in the racket was that once he got in he could find no way out, and he was in constant fear of his life. This fear, and his affection for Hines, he said, were responsible for most of his perjuries.
 Permitted To Leave Jail
 He admitted that after he agreed to testify against Hines, he was per- mitted to spend 80 or 90 afternoons outside jail, always accompanied by two detectives, The ostensible pur- pose was to take him to a doctor to get his tonsils treated and he said that "eight or ten" times he was permitted to stap at Miss Dare's apartment for a change of clothes and a meal.
 He was living with Miss Dare in Philadelphia when he was arrested. He said he had been separated from his wife for three years.
 'There were some occasions, were there not. when you were permit ted by these policemen to go to the apartment of this woman when ycu were alone with her in the same room" Stryker asked.

 Laying the cornerstone of the memorial, Kennedy said:
 "The memorial we are starting on the road to completion today is of a character particularly suited to the combined efforts of Scotland and the United States. It typifies common reverence for the principles we still believe to be of prime importance in our individual and national lives, and its construction will constitute worthy exemplification of sharing of historic ideals"
 Samuel Seabury was the United States first bishop, consecrated in Scotland in 1784. He was regarded as the 'rescuer," and sometimes founder, of the Episcopal church overseas.
 Part of the money for the improve ments of the Aberdeen Cathedral, in which the memorial is located, was raised in the United States. The memorial will be a new sanctuary and side chapel at Aberdeen Cathe- dral. The sanctuary ceiling will be adorned with the arms of the 48 states of the United States.
 Bishop Seabury was the great grandfather of Samuel Seabury of New York, whose investigation of municipal corruption there caused Mayor James J. Walker to resign.

Ruby Laffoon. Chandler took the
Laffoon organization to the clean
er's in the 1885 governors race,
and they're out to skin the young
upstart alive.
Onward And Upward
Old time political wind gaueers
says it's neck-and-neck race.
The published newspaper polls
give Barley a slight edge. So do
the betting odds published as
"guesses" in the Lexington (Ky.)
Herald Leader as late as July ~.
Even though the President told
Kentuckians recently that he
wanted Barley back In the Sem
ate as the New Deal leader next
year, the New Deal is not a
clear-cut issue in Kentucky. True,
the President risks certain
amount of prestige by supporting
Barkley. But on the other hand
Chandler has supported most of
the Roosevelt program except
spending policies.
Then why the clash?
It's simply a case Of Happy
Chandler running for a higher Of
flee while he thinks the running
is good. A governor cannot sue
coed himself in Kentucky. It's ira
ditional there that a governors
political organization flies apart
when he leaves the state capitol.
Happy Chandler is only 40
years old. He says his record as
governor entities him to a Senate
seat now. He figures he must run
for that seat before his term ex-
pires in 1899 or he probably won't
have another chance. The only
seat available Is Barkley,s ana
Barley wants it himself.
So it's just a case of state ma
chine against federal machine,
with two strong candidates in the
field.

Washington-The political cry

out the glass ball hunting for the
answer to the Kentucky senate
race between Alben Barley and
Happy Chandler.
So busy have the experts been
with personalities and the devious
ways of politicians that they have
hardly touched the real question,
which is:
What happens when an irresis-
tible force meets an immovable
body? or, more specifically in
Kentucky August 6.
What will happen when a we'll
oiled state political machine and
well-oiled federal patronage ma
chine let fly at each other hell
bent for election?
That's the simple issue in Ken

Pennsylvania a few months ago.

The Two Machines

All the credible reports from
the Blue Grass country agree that
Governor Happy Chandler has
built since 1888 state political
machine every bit as efficient as
was the late Huey Longs in
Louisiana a few year ago. True,
Happy has assumed no dictatorial
pastures, nor has he espoused the
strong-arm methods of Huey. But
it is charged that he let out a
prodigious number of state en-
ployees when he occupied the
governors chair, and replaced
them with loyal Chandler follow
erS.
On the other hand, since 1896 a
federal patronage machine has
been gaining momentum behind
Senator Alben w. Barley, Pre-
sident Roosevelt's No. l New
Dealer on Capital Hill. That ma
chine includes such political
strength for the New Deal as may
exist on the work relief rolls in
Kentucky.
In addition to the federal ma
chinery, Senator Barley COM
mands the support of a Louisville
group of old-line political leaders,
and the famous former governor,

in his fathers church, Waldo finds
he has the gift of oratory. Chuck

them to leave their car near Eagle
River.
Mr.. Jacobs, with Marshal William

and G. c. Deal, head of the Palmer
creamery, were halted in their
drive to Anchorage when one tire
went flat. The key to the ignition
of the car was broken when at
tempts were made to use it for I'M
locking the spare tire
Locks on the tire were then
broken. When they were ready to
go it was necessary to break the
ignition lock to start the engine.
Then it was found that the steer
ing wheel was still locked and the
car could not be used.
A passing motorist picked up the
men and took them to town. They
returned to Palmer by bus.
