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.

SPY Rl STORY
Government Would Restrain
Former Federal Agent
From Writing of Activities
While Still Going On
NEW YORK, June 23. (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.
NEGROES CELEBRATE

NEW YORK, June 23. P
Counting the $75,000 receipts

the million dollar mark.

NEW YORK, June 23. (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. The negro
champion floored Max three times be-
