KENTUCKIANS VOTE LIGHTLY IN PRIMARY Few Go to Polls in Six of Eleven Districts to Nomi- nate Representatives. By the Associated Press. LOUISVILLE, Ky., August 2.—Voting today in Kentucky's primary election, fn which only six of the State’s 11 districts participated, was unusually light, less than half of the registered voters in the six districts going to the polls to express their preferences for the various congressional candidates. The new election law functioned smoothly and no disorders were re- rted. The new law provides that the E:)lots not be counted until the next week day after the election. Tonight the ballot boxes were locked and taken to the county court housees, where they will be guarded until Monday, when the county election boards will begin tabulating the votes. The law prohibited a precinct election officer from touching a ballot after it is marked, the voter placing it in the box himself. There were no party contests in the | first five State districts, eliminating the | necessity for § primary. In the six| Eastern Kentucky districts, Where the primary was held, there were no out- | standing issues, the contests being| waged: primarily on local questions. Mrs, Marie Haller, opposing Repre- | sentative J. Lincoln Newhall in the| h district, is avowed wet. Ken- ky's other two wi*nen candidates for Congre: both Republicans, ca paigned as drys. They are Represent- ative Katherine Langley, tenth district, and Mrs. Minerva Allen, opposing Rep- resentative Robert Blackburn in the seventh district. Predicted heavy voting in the eleventh district Republican primary and the ninth district Democratic pri failed to materialize, despite ited campaigns. Judge William Le and Representative Charles Finely were the leading candidates in the eleventh dis- trict Republican primary and Willlam J. Fields, former governor and former Representative, and Fred M. Vinson, Representative ousted in the Hoover landslide, were the principal Demo- cratic candidates in the ninth. The same apathy was in eviednce in the eighth district Democratic primary, in which former Representative Ral] Gilbert is attempting to return to Con- {re&s after his defeat in the Hoover ndslide, and in the seventh district Democratic race, in whch former Rep- | resentative Virgil Chapman is attempt- ing a similar comeback. Interest in other primary races was slight also, Senator John M. Robsion, Republican eandidate for both short and long terms to succeed himself, was unopposed in the primary, nor were Appeals Court Judge M. M. Logan, Democratic can- didate for the long term, or Ben Wil- lamson, crippled Children’s Commis- sion chairman, Democratic candidate for the short term, opposed. Eighty Miles on Crutches. A.

CHCACD DOCTORS URCE ABY MARK Uniform System to Prevent Repetition of Mix-up Is to Be Drawn. - By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, August 2.— Confusion over the identity of two bables born June 30 at Englewood Hospital got offi- cial recognition from the Chicago Med- ical Society today. A committee of the society was appointed to draft legisla- tion providing a standard system of marking new-born children at hospitals. The committee appointment followed a conference with Dr. Arnold H. Kegel, city health commissioner. Dr. John R. Harger, president-elect of the society, sald in making the announcement that all of the city's hospitals had marking systems, but that there was need for a uniform plan which provided signa- tures of two witnesses in legal form. The babies whose identity became clouded in doubt were those born to Mrs. Charles Bamberger and to Mrs. William Watkins. The latter found a “Bamberger” tag on the infant she | brought home, and a “Watkins” label was found at the Bamberger home. A jury of scientists decided the- babies had been mixed; a jury of physiciang decreed they had not; the Bambergers are certain they have the right child and the Watkins are in doubt. The case is now at a standstill pending a suit brought by the tkins asking Two Rooms, Kitchen and Bath, $42.50 ° Cambria-Majestic 1324-26 Euclid Street N.W. upper story of a Madrid, Spain, hof sustaining serious injuri court to decide on the identity, and another suit by the Watkins against the hospital for $100,000 for alieged “lost identity.” Moccasins From Scotland. That thousands of mocassins sold in the United States as Indian souvenirs are manufactured in Scotland has just been revealed by Arthur Wilson, manag- ing. director of a large Glasgow firm. “Tourists in the United States buy In- dian’ mocassins as souvenirs of the land which was once peopled by Redskins,” sald Wilson. “They are not made on Indian reservations at Niagara, as tour- ists probably suppose, but in Glasgow, and_exported to the number of about 2,000 pairs a month. They are made exactly as by the Indians on the reserva- tions, but in lots of thousands.” ———— Osaka, Japan, plans to raise nearly $29,000,000 for unemployment relief.

FILM STARS ANGERED BY JOKERS MAKING LATE TELEPHONE CALLS SHIPLINES MERGER | GETS STEP NEARER Officers of Roosevelt and In- ternational Mercantile Admit Negotiations. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, August 2.—A merger o(‘ the Roosevelt Steamship Co. and the International Mercantile Marine Cor- poration appeared & possibility today with confirmation of reports that con- versations looking toward a ‘‘censoli- dation of interests” had been held be- tween officials of the two organizations.
