NEW DEAL MOBILIZES TO AID BARK LEY $52,000,000 ESTIMATED ALLOCATED TO KENTUCKY PLAN SEEN TO RALLY JOBLESS TO CAUSE SL'FFEY'K INFLUENCE WANES IN CA1MTAI. WASHINGTON, May 17. IT Allien W. Barkley wins his Kentucky pri mary . contest against the ebullient A. B. "Happy" Chandler, the slue of hla majority will not only be a teat of the popularity of the New Deal. It will be the supreme test of what the federal government can do in the line of rigging local elec tions. Barkley was hand-picked by the president for the post of senate majority leader not so much for hla statesman ly exterior, as for his engaging habit of telephoning Jimmy when In doubt. The prestige of the White House Is Involved In the fight between Kentucky's senator snd governor, as It never has been In any previous state primary, and the strategist of the New Deal fully recognise how vital a Barkley vic tory Is to their cause. The New Deal strategists are pre pared to do anything In their power to put Barkley over. It's already been reported that the president will visit Kentucky, to utter hts own August indorsement of hts worthy and obe dient friend. By itself, this is an extraordinary step. But the adminis tration is not going to stop there, by any means. All the Immense resources of pat ronage, public money . and the pap that public money buys will be lav ished, on the Barkley campaign. It has been decided to go the whole hog. and credible estimates of the share of taxpayers' funds now being allocated to help Barkley run as high as $52,000,000. The by-products of battle ought to make Kentucky a national beauty spot. Not long ago the plan of the pap. patronage and projects campaign was laid out at an inconspicuous gath ering In the senate majority leader's capitol office. The chief men present were Barkley. Tom Rhea, a Chandler victim In the last Kentucky primary, who Is now supporting Chandler's enemy; Selden Olenn, the Kentucky collector of Internal revenue, who Is the behind-the-scenes Barkley man ager; and a representative of the works progress administration said to have been George H. Goodman, the Kentucky administrator. Long ago, the treasury loudly com manded Its collectors to keep out of local politics. The WPA has always insisted that it Is non-political.

New Jersey Plane Plants 'Destroyed' in War Game FARMINODALF, N. T.. May 17. (UPl This town last night under went the first "'war time" emergency in the modern history of the United States when a squadron of bombing planes roared over Long Island In a simulated night air raid on the Severaky and the Orumman airplane factories. The town of approximately 3.500 people waa "blacked out" as defend ing aircraft and anti-aircraft bat teries wnt Into action. More than 1.1.000 persons, mostly in automo biles, rloesed the hichwya to wstcb the rpertA-le. T-e "Mark-Kit" waa sienalled by three blasts of the town's fire whistle at 10:30 p. m. (E.D.T.), A few seconds later nine tiny Seversky pursuit planes droned off Seversky field, a mile out of town. Within eight minutes they had "contacted" i the raiding wjuadron. &carcbiibu of we 62 cd coast ar Aged Woman ELDERLY COUPLE SAVED AS CAR IS The little and usually tranquil community of Steamboat In the re mote Applegate section was slowly getting back to normal today after a series of near tragedies Involving the Uvea of three persons. Two of them, an old man and his mother, miracu lously escaped death. ' Through with mining In the Ap plegate country after three years of prospecting, Michael Schocnburger, 60, and his mother, Llzetta Schoen burger. 84, packed up all their be-' longings, locked the little Steamboat cabin they had lived In and started out at dawn yesterday for Los Ang eles In their old coupe. In Los Ang eles Mrs. Schocnburger was to take up residence with two daughters and her son was to leave for Alaska. At 8 a. m. Mr. Schocnburger and his mother reached the Car berry low water bridge. Melting snows had filled Oarberry creek and the bridge was awash. Mr. Schocnburger, how ever, started across. The boards of the bridge were slippery and the creek current was strong. The car. having disc wheels, presented almost a solid obstacle to the rushing creek. The water swlrleo the car around and wiwhd It off the bridge, nose first. The current cnrrlrd the car and Its two occupants 75 feet downstream before the machine got stuck on a sand bar. The auto wws then on Its aide, with Mr. Schcvnburger on the bottom. Mr. Schocnburger, with herculean strength, extricated himself and pull ed his mother from the partially submerged coupe. Putting her on top of the car, he ran to the Bn Dawson ranch for help. Mrs. Dawson telephoned the Star ranger station of the Hog tie River national forest and the station noti fied the Applegate CCC camp. H tillery picked up tlx attacking planes flying at an altitude of 6.000 feet. The planes unloaded their "bombs" flares which lighted up the coun tryside. Anti-aircraft batteries blazed away with dull chugging explosions that gave a realistic touch to the attack Within 10 minutes the defending pursuit planes rad driven off the nldera Bnd the attack was ended But three attacking planes, flying at an altitude of 15.000 feet, were not deleted by the searrhHuMs and did unestimated theoretical "dom ee to the town and apparently de stroyed Severnky field, their objec tive, according to Col. H- W. T. ftgltn. commandant of the 62nd coast ar tillery. Shortly afterward the raid was over snd the lit; ts vent on. No of ficial rrnlts of the raid were announced. STATE RULE FOR RELIEF ACHY El Michigan Senator Proposes Legislation to Return All Relief Administration to Control of States. WASHINGTON. May 17. Senator Vandenberg (R.-Mlch.) pro posed legislation today to return d mlnlstrntlon of all relief activities to the states under a system of federal grants-in-aid. The Michigan senator Introduced his program as a substitute for the section of the administration's lend-ing-spendlng bill which deals with direct appropriations for work relief. He said he would propose also that congress strike all "pump-prlmlt3" fiom the bill. The result of his proposals. Van denberg said, would be to "take the federal government out of the relief business except on the basis of grants-in-aid" and restore "home rule re sponsibility." r- Under Vandenberg's substitute a "non-partisan" federal board would allocate government funds to state boards for expenditure under Indi vidual systems chosen by the states. The states would be required to match federal funds by at least 25 percent. Instead of appropriating $1,260. 000.000 for seven months' operation of WPA. Vandenberg would provide 2.160,000,000 for allocation to the states over the entire fiscal year start ing July 1. By the Inclusion of $76,000,000 to match the administration's appropri ation for the National Touth ndraiiy titration and 8174.000,000 to equal the sum proposed for farm security. the total appropriation In the Van den berg substitute would be 82,410, 000.000 for the next fiscal year. Senate backers of the $3,000,000,000 relief and public works program, ad vocating a quick start of government spending, asked federal agencies to enumerate projects which could be Is enacted.

Stephenson, Medford lum ber dealer, and W. H. McNalr, Ash land drug store proprietor.

Mr. Steph enson was elected to the legislature two years ago but declined to be candidate for re-election when nom inations were being made formally. Barn hart, project superintendent, set out immediately with ar group of enrol lees. On the way they were Joined by Mrs. R. C. Crow of the Copper store and some miners. Lee Port, district forest ranger, and Mrs. Port also Joined the group. Reaching the scene of the creek imbedded car. the rescuers got Mrs Sclioen burger to shore. Then thej took her and her son to their Steam boat cabin. Meantime fohn Sperry, 23, 'San Francisco youth spending a vacation with Vincent Nugent In Steamboat concluded the mall carrier would not be able to get across the Car berry bridge: so he decided to met the mailman and relieve him of the mall. Sperry went to the Dawson ranch and borrowed a horse. When he mounted the animal, however, he realized he did not know how to handle a horse. He Jerked the reins and the horse reared and fell over backwards on the youth. With all the men of the commun ity working to get the Schoenburger car out of the creek, Mrs. Dawson waa alone when the horse toppled under Us rider. Suffering acute pain. Sperry would not permit Mrs. Daw son to touch him. Mrs. Dawson scurried around the neighborhood until she found Mrs. R. R. Orrett a nurse. Together they got Sperry Into a cabin on the Dawson ranch.
