BANK BUILDING
 FINALLY SOLD
Deeds Filed in Town Clerks Office Today;
 $9I,OOO Sale Price

Sale of the Merchants Trust Co.,, building was completed today when a warranty deed transferring the property from Bank Commissioner Walter Perry to David Halpern of New York was filed today at the office of the town clerk. The sale involved a total price of $91, ,000.
 Acceptance of MT. Halperns offer for the building owned by the closed bank was approved in superior court here last month. A group of stock holders objected for a time but no larger offer was accepted.
 MT. Halpern originally filed de- posit of $l,000 with Commissioner Perry. Then, last week, he filed another 5000 as a guarantee of good faith after he had secured an extension of time to raise the re- mainder of the money Yesterday the $89,000 balance was paid to the bank commissioner, and the sale was consummated. The deed today states that the property was transferred for $1 and "other valuable considera- tions".
 Attorney Max Traurlg represented MT. Halpern, while Assistant Attor- ney-General Walter Walsh repre- sented the bank commissioner. The sale was made through the firm of John c. Herbst & Son.

Attack Launched On
 Cooperative Program Liberty, Free Enterprise Threatened Says Ray Murphy Speaking Before Hartford Rotary Club
 -Collectivism Feared.

The rapidly-growing cooperative movement constitutes an attempt to bring alien principles into the Uni- ted States "by way of the back door," declared Ray Murphy, assist ant general manager of the Associa- ton of Casualty and Surety Execu- tives, in an address before the Hart ford Rotary Club yesterday MT. Murphy charged that the movement
 IS @ threat to the welfare of all
 Americans.
 Individual liberty and free enter prise are threatened by the cooper ative system, said MT. Murphy, and 1t is a threat to every worker. He charged that the cooperative system was used in Russia to give the gov ernment full control of labor, bus mess and industry.
 "The mere growth of co-opera- tion," MT. Murphy said, lis identi- cal with the growth of Socialism. If the whole of the peasantry were organized in co-operatives, we would be standing firmly with both feet on the soil of Socialism. Strictly speaking when a co-op- orator goes to a village and opens a cooperative store, the people take no part in this whatever; but at the same time, guided by their own interests, the people will hasten to try to take part in It..
 "There stands the cooperative system in all its naked reality and 1t Is the system that some persons would implant in America in place of the truly American system Of free enterprise.
 "The cooperative system is re- yealed," MT. Murphy stated, "as a planned program for the complete overthrow of our long tried and true system of private enterprise and free competition working toward @ definite economic muta- ton.
 "The purpose of the co-opera- tive movement is to replace the competitive middleman monop- oly'," Mir. Murphy said, "and that is an admission that strikes deep in the heart of every American. Upon the ability of the middle man to distribute commodities de- bends the prosperity of the work CT and financier alike and the welfare of the middleman is the foundation upon which democ- racy must rest. The middlemen constitute all of those who arc engaged in the distribution of goods, produce and materials, in- cluding those working and serv- icing, between the producer and consumer. The so-called middle men, including their dependents, account for about one-third of the population of the United States.
 "There is a great body of Amer ican citizens that the forcign-con- ceived cooperative plan would re- place. Perhaps one may surmise that the movement would take one-third

form of driveways, in lieu of build- ing garages.
 The meeting of the traffic com- mittee last night was attended by all board members with the excep- tion of Henry w. Minor, and by Supt. of Police William J. Roach, Deputy Supt. Daniel J. Carson, James w. Little of the accident squad, and Sergt. Patrick Foley.
 The board also agreed to regula- ton which would enforce straight traffic through Exchange Place all day, except for buses routed there, or emergencies.
 A regulation which would make many one-way streets to those al- ready established met no opposition. It is understood that about 30 streets will be affected.
 Day Parking
 The regulation which encountered the stiffest opposition was one con- cerning parking restrictions during the day. This measure, which would provide a general three-hour park ing limit on all streets in the city which are not already covered spe- officially by other limits, was strong ly opposed by Commissioners Wen- dell Cross and Patrick Periello. Commissioner Cross held out for a five or seven hour limit, while Com

 Then, 1t seems proper to surmisc, they would replace the 'liquidated middlemen by a new set of their own choosing who would, in the words of Lenin, deceive the people into believing they were the pro- prietors of cooperative system in which they would, in reality, have no part.

measure. which will prohibit park ing on Waterbury streets from the hours of 2 to 2 a. m. will undoubt- edly give rise to a storm of pro- tests which will extend over a period of months until Nov. l, when the regulation becomes effective.
 No opposition was shown by board members as they met last night to discuss this and other sweeping changes in the city traffic system. The complete list of the changes Is not available from traffic authorities for publication. It will be available, however, as soon as the regulations became an accomplished fact.
 Those Affected
 The all-nlght parking ban, which met with no opposition from board members, would primarily affect:

Sergeant
 missioner Periello supported a i've hour limit.
 Superintendent Roach said this three-hour regulation would be en- forced principally on complaints which, he said, he has been receiv- ing regularly from people on resi- dential streets where there are nc specific regulations. The measure the superintendent said, would give police power to act, whereas they can do nothing now.
 Commissioner Cross objected to q regulation on the books which would not be enforced at all times. and suggested that instead of passing q general ban, traffic authorities should act specifically on each street. Commissioner Periello ob- jected to the proposed measure on the grounds that three-hour limit is too short. Factory workers, for example, would not be able to come ut of their shops at three-hour in- tervals to move their cars, he said.
 Night Parking
 Tn the matter of all night park ing, Superintendent Roach read let ters from traffic authorities in Hart ford, New Haven, Bridgeport and New Britain, where, according to the letters, the restriction has worked smoothly, and efficiently.
 The proposed regulations, accord- Ing to Superintendent Roach, are based in general on the model or- dinance drawn up by the National Safety Council. The new regulations, he said, were also specifically based on a survey conducted by his de- partment over a period of two years.
 The new regulations, 1t is under- stood, will be passed by the police board sa traffic rules, rather than by the board of aldermen as city or- dinance.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2-Last Sat-
urday, after only three hours sleep,
dusky John Borican broke an H.
year-old Boston Garden record for
1000 yards in his first race on a
banked track. This Saturday, after
a good nights rest, he will run
two-thirds of a mile on the new
Millrose A. A. track at Madison
Square Garden, and there's no tell
ing what may happen.
The only prediction it's safe to
make is that he'll probably win
from a field that includes Gene
Venzke, Leslie MacMitchell and
Indiana's Mel Trutt. In fact, Carl
Merner, the Columbia coach, be-
lieves that in a very short time the
track seasons newest sensation will
be winning everything he goes into,
from a quarter mile up to a mile.

runner in the country today" says
Merner, who supervises Borican's
workouts on the Columbia outdoor
board track. Look at his per-
formances-2:12.6 for that 1000 in
Boston and on poor track. $50 or
better for the half mile, 479 for 400

LAKELAND. Fla, Feb. 2.-An
aggregation Of major league stars
such as seldom gets together of the
diamond started firing here today in
qualifying tests of the annual base
ball players golf tournament.
A score or more players who put
as much punch behind drive as
they do in lifting one over the
fence set out to try for a berth in
the championship flight and shot
at Paul Chg Poison Waner, the
Pittsburgh Pirate outfielder, who
won last year.
Two 18-hole qualifying rounds
were scheduled today. Match play
will start tomorrow with the first 16
assigned places in the title flight.
Waner, rated one of the best
linksmen among the baseballers,
was strong favorite to repeat, but
in his path stood such formidable
opponents as Yves Ferrell, the New
York Yankee pitcher, who won the
inaugural tournament at Sarasota
in 1896; Jack Russell, Chicago Cubs
moundsman, and Heinie Manush,
Brooklyn outfielder.
Also in the running we're Joe
