LOUISVILLE, Ky., June
6.—A grand political racket
in which the taxpayer is the victim is going on in Kentucky
preparatory to the Barkley-Chandler Senatorial primary |
Aug. 6.
The tangible prize is a $10,000-a-year seat in the U. S. Senate for the next six vears. Beyond that, the contest has been selected as the principal primary test between President Roosevelt's New Deal and those forces—Republican and conservative Democrat—which are arrayed against it. The result is an amazing?

‘Adjournment Hinges
WASHINGTON, June 6 (U. P.). —Congressional = leaders advised President Roosevelt today that adjournment could be expected Saturday if differences over wage-hour legislation yield to compromise. Leaders went to the White House for what was probably the final legislative conference of a session marked by spectacular struggle between conservatives and New Dealers for control of the Democratic party. The leaders told Mr. Roosevelt that progress was being made on the wage-hour bill. Senator Thomas (D. Utah), chairman of Senate conferees, submitted a new compromise to Senate and House conferees today. His compromise would provide a three-year period of flexible wage standards above a flat minimum of 25 cents an hour. After three years a flat 40-cent minimum would prevail.

Bank Robber Gives Up When Wife Learns He Is Fugitive.
AUL JAMES LYNCH, convicted Indiana bank robber, was ready today to resume prison life by his own volition after nearly two years of illegal freedom in Indianapolis. During that time—sinee he escaped from the Indiana State Prison,” Sept. 7, 1936, after having served five years and seven months of a 10-year sentence—he has been married under an alias and says he has bought and furnished a home at 429 W. McCarty St. Mrs. Katherine Cobb, whom he married, had several children by a former husband. She told State Police that Lynch, married to her under the name of Donald Edwards, made it possible for her to reunite her family. The children had been distributed to relatives because she had been unable to take care of them, she said.
= # LJ YNCH went to Martinsville over Decoration Day, State Police said, and was picked up by local police there on suspicion that he stole some gasoline. They fingerprinted him, but, unable to support the charge with evidence, released him. When fingerprint classifications came back from Washington, State Police learned that Lynch was wanted for prison escape and last week raided his McCarty St. home. They said he was not there, and when they talked to Mrs. Edwards they said she denied knowledge of his record.

BUND TO JOIN ~ HAGUE PARADE
80,000 “Anti-Communists’ To March Tonight, Mayor Estimates.
| (Photo, Bottom of Page; Editorial, | Page 10.)
| JERSEY CITY, N. J. June 6 (U. | P.).—~Mayor Frank Hague will an- | swer those who charge him with | restraining free speech tonight by ‘leading a parade of “anti-Commu- | nist” demonstrators in a festive dis- | play of this city’s stand against { “Red invaders.” | Mayor Hague estimated would be 80.000 in the parade. The demonstration was termed by Hague supporters as the “conclusive answer” to liberals who have at-
tempted vainly in recent weeks to |
make public speeches here denouncing Mr. Hague as a dictator. Fritz Kuhn, national leader of the German-American Bund, said 2000 | of his uniformed, pro-Nazi “storm- | troopers” would march in the pa- | rade. He said his organization had | been invited to participate by a | Jersey City official whom he refused | to name. The attack on Norman Thomas, | Socialist ‘eader, in .a municipal park in Newark Saturday night and the subsequent argument over the identity of anti-Thomas demonstrators who pelted him with rotten | eggs and over-ripe tomatoes, accentuated interest in tonight's demonstration. Mr. Thomas, a former clergyman
on a Socialist ticket, charged the hostility he met was inspired by | Mayor Hague. Mr. Hague scoffed at the charge, calling it another attempt by Mr.
Thomas to “make the front page.” |
Tonight's parade is sponsored of- | icially by the law and order committee of the American Legion here. {It will be reviewed bv Governor | Moore, Senator Milton (D. N. J.

Political activity is most energetic | at the bottom among local directors | and project foremen and among local Barkley leaders who have con- | tacts with WPA, and it is most prev- | alent and open in the southern and | eastern sections of the state, where | they take their politics seriously and are not scrupulous about methods. WPA foremen are passing out Barkley buttons, instructing their workers that they must vote for the Senator, and, in numerous cases, making support of him a prerequisite for jobs. In several cases, workers who have indicated their preference for Governor Chandler have been fired. The trail leads back from the bottom to higher-ups in such a way as to indicate that the local officials and bosses directly involved have received the “go” sign from those above to whom they are responsible.
