 Generally this authority is dele gated to zoning commissions and the proposed xoning ordnance here provided for the display of adver- tising signs.

HARPER'S FERRY
 ROAD PETITION
(Continued from Page D

In the meantime House Republ- cans in caucus voted to table Sena- tor Culhane's bill making 70 years the maximum for jury members This caucus action was another blow at Republican leadership in the House, already considerably upset over failure to come to an agree ment on the dual job-holding bill. The jury bill has the support of COP leaders and also of Governor Raymond E. Baldwin, as well as judges of the Superior Court.
 Though the house caucus was secret it was learned that strong op- position cropped out against the adoption of 70 years as the maxi mum age for jury members. This was particularly noticeable among legislators from the smaller towns. Faced with rejection house leader ship decided to agree on tabling the bill, which was reported in favor ably by the judiciary committee and passed unanimously in the senate last week.
 Conference Friday
 At his daily press conference this morning Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin said he planned to confer on Friday with the members of the commis- sion in charge of construction of the Home for Feeble-Minded in Southbury. The committee is com- ing in for considerable criticism

Another Fascist
 State Is Born
tcontinued from Page l,

try. Spain's pockets are empty. There will be probably 5,000,O00 or more unemployed. Industry, naviga- ton and trade have faded to bare essentials.
 Millions opposed the Nationalists armies and lost relatives in one of the bitterest fraticidal conflicts of modern times. Even those united behind Franco, such as the Falang- ists (Fascists) and the Raquetes (Monarchists), may revive old quar- rels.
 With his powerful army, Franco appears to be in a position to over- come those difficulties.
 But whether his relations with the rest of Europe can be easily solved remains problematical.
 May Be His Farewell
 The gesture toward Mussolini which Franco made when Italians led the way into Madrid may have been intended as a farewell and thank you tribute to the man who made it possible for the National ists to win the war-if he did not originate it to rid the Mediterranean coast of Communist influenced government.
 But whether the Italians will now depart must yet be demonstrated and especially whether they will give up their important naval and airplane base in the Balearic Is- lands, dominating the Mediterran- can trade routes, while Mussolini is in the midst of quarrel with France.
 Franco needs the financial aid of Britain and France. He needs a long period of peace for recovery. But his debt to both Italy and Germany is large and unpaid. Persistent re- ports have said that he already has secretly agreed to join Italy, Ger many and Japan in their anti Com munist alliance.
 In any event, a totalitarian Spain means that France-Britain's first line of defense-is surrounded on three sides by Fascist-type states.
 Only the trend of the struggle between democratic and dictatorial blocs will show what that means to the peace of Europe.

dictatorial rule in Germany and Italy.
 Juan, son of the former king, may return to the throne eventually as a fgurehead for "El Caudillo.''
 But the position of the future Spain in the international balance of power remains to be determined. Franco has probably million men under arms. The veteran National ist troops, including Gen. Juan Yague's Moroccans, have been test ed by fire as no other army in Europe at the present time. They are hard and sharp after more than two years of conflict and Franco has made 1t clear that the new Spain intends to demand its proper place in the Mediterranean sun.
 Demands Not Yet Clear
 The Spanish ruler has not made clear exactly what he believes that place to be and there is no ques- ton that he will have his hands full with the tremendous task of rebuilding a war-devastated coun-
