Kentucky Must Pick One Of Her Two 'Favorite Sons' Editor's is another, of several stories by roving Associated Press reporters analyzing the campaign in ksy states. By DON WH1TEHEAD LOUISVILLE, Ky. UPl-The people of' this mint julep and blue grass country are approaching the difficult political choice of having to send only one of two favorite Nations, sons to the U.S. Senate. The decision must be made Nov.

Meanwhile, he served as a U.S. delegate in the United As a senator, Cooper didn't achieve the national position of Barkley, but he did make a record which even Democrats say made friends for him. His age is in his favor too.

Even a casual visitor to Kentucky soon finds that Berkley's 76 years have become a beneath-the-surface issue which could have a strong in- But Cooper is making a strong race and there are a few say he may pull the biggest surprise of the entire national campaign.

They are counting on Berkley's enormous personal popularity plus a voter swingba'ck to the Democrats. At this point there is general agreement the odds are in favor of Barkley whining. TWO YEARS OLD Nada Verleen Gerard, above, was two years old Aug. 19. She is the daughter of Mr.

He assails the administration as representing the privileged few and not the masses of he doesn't include Eisenhower himself in the Cooper has hit hard on the theme that the nation is at peace because of Eisenhower's leadership and that the Democratic prosperity was a war prosperity. He pictures himself as being in a position to do more for the state than Barkley. State that In interviews, both men claimed with a good deal of confidence they normally is Democratic. The voters from 1913 to 1925 sent him regularly to represent them in Congress and from 1927 to 1948 in 1948 they voted for him as vice president. Unemployment, particularly in the coal fields, would appear to be a factor working in Barffley's favor.

Another would be the fact that about 70 per cent of the county offices in Kentucky are controlled by Democrats, in addition to the state government. On the other side, Cooper has proved he has a great deal of appeal to the voters. He won a short- term Senate seat in 1946 when former Democratic Sen. A. B.

He added that in his travels around the state he had found a feeling "this administration is inadequate to deal with the problems that face us." He predicted he would win by a "substantial majority." Cooper conceded that Barkley's popularity was the major obstacle he had to he said he was getting more expressions of support from Democrats in this race than he ever had before. "In the past two weeks," he said, "the feeling has grown that I'm going to win. If this keeps building up, I will win.

And I think I will win." On 260 Buried In Landslide On Haiti Isle POET AU PRINCE, Haiti iffl An estimated 260 persons were reported buried in a tremendous landslide that thundered down Tuesday on the remote mountain village of Berly, 20 miles south of here. Capt. P. Burchett, head of the Inter-American Geodetic Survey, brought back word of the disaster Friday after landing at the site of the buried village in a helicopter. He said the estimate of fatalities was based on reports by local police.

They said the only survivors were a child who fled ahead of the rumbling earth slide and a woman visiting out of town. A Red Cross party which hiked to the scene said only six houses still stood on Berly's outskirts. The rescue party had to travel 35 hours through fog enshrouded, trackless mountains to reach the village. The landslide presumably resulted from floods in the wake of Hurricane Hazel. The fierce storm lashed Haiti last week before cutting a swath through the Eastern United States and Canada.

Incomplete figures early this week indicated the hurricane took at least 74 lives in the island. One Matter 7 Wins Ocean Ordeal By ROV ESSOYAN HONOLULU Wl An intrepid, 61-year-old raftsman, who drifted 6,500 miles from Peru to American Samoa, attributes his survival of; report, unconfirmed by any offi- 115 days in the stormy Pacific to "mind over matter." William Willis of New York arrived by plane from the South Pacific yesterday with "Meekie," the fish-loving cat who made the long voyage with him. Another companion, "Peekie," a parrot, was lamentably eaten by "Meekie" two days before they reached Pago Pago Oct. 15. Willis stepped down from a Pan American Airways liner, fresh and rested, but reluctant to talk to reporters.

He read a prepared statement and said he planned to sell what he called his "almost incredible story" to the highest bidder after talks with his agents in New York. However, later at a private, informal reception at the Adventurers Club of Hawaii, he told of riding the pitching, 35-foot balsa raft with only short catnaps at the steering wheel. "I had to be on deck all' the time," he said. "I had to keep the raft on course. It was 24-hour watches all the way.

Most of the time I had to hold on for my life."

Vishinsky's Crqck About Hazel Gives Translators Puzzle UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. Mi- Russia's Andrei Y.

Vishinsky wisecracked here recently that an excited Latin American speaker -was acting like on a rampage. But his wisecrack got changed in translation because of a quirk of pronunciation. The Russian language doesn't have any in it. The Russians use a instead. Thus, Herbert Hoover becomes Gerbert Goover.

So what translators heard was Vishinsky complaining that the delegate was "losing his head, he acts like-Gazel on a rampage." He caught the translators by surprise. The English translator thought Vi- shinsky said "he acts like a gazelle on a rampage." The Spanish translator, puzzled by the word, finally figured out that Vishinsky was trying say "he is like gases on a rampage." All was confusion for a time but this is the true story of what Vi- shinsky said. Tarpaulins, Mervis, Ph.4121 Dr.Edwards'Offers Complete Relief from Constipation Take DR.

PRESSEY 2411 N. Washington Dial 5756 "If It's Plumbing or Heating Call Peerless" Parachutist Locked Up in Zoo CHICAGO, Oct. 22 ffl Rocky, the world's youngest lady para-j trooper, was locked up today in i Lincoln Park there she'll stay. The 187th Regimental Comba Team decided tha zoo was the best place for Rocky, a 16-month-old 1320-pound Hokkaido bear, even though she served with distinction "in Korea.
