Organization work preparatory to the coming campaign will be start ed immediately it was decided at a
 meeting of the democratic town committee held last night in the borough court room. Plans for the coming year and the two cam paigns of 1892 were discussed.
 It was decided that a meeting of the town committee will be held monthly from now on. At the next meeting the Democratic Registrar of Voters Dennis M. Linskey will he invited to attend the commit tee meeting and plans will be dis cussed relative to the lists Of dem- ocratic voters in the borough. Naugatuck is expected to play prominent part in the election next fall as at the present time all in- dications point to the naming of Judge Martin E. Gormley as the democratic candidate for congress from the fifth congressional dis trict. Judge Gormley was the can didate for congress in the 1930 campaign and fell short by only
 few hundred votes of carrying the district which was always consid- cred overwhelmingly republican. There is also a possibility that the candidate for state senator from the 14th senatorial district which includes the borough may come from Naugatuck. It Is the belief or the town committee members that work should be started early lining up for the campaigns instead or waiting until the last few weeks pe- fore the elections.

On the doors of the Bank street entrances to the building official notices have been placed by Unit ed States Marshal Jacob D. Wal ters. They were pasted on the windows by Deputy U. s. Marshal Joseph M. Parks. Closed for six months by Order of the United States District Court for Violation of the National Prohibition Act" is the wording. It is the first official act resembling paddock proceed ings.
 Several weeks ago it was formal 1y announced that three buildings in Waterbury would be padlocked as the result of recent convictions. A visit was made today to two other buildings in the Brooklyn district mentioned in the recent dispatches, but there were no signs or placards. Whether the owners have successfully contested the right of the government to pad- lock or placed or whether their cases are still pending in the courts was something which noe one in authority was inclined to- day to discuss.
 The act of placing a notice on the building is construed as a pad lock proceeding. but there is no lock in evidence. According to one interpretation of the ruling the owner of the building must see to it that the doors are locked or face contempt of court charges. Tho public is advised of the status of the building by the official notices. In other cities where paddock measures are not a novelty a pas serby can readily note the big lock. As far as the local authorities are concerned the efforts of the gov- ernuent are something new in this city and they are interested specta- tors to the extent of the proceed ings. It has been expected that 231 Bank street would be closed by orders of the government. Ap- parently the original orders have been amended so as to include 229, a. door leading to the two upper floors of the building. This is a surprise feature of the proceed ings.
 The first inkling of the govern ment's intentions to take unusual steps against local violators came out in evidence presented at a hearing before United States Com missioner Harry A. Krasaw. The testimony was recorded in the cases of Anthony Diorio and Michael Toma, charged with violations. They were served with warrants following the visit here of Ralph Johnson, nemesis of restaurant and club owners in Connecticut. With out 6 warrant Johnson entered the place and on the pretext of look

RADIO SHOWS WAY
/ TO u. S. RECOVERY
Klein Believes New Industry
| viii Provide Outlet From
Depression. TAs
Dy the Associated Press.

Dy the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August S.-Radio was
bet forth last night by DR.. Julius Klein,
Assistant Secretary Of Commerce, as
holding strong hope for keeping men
and money busy during the next decade.
Klein, In a radio address, cited past
economic depressions and the parts
played by other industries in recovery
from them. He pointed to the growth
of the railroads as helping to overcome
obstacles after 1875 and more recently,
the automobile after 1921.
Foresees Rapid Growth.
To-day, clanibering as we are up
from the 1930-31 visitation Of like I'M
pleasantness," he said, "it would not be
unlikely that the growth in new house
hold electrical appliances, such as the
radio, may help materially to keep men
and money busy during the next
decade
After each serious business depres-
zion, he asserted, the opening and de-
Velopment of some particular new field
for human energy contributed much to
eestore prosperity.
The radio industry. Klein added. was
only half grown, with but 100000
homes, barely a third of the domestic
market, equipped, leaving a long way
to the point of saturation.
He estimated the capital investment
Of the radio industry at $4,000, 900, 900
as compared to $4,000, 000,0 900 for cleo
trical railways and $3,000,000, 900 for
shipping and canals.
Listeners Total Billion.
Klein said he had been told by trade
experts that to meet minimum require
mentS in the next five years the in
dustry probably would have to be
doubled, as billion people now were
within range Of radio stations.
The growth of stations was outlined
by him as a contributing factor in the
future, explaining that with five per-
sons to set, 200,000,0 900 sets would be
required to serve the immediate availa-
BILE field.
United States radio manufacturers,
he said, exported 10000 machines dur
ing the first quarter of 1881, as against
$1,000 for the same period last year
Approximately $150,000,000 yearly is
spent by companies in the United
States for listeners, Klein said.

ASK HOOVER TO HALT
SALE OF PULP WOODS
Officers Of American Association
Hold Industry Periled by
Increased Production.
ny the Associated Press.

Dy the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August 3.-Oficers Of
the American Paper and Pulp Associa-
ton yesterday sent letter to Presi-
dent Hoover urging him to take action
to halt pending negotiations for the
sale of national forest timber in Alaska
for conversion into news print.
The letter said in, part:
under the conditions presented in
the accompanying survey we are of the
opinion that all pending negotiations
should be dropped and that no other
offers of Alaskan or other national
forest timber entailing paper or pulp
mill construction should be made until
a need arises.
ITO thrust unwanted production upon
an overexpanded industry, struggling
with diminished demand and van
iShing profits, would make a bad I'M
employment situation worse and further
depreciate a capital investment of over
$800, 100000 in the United States, Can
ada and Newfoundland.
1.-The survey shows there could be no
possible gain to the consumers of news
print; that the present supplies of pulp
wood are ample, and that the CONT
mental news print industry is equipped to
produce 100000 tons in excess of the
average consumption over the past five
years ="

BRITISH Coal INDUSTRIES
ANAL GAMATION PLANNED
Commission Would Divide Country
Into Six Geographical Units
! With One Mine Each.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, August 3.-A sweeping
amalgamation scheme for the reorgani-
cation of the British coal industry is
put forward today in the report of the
Coal Mines Investigation Commission,
appointed under the coal mines act of
last year.
The country would be divided into
six geographical units in each of which
there would be only one colliery UNDER
taking, if the government enforced
literally the scheme suggested by the
commission
The vital need OF the industry, the
commission urged, is the reduction of
costs through the concentration Of pro-
ductive export. More pits ought to
work to fuller capacity while some
ought to stop work, temporarily, If not
permanently, 1t was said.

CHURCHMEN WARN
AGAINST WAGE CUTS
Bishop Freeman and Mgr.
Ryan Laud Unions in Main
tanning Standards.

Urging the necessity for the main
tenance of American standards at this
time and lauding the union organiza-
tions for their part in the present
struggle to maintain these, two OF the
countrys leading churchmen declared
in statements today that the cure for
our economic ills now depends upon the
spirit of the people, presenting "a new
test of patriotism" and demand for
unsclfiSh, united effort.
Bishop James A. Freeman. Bishop OF
the Episcopal Diocese of Washington,
and Mgr. John A. Ryan of the Catholic.
Church both stressed the Importance of
individual effort and the avoidance OF
unreasonable retrenchment." Both also
sounded a warning note against wage
cuts to reduce production costs.
No Time for Selfishness.
'The seriousness of the present eco
nonlic crisis puts an obligation upon us
to do all in our power to maintain and
stabilize our industrial and social order"
declared Bishop Freeman.
This is no time for selfish insularity
or passive and impractical interest in
the large concerns of industry. An un-
founded peSSimiSm at such time as
this must prove disastrous. Our opti-
miSm must disclose itself in practical
ana nelDIul ways Dy maintaining the
high standards of efficiency as we'll as
the high standards of wages. We shall
certainly not cure our economic ills by
policy of unreasonable retrenchment"
Praises Union System.
Citing the primary contribution of
the union system of labor to community
$ and national welfare, Mgr. Ryan said:
"The contribution to general well-being,
especially during period such as we
are now passing through, made by
unions in maintaining a decent stand
ard of living. is the most concrete con-
tribution that could be made by these
or any similar groups to the community
and to the Nation. The local union is
an important factor in community life,
just as the whole comprehensive union
system is of importance to our coz
porate national existence today
THE necessity for maintaining the
union or American standard Of living
at this critical time is recognized by in
dustrial leaders and unicn men alike,
and the union which aids in having
them maintained not only benefits the
working man, but is the protector of
local industry, and hence vital factor
in the welfare of the community in
which 1t operates.'
