TSENATE GROUP 0K'S POOL GIFT
Chandler Really Happy as
Group Finds Donor Not
Prime ‘Contractor.
By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, July 17 (U. PJ). —Senator A. B. Chandler (D. Ky.) has a perfect right to his nickname “Happy” today, for he has the only private swimming pool in America whose purity has been attested by a senate investigating committee. The full title of the committee which made the Investigation is “special senate eommittee investigating the national defense program.” Full title to the pool, which is situated on Senator Chandler's 2-or-3-acre home place just outside Versailles, Ky., came to him free. But like many things that are free, this gift turned out, for a time at least, to be a headache. The worst kind of a headache for a senator seeking renomination— a campaign headache. So the senate committee supplied the aspirin.
Told Story From Stump
John Young Brown, former United Mine Workers attorney, is opposing Senator Chandler for renomination in the Kentucky “primaries Aug. 1. He took the stump to tell the story of how Ben H. Collins, Louisville contractor, had built the pool at Happy’s place free. He added that Mr. Collins has sold and is selling thousands of dollars’ worth of ready-mixed concrete for government construction jobs. ‘And he estimated the cost of the pool - at around $10,000. : Mr. Brown said this: swimming pool down in Woodford county took steel and brass (plumbing fixtures)

ties—even if he is a member of the senate military affairs committee and a long-time captain in the army reserve corps.
Put War in the Shade
According to Senator Chandler's senior colleague, Senator Alben W. Barkley (D. Ky.), senate majority leader, this free swimming pool had become about the principal issue in the Kentucky primary campaign. It was getting more attention than the war, Thus it was that Senator Chandler appealed to the Truman committee to investigate. Senator Carl A. Hatch (D. N. M.) read the unanimous committee report to the senate late yesterday. Briefly, the committee investigators found that Mr. Collings Had never been a prime contractor with the government and had never called on any influence Senator Chandler might possess to obtain any of his numerous federally financed jobs. He estimated that the pool he gave Happy wasn't worth more than $3500.
Barkley to the Rescue
Senator Barkley, who went through a tough campaign when Mr. Chandler was governor and trying to take his seat, rose gallantly to defend the committee report. He somewhat belittled the swimmingpool issue—but didn’t compare it with the WPA-vs.-the-statehouse-gang feud which marked the Bark-ley-Chandler campaign. ‘Then he called on Senator Hatch to say how much steel was involved in the - pool’s construction. That wasn’t in the committee report. Senator Hatch, however, said the investigators reported that it took about four tons, at $20 a ton—all old scrap belonging to Mr. Collings, according to Mr. Collings. During the reading of the report, Senator Chandler sat in his seat, in a white suit, as cool as his pool. But his necktie was red, am sO was his face.

FIGHT ITALIANS ALONG BORDER|
Jugoslav Guerrillas Wage Two Battles Only Six
Miles From Fiume.
LONDON, July 17 (U. P.).—Reliable sources said today that Gen. Draja Mikhailovitch’'s guerrillas were engaged in two battles with the Italians along the border, six miles from Fiume, Italy, and that his men had carried out three night raids against garrisons near Trieste, Italy. Trieste is 25 miles from the Jugoslav border at the nearest point. Both Fiume and Trieste are in northeastern Italy. The Italians, according to reports reaching London, have increased their army of occupation in Croatia, along the Italian frontier, to well over 300,000 men. Gen. Mikhailoviteh, it was said, is concentrating the larger part:-of his Jugoslav army in Croatia, which reportedly developed an intense hatred for the Italians for stealing everything eatable or movable.
Hundreds Join Guerrillas
Hundreds were reported flocking to his army, which now was striking in widely separated places in an effort to spread out Italian occupation forces. In efforts. to meet the nightly threat of guerrilla raids, Italian garrisons were reported ringing the towns of Ljubljana, Celje, Kovac, Delnice and Vhrnika with barbed wire and machine gun posts. Polish guerrillas were said to have killed Franz Wald, the local gestapo chief of the district, in a pitched
| battle on the outskirts of Lublin.

LOS ANGELES, July 17 (U. P.). —‘Everything seemed to go black” for Mrs. Lily Fern Thompson when her husband died two years ago on the cruise of the storm-tossed sloop, Wing On, she said today. Mrs. Thompson, 23, mother of two children, survived the voyage because she was lashed to a mast but remembered nothing about the trip or the storms and starvation which cost the lives of her husband, Chester, 21, and their friends, Dalton and Eve Conley, of - Oakland, Cal. A Fiji missionary found her aboard the wrecked yacht 21 months ago. She gradually regained her health but failed to remember details of ‘the cruise until her physicians permitted her glimpses of the ship’s log.” The last entry, dated Nov. 11, 1940, said the sloop had covered 5010 miles and had |’ been at sea 105 days.

WASHINGTON, July 17 (U. P).
—Women working on assembly lines
at war factories need serviceable clothes with “safety first” features and plenty of action room. Recognizing that women “in pants” are here for the duration, the bureau of home economics of the agriculture department has just released a pamphlet on work clothes for women on the labor “front.” It concludes that women’s work clothes should be “pretty as well as practical” ‘and attempts to tell how. Women who drive farm machinery or trucks or work in the fields should wear sturdy slack suits. The bureau suggests a field suit with fitted ankles to keep out dirt and grasshoppers. The lower sleeves of the skirt-jacket snap on and off, thereby eliminating rolled sleeves. A coolie hat stiffened with pieces of cardboard is a protection
