Lusk, secretary of the Op- erative Builaers' Association, this week, completed a tour of numerous cities in the East and Middle West, where he made a detailed and comprehensive study of zoning regulations and their effect. He spent a month in this sur- vey work for the association and re- ports he gained many new and enlight- ening ideas on the subject. His report to directors of the association will be confidential for the time being. During the tour, Secretary Lusk dis- cussed zoning problems and their solu- tion with William M. Bassett, the noted legal light on this question; Lawson Purdy, New York housing and zoning expert; Alfred Bettman, zoning lawyer, who is drafting a regional planning act for Virginia and Maryland; Col. C. O. Sherrill, city manager of Cincinnati, formerly executive officer of Natlonal Capital Park and Planning Commission and the office of Public Buildings and Public Parks here; Mrs. A. M. Herligy, secretary of the planning commission of Boston; C. W. Kingery, engineer of the regional planning commission of Chi- cago, and many others. He interviewed and studied problems with more than 100 zoning officials, op~ erative builders, mortgage bankers and other experts in related endeavors. * kK * Takes Cruise With Police.

But though he cruised about | h the Chicago police for seven hours one night, nary a call came for help in a homicide case. In short, there were no murders in Chicago during those seven hours.
