new YORK'S INCOME
TAX LAW HELD VALID
Appellate Court Upholds Levy on
Earnings From Outside
of State.


NEW YORK, July 2.--The right of
New York State to tax income earned
outside it's borders has been upheld by
the appellate division of the Supreme
Court.
The decision was banded down late
yesterday in a suit brought by John
D. Ryan, chairman of the Anaconda
Copper Mining Co., who commended that
being legal resident of Montana he
could not be taxed in New York ex-
cept for income earned in the State.
In 1927 Mr. Ryan filed a nonresident
income tax return of $159810. repre-
senting his New York income. Sub
sequently. under protest. he filed sup
Elementary return showing an income
Of 1892 $50 from Montana.
The State income tax law defines q
resident as one who spends seven
months of tie taxable year within the
State. Although he said he maintained
an Office in New York and spent more
than seven months of each year here,
Mr.. Ryan argued his residence was
Montana. since he votes there. Taking
the position he could not be resident
of two States, he contended that the
income tax law was unconstitutional
because it made him citizen Of New
York for purposes of taxetion.
The Supreme Court upheld the validity
of the law. The amount of tax in
volved was $3367l.

Reichsbank Report
Shows Hoover Plan
Delay Is Dangerous
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
BERLIN. July 2.-While await ns the
outcome OF negotiations in Paris over
the Hoover debt proposals. GERMANY
studied with more than usual interest
the weekly report of the Reichsbank
published today.
Covering the week ending June 30
the report showed that the Reichsbank
on June u had drawn more than 3d.
100000 marks (aoout SIC. 800. 00O)
sgainst 100000 900 MARKS about $780,
800, 000) of rediscount credit placed at
its disposal by international banks OF
issue for the short term ending July Is
Uses Up All Credit.
Since the banks gave cut an addi-
tional 10000, 900 marks in foreign cur
rency between June 81 and this morn
ing. It was assumed IN financial circles
the rediscount credit had been further
drawn against for similar amonnt.
This would mean that the whole redis-
count credit had been used up to tide
the bank over the end Of the half-year
demands.
While the very fact that the banks of
issue extended credit amounting to 420,-
900 900 marks was said to indicate that
such an amount was expected to be
needed, nevertheless it was declared TO
be apparent that the Reichsbank was
again near the danger line. If this
should be passed it would be COM
PEELED to resort to credit restriction
measures.
PeriIOus Situation Seen.
In financial circles it was pointed
out that If the uncertainty over the
Paris debt negotiations is prolonged a
perilous situation is likely to result.
The general behavior of the Bourse
today, however, indicated that there is
general confidence that the Paris con-
ferences will reach a satisfactory, or
at least not tragic, end While the
opening of the exchange was irregular,
there seemed no eagerness to sell and
gains of two or three points later were
general.

CENTER LEFT TURN
WILL Be RESTORED
Van Duzer Asks Gen. Crosby
to Abolish Rotary Msthod
in Favor of Old Way.
BY G.. ADAMS HOWARD.

Abolition of the rotary left -hand
turn and the adoption of the turn
from the center of the intersection
provided for in the Hoover Municipal
Code is scheduled to go into effect
soon here.
From reliable sources 1t is learned
that a recommendation to that effect
is now in the hands of he District
Commissioners. The recommendation
is said to have been made bv William
A. Van Duzer newly appointed direc-
tor OF the department OF vehicles and
traffic This action of the new traffic
head was taken in the form of letter
to Gen. Herbert B. Crosby, put in the
mails yesterday afternoon and consti-
tuted the first official act Of Mr.. Van
Duzer.
1t has boen understood that for
some time Gen. Crosby has been in
favor OF the restoration Of the old
left-hand turn. Formal action By the
Board of Commissioners Is expected
to follow the recommendation of Van
Duzer, backed by Gen. Crosby.
Will End Long WrangIe.
This step taken by Mr.. Van Duzer
ends long controversy among the mo-
toring interests of Washington. The
American Automobile Association, the
Washington Automotive Trade AsSocia-
ton. the American Motorists Associa-
ton and various traffic committees of
the Board of Trade and other
groups have been on record for a
long time favoring the uniform turn
new almost universally adopted in the
leading cities of the United States.
Cleveland. Ohio. has been the only 9TH
er large city along with Washington to
keep the rotary turn.
The former director of traffic. Will
liam H. Harland, and his assistant.
NJ o. Eldridge, have fought bitterly
any change almost since taking Office
They maintained that it was not In
the interests of safety. and even went
so far as to predict rapid Jump in
traffic fatalities should a change be
made. Sharing their opinion were
many traffic crossing policemen. who
stated that the rotory turn was easier
for them.
1t is believed that Mr.. Van Duzer
has had in mind this change for a
long time--ever since he was appointed
and therefore 1t is not surprising tina;
this step was one of his first duties.
Will Turn on First Go"
A short time ago Mr.. Van Duzer I'M
dertook an engineering survey of the
city and announced that he planned
no radical changes for the present.
The proposed change in the left-hand
turn and the plan for an automobile
title law comes outside this plan, it Is
understood.
Upon favorable consideration by the
Commissioners, which is almost a
foregone conclusion, and the proper ad-
vertisement of the new regulation. the
method for making a left-hand turn
will be the same at all intersections OF
the city. whether controlled by lights
or policemen. or not controlled at all.
Drivers wishing to make turn to
the left on streets controlled will pull
up to the center of the intersection
stop and await the green light or the
sign GO" from the policemans signal.
Then the left turn can be completed.
On uncontrolled streets the vehicle will
give way to through traffic and when
the way is clear complete the turn.

NEW YORK, July New York,
and the millions who are a part
of it, gave to two tired men today
the spectacular sort of welcome
which is reserved for spectacular
guests.
Wiley Post and Harold Gatty,
back in the city after girdling the
globe in less than nine days, found
New York at it's noiSieSt and at
the peak of its enthusiasm.
Perched on the cushions of an
autombile, they made circuit of
the city, which probably was only
slightly less exciting than the
fight itself.
There were crowds all along the
route-hoW many hundreds of
thousands no one dared estimate
There was the usual cheering, the
usual sirens, the usual quantities
of ticker tape and torn news
papers tossed from the windows
of the financial district.
Crowd Held Back.
Even before the flyers were out OF
their beds at $50 am, crowd had
collected around the doors of the Ritz
Carltcn Hotel. their headquarters.
When they finally made their appear
ance in the lobby, remarking that they
had slept fine" they were applauded
by hundred guests. Outside 1000
more persons had collected and set up
cheers when the two crossed the side
walk to their automobile. Some of the
cnlookers made rush to close in IN
them, apparently wanting to shake
their hands. For moment the police
line gave, but it was reformed quickly
and spectators were pushed back into
their places.
Even though Gatty and Post were-ob-
viously refreshed by sleep, by clean
linen. shaves and baths, there were
still traces CT WEAKNESS in their faces.
Gatty had changed into light tan
suit, tan shirt with blue tie. and tan
shoes. Post, more conservative, wore
r dark blue suit, d blue shirt and blue
polkadot tie.
The crowds which gathered around
the entrance to the hotel attracted the
attention of motorists. and they Jagged
in tneir paths in an attempt to see the
flyers. AS a result traffic on Forty-fifth
and Forty-siXth streets. and for several
blocks on Fifth and Madison avenues,
was almost at standstill. 1t re-
