of $500 State employees there are now
nearer $4,000. They charge, too, that
State employees have been assessed" 2
per cent Of their salaries and If they
do not come across, they are out"
They say further that Happy" and
his agents have inundated the old
people receiving pensions. For the
first time, pension checks were not
mailed out to the aged. Instead,
'Happy's'' employees delivered them in
person. The Barkleyites insist the
pensioners were told that if they did
not support Gov. Chandler, their pen
sions would be Topped of.
One story that Senator Barkley
tells is that a young man on the
State pay roll was laid of because he
wore a Barkley button, and" says
the Senator. "he was only 10 years
old and couldn't vote. But he was
the supporter Of his widowed mother. "
Much Evidence Uncovered.
These charges Of improper use of
money and influence, made against
both sides, have been inquired into
by investigators sent to the State by
the Senate Campaign Expenditures
Committee, headed by Senator Morris
Sheppard Of Texas. It Is rumored
here that some kind Of statement
regarding the Kentucky primary CAM

supporters.
Beckham Denounces New Deal.
Gov. Chandler has done what he
could to make it appear to the voters
he has no contest with President
Roosevelt, even though Mr.. Roosevelt
came to Kentucky and spoke for
Senator Barkley. Gov. Chandler says
the President also said 4 good word
for him as Governor, and even that
he would make a good Senator. For

As . campaigner, Happy" is q
whirlwind. He has youth and punch,
a dazzling smile and unlimited good
nature. He talks for IS minutes and
shakes hands for an hour and a half.
He has campaigned the State time
and again.
Senator Barkley, despite the heat,
has hurried about the State making
short speeches each dey.
The Republicans would dearly love
to 60 into the Democratic primary
and vote for Chandler. The State
laws. however, make 1t impossible for
them to change their registration as
Republicans until attsr . general
election.

has taken $25.000000 more in taxes
from the people in two years than
any other Governor has done.
Gov. Chandler knocked out the
State sales tax and substituted some
other taxes, but he insists that the
larger return is because he made
them pay their taxes when they are
due, and didn't let them off."
Barkley Indorsed by C. !. O.
Senator Barkley has had the in
dorsement Of the g. I. o. and the
American Federation of Labor. How
ever, there are = number Of local
labor leaders who have come forward
to indorse Happy" Chandler, so the
labor end of 1t is not undivided.
Barkley supporters say that their
candidate will win by from $4,000 to
100, ,000-which would be wide mar
gin, as Kentucky Democratic contests
go, even if half million votes were
polled. The Chandler managers in
sist that Happy" will win by from
$4,000 to 10000 votes. The truth of
the matter is that either side will be
overjoyed If 1t can win by 5000 or
even less. The Barkley group, how
ever, is particularly anxious to roll up
big lead, believing it would make
better impression the country over
for the Roosevelt leadership.
Gov. Chandler has been unwilling
to sit quietly while the President, Sen
ator Barkley and Senator Logan have

scandal-and that goes for both sides.
But whether the committee will see
fit to blow the lid off remains to be
seen. It is not believed that the
committee, if it makes a statement
this week, will undertake to blast
one group, and leave the other un-
scathed. If public hearings by the
State Senate Committee are to be held,
they will come after the election next
Saturday -...
Getting down to practical politics" !"
it is reported that the Chandler group
will have more actual cash to use on
election day that will the Barkley
outfit. And that, too, may have
something to do with the final results.
Money, one way or another, is play
ing big part in this campaign. Sem
ator Barkleys proudest boast, as he
goes about the State, is that he helped
to get 100000, 900 out Of the Federal
Treasury for Kentucky, since the New
Deal began its spending program. I
heard some of his opponents, speak
ing on the radio, charge that Senator
Barkley had not gotten Kentuckys
full share Of this flood Of Federal
dollars; that he has fallen down on
the job, and Kentucky did not fare
as well as Pennsylvania and some OF
the Northern States.
Gov Chandler is taking lot Of
credit because, he says, he balanced
the State budget, and wiped out a
lot Of Indebtedness. TO that, Senator
Barley replied that Gov. Chandler

of the Federal service and elsewhere
through modernized competitive ex-
aminations. The commission will also
recommend including within the COM
petitive classified service various posi-
tions in the hospitals of the Public
Health Service, Navy Department,
Veterans Administration, War De-
partment and Indian Service which
have been excluded in the past be-
cause the undesirable nature of the
work and low pay made it difficult to
secure personnel for such positions
through competition. Under present
conditions it is practicable to supply
such personnel in most cases. There
will, of course, be some positions for
which exceptions will have to be
granted due to the inaccessibility of
some Of the Government stations, but
such exceptions should be relatively
rare. 1t also will be the policy Of the
commission to recommend exceptions
of seasonal, intermittent, or OCCASION

compensation amounts to $40 per
annum or less.

have produced q letter from Senator
Logan saying he would like to be
appointed to the Supreme Court
to I'LL a vacancy created by the re-
tirement OF Justice George Suther-
land. The Governor showed me q
photostatic copy Of one of these let
ters, said to have been written In
Senator Logan's own hand.
Logan Denounces Story.
Senator Logan has denounced the
effort to make it appear he was seek
ing to go on the bench as damned
lie" No one appears to be much
fused over this controversy, into
which some of the Chandler sup
porters have sought to draw Post
master General James A. Farley.
Mr.. Farley, according to one version,
was anxious to have something done

between Chandler and Barkley.
Louisville Is locked up as Senator
Barkley's greatest stronghold. Here
he has the organization with him,

Permit Delay

Miss Katharine Jennings, chairman
of the Culpeper Publicity Committee
for William E. Dodd. jr., candidate
for the Democratic primary nomina-
ton in the eighth Virginia district,
said last night town officials had at
first denied and then granted a per-
nit for the use of a sound truck for
a speech by Mr.. Dodd.
Miss Jennings said the permit was
refused by the Culpeper Police Com
mittee, although s25 for the fee ac-
companied the application. About two
hours after the truck had left the
town, she said, the committee re-
versed itself and offered to grant
the permit. The truck was not used,
she said, and there was no rally

1T presents fundamental issue for

known. I believe he also used it in
his own district.

Says Secretary Is Guilty of
Vicious Attack on
University Head.
Ey the Associated Press.

RICHMOND, Va, July 30.-The fire
set of under Virginia's hot eighth
district Democratic primary campaign
by Secretary Ickes' entrance into the
fray flared higher today with a
charge that the cabinet officer was
guilty of "a vicious uncalled-f at
tack upon the president Of a great
university"
Charles r. Fenwick Of Arlington,
president Of the University Of Virginia
Alumni Association. replied in those
terms to Mr.. Ickes' comment on q
letter in which President John LLOYD
Newcomb of the university expressed
appreciation for Representative How
ard Smiths "effectiveness" In certain
requests for p w. A. funds.
The university, at Charlottesville, is
in the district represented by Mr..
Smith, who is opposed by William E.
Dodd. jr., son of the former AM
bassador to Germany. Mr.. Dodd is
campaigning on 100 per cent for
Roosevelt" platform In the primary,
which comes to a vote next Tuesday.
Mr.. Fenwick's statement referred
to Mr.. Ickes' assertions that the New
comb letter represented Mr.. Smiths
effort Ito muscle in on the popularity
OF the university" and that the letter
showed an apparent desire by DR..
Newcomb to give Smith credit to
which he wasn't entitled"
Mr.. Fenwick said that through an
anonymous bulletin giving the i'm

association" and a letter from a stu
dent styling himself the president of
