That the proposal of the Naval
Board to dredge the harbor of
Guam created CONSERVATION in
Japan is certain. The japanese
viewed the recommendation as
positive evidence that the United
States intended to make a firm
stand for it's rights in the Far
East. Japanese strategiSts recog-
nize the increased strength that
the Island would give the Amer
lean fleet if Guam is fortified
into a full-fledged naval base.
Consequently, the japanese are
watching, with some concern,
whatever action Congress event
ually takes in regard to Guam.
There was the suggestion in
! this country that Guam was to
be used as an instrument of di-
plomacy; that the United States
by. preparing to fortify Guam,
would be able to give up its plans
in return for better relations
from Japan. However, in Con-
gress, some members openly
voiced their opposition to the pro-
posal almost solely on the ground
that it might Offend" the jap
anese. AS a result, the Japanese
are likely to regard the vote in
the House as a 'go-ahead" signal
for them in the Far East.

strike, the Chief Justice said that
the seizure of buildings gave a

BINGHAM, Utah, Feb. 9.-Res- cuerS digging in debris of snow avalanche, this morning brought out youth, wrapped in red blan- kets, and alive after buried all night.

Dust Bowl Priest Has Var. iefy 10 Beat Soufh-

WAUKOMIS, Okla. Feb. g. = A priest from an Oklahoma hamlet in the Southwestern dust bowl be- lieves he has created new variety of corn that will grow so fast drought can't catch up with it.
 In the obscurity of his Bison, Okla, parish, Father H. B. Mandelartz has been breeding ancient varieties with more modern types for six years and now he has corn that will ma- ture in the speedy time of 62 days
 This two-month corn could be harvested in early June while south ern temperatures still are mild the crop ordinarily natures in July after April planting.
 In the North, drought usually doesn't strike corn crops that early because the weather is cooler. But in the South corn flourishes in the spring and frequently dies in the heat of summer.
 If the corn Father Mandelartz has perfected will mature in 62 days there is no telling what it may mean to agriculture in Oklahoma and other southern states" said Garfield County Agent J. B. Hurst.
 The Catholic priest, former pro- lessor of biology in Mount Angel college of Oregon, says his corn is hardy. extremely drought resistant and contains all the food elements of varieties maturing in the usual time of from 90 to 120 days.

 Senator Glass said the method chosen is to disregard recommenda- tions of Senators for Federal posi- tions in order to discredit and dis honor" them among their consti- tuents.
 Very recently both Senators Glass and Byrd protested to the nomina- tion of Floyd Roberts to be Federal Judge in Virginia. The Senate al- most unanimously rejected the nom- ination following the protests made by Senators Glass and Byrd.

BUILDING CODE
 WILL PREVENT
 FUTURE FLAMES
Fireproof Elevator Shafts and Stairwdys Provid-
 ed in Regulations

Likelihood of recurrence of a blaze such a occurred yesterday is not very probable under building code res- trictions which operate in the City of Juneau at the present.
 Prime reason why the blaze spread so disastrously in the Goldstein Building fire was due to draft condi- tions provided by the large elevator shaft.
 Building code regulations. as they exist today, stipulate that all eleva- tor shafts must be enclosed in fire proof material and openings con- structed of fire proof doors.
 When the Goldstein Building was constructed 25 years ago building regulations had not reached the point of perfection such as are now known.
 At the time of it's erection the heavy 18 inch concrete walls and the thick timbered laminated floors were supposed to furnish practical
  blaze. Yesterdays fire readily dis pelled this contention and offered proof that the main danger is con- cerned with such fire paths as elev- ator shafts and stairways.
 Any new structure which rears It. self on the Juneau skyline will be so constructed as to anticipate these potential hazards and provide pro- lection against them.
 According to Milton Lagergren, City Engineer, all buildings construc- ted in recent years are provided not only with fire proof enclosed eleva- tor shafts but also with fire proof enclosed stairway wells, thus shut ting off two avenues of fire spread ing and also insuring a smoke free passageway to safety for those en- dangered.
