Presldent Gay speaks

New York, Aug. 1S--(UP)-Ex- cessive government regulation of se- curities exchanges has created "ab+, normal market conditions" ham, pered, the Notation of new corpor- ate issues, and driven trading ac- tivity abroad, Charles R. Gay; pres- ident of the New York stock ex- change charged today in his annual report.
 "A broad and liquid national market is being impaired so that 1t does not function freely" Gay said, land it follows that it may cease to function in time of stress. Then, indeed, the public interest is being harmed"
 Gay suggested a reappraisal of existing market conditions to de- termine the degree to which the pulp lie welfare is being servedyp as a, result of federal supervision and regulation.
 The report gave particular erm- phasis to marrow, illiquid" markets in which wide spreads between bid an dasked quotations on stock pre- vail and in which comparatively small volume of buying or selling creates undue fluctuations in prices.

Who's Going To Do Something With
 The Weather
There are those who claim fig-

There are those who claim fig gures don't lie. But 1t seemed doubtful today whether figures could be truthful when 1t came to measuring Waterbury's weather of the past few days.
 You know, cool nights, hot days, rain that should cool the air, fol- lowed by humidity such as today's. What, If any, is the reason for this tropical-arctic twisting of the little red blob that bobs up and down in the household thermome- ter?
 There isn't any, according to the records. Take last year, for in stance. An Aug. 1S, 1886, there was a high mark in terms of change with a minimum temperature or 54 and a maximum of 88.5 de- grees. The year before, 1885, shows that the maximum temperature was 8 degrees, the minimum 60, only 28, degrees change as against 34.5 degrees change in 1886.
 The same date in 1884 showed a 23-degree change; in 1883, a 2l- degree change; in 1882, a 16-degree change; and in 1881, a 24-degree change. Which proves nothing.
 But yesterday Shere was a max imum of 90 degrees and a mini mum of 6S degrees last night. At g. a. m., today, it was "A degrees, according to the official ther- mometer of J. R. Walker, plumb ing inspector at the city hall. And at noon it had moved to an 85-de- gree mark, this in spite of brief heavy rainfall early today.
 The answer to the discomfort which affects all in Waterbury has to be found in the same prosaic manner of other times. Tt can't be the heat; 1t must be the hu- midity."
 You're right. That's the answer,

WILKINS JOINS ARCTIC SEARCH
Sir Hubert Will Leave New York With Pilot From
 Canada

Washington, Aug. 18-(UP)-So- viet embassy officials announced to- day that Sir Hubert Wilkins, famed Arctic explorer, will fly from New York, accompanied by a Canadian pilot, Herbert Hollick-Kenyon to join the search for the missing So- viet trans-Polar flyers. The flight will begin either tonight or tomor- row, from North Beach airport, New York, it was announced. Wilkins and several other pilots and experts will use a large flying boat fur nished by Richard Archbold, a member of the Rockefeller family. The plane originally was desinged for a flight to New Guinea. The Wilkins expedition will go first tc Toronto, where it will clear customs Thence Wilkins expects to fly by way of Gods lake, Manitoba, to the mouth of the Copper Mine river, on the north coast of Canada.
 Search Plans
 Arrangements for the search are being directed and unified by the famous Arctice explorer, Dr. Vilh- jalmur Stefansson, who was called here by Soviet embassy officials to help.
 The plane is a consolidated PBY type flying boat with a cruising range of 4,000 miles. Dr. Stefans- son said that it resembles the latest type naval bombing planes in gen. eral construction. It is now at North Beach airport in preparation for the flight.
 In the crew which will make the trip will be Russell Rogers, Arch bold's own pilot, who will take the plane at least as far as Toronto. He will be assisted by Russel Brown, engineer, and Gerald Booth, radio operator. In Canada they expect to pick up another co-pilot.
