GIANT SHAFT PLANNED NOW
 BY JAPANESE
Want Something to Top
 Empire State Building
 or Eifel Tower

TOKYO, June 8.--Japan wants to build a shaft higher than Empire State Building or the Eiffel Tower but
 Tokyo's building ordinance limits the height of structures to 100 feet and besides, no building in Tokyo is permitted to rise higher than the Imperial Palace CThat would make it impossible for or- dinary mortals to lcsk down on the Emperor)
 Promoters hope to get dispen- sation to rear 1,312-foot cylindri- cal shaft in the waters of Tokyo Bay for the Japanese International Ex- position. It would be built of a light alloy, have a staircase and elevator inside it's mural l-decorated walls.
 Radio and a beacon light planned to cap the edifice, would, 1t is point ed out, be important in connection with aviation and air defense.

SLAP LEADS
 HER TO COURT

NEW YORK, June 8.-Louise Lat tarulo, twenty-four made it plain that she objects to being pushed around by subway guards.
 She slaped the face of Frank Kingsley, special officer of the I. R. T., in the Times Square station in the morning rush hour when he prevented her from boarding a Southbound train.
 It seems there is a transcit com mission rule that the rear door of the rear car of southbound trains can be used for exit only. This was the door Miss Lattarulo tried to en- ter.
 When Kingsley stopped her an argument ensued and the face-slap- ping took place.
 Miss Lattarulo was booked on a charge of simple assault.
