 Warsaw, Aug. 30 P-President Noscicki today dissolved the PoliAh parliament, thus placing himself sqnarely behind the militant pre- nler-dfttator. Marshal Joseph Pil- sudski, in the latter's program of constitutional reform.
 Marshal Pilsudski for months has insisted that the present lower house, or sejm and senate are in- possible, A turbulent political cam paign period is now ahead and not until January Is, when a new sejm will be elected and November 23 when senate will be chosen may the world know whether Pilsudski can expect by parliamentary means

 Dissolution of parliament is the third stage in the present conflict between Poland's uncrowned king Pilsudski and the legislative bodies he so cordially hates.
 First he assumed the premier ship on Aug. 25. Then he issued a 5cathing interview denouncing par lament on Wednesday, of this week. Now he has sent the parlia- ment home. It may be taken for granted that he will leave no stone 1nturned to the end that the next ielm and senate will be of such character that it will do his bidding.
