V H (Acme Telephotp) ALBEN W. BARKLEY Keeps Record Intact - Berkley's Return To Senate Assured By Farmers' Votes Louisville, Ky. (U.R) The Veep was headed back to the Senate today, still holding his record of never losing to a Re publican in almost 50 years of political life. The Republicans did their best to turn back former vice president Alben W. Barkley's bid to regain the Senate seat he held for 22 years before he be came vice-president in 1948. Leads by 75,000 Votes They sent against the veter an Democrat the top Republi can votegetter this border state has seen, Sen. John Sherman Cooper. But with only about one fourth of the ballots still to be tabulated today, Barkley .was leading Cooper by 75,000 votes and the outcome was certain. The tally for 3,219 of 4,133 precincts gave Barkley 364,493; Cooper, 289,549. Owes Victory to Farmers Barkley owed his victory to Kentucky's tobacco - raising far mers, long his staunchest sup porters. Cooper carried metro politan Louisville by a few hun dred votes, but was swamped in the out-state voting. Speaking from his Paducah home, Barkley said, "I appre ciate this new expression of confidence from the people of Kentucky. I will devote all my energies, both physical and mental, in working for the peo ple of my state."
