BARLEY SPEAKER
FOR SCHOOLS HERE
New Senate Leader Address
ed Graduating Class
Some Years Ago

The hot fight over leadership of
the United States Senate, following
the death Of Senator Robinson last
week, and the victory by a narrow
margin of Senator Alben w. Barkley,
of Kentucky, recalled to some here
TODAY visit of Senator Barley to
Henderson as the principal speaker
at the high school commencement sew
eral years ago.
The now senator and majority
leader spoke in the old Riggan theatre
now the Vance, to an audience that
virtually filled every nook and cor
ner of the large auditorium. Those
who have any memory Of the event at
ALL recall, TOO, that it was rated one
of the finest addresses Henderson
citizens have listened to in probably A
couple of decades.
Barkley was not then a United
States senator from Kentucky. He
was a member of the House of Repre-
sontatives. The then living Congress
man Edward w Pou of this district,
had been engaged to make the ad-
dress, but he found at the last minute
an illness prevented him coming.
Barkley was close to the lar Heel
veteran and was prevailed on by Mr..
Pou to come to Henderson and
"pinch-hit" for him. No one here knew
anything a out the, Kentuckian then.
except casual references. to his mem
bership in the House, as seen in pub
lie prints at times. But Mr.. Pou sent
word along that the young congress
man had a future, and that he was
candidate for the United States Sen
ate from his home state and probably
would be elected.
Most people who heard Barley at
the time and who thrilled at his
oratory had forgotten both the man
and his message, but to some whose
memories turn back now and then
the incident was recalled in connec-
ton with the recent fight in the Sen
ate, and, whether agreeing with the
Barley principles or not, feel sena-
tors picked for their leader at least
a great orator.

LONDON, october 5.-Tons Of mod

destroyers churned the newest Medi-

death today for the mysterious sub
marine attacker Of his majesty's de-
stroyer Basilisk.
The mighty conclusive forces un-
leashed under the Mediterranean of
Cape San Antonio, Spain, seemed cer-
tain to have sealed the doom Of the
undersea raider and its crew If caught
within their area.
With Royal Air Force planes over
head, the destroyers plumbed the
depths with bombs weighing 180 to 300
pounds, catapulted or rolled from their
decks, capable OF explosion at any
depth through hydrostatic firing valves.
Each charge had q radius of destruc-
ton up to half q mile.
British circles were cautious to the
extreme about specializing on the iden-
tity Of the torpedoing marauder which
did not break water.
Reports Of new aerial reinforce
ments for the Spanish insurgents,
coupled with recent destructive air
raids on Barcelona and Valencia
aroused fear in some quarters, how
ever, that Italy was determined to wipe
out what she terms the "bolshevist" in
huence in Spain before retiring from
the Spanish military scene.

attacker had been ended last night
when the cruising warships steamed

bombing, But they returned to the
deadly job for while today, then
took their regular piracy patrol posi-

Diplomatic quarters, remembering
the tumult Of press hints and charges
against Italy on such an occasion q
little more than a month ago. feared
lest the explosive incident shake the
foundation Of newly attempted un-
