SECTION THE ENQUIRER, CINCINNATI, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1941 News Happenings In The Bluegrass State COMING EVENTS To Cast Shadows, Is Mason's Forecast In Purchase Inquiry. Writer Points Out Aid Of Chandler To Faction Is Being Investigated. BY WILMER G. MASON. Louisville Boreau, 236 Francis Building.

SPECIAL CORESPONDENCE TO THE ENQUIRER. LOUISVILLE, similarity of the "power politics" of nations and the practical politics of party factions has been suggested in this column. The massing of troops along a border is the prelude to a development to be forthcoming, whether that development. itself is one of compromise or one of force. It is the old story that coming events cast their shadow before.

In the same way when an administration or MARIN. political faclion makes a move, the eventual objectives can often be determined by analysis of the strategy employed. The late General P. Haly liked to launch his campaigns with letters to the editor, from widely scattered points but having remarkable similarity of content. Currently, the state administration is bringing up sizenble reserves, with which to meet what it has chosen to regard as an attack upon itself in Frankfort.

Two weeks ago, Thomas R. Underwood, editor of the Lexington Herald and a recognized outlet for Governor Johnson's inner most thoughts, wrote a story in which he praised a certain state official ALS being the "author and chief pilot" of Kentucky's debt-reduction program. A couple of letters-to-the-editor appeared in Louisville 88 usual, from widely separated points vancing the same theory. In a Louisville night club, theatrical company stages revivals of the old 10-20-30 "mellerdrammers," in which "Little Nell" tells how, beneath the rough exterior of her rustle lover there beats a "heart that is true and pure." Dr. A.

T. McCormack, head of the State Health Department, is a prudent and conscientious man, considered by many to be Kentucky's outstanding politician. Those who have watched Legislatures come and go, over a period of many years, agree that there are few things, if any, more dear to the heart of Dr. McCormack than the appropriations for his beloved health program. Having to go to Frankfort every other winter to obtain renewals of these appropriations, Dr.

McCormack has developed a fine sense of judgment of the direction of the political winds. Administrations are, to him, a progression of perfection. Even when many doubted the Sampson Administration was getting along 80 well, Governor Flem D. Sampson was, by Dr. McCormack's public utterances, great Governor.

So, again, when Ruby Laffoon WAS Governor. So, still more recently, when Albert B. Chandler was Chief Executive. And even more 50 now when the Governor Keen Johnson. From this background, it may be realized that it would be news, indeed, for Dr.

McCormack to take any part in a public controversy without first having sampled the wind with his weather-wise nose. It is not suspected that he has done so. Thus there are implications fairly to be drawn when Dr. McCormack, in the best 10-20-30 manner, testified beneath a certain official's rough and rugged exterior, too, that, there beats a heart that is true and pure. J.

Lyter Donaldson, State Highway Commissioner, the man who managed Johnson's successful primary and general election campaigns two years ago, was the chief figure in a parade of other principal administration. appointees in Frankfort their official indorsements to the conduct of their official associate. Senator A. B. Chandler added his own further indorsement to the men for whom he originally had been responsible when Governor.

Governor Johnson entered the fray, saying in one of his rare publie statements the men whose conduet was being questioned had more experience in their own fields than Hubert Meredith, Attorney General, had in the practice of law. All these things together add up to things. Nobody has said in words that "we'll fight it out on this line if it takes all summer." but the available defensive forces have been deployed in such positions as show unmistakable evidence of the strategy. Meredith, cast unexpectedly into the role of the man who "ain't OFFICES Bright, Brand-New Modern $20 Venetian Blinds, Fluorescent Lighting, Heat. Hot Janitor Service.

The Times asked him if his indorsement covcred the same department's approval of payment of salary to V. L. Spalding, Uniontown a "non-working" state employee or "sleeper." Spalding recently settled Meredith's recovery suit by paying more than $3,000 into the state treasury.

The country papers, too, have been taking up the situation. The Johnson County News, Paintsville, after a university official had testified in Frankfort, said "the university made mistake in hiring a man" of this man's "ability to forget." It added. "Or could it be that the professors need an absentminded business manager to aid them in forgetting the business of the university?" prohieme, country paper hailed the purchase of soap at 50 cents a pound as heralding a "clean-up in Frankfort." In Harlan County, the greensided mountains stretch half-way to heaven from the beautiful, clear streams that ripple and babble from one deep pool to the next. Nobody was killed in the last election. The miners are working although just a few days ago many of them weren't, because of a little the "captive" A captive matter of contracted difficulties in mine being one operated by a railroad or industry, and whose produet is not sold on the open market.

It is a matter of sworn court tea- timony, in recent case, that when a drinking party was given in the home of a Negro preacher, in connection with the August primary election, the good preacher opened the party with prayer. There was refreshment for the soul no less than stimulation for the body. The pleasant strains of the nickel In the-slot "jute box'! float o'er the peaceful countryside above the whir and click of the slot machine. Business is not as usual thereit is better than usual. Being an industrial community, Harlan is not able to enjoy its elections in the same way they are enjoyed in many of the agricultural counties.

In many of these counties, it is said commonly and with considerable truth that heated election race is "as good as A tobacco crop" for the voters. Since it grows very little tobacco, Harlan County is not able to gauge the economic value of an election by any such standard. It 18 comton, instead, to appraise such incidents by comparison to a new wage contract. A new wage contract, course, means added costs to be passed along to the eventual consumer. It is not so with election prosperity, which is communal system of sharing the wealth, a home industry widely honored and strongly supported.

The slot machine plays an portant part in this laudable and socially-desired process of trans. ferring funds from the "haves" the "have nots." although it possible a good deal of the amount gets hung up along the way. is always, however, a price tag on human betterment. Mrs. Laura Cawood, Republican nominee for Sheriff and wife the present Sheriff, Herbert C.

Cawood, feels deeply over this. She is campaigning 011 platform promising abolishment of slot machines. Sheriff Cawood, having served only part of a term, was constitutionally eligible to succeed himself, but stood aside since it would neither be fair nor legal for him to serve 2.8 Chairman of the County Election Commission when he, himself, was a candidate. The courts, viewing the matter with legal astigmatism, to place a mild construction on what the Sheriff's friends regard the decision, held that he couldn't serve as election commissioner with his wife a candidate, either. Thus, Sheriff Cawood lost out all around, except the extent that it's his wife who has been nominated to succeed him.

Ed. Smith, defeated narrowly Mrs. Cawood in the Republican primary, had a contest suit all prepared, but reached a decision not to file the action. Sheriff Cawood, it brought out in a contest over was. Republican nomination for County Judge, virtually ignored his wife's race.

He was very much interested, however -even to the extent of heavy financial contributions- -in the candidacy of M. 4. "Green" Smith for County Judge, Robert Hodge, local Secretary-Treasurer of the United to Mine Workers America (unit the Congress of Industrial Organiof zations) testified that he, too, supported "Green" Smith. Most of the witnesses for Lonnie Davisworth, lost in the County contest who ran for County Judge and who proceedings, testified that they, too, supported "Green" Smith for County Judge. Notwithstanding this potent support, "Green" Smith ran fourth and last, beaten off by many lengths the -candidate race for County Judge.

Davisworth emerged as nominee for County Judge on the face the returns, only to lose out in contest proceedings. The tion then was given by court order to Theodore "Ted" Middleton, former Sheriff. Davisworth is coal loader in the mines, 8 member of the U. M. W.A., and a former member of the House.

With the U. M. W. support going, it was sworn by Hodge and others, to "Green" Smith, and since Ted Middleton had important "operator" support, it can only be conunion support managed ricochet jectured, of course, that, the mine off "Green" Smith and spatter around Davisworth's reels, because Lonnie did a pretty good job of running. In the absence of any contest of the Sheriff's nomination, there was nothing to bring out whether the U.

M. W. activities, ricocheting off "Green" Smith to speed Lonnie Davisworth's race, also gave any added impetus to Mrs. Cawood's candidacy. It would have been ungrateful, to say the least, for the mine union boys to be against the wife of the Sheriff who was helping them so valiantly, albeit unsuccessfully, in behalf of "Green" Smith.

So now Mrs. Cawood is the Republican nominee for Sheriff, and she is against slot but these must be non-existent slotmachines, because it is to be assumed that she would not repudiate the record not only of her party's Sheriff, but also her own husband. Nominee of the Democrats against Cawood, Mrs, to succeed Cawood, is Clint Ball, who ran against Cawood, four years ago. The courts at that time decided that what had been conducted WAS not an election, and that neither had won. The Democrate then appointed Ball and he served until another election, or rather until an election could be conducted, when Cawood, defeated Ball.

Now Ball and Cawood, Mrs. square off for another of the Ca Ball races. Harlan reports BAY that Clint Ball is not receiving any visible or noticeable support from the state administration. This is rather an odd development, since Ed. Smith, defeated by Mrs.

Cawood, is a cousin of Herbert Smith, Highway Commissioner for Statel district. Herb Smith lent the aid and comfort to Ed. Smith when Ed. Smith sued successfully to oust two other Smiths from the ballot. The Smiths are A numerous tribe, Smith, Smith, Smith, and Smith, in Harlan as Is Frankfort, although are different Smiths.

Since that episode, however, Hero Smith has been absent from the visible political picture. It F. M. Meadows, Democratic nominee for County Judge, a businessman and newcomer to politics, should decide that he doesn't wish the job, after all, then the Democrata could center their efforts on the Sheriff's race. This is stating the situation as politely and discreetly as possible.

CHARLES B. MEYERS. MANDAMUS SUIT Of Negro Dismissed In Fayette Circuit Court Over Acceptance By U. Plans Federal Action. Lexington, October 11-(AP) -Charles Lamont Eubank, seventeen-year-old Negro youth, Louisville, today asked Judge Chester D.

Adams to dismiss without prejudice to future action his Fayette Circuit Court suit for a mandamus to compel the University of Kentucky to accept him as a student. Prentice Thomas, Louisville, Negro attorney representing Eubank, filed the dismissal motion. Later he said he probably would file within the next week a Federal Court suit designed to obtain for Eubank the right to enter College of Engineering at the university. Thomas said his client probably would contend he was being denied rights assured him under the Fourteenth Amendment to United States Constitution, the same ground set out in the mandamus suit in Circuit Court. The Louisville attorney said he had decided to drop the suit cuit Court "because it is a Federal question involved, anyway." Thomas added his pleadings in Federal Court would follow those of the Gaines in which the Supreme Court case.

United States ruled recently a Negro youth should be permitted to attend the University of Missouri. Eubank applied to the University of Kentucky for admittance last summer, but his application was rejected. The Negro asserted in his Fayette Circuit Court petition the rejection had been made solely because of his race and color. Defendants in the Circuit Court action were Dr. Herman Lee Donovan, President of the university; Leo M.

Chamberlain, Registrar, and the university board of trustees.

Wilson, acting adjutant of the center, announced yesterday.

The classes will be held at 7 o'clock each Monday and Friday night at post headquarters. John T. Kingsley, former Director of public property and superintendent of the Covington Waterworks Department, lost his fight to compel the City of Covington to restore him to his position whea Judge Rodney G. Bryson in Kenton Circuit Court, Covington, yesterday. handed down a judgment holding that Kingsley had no cause for action at law and ordering his tion dismissed.

Kingsley had charged that provisions of the Civil Bervice Ordnance had been violated in his dis missal. Kingsley, who was Director of Public Property from January 1932, to February 29, 1940, when he was dismissed, asserted that his work was a "necessary part in the operation of that department of the city government, that the work had not been abolished, and was being performed by others under a different title at no saving to the city." He asked for back pay. The case WAS submitted on stipulation of fact, in which, the judgment says, it was agreed that the Department of Public Works and Public Property were combined and that no director was provided for in the ordinance. Affairs of the combined departments have been administered by the City Manager. "The Court feels that if any of the assigned to the heads of different departments can duties, be administered by the City Manager, there is no law to prevent him from assuming those responsibilities in the furtherance of efficiency and economy," Judge Bryson said.

Judge Bryson said also that the stipulation showed Kingsley had a better position, with a better salary than that which he would have received had he retained his job with the city, "For that reason, the Court feels that the petition of the plaintiff fails to maintain an action at law, and therefore it is dismissed," Judge Bryson said. Ralph P. Rich, former City Solicitor, who represented Kingsley, said that until he had an opportunity to study the ruling he could not say whether an appeal would be made. The case was the first in which a former city employee failed to be reinstated. The decision in this case will not affect others that are pending, conditions being different in the remaining cases, it was said.
