Gets Wife as Result
 Of High Pressure Deal

White Plains, N. Y., Sept. 24 LP) Robert J Smith, 5l year old
 merchant of Pleasantville, N. r.,
 has peeve against high pressure
 salesmanship.
 In August. 1929, he told Su-
 preme Court Justice Mack, he
 bought an automobile and when
 the deal was completed found he also had acquired the salesman's sister as a wife. Smith said he didn't want a wife, but the sales man refused to take mo" for an answer.
 The wife, he said, left him the day after the ceremony when he refused to put his house and two cars in her name, although he did pay bills for her amounting to $505. In asking for an annu!- ment, he said, he learned instead of a spinster of 40 she was a widow with two grown children. Justice Mack said since the bride did not oppose the complaint, he would sign the annulment decree.

LIABILITY OF CITY IN SIDEWALK FALLS
 IS CALLED UNFAIR

of their walks in precisely the same way in which they do now, so that there is no reason on grounds of public policy of retaining the pres ent law.
 "The task Of making 300 miles of sidewalks in the city non slippery at all times is impossible of per formance. Instead, the removal Of snow often makes the walks more slippery The problem is not one of snow rem moval-it is keeping side walks from being slippery, It can't be done without the aid of the same natural forces which have caused the slippery condition and no re- liance can be placed on nature 10 undo in a reasonable length of time that which is done in a hurry.
 Petitioners Always Aggrieved
 "The public does not understand what the liability of the city is, but wrongly assumes that it is absolute ly liable in the same way that q life insurance company would be in case the insured died. Consequently. if their claims are rejected. they feel aggrieved and if they are allowed something because of possible li- ability on the part Of the city, they are likewise aggrieved because they do not receive more. The courts say that really there is very little liabil- ity. but notwithstanding the present construction of the statute encour- ages litigation of an unsavory sort. hristling with most amazing contra dictory testimony.
 Tt is doubtless good public pol icy to hold municipalities to a strict accounting for failure to keep high ways free of defects, that is to say. the kind of defects which if seems the legislature had in mind when the statute was originally enacted, but for failure to perform the wellnigh impossible and to encourage litiga- ton where both law and facts are vague and uncertain. I believe the remedy is a more sensible law ap- plicable to the entire state, rather than special statutes applying to particular communities. 1mpeCuni- ous country towns, having few side walks, are liable to be penaIized to an amount sufficient to render them bankrupt. It is becoming a practical question whether municipalities should not go out of the sidewalk business unless the statute be re- pealed"

itself baffled by inadequacy of exist ing American laws to deal with the situation in general. Lack of diplo- matic relations made virtually inn possible the task of ascertaining th, cost of production of the various ar ticles in Russia.
 Under present law the tariff on any article imported could be raised if it were found Russia was selling it here below it's cost of production or below the selling price in Russia This was established only on one article, safety matches. And the dumping act was applied rais- ing the tariff to bring their Ameri- can price into competition with the domestic product.
 Match Price Obtained
 Proof of the selling price of matches in Russia was comparative ly easy to secure because match pro- duction there is a government mon opoly and the selling price high. On other articles, however. neither sale prices nor costs of production could be determined. Complaints from American firms were received that Russia was dumping coal, lumber, pulpwood and manganese into the United States. The treasury ordered lumber and pulpwood barred on the ground it was produced with the use of convict labor-a tariff law clause permits exclusion Of anything into the production of which convict or forced labor has entered-but at hearings held on both products the evidence was held insufficient and the embargoes were rescinded
 While the pulpwood did not com pete with American production it replaced supplies obtained from Canada and was considered indirect ly detrimental to some American in terests. The lumber was said to come into direct competition wit h American production but evidence was adduced that the Russians made careful efforts to separate convict-made lumber for sale in European markets.
 At the treasury hearings it was testified the Russians had chartered about 90 ships to bring pulpwood to i this country, q tonnage exceeded only by that reported hcartered for carrying Russian grain to England and Europe.
 Coal Threat Received 1 The Russian threat to invade the American coal markets, while bringing a protest from anthracit. i dealers, was not regarded as serious
 Treasury officials held that little Russian coal could Sbe delivered tc
 the American seaboard but pointed
 out that it might be used to talk,
 from producers in this country thcli 1 immense Canadian market
 Coal prices and production cost
 in Russia so far have not been as. certained nor has any success beer indicated in the other lines undai investigation.
