TOKYO, April 20.-Japanese im- tion-inspectors, long famous for being so different from their traditionally courteous countrymen, are setting new records.
 Here's what happened to griz- zled Britisher. The inspector found his passport in good order, and stamped it, then remarked:
 This says that you are not mar ried."
 That is true, I am not married
 Never been marrie3?"
 The walrus moustache bristled
 "As a matter of fact, no, I have never married"
 Why not? You're old enough" " he giggled.
 Next young American was asked. Did you go to college?"
 "Yes."
 What did you study?"
 That touched the match to the gunpowder. T can't see what the blank blank difference it makes to you said the youngster, but studied engineering, and if that's a crime in this country, give me my passport and I'll go back where it isn't!"
 A rotund Dane came up to the firing line In his pocket was yell low envelope, obviously containing something photographic. The ins- pector asked to see it, and when he did, his eyes popped and his jaw fell It was set of negatives, ex- posed, and covered with splotches of grey and black in great, curving lin- es. What!

JACkRABBIT FUR
 IN SPRING HATS

GRAND FORKS, N. D. April 20- Part of that new spring bonnet may have loped over North Dakota prair- ies.
 Farmers and townsmen, harvest ing comparatively new prairie crop"-jackrabbits-have built up a sizeable industry that has reversed one of the sleight-of- hand standbys Instead of pulling bunnies out of a hat they're putting the rabbits into the chapeauX.
 Skins from thousands of North Dakota jackrabbits are shipped an- nually to New York where the fur is mixed with longer hairs of tame rabbits in making felt for hats.
 Banner year for the industry was 1929 when about $3,000,000 was paid by hide and fur commission firms at the rate of $1:65 per pound. Prices have dropped severely since then, 25 cents per pound being the quotation this year with income es- timated at $100,000.

HAMPERS FERRY
 BRIDGE VISITED
City, New Haven Road Off, cials Inspect Structure;
 New One Asked

City officials and representatives of the New Haven railroad this morning inspected the Harpers Ferry road bridge, which for years has been a bone of contention. The city is seeking to have the bridge rebuilt.
 In the party were Mayor Patrick M. Perriello, Corporation Counsel Vincent Scully, Superintendent of Streets Herbert Scott-Smith, Assist ant City Engineer Henry Whitlock and Works Commissioner James A Phelan.
 Bills calling for the removal oi the bridge and for the establish ment of a state highway along Harpers' Ferry road failed of pas sage at the last session of the legis- lature. The matter was then brought before the Public Utilities Commis- sion.
 One plan, to remove the bridge and fill m to bring the ditch below up to level of the road was over. ruled when the Scovill Mfg. Go ksaid that railroad tracks below thu bridge might be necessary in thu event of the war. The tracks art those of the old Meriden railroad. Motorists and neighbors have pro. tested that the bridge is dangerous Of wooden construction, there | scarcely room for two cars. ana there is 6 curve along the bridge Furthermore. there is provision fol Z pedestrians.

Judge Conway Seen As Choice of Republican
 Town Committee

Republican hopes of avoid- ing a primary fight were dashed today when an nouncement was made that Mayor Patrick M. Perriello, already designated as the candidate of the Independent Republican party, is in the race for the regular noulina- ton. The announcement was made by Attorney M. J. Galullo, who said choice of delegates to city, town and school conventions would be filed in each of the 32 voting districts in opposition to those to be offered by the Republican town committee. The Republican primary will be held be- tween 5 and p. m., Monday.
 Perriello supporters at once made plans for mass meeting at o. clock tonight at 284 Bank street, and asked all packers of the mayor to attend. A statement read over local radio stations pointed out that the announcement of the primary date had come without warning yester- day afternoon from the Republican, leadership, and only short time is available to prepare for the battle against the intrenched organization.
 Conway Is Choice
 Judge Theobald E. Conway, un- successful candidate for the mayor alty in 1929, was designated last night by the G. O. P. town confrnit- tee as its favored choice. Perriello packers said, however, that Judge Conway has not yet definitely agreed to run, and that he faces a diffi- cult decision. They pointed out that the Journal of the American Bar association recently expressed the opinion that any judge seeking pulp lie office should resign before ac- cepting any nomination. Thus, they claim, Judge Conway would have

Turkish, Russian Rela- tions Strained By Lat-
 ter's Demands
BY FREDERICK KUH
United Press Staff Correspondent

NUHlteu freSS StaI1 COrreSpOnuent)
 London, Oct. 5.-(UP)-Turkey' s l6-year friendship with Russia is now at stake in negotiations at Mos COW, it was understood today. Tur- key was reported in well informed diplomatic quarters to have reject ed two Russian demands:
 l. That Turkey close the Dardanelles to the British ard French fleets to keep them from operating in the Black Sea. 2-That Turkey cancel q propis. ion in its draft treaties with Great Britain and France by which Bri- tain and France would aid Turkey If it became involved in war while assisting any Balkan state in resist ing aggression.
 Seeks Balkan Domination
 The view taken in diplomatic quarters was that Russia was now seeking openly to dominate the Balkans and that Turkey was re- sisting stoutly.
 Dispatches from Moscow were taken to indicate that climax was approaching. British quarters had every sympathy for Turkey, realizing that it was confronted with the choice of carrying out its engage ments to Britain and France or loosen its ties with its old friend, Russia-if not break them.
 To Oppose Dictatorship
 A Daily Herald dispatch from Is- tanbul said today that Turkey seem- ed determined to oppose by every means German or Russian dictator ship in the Balkans. An official Turkish spokesman was quoted as saying that the negotiations now going on at Moscow could not change Turkeys determination, re- affirmed after the start of the Eur opean war, to stand by Britain and France.
 Russia's demand that Turkey close the Dardanelles was taken here to mean that Russia sought every s.feguard against the possibility that she might find herself aligned against Turkey if Josef Stalin de- cided to throw Russia into the. war
 With the Dardanelles open, the British and French fleets could not only send assistance to Rumania but would be able to blockade the mouth of the Danube river, thus closing one trade artery leading to Germany, but--if Russia entered the war--might be able to bombarc Russian Black Sea Ports.
 Concentrate On East Side Russia's second demand was in. terpreted as meaning that Turkey should disinterest herself in thy Balkans on the Black Sea side and concentrate her interests in the E a t ern Mediterranean, thereby leaving Russia a free hand to inter- vene in Rumania. recover the Bes. sarabian area which Rumania re- ceived from her after the Worl6 War, possibly control the Bukowina area of Northern Rumania, anc compel Rumania to restore also the Dobrudjda area which she acquired after the Balkan war preceding the World War.

Boston, Oct. 5.-UP)-President Arthur Howe of Hampton (va) h. stitute said today that the living standards of the 13.000,000 negroes in the United States must be raised or they may become e permanent relief problem.
 The problem is one of economics as well as a test of how "our Amer
