B the Associated Press NEW YORK, July 2.—-New York, @nd 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 its noisiest and at the peak of its enthusiasm Perched on the cushions of an autombile, they made a circuit of the city, which probably was only slightly less exciting then the flight 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 new: papers tossed from the window of the financial district. 9 Crowd Held Bacl Even before the flvers were out of their beds at 9:30 am, a crowd had collected around the deors of the Ritz- Carlt-n Hotel, their headquarter When they finally made their appear- ance in the lobby, remarking that they had slept “fine,” they were applauded by a hundred guests. Outside 2,000 more persons had collected and set up cheers when the two crossed the side- walk to their automobile. Some of the conlookers made a rush to close in «n them, apparently wanting to shake their hands. For a moment the police line gave. but it was reformed quickly and spectators were pushed back into their piaces. Even though Gatty and Post were-ob~ viously refreshed by sleep, by clean linen. shaves and baths, there were still traces cf weariness in their faces.

It was generous and good, even if it was strenuous for a while. To tell the truth, we did not know whether anybody would be out to see us or not until we saw the crowds in the light of the flares as we sailed over the field. Four Tough Stretches.

NEW YORK'S INCOME TAX LAW HELD VALID App-llate Court Upholds Levy on Earnings From Outside of State. B 1he Ascocinted Press NEW YORK. July 2.-—The New York State to tax incoms earned outside its borders has b2en upheld by the appellate division of the Supreme Court. The decision was kanded down late yesterday in a suit brought by John D. Ryan, chairman of the Anaconda Copper Mining Co., who contended that being a legal resident of Montana he could not be taxed in New York ex- cept for income éarned in the State. In 1927 Mr. Ryan filed a non-resident income tax return of $159.810, repre- senting his New York income. Sub- sequently. under protest. he filed a sup- plementary return showing an income of $982.560 from Montana. The State income tax law defines & resident as_one who spends seven months of the 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 Mentana. since he votes there. the position he could not be a resident of two States, he contended that the | income tax law was unconstitutional because it made him a citizen of New York for purpoces of taxztion. The Supreme Court upheld the validity of the law. The amount of tax in- volved was $33,671.

Creshy to Abolish Rotary M<thod 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 intersoction provided for in the Hoover Muinicipal Code is scheduled to go into efiect soon here. From reliible sources it is learned that a recommendation to that effect is now in the hands of the 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 a letier to Gen. Herbert B.

Sharing their opinion were many traffic_crossing policemen, who stated that the rotory turn was easier | for them.

Upon favorable consideration by the Commissioners, which is almost & 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.

Covering the week ending June 30 the report showed that the Reichsbank on Jun: 27 had drawn more than 312.- 000000 marks (about $76.320.000) against 420,000,000 marks (about $100,- 800,000) of rediscount credit placed at its disposal by intarnational banks of issue for the short term ending July 16. Uses Up Al Credit. Since the banks gave cut an addi- tional 10,000,000 marks in foreign cur- rency between June 27 and this morn- ing, it was assumed in financial circles the rediscount credit had been further |drawn against for a s'milar amonnt. This would mean that the whole redis- count credit had besn uzed 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.- 000,000 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- pelled to resort to credit restriction measures. | Perilous 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 a tragic, end.
