“Suggestions Follow Probe b ~ Welfare Department; | Most Prisons 0d.

The State Welfare Department oday advised five counties to seek PWA funds to build new jails and recommended jail improvements in four other counties. : The recommendations, it was disclosed, followed "a comprehensive probe. by Welfare Department investigators. : ‘According to a report to the Welfare Department by C.-O: Fields, chief institutions inspector, counties where new structures are needed ‘to replace obsolete jails are Madison, Delaware, Putnam, Montgomery and Whitley. Jail improvements were advocated for Jefferson, Hancock, Morgan and Wayne Counties, the report said. It indicated that all counties involved in the inquiry had offered to co-gperate with State officials in their campaign to improve jail conditions. st Investigators have reported that 90. per cent of Indiana's county jails were built before 1900. :

One Built in 1882

Described as obsolete is the Montgomery County Jail at Crawfordsville, built in 1882, Patterned after European jails of the Victorian era, “{t consists of a steel cage of 16 cells which revolves within barred .walls like. a merry-go-round. : : Prisoners are admitted or released by turning their cells on a central axis to a narrow entrance in the framework: which surrounds the cage. . a They have no access to windows or walls of the building, ‘Fhe hollow - axis, about which the cage. revolves, would act as a flue should a fire occur in the jail, according to investigators’ reports. : Plans for a new jail are already underway, it was reported. County officials are trying to get a PWA grant tq finance construction of a new jail and court house. Among reforms urged by the State Corrections division are improved facilities for segregation: of priseners, juvenile detention homes for incarcerating juveniles, ultimate abandonment of county jails as places of serving sentences ‘and abolition of the fee system of feed‘ing prisoners. vs

‘Evidently the Japanese side also has

In view of this is appears necessary to state that the Soviet Government in future does not intend to leave unpunished the periodical Killing and wounding of its frontier guards, or.even the temporary occupation of Soviet territory by Japanese troops, and that it is determined in.similar cases in future to resort to the most drastic measures including the use of artillery and aviation, . «let the Japanese Government compel its Kwantung ¢(Manchukuan) and Korean armies to respect the existing frontier, It is time to put an end to the endless ‘neidents’ and clashes on the frontier.” Accuses Japan It seemed plain enough that this statement represented a new and important stage in the entire frontier situation. It was a public warning that Russia intended to use whatever force was necessary to

But it was even more important in its relation to the talk which preceded it. : ~M. Litvinoy accused Japan of bad faith; he suggested the possibility that the Japanese were deliberately trying to draw Russia into war; he said no agreement was possible so long as Japanese troops remained on soil which Russia claims, Another charge that Japanese Militarists are attempting to draw Soviet Russia. into war “by any means, including most provoking and insolent ones,” was made in the newspaper Pravda, official organ of the Communist Party, charged today. “The Japanese government bears the responsibility for victims which fell on both sides as a result of the anese militarists against Soviet hostilities commenced by the Japtroops in Soviet territory,” it said. The newspaper said the Soviet government aimed only at the pres ervation of peace and restoration of calm on the frontier.

Americans Periled

In Nanchang Raids SHANGHAI, Aug. 8 (U. P.).—The Chinese today asserted that their “God of War” Battalion, aided by artillery and an aerial squadron, defeated a Japanese effort to land troops on the Yangtze River banks at Wusueh.

The Chinese admitted that 600 Japanese troops had been put ashore SPposiie Kiuktang. A seesaw battle, causing great losses to both sides, was in progress on Ox Hell and Old Tiger mountains south of Kiukiang. Some of the best troops of the Chinese Army were massed at Nanchang, 150 miles below Hankew, where are the biggest ‘and most modern of China's airplane bases, The Japanese were attemping to drive in from the Yangtse River to the horth, but admittedly were hav‘ing a difficult time, Japanese planes dumped hundreds of bombs on the city, apparently trying to wipe out the airpert, but many bombs fell in the city proper, destroying whole blocks of houses,

Army to Mobilize at Ft, Knox For Defense in Play War.

Com-

CHICAGO, Aug, 8 (U. P).—A theoretical “Black” army today occupied the Southeastern states and drew a baitle line along the Ken-

tucky-Tennessee border, preparing for an invasion of the rich agricultural and industrial Middlewest, Simultaneously the - “Blue”—the second army, commanded by ‘Maj. Gen. Hugh A. Drum—mobilized and established headquarters at the gold vaults of Ft. Knox, Ky. for what promised to be a hard fought “defense” of industrial states. The “invasion will be on paper, No troop movements will be involved. The war in theory was declared a month ago by the “Black” which consists ‘of Arkansas, Louisiana, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, North and South Carolina and strong overseas allies. The defense of the Middlewest constitutes the command post exercise for officers attached to the Second Army, The exercise will start Sept. 18, at Ft. Knox and will last four: days.

Army of 500

The ‘aim of the officers’ exercise is to determine whefher their organization can protect the lllinois-1In~ diana-Ohio industrial area from & powerful invading foe sweeping in from the Southeastern states for a major drive northwest hetween the Mississippi river and the Appalachians. Under Gen. Drum, approximately 500 officers from the Fifth and Sixth Corps Areas will gather at the Kentucky Army Post and for 86 hours will direct a mythical army of 120,000 “Blue” troops against the peril of “invasion,” Officers will pilot troop maovements and report their plans of defense and attack to a board of 88 officers acting as umpires. Simultaneously officers of the invading army will be reporting: their troop and equipment movements to the same board. : The umpires, all graduates of the Army War College and skilled tacticians, then will report back to the commanders of the opposing forces their losses and gains in men and equipment, prisoners taken, and allowable gains of territory.

The victor will be determined by the board of umpires,

Prestige May Suffer

President Roosevelt, himself was interested in Kentucky as well for 1940 as for 1038, for a Barkley dglegation will be for a New Deal type of candidate and thus strengthen the President's lines at the convention, while Governor Chandler, it is believed, would throw his influence with the conservatives, . . In the opinion of observers, the Kentuel ator did net add to his | by the type of campaign ‘eonducted on his behalf and by him Jessanaliy. especially his concludPp : Ts “If you want to swap all you're getting now from the Federal Government for a set of balanced biriget Government books down in Washington, then vote for Happy Chandler. But if you want to keep on getting what you're getting &nd get some more, then vote to keep me in the Senate.” ' President Roosevelt has twy victories to his credit out of two cases where he asked for the election of sitting Senators—Thomas in Oklahoma and Barkley in Kentucky, According to all reports, he is also due to win in the third case, his appeal on behalf of Senator McAdoo of California.

Barkley Plurality 0f 50,000 Expected

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Aug, 8 (U: P.). —Governor Chandler today conceded that U. 8, Senator Barkley, the choice of President Roosevelt, had won the Democratic senatorial nomination. : Returns from Saturday’s primary election, although incomplete, indicated a plurality of 50,000 votes for Senator Barkley. Governor Chandler wired Barkley from Frankfort: “The returns from Saturday's primary are not yet complete, but they indicate your nomination to the Senate by a safe majority. President Roosevelt said he desires you returned to the Senate and a majority of ‘Kentucky Democrats agreed. I bow to the will of our citizens. “I have no excuses, alibis or regrets. As the Democratic nominee you will have aetive support in

cessful term in the Senate.” Plurality Increased

Governor Chandler also thanked his followers for their vetes, He said in a statement to them: “I am grateful to the thousands of my friends who made such a gallant fight for me. I still have ‘my chin up.- I'll continue to fight the battles of our citizens here.” : The counting of votes cast in the primary was resumed today after a week-end recess, and Senator Barkley’s plurality increased to more than $40,000. The unofficial vote in 3432 of the State’s 4310 precincts was: Barkley se ese 0ee0teRe ee 230,702 Chandler ...,cc 0000000 190,500 In 145 of Louisville's 621 precincts, Senator Barkley received 10,777, and Governor Chandler 3144. Of the unreported precincts, more than half are in Jefferson County (Louisville), a Barkley stronghold. With only 68 of the county's 621 precincts reported, Senator Barkley’s early majority indicated he would carry the county by 15,000 votes. He would need only to maintain his present average outstate ratio to insure a 50,000 majority.

Barkley Thanks Voters

The unofficial tabulation included complete returns from 94 of the State's 120 counties, and all but three counties were. represented. Senator Barkley, at his Paducah home, thanked voters for an “overwhelming victory.” “It was & triumph of volunteers aver a political machine,” he said. “Happy had one of the best organizations of any state Administra-

Roosevelt May Steal Show From Primaries

WASHINGTON, Aug, 8 (U. P)~— Four states—Ohio, Idaho, Arkansas and Nebraska—hold primaries teMOITOW.: : ‘They were the scheduled events on this week’s political stage, but President Roosevelt, encouragd by the success of his personally indorsed candidate, Senator Barkley in Kentucky, may take their stellar roles from them by seeking to purge two conservative Democratic Senators seeking renomination in the South. ~ Mr. Roosevelt lands at Pensacola tomorrow afternoon from his fishing vacation and goes immediately into Georgia for two speeches. In that state Senator George, enemy of many New Deal measures, seeks renomination over Lawrence Camp, who is said to have entered the race on New Deal urging. Later he moves on to South Carolina where Senator Smith, another New Deal foe, is opposed for renomination by Governor Johnston, who announced his candidacy from the White House steps. : No one but Mr. Roosevelt knew what he would say to Georgia and South Caroling voters, but it had been reported repeatedly that both Senators George and Smith were on the New Deal purge list and political experts would not be surprised if he spoke a good word for their opponents, though falling short of the wHole-hearted, unequivocal indorsement he gave to Barkley.

Ohio Governor Faces Coercion Charges i (Editorial, Page 10)

COLUMBUS, O., Aug. 8 (U, P).— Ohio's primary campaign closed today amid charges that Governor Davey, seeking Democratic renomination fer a third time, had coerced old-age pensioners, Governor Davey, foe of the C. I. O. ‘and critic of many New Deal policies, was opposed by Charles Sawyer, Democratic. National Commit | teeman and former Lieutenant Governor. The Republican candidate, John W. Bricker, former Attorney General, was unopposed. The Federal Social Security Board, with which the state’s pension system is affiliated, called a meeting for this' week to investigate the alleged coercion of pensioners. It threatened to suspend its aid to the state if the charges were proved. Another bitter contest was that

for the Republican senatorial nomi‘nation. Robert A. Taft, eldest son of the late President, was opposed by Supreme Court Justice Arthur H. Day, who charged that Mr. Taft was using the family millions “to buy a seat in the Senate.” Mr, Taft denied the charge.

Senator Bulkley, an ardent New Dealer of whom President Roosevelt spoke favorably on his recent trip through the state, was opposed for the Democratic renomination by George White, former Governor. New Dealers took no part in the gubernatorial campaign but most of them were known to he sympathetic with. Mr. Sawyer. Governor Davey used his attitude toward labor as a campaign argument.

Mr. Sawyer frequently referred to

the indictment of 18 members of

Governor Davey’s Administration on charges of soliciting campaign contributions from civil service workers, The Rev. Gerald L. K. Smith, associate of the late Huey Long in Louisiana, made a speech in Governor Davey’s behalf last night. He said Mr. Sawyer had been indorsed by the Communist Party.

Doctor Who Diagnosed Poisoning Faces Charge LOUISVILLE, Ky., Aug. 8 (U, P). Police Chief John Malley said today that Dr. J. W. Bryan, physician who diagnosed Governor Chandler’s recent illness as “poisoning,” has been served with a warrant charging violation of a City ordinance. The ordinance requires that a physician attending a victim of poisoning or other violence report such cases to the police within two hours. Dr. Bryan's report on Chandler's illness was not made for several days. “1 ordered the warrant issued,” Chief Malley said. “I held it up until after the primary so it wouldn't be interpreted as being connected with politics. This is a case between Dr. Bryan and the police.”

paigns today and returned to their ‘homes to vote. Senator Pope, Senate Agricultural Committee chairman, is seeking election to his second term, Rep. Clark has served two terms in the House.
