Also, he said, "more will be accomplished for Jefferson County if we elect local candidates who will work with Mr. Breathitt and not against him. "Our candidates have had experience which the other candidates have not had, and I am confident they will win by substantial majorities."

Robert Peter, said the 88-acre tract near Hounz Lane Park was purchased for from Wakefield-McMakin Realty Company, trustee of an estate which included the property. troversy on how the rolling acreage would be developed in the area bounded by U.S.

42, Happy Hollow Road, Covered Bridge Road, and Harrods Creek. The commission also approved apartment and commercial zoning within the tract, subject to final action by Fiscal Court, and granted a special use for a sewage-treatment plant. The subdivision will be developed by the Hunting Creek Company, headed by Louisville realtor Paul Semonin. To Have 1,000 Homes Semonin said the company has agreed to purchase 325 acres in tne souinwesrern section of the tract where the first development will begin. Options to buy have been obtained on the remainder, he said.

The subdivision eventually will have about 1,000 homes in the class, Semonin said, along with apartments and row houses. It will be one of the largest developments in the county. The commission must approve detailed plans of each individual section as development proceeds. Hunting Creek will have a central commercial area, an 18-hole golf course, two church sites, a boat club on Harrods Creek, and a sledding hill for winter sports. Semonin said work on the first nine holes of the golf course will proceed immediately.

A clubhouse, swimming pool, and tennis courts for Hunting Creek Country Club are being designed by Augustus Doumas, St. Matthews. No Opposition Expressed There was no opposition expressed to the plan yesterday, in sharp contrast to extensive opposition which arose in 1961 and 1962 when another, plan called Heritage Hills was pro posed for the larm.

Cook asked for comment last week on the use of the river-boat as proposed by the Japanese. He received about 25 replies, of which about half favor the idea and half oppose it. Officials will be guided by the poll to a certain extent but not completely, Cook said. Any rental of the boat to the Japanese still must be negotiated. Cook declined to make public the comments made to him in the poll.

He said prison sentences have to "fit the situation and iWmk for lots, the smallest authorized under subdivision regulations. Nearby property owners objected strongly. The commission reluctantly approved the plan in March, 1962, and opponents filed suit in Circuit Court. Circuit Court upheld the approval, and the case is now before the Court of Appeals.

But the appeal became I moot question yesterday, both by action of the commission in rescinding its approval tf it and by a letter from Cooke requesting withdrawal of the Heritage Hills plan. Follows Land Contour The current plan, drawn by the engineering firm of Miller, Wihry Brooks, follows the natural contour of the land. Lot sizes range from 32,000 down to 11,000 square feet. The commission, whose staff had informally worked with the engineers in drawing the plan, was obviously pleased with the plan. In other actions, the commission: 1.

Recommended denial of change in residential zoning and a special-use permit for an amusement park, commercial fishing, and camping area on McNeely north of the County's McNeely Park. Opponents submitted a petition said to be signed by 43 people. 2. Approved a sewage-treatment plant north of Urton Lane east of Pope Lick Road in Melody Hills subdivision. Eight nearby residents appeared to oppose its location.

3. Recommended denial of commercial zoning to permit a bank and a service station adjacent to Bon Air Shopping Center. A petition said to signed by 100 residents of Bon Air Estates opposed the rezon- ing. The commission also recommended approval of changes from residential to commercial zoning on Poplar Level Road opposite Clarks Lane, on Cane Run Road east of Lower Hunters Trace Road, and south of Watterson Expressway east of Preston Highway. A special use for extending a trailer park at the Cane Run Road location also was approved.

Denial of residential-to-commercial zoning was recommended on Kurtz Avenue between Blue Lick Road and Harned Avenue, and on Lovers Lane west of Billtown Road. A change from apartment to commercial denied for the northwest corner of 22d and St. Xavier, as was a change from residential to apartment off Bardstown Road northwest of Sieger Court. Plan Is Approved Approved' was a preliminary plan for Sun Gold Estates, west of Shepherdsville Road north of Cross County Highway, as well as a change from industrial to residential zoning. A request for a change in apartment zoning on Virginia east of 28th Street to permit a funeral home was denied.

The commission also approved a change in industrial zoning to permit filling and storage of oxygen tanks on Hugh Avenue east of Illinois; a change from industrial to apartment zoning for a parcel at Samuel and Dandridge Streets, and a preliminary plan for Indian Forest subdivision on Indian Trail east of Preston Highway. Foreign Aid Cited In Belle Dispute Would use of the publicly owned Belle of Louisville to advertise Japanese products be more unfair to taxpayers than use of federal funds for aid to foreign nations that compete with the United States in trade? County Judge Marlow W. Clarke, an attorney, was appointed to the post by Foster Ockerman, Democratic state campaign chairman, upon recommendation of the Jefferson County Democratic Executive Committee. The committee's recommendation was announced by chairman Raymond F. Boss-meyer after a meeting in city-county Democratic headquar-ters at 133 S.

Fourth Street. Meyers Chosen Bossmeyer also announced that the committee had chosen William D. Meyers, a former City finance director, to head the Democratic registration drive to be conducted through the headquarters. Bossmeyer said the drive, while general, will be aimed particularly at the registration of young Democrats who will be 18 by election day. It will be intensified, he said, between August 1 and September 7, when the registration books close.

Bossmeyer said 38-year-old Breathitt had a special appeal for the young voter in the Democratic primary. Breathitt, who carried Jefferson County by 18,628 votes over former Governor A. B. Chandler, was a top heavy winner in student polls before the primary. 'A Real Opportunity' Accepting the appointment, Clarke said, "The people of Jefferson County have a real opportunity to work for and vote for Ned Breathitt with Clark-Span Traffic Up 15 Percent Traffic over the three bridges between Louisville and Indiana has increased in recent weeks, with vehicle traffic on the Clark Memorial Bridge up more than 15 percent from midwinter.

A survey released yesterday by the City-County Traffic Engineering Department shows that 338,627 vehicles used the Clark bridge during a seven-day period ending July 1. Dur ing a similar check ending Jan uary 7, the span carried 991 automobiles and trucks. The survey showed these increases for the other bridges for the same periods: Sherman Minton Bridge, from 73,717 to 84,436. Kentucky Indiana Terminal Railroad Bridge, from 245 to 23,993. Tourists Are Factor City-County Traffic Engineer J.

W. Quick said some of the increase could be attributed to summer tourists and some to new real-estate developments in Southern Indiana. Quick said the survey shows that the Clark bridge is carry ing about 1,000 vehicles each hour each way. During peak hours the traffic increases to about 2,000 cars an hour. The new 1-65 bridge being built upstream from the Clark span will ease much of this load, Quick believes.

The new span is scheduled to be com pleted in midwinter. be flexible because people change." The public cannot see the possibility of a criminal reforming, he continued. "They see an act and make a judgment. People do get emotional. I would if somebody stole my car." With regard to probation, the situation is improving, Petty said.

"People find that probation actually works and is much cheaper than sending someone to prison. You save the cost of his upkeep in prison, and also he is earning money and paying taxes. "An estimated 95 to 98 percent of all people in prison eventually come out, but as long as they are institutionalized, their adjustment to society is delayed." Petty praised the U. of Kent School of Social Work for training probation officers and said' the institute there adds to the skills of workers. The institute, attended by 27 probation and parole officials from 12 states, continues through next Friday.

The land has been used for growing wheat and hay. Peter is president of a new firm, Meadow Vale, formed to develop the subdivision. The first section of 88 homes is being developed. Two other sections will be developed later. Peter said model homes will be ready next month.

He said that "country-style homes in the class" will be built. The average lot in the subdivision is 70 by 125 feet. Groups of lots will be available to builders for development, Peter said. Planned Near Dixie A 120-home subdivision is planned on a 40-acre site fronting on the north side of Greenwood Road west of Dixie Highway. The tract was purchased by Jeffco Corporation from Samuel and Emma Beahl for It was subsequently transferred to a related firm, R.

T. Developers, for development. It was reported that work on the planned houses, to be in the "moderate" price range, might begin this year. Plant Site Poses Flood Problems New questions have arisen concerning a proposed riverfront site for a Godchaux Sugar Refining Company plant. The cost of developing the property and protecting it from floodwaters would be more than expected, a company official said yesterday.

The official said the firm still has definite plans to build the plant, either on the proposed site or elsewhere in the Louisville area. The final decision on the riverfront parcel, which is outside the floodwall and west of the railroad bridge, is expected soon. In announcing plans for the plant, the New Orleans firm said last month that it would cost $4,000,000 and employ 125 to 150 persons. Shelbyville, July 18. The United States ambassador neck, candy-striped sportshirt while relaxing at his wife family's century-old Moxley Farm near here, discounted the recent bombings of mosques on the Mediterranean island.

"It's just local politics," Fraser Wilkins said. Perhaps politics of a more violent nature than in Kentucky, but still "just local politics." In fact, the ambassador noted, democracy has been running smoothly on Cyprus, despite a population sharply split along national lines and a constitution that is highly complicated. Born In Nebraska Wilkins, a Nebraskan by birth but a Kentuckian by mar. riage, has been this country's chief diplomatic representative in Cyprus ever since the coun try won independence from the British August 16, 1960. A 1931 graduate of Yale University and later an enr ployee of Frankfort Distil leries in Louisville, Wilkins joined the Foreign Service in 1940.

He met his future wife, Anne Conyers Bryan, a native of Shelby County, in Washington while he was on State Department duty. They were married here in 1949. Mrs. Wilkins' mother, Mrs. Hamilton Bryan, spends summers at Moxley Farm.

Due In Washington Wilkins, with his wife and two sons, Bryan, 13, and Rob ert Luce, 11, nave been vaca tioning on the family farm since July 9. They will leave Friday for Washington, where the ambassador will consult for several days with State Department officials before return ing to his duties in Cyprus. The 55-year-old career diplo mat explained the complicated Cypriot Constitution between sips of ice water and the noises of his two sons, who were ringing an old "slave bell" and playing "bows-and- Crestwood Boy Crushed By Tractor A 14-year-old Crestwood boy was crushed to death yesterday when a tractor he was driving overturned on Glenarm Road, four miles north of Crestwood in Oldham County. The boy, Jackie Lynn Dun-away, LaGrange Road, died immediately after slipping beneath the tractor about 1:30 p.m., according to Milton Stoess, chief of the South Oldham County Rescue Squad. Gravel Threw Him The tractor was owned by Morgan Klingensus, Crestwood, for whom the boy was working.

The boy was alone and apparently lost control of the tractor in loose gravel at the side of the road, Stoess said. He was a LaGrange native. He would have been a sophomore at Oldham County High School this fall. He was a member of a youth group at Crestwood Christian Church. Surviving are his parents, Mr.

and Mrs. Hubert Dunaway; two brothers, L. K. and Jerry Layne Dunaway; two sisters, Misses Charlene and Brenda and his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs.

Lloyd Payton, New Castle. The funeral will be at 2:30 p.m. Sunday at M. A. Stoess Sons Funeral Home, mmmmmm iiipiiii II IN MA if 0 Slw lll Cook raised that question yesterday in commenting on several letters he has received objecting to the proposed use of the riverboat to display Japanese products along the Ohio and Mississippi rivers in 1965.

One letter said some Japanese items are produced at less than half the local cost of production and their display would tend to cripple local industry and reduce employment Written To Washington? The point is well taken, Cook said. But he wondered if any of the protesters had written senators or representatives in Congress about foreign aid to countries that compete with Louisville.

Bury It, Court Says State Will Study All That Sludge Take the case of the man who meant to shoot his mother-in-law and shot his wife by mistake.

He went to prison for 20 years. When paroled, he was left at Union Station in Los Angeles. He didn't even know how to find the Federal Building, a few steps away. He met Glenn Petty, then a probation officer. Petty showed him how to get on a streetcar, how to find house numbers, and the simple everyday things most people know almost instinctively.

Earlier Release Possible Once the ex-convict got on his feet, he did a "beautiful job" of adjusting to life. The point of the story is, Petty said in an interview here yesterday, there must have been an earlier time when the man was ready for release. Petty, now assistant chief of the United States Probation Service, spoke yesterday at the fourth annual Institute on Probation and Parole Supewlsion The sludge, which covered 75 acres of industrial property, escaped from a ponding area at Air Reduction Chemical Carbide Company. The waste material results from one of that firm's processes. At the Fiscal Court hearing, B.

F. Goodrich Chemical Company contended that its underground water supply would be contaminated if the sludge were buried in the area. Ruby argued that the buried lime would have no substantial effect on ground water. A company spokesman said the sludge might be more of a threat on the surface than under the ground. Members of the Water Pollution Control Commission have previously indicated that they fear that the sludge might pose a threat to ground water in the area.

An investigation of the problem of disposing of the sludge that covers a Louisville industrial area is planned by the State Water Pollution Control Commission. A three-man team is scheduled to start the investigation Monday, commission executive-director Ralph C. Pickard said yesterday. He said the team probably would consist of two sanitary engineers and a chemist. Pickard added that the commission expects to have by1 -Monday the transcript of a hearing that was conducted on the sludge problem by Jefferson Fiscal Court.

Fiscal Court decided to allow Ruby Construction Company to take dirt from a tract at 4401 Bells Lane and bury the carbide-lime sludge that spilled into the area in February..
