Barkley Will
 Keynote Demo. l95O Campaign

WASHINGTON lP)-Vice Pres ident Barkley starts this week in a 1850 campaign Warm-up enliv- ened by Republican talk of the Truman program as leading to a "poorhouse state"
 New ly-wed Barkley, accom- panied by his bride, is billed as the principal speaker and chief attraction at a Democratic fund raising dinner in New York City Friday night.
 Barkley is an old hand at key noting party drives. He may come up with a Democratic answer to the charges of Guy c. GabrielSon, the Republican national chairman, that the Truman administration is spending the country into the kind of doubtful security given poor house inmates.
 Gabrielson teed off on the Oppo- sitiOn in a national broadcast last night, declaring:
 "If we continue under the pres ent administration we are headed for a pOorhOuse state and, while the inmates of a pOorhOUse may have a certain amount of so-called security, their lot is not particu- larly enviabIe."
 It was a departure by the COP leader from the welfare state phrase with which his party mem bers have been describing what President Truman calls his Fair Deal" program.
 GabrielsOn laid down some broad charges against the Truman administration, among them that it is fostering unemployment. During the week ending Novem- Der 12, he quoted labor depart ment figures, 1,746,2OO claims for unemployment compensation were pending. He said this compared with 865.721 such claims in the Weeking ending Nov. 13, l948, when a Republican Congress was in charge on Capitol Hill.
