He is running against Congress- man William Higgins of Coven- try. Fitzgerald has lengthy and favorable record behind him in the state senate in regards to la bor legislation and at the pres ent time is active in the drive against sweat shops" in Connec- ticut. .
 Mayor Frank Hayes of this city, democratic candidate for lieuten- ant-governor, and States Attor- ney Arthur M. Brown of Jewett City, g.o.p. nominee for governor, both agree on one important issue that industry can absorb the unemployed and wipe out relief rolls. Mayor Hayes made the initial claim along this line sev- eral weeks ago and called a con- ference of local industrial leaders to ask them to aid him in his theory. Attorney Brown, speak ing in Norfolk, Conn.,, late this week also places the burden of re- lieving public relief rolls on in- duStry. trA
 Waterbury, therefore, has once more taken the lead in the plan to change methods of handling people needing relief. Already the industrialists of Waterbury have taken about 100 men off the local WPA rolls. The real solution of the unemployment situation is for private enterprise to be put in position where 1t can absorb a large percentage of the unemploy- ed, Attorney Brown stated.
 Apparently Waterbury indus trialists feel that they are in such a position, judging by their ab- sorption of so many WPA men to date and in such short period of time. The theories of Lieuten- ant-G Governor Hayes, democrat, and Gubernatorial. Candidate Brown are closely allied.

Governor Gross said in part:
 eConnecticut has seen the desir- ahie results that have been achieved by the states of Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont through the sale of their rest- dantial facilities to 6 select eli" entele. .
 sCcnnecticut also has taken stock of her natural and man. made resources for recreation and residence and has discovered in their surplus a long-neglected cor1- Inodity of great economic import ance, if judiciously sold.
 ''Today there is being launched throughout the state campaign n which all of Connecticut's resi- denta are asked to cooperate. It fs q campaign designed to create in persons out of Connecticut the desire to live, do business or spend their vacations in this state.
 ''The State of Connecticut Pub. licity Commission, which was ere" ated by the 1885 session of the General Assembly has devised, af- ter nearly a year of study, 8 care- fully thought out plan by which this end could be accomplished in Accordance with Connecticuts age old policy of conservatism.
 'The benefits which will accrue from this plan are obvious. Money epent by new businesses, new resi- dents and vacationists will quickly permeate the whole business com niunity. Equally important, She money works back through retail" CTS, rniddlemen, manufacturers banks, the farmer, insurance com panies and utilities.
 Equally important again, the vaeationist and especially the new permanent resident share in the payment of taxes, both directly and indirectly, and thus help re- duce the tax burden on the exist- ing population.
 'In short the commission has launched upon Q campaign de- signed to increase Connecticuts ckSh income, employment, its tax ablN wealth and the sale Of Us agricultural and industrial pro- dlets.
 .Aione, the membership of the commission cannot hope to accom-" piish the objectives which have heAn set for them. The commits sion will need the help of every reaident of Connecticut.
