"As a veteran of World War II myself, I wish to state that the American people had just won a great war on the battlefields of both Europe, Africa and Asia and if given an opportunity on election day and in the halls of Congress, they will win another great war here at home through the abolishment of the bureaucracy or the bureaucratic control of our Government in Washington. "When the bureaucratic control of our Government in Washington has been abolished and the operation of our Government has been returned to the people where it rightfully belongs, then the task of producing the various items essential and necessary to operate our homes, our factories, our offices, and our farms, will be made much easier and this will be another great war won by the people.

Judge Cooper concluded his statement: "If nominated, and I hope to be on next Saturday, and elected, which I also hope to be in November, I will represent all the people rather than special groups." Governor Willis said he had no statement, but had come to Campbell County at the invitation of the Republican club and to meet the people of the various Northern Kentucky communities. Later, Governor Willis said he was confident the Chicago firm of Griffenhagen and Associates, recently employed to survey the State school system, "will make a fair and impartial survey and their report will show our deficiencies.

"You recall that at the last session of the Legislature certain school interests sponsored a bill providing for the appointment of three representatives and three senators who were empowered to employ technical assistants to make a survey of the school system and appropriated $45,000 for this purpose.

Detectives arrested Joseph Nye Gibson, 32, of 405 S. Floyd, and charged him with murder in connection with Good's death. Deputy Coroner Joseph Beck said Good's body and face were covered with bruises and he had a blackened eye. Bock will make an autopsy today to determine the cause of death, he said. Detective Kenneth Vassie reconstructed this story from eyewitnesses: Good met Gibson walking with Goqd's wife.

Mrs. Kathorine Good, 25, at Floyd and Jefferson and the two men began fighting. They were chased away fromthe corner by some other men, and Good ran up Floyd with Gibson pursuing him. Gibson caught Good at Floyd and Liberty and struck Good several blows, finally felling him to the sidewalk. Gibson was arrested at his rooming house.

Mrs. Good went to her rooming place at 225 E. Madison, where she was too hysterical to talk to detectives. Vassie said witnesses told him Gibson and Mrs. Good had been keeping company.

Marvin Dennison, 21. of 2513 W. Main, was taken to General Hospital at 10 p.m. in serious condition with a pistol shot in his abdomen. Dennison was shot with a automatic at 25th and Market while was with several companions.

A checkup in Todd County, which adjoins Logan, indicates that a bit of information picked up in Bowling Green was inaccurate. In Bowling Green, the prediction was made by a Brown supporter and included in yesterday's report by this survey that Todd was one of the few counties in this district which might go for Ardery. A visit to Elkton, however, produced evidence to the contrary. Tarty Leaders for Brown. The regular party organization there is for Brown, not very actively and not very zealously, but sufficiently to promise him a majority of the extremely light vote expected.

The man who was reported in Bowling Green to be Ardery 's most ardent follower has been ill for some time, and, according to his neighbors, would uc iui uiuwii ji lie iuuk any pari in the campaign.

Police Tell Used-Goods Dealers To Take Thumbprints of Sellers P1F1CIS 1 This is the seventh of a series 0 stories on Kentucky's political currents leading up to the August 3 primary. By ROBERT L. RIGGS.

Courier-Journal Washington Correspondent. Morganfield, July 28. No one in Kentucky regrets as deeply the prospect of a light turnout in next Saturday's primary election as do the handful of people who now operate the old Rhea machine in Logan County. They sat in the Courthouse at Russellville yesterday and made estimates of the Democratic turnout. They ranged from 40 to 60 per cent of normal ballotingThis is a considerably larger vote than is predicted in any other county.

But the Logan County organization derives little satisfaction from the fact that it will get a higher percentage than other sections. The cause of their regret is Recently, he said, a wrist watch taken from a rape victim by a Negro attacker was recovered in a pawnshop. If the proprietor had been required to take the thumbprint of the client he would have given police a valuable lead, he said. James O'Brien, 37, of 1350 Hemlock, was charged with storehouse breaking yesterday after police surprised him in a liquor store at 1786 W. Oak at 4 a.m.

Police said O'Brien broke the glass of the front door with a lump of coal. Speakers Want Lincoln Park As Store Site Sale of Lincoln Park to a private owner for development of a shopping center was suggested by speakers on WGRC's Tri-City Forum yesterday. The speakers, A. J. Stewart, vice-president of Citizens Fidelity Bank Trust Company, and Layrence Duncan, City of Louisville assistant law director, agreed the City could use the revenue from the site to belter advantage than the park is used.

Tax Value Set At $55,000. Stewart estimated the City would get $55,000 annually from the site if several one-floor stores were built there. The money thus raised could be used to develop parks in other parts of the city. Bids are being taken by the U. S.

Government for sale of the park, estimated in value between $2,000,000 and Use of the land as a park always has been questioned, Duncan said. A survey showed that tired shoppers seldom used the site, but that it did draw some "undesirable he explained. It would be impractical for the City to erect a combined park- parking lot there, and the costs would be too high for an individual or corporation to build a hotel, the speaker agreed. Col. Lucien Beckner, secretary of the Filson Club, was unable to speak as scheduled because of ill ness.

Raises Urged For Teachers Saving Forests Rural schoolteachers in Kentucky who are emphasizing forest protection in their classrooms are entitled to more pay in consideration of this additional work, W. L. Shaddix, Birmingham, secretary of the Southern States Forestfire Commission, said here yesterday. Shaddix, in Louisville to attend a conference on forest education at the Pendennis Club at noon Wednesday, said these teachers and others throughout the South are increasing the ability of the public to pay because of their conservation teaching. The commission's records show, Shaddix said, that in some counties where schools have devoted regular discussions to forestfire prevention the losses by fires in those areas have been cut as much as half.

This means a county may be saved up to a year, he said. that this is the first election since the death of the master vote-producer, Thomas S. Rhea. In this first test of their capacity to follow in his steps, his political heirs would like to make a showing that would prove they are worthy to wear the Rhea mantle. But the times are against them.

They cannot overcome the apathy with which Kentuckians regard the selection of a Democratic senatorial nominee. There is every prospect that Saturday's Democratic vote in Logan will fall below that which was counted in the dull primary of 1942 when John Young Brown failed in his attempt to unseat former Senator A. B. Chandler. It may go as low as 2,000, whereas even in 1942, Rhea was able to get 4,211 to the polls.

He got that many out in the face of the fact that, after years of training his followers to be against Chandler, he switched his support to Chandler that year. Rhea produced 3,782 votes for Chandler against only 429 for Brown. Big: Brown Vote Expected. Regardless of how many or how few turn out, the leaders at Russellville expect to perform in the old Rhea tradition by giving 80 to 90 per cent of the votes to Brown. Second place, they say, is likely to go to Blakey Helm, who has "roots" in Logan as well as in adjoining Warren County.

The rest, they say, will be scattered among Norris Vincent, Philip Ardery, the Rev. James Delk and Tom Logan. The group now doing the work formerly performed by Rhea feels it can continue through the years without the prospect of one of their number reaching out seize one-man control and causing a rift in the leadership. The group has power not only in Logan County, but also in most parts of the Second Congressional District. Todd County for Brown.

Whitaker, County Judge Homer Sister Offers To Fly to Aid Of War Bride A sister of the English war bride who stabbed her husband at Fourth and Broadway last week has offered to fly here to aid her, it, was learned yesterday.
