tor introduction whenever word
comes from the White House. 1t
VAS said the War Department de-
MED knowledge that the blanks had
been ordered. although it had been
learned unurficially that moblIlza-
ton authorities long have urged such
d preparatory measure, but funds for
the JOB were lacking. Now, it Will
be remembered that under the new
defense program large sums have
been made available "Wlthout
strings, and the War Department
has taken advantage Of this avail
able pin money" to get what 1t
wanted.
And what layout it is. The
blanks are said to be 24-pagc book
lets. four inches wide and seven
inches long, containing space Tor
detailed information about nearly
every phase Of Il mans physique,
character and training, as well us
room for progressive record OF his
military service
Some thousands Of dollars I'M
doubtedly were required to pay for
the job, even in the. Government
Printing Office. And the money
wasn't spent for nothing. So, whcth-
CT we have selcctivc CONSUMPTION or
no. the smart boys in Washington
do not intend to be caught mapping.

But does any one suppose that Will

II will probably be much like that

course OF politics is eloquent tcStI-

in the statement. 1t is regrettable
that such is the fact.

Capital Gossip
BY HENRY AVERlLL.

Raleigh, July 19.-Therc is grow
ing impression in wide awake poll
teal circles that Durham'S many
times Representative Victor S
Bryant must be given serious con-
Sideration in any analysis Of the race
for speaker of the 1871 North Caro-
lima House.
Despite the fact that the Bull City
legislator cannot turn hand in mis-
own behalf, there is much sentiment
for his selection, according to reports
coming over the Raleigh grapevine
radio-reports which unquestOnably
contain much more than a mere
modicum Of accuracy.
According to these thought
waves" the race is likely to wind up
as strictly case Of OduS Null,
Cleveland county patriarch and poll
tical power, and Bryant, who lost two
years ago to Libby Ward by a scant
tWo-vOte margin.
The general prediction has been
that George UzZell of Rowan would
be the IMAM to beat" in next jan
uary's caucus; but the wise guys
claim that there is unyielding oppo-
sitiOn of the most potent sort to the
urbane Salisbury laWmaker. UZzcll
is marked as an active advocate Of
Labor with a capital IL. Extremely
powerful interests, therefore, will be
lined up in opposition to him, it is
said.

In any event, if basis exists for al

Representative Dies. a homo in
his native state Of Texas, has re-
,cutly been taking testimony Of Il
character that concerns his in\ c$ti-
eating body. In revealing the ma
tlre of the allegations relating To
conditions in Hollywood, no names
were divulged Perhaps II would be
an injustice somewhere along tho
line to identify persons named to Mr..
Dies unless charges preferred were
OF definite and decisive sort.
This, however, is not the first time
rumorS have floatcd about concern
ing alleged radical activities of some
of those rated as stars Of the screen.
Several years ago unsavory talk
went the rounds involving a few So
called topflight performers in the

the Pacific states communist organi-
zation under threat Of anti-Scmetic
or NaZi moves against them. 1t was
said, too. that some were habitucS

sion and study of this foreign ism.
And this in the only nation in the
world where the success they have
attained could be possible: and is
the only country where there is
freedom OF opportunity in this and
other fields Of individual achieve
ment.
The country will hope that the
Dies committee will be specific as
to charges made and that names will
be revealed if justified, or else give
clean bill of health to the movie
colony. Those who have had no
part in such nefariouS activities
should have every vestige of suspi-
cion removed from them, and those
who are actually involved. if any
really are, should likewise be di-
vulged, so that theatre-goers them
selves, if the government does not,
may administer the sort of treat
ment they so richly deserve. For
our own part, we would promise to
refrain from support of men and
women in Hollywood or elsewhere
who love another country more than
they do this America of ours. And
we have a bunch we would not be
alone in such resolves.

FDR Accepts

President hOOSGNeltS speech Oh DC
ceptaace OF me Democratic nominal
ton, delivered by him 10 the Chicago
convention oy telephone from the
White House alter midnight early
today, had no element OF surprise
in it. He had many listeners through
out the country who sat II out OF
sheer curiosity and not to learn as
a matter OF fact what he would do.
The President was in a fighting
mood. though between the lines
there seemed to be the thought that
the convention had done what he
expected and wanted it to do. He
was frank to hint that he thought the
voters in November should not place
inexperienced men in command at
Washington. the assumption being,
of course. that ne regards himself
as the only man n the country who
could quality under that condition
and ne therefore should DE re-elect-
ed
Mr.. Roosevelt made bold again to
hurl into the teeth of the dictatorS
the charges he uttered at CharlotteS-
willie last month and on other occa-
sions, thus assuming front more
becoming belligerent than a neu-
trail. He also gave the impression
that. war Or no war, the So-called
social gains" would be preserved,
even though Frenchmen have at
tributed their downfall in part to
policies there that have close
parallels in New Deal programs in
the United States.
The President seemed to be labor
ing determinedly 10 sell the conven-
ton and the country on the diff
Guilty ne had in making up his mind
to display patriotism enough TO re-
spond to the call of his party and
his country. He couldn't conSclentl-
ously summon business and other
leaders from their jobs and then
refuse to summon himself, he said,
so he had reluctantly come to the
conclusion that it was his duty to lay
himself on the altar OF public service.
By contrast TO the demonstration
for the President on Tuesday night,
at which his precedent-breaking am
billions were swallowed hook, line
and sinller and without a murmur,
the convention baked vigorously at
allowing the President to name his
running mate as well as himself.
There was d considerable element
that didn't want Henry Wallace,
whom Mr.. Roosevelt had picked, and
they were not baShful in standing up
for their man, Speaker Bankhead
of Alabama.
The President took stand again,
as he did in the Charlottesville
speech, by taking unto himself, in
fere lily at least, a sort Of author
ity III rests only with Congress.
At Charlottesville ne made bold to
pledge Americas resources ana as
sistance, so far as possible, to Eng
land and France. Wednesday night
he virtually told the country uni
versal military service is to be I'M
posed upon it.
But the ticket is complete and the
third term issue, for the first time
in its history. is before the country.
Indications now are that another
precedent will go out the window in
November.
