 POLICE NO PARKING SIGNS
Authority Extended By New State Law to Be Used for
 First Time.

The first local matter coming un- der the new state law which places the authority for traffic and parking regulation in cities and towns with the police department, to the eX- Clusion of legislative bodies, is the proposed placing of no-parking signs on Orchard street.

 In the meantime, however, the state law became effective on July l, and the ordinance committee will rccommened to the council at the July meeting that the matter he turned over to the police depart ment.

LOW LEGISLATIVE
 PAY UNBELIEVABLE
Washington League Amazed At
 Connecticut Salary

Hartford. July F tP) - The emolument which Connccticuts general assemblymen receive for riloting the legislative dcstinies of the state is apparently so paltry as to be unbelievable to the American Taxpayers league of Washington, D. C., now engaged in compiling national survey on such matters.
 Question Figure
 In reply, at any rate. to Comp trollcr Frederick W. Salmon's in formation on Nutmeg legislative stipends. the manager of the league comments
 "A compensation of $50 year seems to be so low, and makes such a terrific drain on members that we are inclined to verify it., and ask what allowance, if any, is made for expenses of telephone, telegraph, stcnographic hire, sta- tionery, postage, and so on.'
 The answer which Comptroller Salmon will make of course is that Connecticut solons get flat $500 for their two year terms, with no side line allowance except the 10 cents a mile each way daily travelling eX- pense, for each day of attendance at the session.
 What, on the other hand, mem- bcrs of the legislative bodies Of oth- CT states do for themselves in the way of cash compensation, is shown in the preliminary report of the leagues survey, sent to Mr. Salmon. The members of the lower house in the Massachusetts assembly get s. 900 year. plus S420 a mile one way each session, for travelling expenses.
 New York Well Paid
 New York legislators do even bet ter, and receive $500 a year for their services, plus 10 cents mile one way each session In Pennsyl- vania, they achieve S3,000 for bl- ennial session. plus S150 for postage and $50 for postage in case ot a special session. Even in Maine, a $500 salary is eked out with foun- tain pen three newspaper subscrip- tions and SlO for postage stamps. New Hampshire seems to be about the only state in the same class with Connecticut There they get only s2OO for the biennial session, and may walk to the capitol, so far as the state Is concerned.

FEWER L0ANSLEAD | ID BULL MOVEMENT
Utilities and SteelS Rocket Up-
 WardS-Call Money Firm

New York, July 12 CPt-With several of the industrials, particular ly steels, the bull party celebrated the first reduction in brokerage loans since late May on the stock market today.
 Although the reduction was only indicating that the gain of about S4S5, 100000 during June was due largely to the exercise of rights Of heavy new security offerings
 The upturn, which took about two score of issues up to more than 20 points to record levels, was too vio- lent to hold, however, and consider able profit taking broke out in the early afternoon. when the bears launched another drive on the motors. Call money still held at per cent and a less favorable jc- velopment in the overnight news was the federal reserve condition statements, showing that in the past week the New York banks had not reduced their heavy mid-year bor- rowings at the reserve institution, and promising, Wall street believed, comparatively firm money for seV- eral days more.
 A conspicuous feature of tn" days news was the June copper statistics, showing that producers were meeting with some success in curtailing output, as production was cut by 3 per cent. Smaller ship monts, however. resulted in 13,000 ton gain in stocks during the month. Buoyance of Youngstown Sheet and Tube was accounted for by the declaration of 20 per cent stock dividend.
 Commercial Solvents was high f1ier, mounting over 20 points to record price.
 ;. S. Steel was sent up points to a record price at 205, 40 points above it's 1929 low. and such shares as American Telephone, Bethlehem Steel, Youngstown Sheet and Tube. and Union Pacific, were bid up 4 points and more to record prices Buying of the Utilities was partic- ularIy heavy, several blocks of 10,- GOO to 20,000 shares changing hands.

it had flown approximately 45,000 miles, has consumed nearly 5000 gallons of gasoline and has flown a distance equal to the circumfer- ence of the globe.
 A. E. McManus, one of the back CTS of the endurance flight, revealed that a nonstop flight from Los Angeles to New York and return was being considered for the record
 breaking fliers and their craft It
 was reported A. A. Durant of New
 York had offered the fliers $500
 each if they remained aloft 300
 hours. A fund of s500O has been raised by popular subscription at the airport.
 New Plane Awaits Men Officials of the airport also said that the passenger Buhl Airse-
 dan, en route here from the factory at Marysville, Mich, as a gift to Mendell and Reinhart landed at Clovis, N. M The ship, valued at s13,500. is the latest design turned
 out by the company. It will be flown to Los Angeles today and will land and are rested
 One of Reinhart's boyhood pals in Salm, Ore. has stepped into the flight picture in an important ca pacity, it was revealed. " M. Moffet, one-time chief of the Salem police department head ed the country motorcycle patrol at the field for two nights before he learned that the "Pete" Reinhart who was causing all the excitement
 was the same Pete he knew as a
 youth in Salem.
 "Pete always was an adventurous
 youth" Moffet explained "He
 showed the same nervous energy on the football field back in Salem, and in everything else he did, as he is
 showing now"
 Moffet's voice is hoarse from tell ing thousands of people to stand back there,' or keep away from
 that" but he took pleasure in talk ing about his former townsman. One of "Pete's" first jobs, accord
 ing to Moffet was on the Salem
 motorcycle squad. Then the youth
 thought he could find more excite
 ment as an officer of the Oregon highway patrol.
 Imagination Fired By Flying Reinhart held the state job in pnnd Sho cry indication of settling down to i be a good officer of the law until aeroplanes and their nervy pilots captured the young patrolman' s imagination. "Pete" quit his job and took up the new game of the air Working as a mechanic for a time, he finally learned the art of flying. but still was short of the 200 hours necessary for transport li- cense when he went into the Ange- leno venture with Wendell. Pete would have made fine
 officer Moffet concluded. but as you can see for yourself he is mak- ing a better aviator"
 Experienced airmen, who have marveled and worried alternately as
 the two pilots overcame fog and other obstacles gathered in groups | and talked about the flight. Talk Runs Technical Tn talk ran mostly to technical | flying matters such as oil and gas consumption, the great perform
 ances of the Wright Whrlwind mo-
 tor in the Angeleno, and the game
 ness of Wendell and Reinhart.
 Fellow pilots have ceased to pre-
 dict when the flight will end.
 T have quit guessing on those
 birds one pilot said. We may
 have to shoot them down." Telegrams and letters of congrat-
 ulations were piling up at the air
 port today. Many of the messages
 came from noted aviation leaders.
 Others were from friends of the two ! pilots.
