You passed away one year ago,

But now you're with your Saviour
Where all is bright and CHEEKY.
We miss you every single day
Our hearts are ever lonely
But we know you're waiting over

To meet US in the morning.
Mother, you can count on us,
AS Christ, the Saviour leads the

For we are trusting Him and waiting
And we'll see you soon, some day.

zoning Unit Sued 10 Lift
Ban on Apartment House

A suit seeking q preliminary in
junction against the District Zoning
Commission to halt enforcement OF
q rezoning order that would prevent
erection OF . 240-unit apartment
house In the Crestwood section,
Northwest, was filed in District
Court yesterday.
Harry Poretsky. 1912 Iowa avenue
NV, brought suit against the three
District Commissioners, David Lynn,
Capitol architect, and Newton B.
Drewry, director of public buildings,
as members Of the commission.
Mr.. Poretsky' told the court he had
entered into contract to purchase
2-acre plot In the section. on
which to erect the apartment build
ing, but that in the meantime the
Zoning Commission changed the
status Of the plot from residential A
to A restricted, which does not per-
NIT erection Of apartments.
The commission issued the order
November 7, 1941. Mr.. Poretsky
charged that the order was not valid
on the grounds that Arthur E.
Demaray had sat in with the COM
mission as a substitute for Mr.
Drewry, although the law does not
provide for substitutes to sit in on
cases.
Mr.. Poretsky also told the court he
had already deposited $4,000 toward

PROTECTING SERVICE VOTES
 (NeW York Sum

A bill now before Governor Leh- man creates State War Ballot Commission, bipartisan in mem- bership, and makes provision for registration and voting by voters in domestic or foreign military service. To permit mailing or ballots to ser- vice men in distant posts the bill advances the dates for the state convention for nominating candi- dates, for filing certificates for party nomination and for filing petition for independent nominations.
 Voting rights of possibly a quar- ter of a million New York men may be affected by the provisions of this bill, under it's terms accurate ballots can be mailed before Sep tember 9 to men in the service. Ballots marked by men in service in the United States must be re- turner not later than the Friday before election day, but ballots cast by men in overseas service may be returned up to December 10. In a close election the outcome might be determined by the votes of service men. The bill has earned widespread approval as a substitute for existing law, which does not allot enough time for ballots to be sent to and returned by service men who are now stationed in posts all over the world.

Dewey Again?

Recent maneuverings indicate a possi- bility that President Roosevelt's home state may elect Republican governor next November for the first time in two decades. Governor Lehman has taken himself out of the picture with a decli- nation as final as any in politics since William TecumSeh Sherman in 1884 de- clined a potential Republican nomination Tor President in words popularly quoted:
 'sIf nominated will not accept;
 If elected will not serve"
 Thus, probably deliberately, MT. lehman has thrown the door wide open Tor ambitious New York Democrats to yeek the party's nomination. And in the opinion of political veterans, he has con- eeded defeat in his attempt to make his Heutenant-governor, Charles Poletti, his successor. Under such circumstances lew doubt that Attorney General John J. Bennett, Jr., has an inside track from which it will be hard for anybody to run him out. Bennett still possesses the qualifications for which he was selected Driginally: he is New York City Cath Dlic World War Veteran with Protest lnt-sounding name. But Bennett, with Ill his strength in his party, is not con- Edered by students of politics to approach Governor Lehman in popular appeal. And Lehman managed to beat Thomas E. Dewey four years ago by less than 65,OO0 votes out of more than 100000 cast.
 Governor Lehman won only because he was the darling of the American Labor party The LaboriteS gave him six times as many votes as his margin over Dewey Without that partys formal nomination and whole-hearted support, he would have been beaten. On the other hand, it appears to be taken for granted that MT. Dewey is going to be the Republican candidate. Already the campaign in his interest has been opened by powerful party leaders. If the gubernatorial race proves to be between Tom Dewey and Jack Bennett, there are lot of canny analysis who feel that Dewey will win.
 This possibility, and the logic behind it, is of national interest for two reasons. First, because such a Democratic defeat in New York should not be interpreted as a repudiation of President Roosevelt's war policies The conflict will be one Of personalities and of relatively local issues Second, because Dewey victory unques- tiOnably would set the stage for an at tempt on his part to obtain the Republl- can presidential nomination in 1914. If he loses the governorship, his political star will drop fast. If he wins, the Dem- ocratic national command can guess what sort of opposition it will face two years from now.
