THERE IS ONE “CINCH” PREDICTION that can be made concerning future events in the Republican party. That is, that the victorious Ralph Gates faction of the party will be out-to do all possible to unseat the seventh district G. O. P. chair- | man, Homer E. Capehart, when the time comes to elect new district !

| chairmen two years hence. Two years, of course, is a long time, but the Gates’ crowd can be counted upon not to forget the opposition Mr. Capehart gave them in the state convention last summer and in the house speakership fight yesterday.

Both times, the seventh district chairman headed the forces trying to put James M. Knapp of Hagerstown across, last summer for the secretary of state nomination and yesterday for reelection as speaker of the house of representatives.

And ‘both times, the Gates forces beat him decisively, winning the secretary of state nomination for their candidate, Rue Alexander, and the house speakership for Hobart Creighton. As one of Mr. Gates’ closest friends put it yesterday after the speakership election: “It looks like it is either Ralph Gates or Homer Capehart, and we intend to do something about it.” Mr. Capehart, who has proven himself a hard man to keep down, can be counted upon, of course, to put up a good fight. Round three, coming up. ” » #”

for Mr, Knapp in both party scraps. Joseph J. Daniels, 11th district chairman who has been working hand-and-glove with the Gates faction, was reported out of the city yesterday. ”

Names Court Deputy THOMAS C. WILLIAMS, clerkelect of the supreme and appellate courts, has appointed Russell Robbins, 36-year-old Wayne county clerk, as his chief deputy, The position pays $3600 a year. Mr. Robbins, whose term as county clerk expires on Dec. 31, will take office with Mr. Williams on Jan. 1. The appointment is a little unusual in that it» was Mr. Robbins who was Mr, Williams’ chief opponent for the clerk’s nomination in the state convention last summer. Mr, Robbins, however, did not allow his name to go before the convention because party chieftains decided that they | needed Mr. Williams, a union | barber, on their state ticket.

County Delegates Switch

ONE OF THE most interesting, and possibly significant, things concerning yesterday's speakership election was the support the Marion county house delegation gave Mr. Knapp.

Last summer when James IL. Bradford was county chairman, the greatest part of the Marion ' county delegation to the state convention supported the Gates’ faction candidate.

' But yesterday, under the direction of County Chairman Henry E. Ostrom, most of the county’s house delegation went for Mr. Knapp. Lloyd Claycombe, the man ‘the local delegation had hoped "to win the speakership for, seconded Mr. Knapp’s nomina- | tion, (All but two of the 10 mem- | bers present reportedly voted for ! Mr. Knapp). * Friends of Mr. Ostrom say, Hows ever, that in supporting Knapp he was merely paying off local obligations and not fighting the Gates leadership of the party. Yet yesterday‘s action may well | turn out to be only the first “trouble” Marion county is to give Mr. Gates. Mr. Capehart is very close to the Tyndall organization, having directed the raising of campaign funds, and Arch N. Bobbitt, ousted as state chairman by: Mr. Gates, is slated for the post of city attorney in the Tyndall administration, Mr. Bobbitt also worked

in this group would be the some 300 students who are receiving training daily in the crack ROTC unit there. Another group would be the 27 students taking the pre-flight course of aeronautical training. Industry and the military services are going to get some good technicians from the school. They are the pupils working harder than ever in classes in machine shop, electrical department, radio school and wood shop.

Build 700 Model Planes

In the wood shop, pupils have been busy turning out model planes for the armed services and they already have completed 700 scale models. Right now they're awaiting another order to build more.

The home economics department has added a course in nutrition and home nursing and girls taking this afe preparing themselves for community service. Knitting for the Red Cross, students in the home economics department have turned out 70 navy sweaters, four dozen dresses and blankets, kit bags, knee blankets and women’s bed jackets. A course that is popular this year is safety and first aid, which is compulsory for all students. Junior and senior boys thought they had completed their physical

changed from a two year to a four year course. This also is compulsory. Form Victory Corps

Under the direction of Robert Flum, a senior, the Victory’ corps, the national organization sponsored by the OCD and U. S. office of education to prepare pupils for the war effort, is being organized now. He expects about 600 pupils will enroll this week, after which they will be classified in various branches. The five branches are land, sea, air, community and production services. Those in thé land branch will be guided in their studies to prepare them for army service. Those in

preparation for the navy, those in air service for the air corps. Pupils in production service will be directed toward essential civilian occupations while girls will constitute most of these in the community service branch.

Keep Alumni Posted

The pupils are busy there—probably busier than most of those who graduated in the past. And the present pupils are letting alumni who now are in military service know what they are doing. | To the some 350 alumni whose names and addresses they have, the |pupils there are sending about a 15-page mimeographed letter whenever they have enough news to fill It's just about time now for another issue to go out all over the world.

Gift Wrapping Banned in '43

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25 (U.P). —Customary holiday wrappings and gift boxes will brighten this Christmas season but after Jan. 1 all special packaging will be halted by the Office of Price Administra tion. This ban and curtailment or elimination of a number of other peace-time retail store services with no reduction in price ceilings were ordered by the OPA as its first move under the recently ane nounced retailers’ economy for victory plan. Deliveries are to be drastically reduced. Retail stores were told to stop deliveries of “reasonably carryable” packages, e t such emergency purchases as prescrip= tions and sickroom supplies. The order further allows curtailment of the frequency of delivery of packages which the customer cane not reasonably carry.
