AUTO PARKING BAN FOR H. 5. STUDENTS
Strip on BaSSett Street Placed
 in Restricted Zone

The administration of the Senior High school today adopted a policy forbidding students and teachers tc park their automobiles on the west side of Bassett street while attend. ing sessions of the school.
 Complaints have been received by Principal Louis F. Slade from time to time from property owners or the street. Many students of the school have thoughtlessly parked their cars in front of driveways or directly in front of front entrances to the homes.
 Several weeks ago Principal Slade asked the students at an assembly tc try to be more careful about where they left their cars when in school This request has gone unheede ed and the school administration has finally had to prohibit the parking ot automobiles in that area.
 The administration has also an. nounced that the parking of stu. dents and teachers automobiles will be permitted by the school depart. ment on the north side of Rock. well avenue, adjoining the Rockwell school.
 Every year the number of stu dents and teachers owning automo- piles has increased until traffic prob. lems have arisen. This is a far cry from the day when the only traffic problem of the high school was ere. ated by riders of bicycles. The ad. ministration of the school found il necessary several years ago to pro. hibit the parking of cars in front o school entrances.

MINOR CLASHES
FEATURE MEET
Brief Session of Reichstag
Indicate Stormy Career
For Legislatures

BERLIN, Oct. 13.-tP-The new
German Reichstag with its radically
realigned membership, convened to-
day for a brief session which had
been preceded by a vigorous clash
between throngs outside OF the Par
lament building and hundreds Of
police set TO guard the meeting.
The ReichStag vas called into
session shortly after 3 d. m. and ad-
lourned until Wednesday at the
same hour. so that its conflicting
party leaders might have opportun-
ity to reconcile their views on a
presiding officer.
The brief session today was pre-
sided over by the Venerable Centrist
Herold, whose 81 years entitled him,
as oldest member, to that honor.
The members of the cabinet, head
ed by Chancellor Bruening, took
their places. not on the ministerial
benches. but on the floor with their
respective patries.
When the white bearded Herold
read his pedigree and requested
any n older than himself to come
forward, the Communists called out:
There's where the Facists missed
their chance" The Communists
continued. With numerous ironical
interruptions. TO try to retard the
business program, but the Fascists
remained quiet. They became DEM
cnstrative only when one OF their
number was nominated one OF the
four temporary secretaries. AS he
took his seat next TO the chairman.
he gave the Fascist salute to his
comrades, in which they all re-
sponded with the customary hail"
and salute.
The session was BY no means de-
void Of incident and today's minor
clashes on the floor gave an inkling
OF wha. might be expected when
legislative matters later should
come before the body.
The roll call had been started
within five minutes after the
scheduled hour Of meeting. This
was interrupted occasionally when
the name Of some leader particular
" hated BY his opponents was call
ed. Jeers would greet his present
in such cases.
In the midst OF the roll call. the
Communist Trogler shouted. out
side working men are being dubbed
to the ground. That's the way the
Reichstag Is openingi"
When the first Fascist. Albrecht.
was called. he responded. Present.
