KEYNOTE SOUNDED
 FOR G. ]. P.f|GHT
Lucas Says Democrats Will Use Unemployment as Issue

Washington, Aug. IS (UP)-The new management of the republican party sounded a keynote today di- rected at offsetting any political re- action resulting from business de- pression.
 Robert H Lucas, new executive director of the republican national committee, issued his first state- ment declaring that while men were walking the streets hunting jobs, democratic strategists were fearing an improvement before election.
 A republican keynote for meeting the economic issue was sounded by Lucas as follows:
 ""When a man gets a serious ill., ness, he doesn't call in a uuack. That's just the time he puts his faith and hope in the old family physician"
 Admits Crisis
 Lucas said the country is facing a crisis and that if a democratic con- gress Weee elected the country would not see normal business for some years to come.'
 Politicians of both parties have privately felt the business situation would be one of the chief factors in the coming congressional elections. Lucas statement was devoted al- most entirely to this question and to charges that democrats were at tempting to capitalize the situation. Republicans have been delayed in beginning their campaign due to the difficulties over the retirement of Claudius H, Huston as. nationa, chairman.
 However. one week after the se- lection of Senator Fess of Ohio as national chairman and Lucas as his chief executive assistant, the repub- liCan organization is ready to launch into an intensive campaign of edu- cation.
 Lucas charged the democrats had put their party in direct opposition to every effort by President Hoover to restore business and provide en- ployment.
 Support Lacking? Having selected the natural mis- fortune of the nation-the suffering of the unemployed-as a campaign issue for 1880. the democratic lead CTS could not lend their support to any corrective measure without de- priving their party of a battle cry for the campaign" Lucas continued
 And the country has continued to suffer-busines is slow to re- coyer-Workers walk the streets looking for work while the demo- cratic strategists confer and consult and issue statements. all the while fearing an improvement in business before the election. They hold tc the falIacious idea that if things vii just remain as they are until election day, the democrats will secure con. trol of congress.
 Politics may be just a game tc some people, but when it is the strategy of party leaders to dis courage the revival of business, tc continue unemployment, then those party leaders are apt to find them selves without any enthusiastic fol- lowing.
 T know 1t is freely stated by democratic leaders that the business depression, the unemployment the low price of wheat, will react against the republican administration. know the democratic party is rely ing on that belief alone for it's hope But isn't that placing a. low esti, mate on the intelligence of the American people?"

The fact that zoning, once es- tablished, is retained permanently by cities and towns proves it's worth. Many other ordinances have been adopted here, proved to be unwise and were repealed.
 Seven Zones Here
 Tn New Britain we have seven zones, three Of residence, three busi- ness and one industrial. The num- Der of families allowed in each house determines whether a district is residence A. B. or C. but there are many other details such as side yards, rear yards, garages and other auxiliary buildings allowed or pro- hlbted. and the general uses al- lowed on the land. The law is in- terpreted and administered by the building inspector who studies each application for a building permit with reference to the zone law. If the applicant is not satisfied with the decision of the inspector. he may appeal 10 the board of adjust | turned down. he may go 10 the courts with his case. We have had few cases in the courts. considering the thousands Of decisions made in this office and by the board of ad- justment.
 "The board of adjustment in cer- tain cases, with appropriate safe guards, is permitted to allow a de- viation from the provisions Of the law 10 avoid a hardship. These have to do with such matters as sideyards and rear yards. or the ex- tension of non-conforming uses. In no case can the board of adjustment allow a building to be constructed in district in which such Construc- ton is forbidden by calling the action a special exception. This was attempted in the memora ble courts ruled that a zone change rather than a special exception is required. Since that decision was handed down persons coming to this office with requests such as that filed by the Masonic Temple cor poration have been advised that a change of zone is their only remedy.
 Zone Change Difficult
 Although the machinery has been set up to make possible changes in zones, the ordinance has been so grafted as to discourage shifting of districts. No zone change can be made effective unless five Of the seven members of the board of ad- justment and three-quarters of the membership of the common council vote affirmatively. We have had very few here.
 Tn any ordinance involving many important considerations the need for slight alterations appears from time to time. zoning has been no exception We have altered the law wherever it has been found not workable. and undoubtedly will have more changes as years go on. How ever, one thing Is certain; Zoning IS here to stay. It is the most forward looking piece of legislation ever adopted by the common council in this city, and its benefits will in crease with the growth of the city"

Airplanes fly between Hartford and New Britain so frequently to- day that a blase world fails to show any special interest.
 But residents of the two cities were greatly excited in 1878, B. years ago, when Prof. Ritchel. one of the earliest aeronauts, announced that he would make a flight from Hartford to New Britain in his new flying car" 4 handbill advertis- ing the arrival of Prof. Ritchel in Hartford referred to his venture as the 'only reliable air line to ali parts of the world" Since then, aviators have crisscrossed the oceans and have flown over the north and south poles.
 On June 12, 1878, Prof. Ritchel's barrel shaped balloon went up from the old National league ball grounds in Colts meadows in Hartford. The ascension attracted a large throng. many present being workmen from Colts factory curious to examine the machinery of the contraption.
 The old handbill, which has been preserved, announcing the event read.

Obviously, as everyone knows prohibition did not destroy the grape industry, as had been feared or anticipated when prohi- bition first came to bless the land. Instead of breaking the in dustry, there has been a most mys- terious boom all along the line. It was when Dr. Doran began prying into the reasons therefor that trouble was produced along with the grapes.
 However now all IS well. Mrs. Wnlebraudt IS counsel for the Giant Fruit Industries. Inc, of California. A significant development is that Dr. Doran has been renewing per mits for wines and wine tonic and the terms Of the permits have not caused semblance of consternation among the wine growers.
 The Government may be congratu- lated on thus handsomely doing it's bit to help the great California grape industry, If prosperity is to be achieved etc, there must be less governmental interference. A good lawyer such as Mrs. Willebrandt really is, can do much to help the situation

 The result, Lewis declared is farms bending beneath mortgages" the ravaging of nine hundred mill lions of earned money to pay for tribunals of punishment" "the ex- pense of five billions each year to administer the national government, to give it force and officials to de- prive the states of home rule and the snatching from the states and cities of five hundred millions of revenue"
 The citizen. he said, "beholds busi- ness driven to desperation, capital to terror and sees elected from em- ployment millions and millions of toilers.' He warned that ''in their helplessness these burdened and abandoned Americans become fit for communism and peril their own land with threats of danger"
 Pleads for State Rights
 The restoration of the government 10 the foundation laid by the fathers of the republic, and the return of the states to revolve about the axis of the constitution afford the only de- sired relief, he said.
 TO this end, there must be-" he said.
