EXPORT CREDITS
 TO POLAND SURE
Would Facilitate Purchase of Defense Materials
 in Britain

London, July 25.-(UP)-The gov- ernment has offered to guarantee export credits to Poland up to $40,- 00O 000 to facilitate the Polish gov- ernment's purchase of defense mate rials in Great Britain, Sir John Simon, chancellor of the exchequer, announced today in the house of commons.
 The export credits would be in addition to a 25,0O0,000 loan which Britain has offered to Poland for re-armaments. Negotiations over the loan has been delayed because Po- land desires to spend part of the money outside the British empire, for quicker delivery. Britain wants the money spent within the empire. The credits, however, would go for British goods.
 Simon said detailed arrangements were being adjusted between the Polish financial delegation here and the government departments con- cerned. He added that discussion was in progress regarding the possi- bility of a joint British French cash loan to Poland, but regretted that 1t has been impossible to reach an agreement with Poland in time and would ask the necessary legislation to permit the government to act after commons recesses next week for the summer.

AMERICAN BRASS
 PRICES RAISED

The American Brass Company an- nounced a new scale of price for copper alloys, effective yesterday at the close of business. The prices affect all alloys containing 30 per cent or more of copper and of all copper products by h cent. The prices of other alloys remained un- changed, while some pipe and tube prices were lowered on scale basis.
 Although copper sold yesterday in the domestic market at 10% cents a pound, delivered, Connecticut Valley basis, one important custom smelter held to price of 10A cents pound. This re-established the dual price which prevailed earlier this year.
 Sales of domestic copper over the weekend reached 9,704 pounds, which brought sales for the month to 172,329 pounds. With another week to go. there was indication that the sales this month might approximate the total of 180,000 pounds reached in October, 1886.
 In the foreign market, the demand for copper was in fair volume, with the cartel's sales reaching 2,6l4 tons at 10.31 cents a pound, c. 1. f., Euro pean base ports. This price was based on electroylytic wire bar for future delivery. Other sales were re- ported at the full wire bar quotation of 1035 cents.

PARKS OBSERVE | LIQUOR CHANGE
Beer Service at Picnics Available Only to Peo-
 pie at Tables

Strict enforcement of the new liquor selling law which requires that beer at picnics be not served over the bar was noticed at Lake, wood and Quassapaug parks here last Sunday. Service could only be available to persons seated at tables.
 Police were assigned to parks where various outings were in full sway and notified the committees in charge of the sit-down regula tions and also distributed copies of the law. Many of the picnickers called headquarters to find out if the cops knew what they were talking about and found out that they did.
 The State Liquor Commission has instructed the police to see that this new ruling is enforced. There can be no exceptions for lack of fore warning since notice of the change was given some time ago. Then too, when short term permits for picnics permittees were reminded of this alteration.
 Lakewood and Lake Quassapaug in order to meet these requirements at future picnics, intend to install more picnic benches.

PARDON RACKET
 ALLEGED IN MASS.
lO% of Those Granted Were Bought With Cash
 Is Charge

Boston, July 25-(UP)-Nearly 10 per cent of all pardons granted in Massachusetts during the past 10 years were obtained through cash payments, and three former gover- nors ignored" the law in granting some of these releases, 1t was charged today.
 Chairman Jarvis Hunt of the spe- cial state "Pardon-P Racket inquiry commission told the legis- lative legal affairs committee that investigator of 30 of 330 pardons granted showed that money was pad in almost every case." A clergyman-legislator, commis- mission clerk Roland D. Sawyer of Ware, accused the former execu- tives, particularly naming former Governor Charles F. Hurley, of dis- obeying the law in granting pardons for which money was paid.
 Both Investigators sought the committees approval of their com- missions proposed laws to submit all pardons in advance to the glare of "pitiless publicity" and to "plug loopholes" in the law by requiring affidavits to be filed with all par- don petitions showing all cash pay- ments.
 The inquiry commission was cree ated to investigate charges that "a pardon ring" in Massachusetts had
