Miss Ina Priest and MT. Harry I. Lucas, teller at Behrends bank, were married on the morning of this day in a ceremony at the home of Mrs. James H. King, sister of the bride.

Miss Priest, one of the most popular members of the local younger set, had taught school at Thane for two years and at Juneau for one year. The groom had been in Ju- neau about three years.

This Needs Investigation.

What is the whole story behind the
curious difference of opinion regarding
the technical nomenclature of elevators
which has developed as the result of a
tragic accident involving the death OF
boy?
Have we an elevator inspection serv-
ice at the District Building that goes
around installing safety devices after,
instead of before, such fatal accidents?
Have we an elevator inspection service
more efficient at finding ways to blame
the wording of regulations than finding
ways to prevent elevator accidents?
The Commissioners should get busy.
They should get at the bottom of the
difference OF opinion over whether an
elevator is to be known as full auto
matte" or ''semi-automatic, determine
whether that difference of opinion has
been created out of thin air and perhaps
find some new elevator inspectors.
The thirteen-year- ar-old boy who lost his
life in an elevator accident recently was
apparently caught between the elevator
door and the door to the shaft and crushed
to death The regulations require that
for full automatic" elevators there shall
be a maximum distance of one inch
between the elevator door and the land
ing threshold. If the elevator is not
full automatic" a greater distance is
permissible.
Elevator inspectors, put on the carpet
by the fatal accident because they
approved installation of the elevator,
contend the elevator in question is semi
automatic" But the elevator expert OF
the Bureau of Standards, recognized as
an authority, testified that he never
heard of any such distinction between
full automatic" and semi automatic"
elevators as that raised in this case
by the elevator inspectors. The buSi-
ness agent for the Elevator Con-
structors' Union says he never heard OF
"semi- automatic" elevator, although he
had heard the term applied to elevator
doors. The elevator was described in the
an automatic push-button" elevator,
with nothing said about "semi-auto-
matte"
When did this controversy over terms
originate? Has it ever been brought for
ward before? Was there any agitation
for clarifying the regulations before this
late accident? Is the blame really with
the regulations or is the trouble traceable
to lax inspection and efforts to cover it
up by involved phraseology?
These are questions the Commissioners
should determine Immediately. There
should be a thorough investigation OF
this business, not by the elevator in
SpectorS, but by the Commissioners. 1t
is important enough for that.

Finland is next on the list of foreign

not extensive. In recent years they
have sold us only some S9,0OO,OO0 or $l0,-
100000 worth of goods annually and
bought over here something more than
half that amount. Because of Finland's
unique record in being the only one OF
Uncle Sans war debtors to keep clean

here to give her the most generous sort
of a trade deal that conditions permit.
Hitherto Germany and Great Britain
have supplied the lions share OF goods
imported into Finland. Lumber, farm

OF the various danger spots with
which the Far East bristles, none exceeds
in explosive possibilities the situation
controlled Manchukuo and the former
Chinese province of Outer Mongolia.
Nominally an autonomous state under
Chinese suzerainty, Outer Mongolia gov
erns itself on the Soviet model and to
all intentS and purposes is a Russian
territorial outpost.
At the end of last week, as the after
math of a fresh series of clashes be-
tween Mongolian and Japanese-Man-
chukuoan troops, it was announced that
the Soviet and Outer Mongolia have
concluded formal pact of mutual assist
ance. Under it, if Mongolians are
attacked by Japan, the Russians will

Premier Hirota told foreign newspaper

as he heads the japanese government,
"there will be no war" He indicated
that chronic conflict in the Mongolian
area would be abolished through diplo-
matte negotiation and clear demarcation
of the border which has been the occa-

assurances. renewed clashing, with Incl

Whether it is due to Spring fever,
President Roosevelt'S absence from
Washington, presidential campaign pol
itics. or what not, events in Congress are
marked at the moment by almost un-
precedented midterm dullnesS. Except
for occasional f1are-ups from Senate or
House investigations, like the lobby and
Townsend plan inquiries, Capitol Hill
these days is doing little to rate the front
page. Things are expected to hven up
when the tax bill and relief proposition
emerge from the committee stage ana
provide opportunity for political sniplng
on the part of Republican sharpshooters.
There's an outside chance, too, that
Democratic insurgency, both on taxa
ton and relief, may produce spectacular
developments. Administration stalwarts
like Senator Pat Harrison are persuaded
that eventually F. D. r. will have his way
on the revenue measure, despite the
overhauling it has just suffered In the
WAYS and Means Committee. But, as
was indicated by rejection of the Florida
ship canal appropriation and opposition
to curtailment of the c. c. c., New
Dealers in Congress cannot absolutely be
relied upon for rubber-stamp support OF

ready to become an avowed candldate.
Vandenberg has hitherto rejected all I'M
portunities in that direction. He has
persiStently declined either by word or
deed to do anything that could portray
him in the role of an aSpirant for the
prize to be awarded at Cleveland In

ceived the impression that If the con-
vention were to turn to him as COM
promise choice, he would not refuse the
nomination, but they have not sue
ceeded in budging him from the posi-
ton that he will lift no finger to bring
about any such result. Vandenberg Is
supposed to be in the good graces OF both
Hoover and Borah. In the event OF
