FRANKFORT, Ky., July 13. :
cause he has upset the New Deal's
peace by yearning for the seat of
Senate Leader Alben W. Barkley, all
the vast resources of federal pap.
patronage and pressure have been
mobilised to destroy Governor A. B,
"Happy" Chandler. With the whole
federal political machine, from the
president to lowliest WPA foreman
working hard against mm, too Drasn
and ebullient Happy la usually pic
tured as an innocent victim.
Here in the state capital, however,
the blindest eye can see that Happy
is anything but innocent. He has
constructed for his own use, to op'
pose the federal machine, a state
machine as ruthless and efficient as
any Kentucky has known. He is
using it for all it Is worth, caring
quite as little as the federal people
for the means to gain his ends.
It is this which gives its basic in
terest to the fantastic Kentucky
primary". The defeat or" 'victory of
Senator Barkley will have an jobvioue
effect on the prestige and welfare
of the New Deal. But the test of
comparative strength between the
federal and a state machine will be
much .more significant. It will cast
a real light Into the future when
the president and hla little group of
private advisers plan to capture the
Democratic, party from the bashaws
of Its state and local organizations.
With the WPA Included, the fed
eral machine Is somewhat larger than
Happy's, but the best opinion here
la that the tighter organization of
Happy's followers makes it Just about
a stand-off. The main works of
Happy's machine are some 7600 regu
lar state Job-holders, every one of
whom has been pressed Into service,
Some time back, Happy did pass a
law against enforcing political con
tributions from servants of the peo
ple, out the state Job-holders have
been persuaded to make "voluntary
contributions, amounting to the
usual 2 per cent or more of their
annual salaries. They also do all
sorts of work for Happy, running
errands, filling .the crowds at meet-

Only Brief Rest Taken at
Yakutsk After Flight From
Omsk Time Continues
Far A h e a d ' of Post
By Paul Lien
(United Press Correspondent)
FAIRBANKS, Alaska, July 13.
(UP) Howard "Hughes' giant mono
plane droned over Teller, Alaska, 630
mllea. west of here, shortly before
noon today, reaching American soil
three days after he took off from
Floyd Bennett field, New York.' lost
Sunday night, on a flight around
the world. ,
The big silver transport piano,
roaring along at better than 310
miles an hour, was 90 miles north
west of Nome at 11:35 a. m. Fair
banks time (1:35 p. m., P5.T.) on
the next-to-last lep of Its globe
circling flight, and it had better than
even chance of completing the trip
In four days.
Following the Arctic circle almost
on a hairline, Hughes shot his plane
over Bering Straits from Cape Dezh
neva, the eastern tip of Siberia, and
sighted Cape Prince of Wales on the
Alaska shore, 600 mllea from Fair
banks at about 11:30 a. m. Fairbanks
time (1:30 p. m. P.S.T.).
From Fairbanks he expected to
make a non-stop flight to New York
approximately 3,700 miles airline
where his flight plotters estimated
he would arrive at 4 p. m.. E.S.T.
tomorrow.
YAKUTSK, Siberia, July 13. (AP)
Howard Hughes took off for Fair
banks, Alaska, at 0:01 p, m. tonight
(7:01 a. m E.S.T.), on the fifth leg
of his attempt to set a new record
for round the world flight. '
The American airman and his four
companions had remained at Yakuts.:
only two hours and 53 minutes after
completing tlelr 2,177-mile hop from
Omsk, Western Siberia.
Hughes planned to make
Yakutsk his last stop In Soviet Rus
sian territory. He plotted a course
of 2456 miles to Fairbanks, across
the northeastern tip of Siberia and
the Bering sea.
60 Hours Clone.
Leaving Yakutsk Just 60 hours,
41 minutes after their takeoff from
New York and with two-thirds of
the flight completed, Hughes and
his companions were far ahead of
the time of the late Wiley Post, who
girdled the globe alone In seven .days
18 hours, 40 minutes In 1033.
(Post flew a different course across
Siberia, from New York as Yakutsk,
came 113 hours, 68 minutes after his
New York takeoff. He had stopped
at Khabarovsk only two hours, 13
minutes.)
(Anadyrsk la a little more than
1,400 miles northeast of Yakutsk.
From there the direct route to Fair
banks would take Hughes close to the
narrowest part of the Bering Strait,
where only 60 miles of water sepa
rates Soviet and American territory.
The district between Yakutsk and
Bering Strait, however. Is one of the
wildest part of Siberia.)
Hughea had landed his big mono
plane at Yakutsk at 6:08 p. m. (4:08
A.M., E.S.T.) ending the fourth leg
oi nis lugnt.
Take Brief Rest
The weary aviator Immediately
snatched a brief rest, afterwards an
nouncing he would take off again "In
two or three' hours."
The weather was fair.
At Omsk Hughea was greeted warm
ly by representatives of the regional
Soviet executive committee and news
papermen. In a brief interview he
said It had rained heavily between
Kurgan and Omsk. He flew at an
altitude of more than 9.000 feet.
Reports of good weather were re
ceived from points as far as the Ber
ing Strait, but fog and rain were re
ported on the Alaskan side.
