TwoKilled, Four Held In Kentucky Feud Over 1938 Primary ‘Bloody Breathitt’ County Jailer and Turnkey Slain From Ambush By the Associated Press. JACKSON. Ky., April 29.—Two men are dead and four others are in jail after another burst of gun- fire in “Bloody Breathitt” County where enmity exists between two political factions, dating back to the bitter 1938 Barkley-Chandler Demo- sratic senatorial primary. County Jailer William Combs, 41, was shot down yesterday, apparently from ambush, on the outskirts of this mountain county seat, and shortly afterward one of his turnkeys, Benton Sizemore, 25, was killed by & bullet in his back as he approached the scene of the Combs slaying. The four suspects, held in Win- chester, Ky., were listed by Clark County Jailer Omer Booth as Rudell, Boone and Pete Combs and Arthur Lee. The three Combses, Jickson Police Chief A. S. Sizemore * said, are related to the slain Breathitt County jailer. Feud Linked to Politics. Mr. Booth said Pete Combs and Lee were picksd up in a Winchester restaurant at the request of Jack- son authorities. Rudell and Boone Combs were taken into custody at | Jackson and brought here for safe | keeping. Their commitment papers, | Mr. Booth added, signed by Breath- | itt Circuit Judge Chester A. Bach, | stated they were charged with murder. ‘Willlam Combs and Benton Size- more were the third and fourth men to die by bullets in Breathitt County this year in what appeared to be related incidents having as a background the campaign in which Senate Majority Leader Barkley was opposed unsuccessfully for his seat by A. B. Chandler, then Governor, now United States Senator by ap- pointment. Although Chief Sizemore, a distant kinsman of Benton, said a patrolman Saturday “broke up” a fight between Jailer Combs and one of the four | suspects, it was recalled Jailer Combs | was indicted for murder in the pre- primary gun battle, August 4, 1938, in which Lee Combs, no relation, was killed; his brother, Louis, Sen- ator Chandler's county chairman, and Sherifft Walter Deaton were | wounded. Charge Against Combs Dropped. ‘The charge against Jailer Combs, Senator Barkley's county chairman, later was dismissed. Last February, Louis Combs was killed and Fred Deaton, one-armed son of Sheriff Deaton, was wounded in a pistol duel. Fred Deaton was indicted for murder. | Several weeks later, Wilson Dea- | ton, another son of Sheriff Deaton, | was shot and killed, but Chief Size- | more expressed belief it had no connection with the “bad feeling” | engendered ®by the preprimary battle. However, two cousins of Louis | Combs’ wife were arrested on murder charges in connection with Wilson | Deaton’s death. _ Jobless Compensation Compromise Assailed Congressional and labor leaders | rupporting the compromise unem- ployment compensation bill which | was expected to be reported to the | House District Committee today were assailed by Sidney R. Katz, | secretary-treasurer of the Maryland | and District of Columbia Industrial | Union Council, a C. I. O. affiliate, in | & statement released today. Mr. Katz charged that the: com- promise bill “hits a new low in compromises,” with the present waiting period for unemployment compensation being raised from one week to two weeks and the unem- | ployment period covered being re- duced from 26 weeks to 20 weeks, although the rate of compensation would be raised from $15 to $20 a week. | on THE EVENING EASTERN HIGH ORATORY CONTEST FINALISTS—Seven finalists in the annual oratory con- test sponsored by the school’s fraternities and sororities which was won today in Eastern l\}dl- torium by Tim Hurst, 16-year-old senior (standing, l°ft, on the front row).

Heber Blankenhorn, a special in= vestigator for the National Labor Relations Board, admitted betore the Smith Investigating Committee of the House today that he ad- dressed to Board Chairman Warren J. Madden a memorandum trans- mitting a proposed resolution which was to be submitted to the Con- gress of Industrial Organizations in convention at Atlantic City. The resolution condemned Senate hostility to the inquiry then heing . conducted by the La Follette Civil Liberties Committee. Mr. Blankenhorn said he had no recollection of drafting the resolu- tion and, to the hest of his knowl- edge, he did not, but he submitted it to Mr. Madden. The memorandum to which the proposed resolution was attached “With Denver (where the Ameri- can Federation of Labor was meet- ing) ignoring the Senate Committee, La Follette, returning, might think his work forgotten.

Court Upholds Murder Verdict Against Death Car Driver The United States Court of Ap- peals today, in sustaining a second- degree murder conviction of Charles Sumner Lee, jr., colored, who was driving an automobile loaded with bootleg whisky and pursued by rev- enue officers when he killed two young children, held that a feiony made so by law is sufficienit to support & murder finding. Hitherto, said Assistant United States Attorney William S. Tarver, who, with former United States At- torney David A. Pine and former Assistant United States Attorney Howard Boyd, handled the case for the Government, murder convic- tions have grown out direct crimes of violence and not felonies made so by statute. In this case, said Mr. Tarver, the carrying of bootleg whisky was made a crime by law. The appellate court said that the circumstances showed legal malice and supported the charge given by Justice Bolitha J. Laws at the trial. Lee contended, through his counsel, that the direct cause of the deaths was the misdemeanor cf reckless driving, but the higher court ruled that this is not a valid contention. “It could as well be urged that one who killed another while ~om- mitting a robbery should not be held guilty of murder because the proximate cause of death was the misdemeanor of firing a gun within the city limits,” declared the court.
