EXPECT KENTUCKY PRIMARY TO GO TO HIGHEST BIDDER BAKKI.EY BRINGS HOME HEAVY APPROPRIATIONS BIG BUSINESS, MACHINE BACK CHANDLER LAVISHLY BETTING NOW 5 TO 4 ON SENATE LEADER WASHINOTON. June 33. Alben W. Barkley of Kentucky, majority leader of the United 8tates senato. Is an amiable, pompous, rather mud dleheaded person, with a taste tor barber shop song and an engaging habit of telephoning Jimmy when In doubt. Yet, although hla capacities are limited and his record Is unin teresting, he has a talent for bring ing home- the bacon. In the recent session of congress the senator obtained two prime pieces of pork for Kentucky a $11-.-000,000 TV A dam at Ollbertsvllle and 3133.700.000 worth of Hood control projects. Under his beneficent Influ ence, the emergency agencies WPA, PWA. CCC and the U. 8. housing au thorityplan to spend around 60, 000,000 In Kentucky In the next 13 months. New Kentucky postofflces will come to el.500.000. Kentucky farm bene fit checks are unpredictable but sure to be handsome. And Kentucky's share in the ordinary expenses of government cannot be calculated. The wildernesses of federal finance are hard to penetrate, but with the important exceptions already noted, a fair sized estimate of the value ol federal bacon brought home by the aenstor Is s306.00.000. As that comes to 8107 for every man, woman and child In Kentucky, It must be admit ted that the senator has done well. These dry and somewhat forbid ding figures are worth recording at the moment, because, the senator Is now engaged in a primary contest with Oov. A. B. ("Happy") Chandler. As the senator is the hand-picked representative of the White House the whole prestutc of the New Deal depends on his victory. The choice confronting the Ken tucky voters Is not an appetizing one. On the one Sand Is the sena tornot a man to gel excited about at tiie best of times. And on the other Is the governor, a hard-boiled loud-moutbed, glad-handing politi cian, in the brash and loquacious tradition of southern demagogy. The voters of Kentucky are not to be blamed If they choose the candidate who bids the ht-best.

(AP) Fed eral Judge Murray Hulbert reserved decision today on the government's application for an order restraining the New York Post from publishing the "inside" story of the espionage Investigation. A temporary restraining order, is sued yesterday, was continued. The articles, which were to have started today, were written by Leon O. Turrou. former special agent of the department of justice who was the chief investigator In the case. The argument before Judge Hulbert dealt principally with the question of whether the Post was entitled, un der the free press provisions of the constitution, to publish the series while the Investigation still was In progress. Turrou declared he had "signed confessions" from four Indicted spy suspects now in custody. "They are self-confessed spies and they have already Involved many otherii," he said. The four defendants pleaded innocent to espionage charges yesterday. Turrou Issued his statement In a corridor of the federal building Jui-t before a hearing started on an order to restrain the New York Post from publishing a series of articles written by Turrou. The articles were advertised as the "authentic inside story behind the 1. S. grand Jury Indictments of 14 German officials." United States Attorney Lamar Hardy obtained the order yesterday, on the eve of the scheduled publica tion of the first of the articles, re quiring the Post to show cause why It should not be restrained from printing them.

(AP) Prom a cot in Polyclinic hospital Max Sohmeling could testify today to tho power in heavyweight champion Joe Louis' fists. Knocked out in two minutes and four seconds of the first round of his 16 'round tytle match with Louis in tne Yanxee staaium insc mgni Schmellng was under observation, at tho hospital for a severe back Injury suffered In the opening minute of fighting when Louts landed a smash ing right above the kidney. After a thorough examination, Dr. Robert Brennan, professor of surgery at the Polyclinic, confirmed an earlier diagnosis that Max had suffered n fracture of the transverse proceasts. This was described as fractures of projections from vertebrae on tue right side of the 'back, Just below the ktdney. Processes Fractured In a formal statement, Dr. Brennan said: "Mr. Schmellng has suffered frac tures of the transverse processes of the third and fourth lumbar vertebrae with a hemorrhage of the lumbar muscles. Prognosis Is favorable." Physicians explained that the transverse process Is a small, thumh like knob on the vertebrae. There are two transverse processes on each of the bones of the back. They act as pegs on which the. back muscles are hooked. Treatment for such Injuries fre quently Is difficult. In many cases a surgeon must operate to remove tho broken pieces of bone. Sometimes It is possible to permit the bone to knit by keeping the patient absolutely quiet for a period of some weeks. It was the first smashing right hand body punch Louis landed that really settled the fight. The German screamed with pain when it landed and was an easy mark for Louis' sharp -shooting thereafter.
