 So the Weather Bureau obtained permission of the Juneau police and police searchlight to illuminate the balloon.
 KleinsaSser, who used to be a member of the University of South Dakota rifle team, fired 22 bullet first at the balloon. It collapsed but still the instrument did not fall. So he shot at the small waving instru- ment box and put it out of com mission.
 Another balloon was released from the Federal Building

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.-Secre- tary of State Corden Hull wrote the Senate Foreign Relations Committee today that the State Department did not consider continuance of dip lomatic relations with Russia to be wholly contingep5" upon fulfill ment by the Soviet Government of pledges made by Litvinoff and agreements which preceded offic- ial recognition in 1883.
 The information was given in reply to a committee request for Hulls comment on a resolution ten dered by Senator Arthur Vanden- berg asking the State Department to say whether or not the Litvinoff agreements had been kept.
 Vandenberg contends that Russia violated her pledges to the United States and urged diplomatic rela- lions be broken off with the So- viet Government.
 Hull said h;S department on Sev- eral occasions had grounds to be- lieve that the Soviet Government is not fully living up to it's obliga- lions undertaken at the time of eS- tablishment of diplomatic relations. '

SUDDEN FREEZE
 SLITHERS CARS
 FROM HIGHWAY
Dozens of Motorists Find Themselves in Ditch
 -0ne Injury

Dozens of automobiles slid from the Glacier Highway into roadside ditches last night as a sudden freeze following rain laid sheet of ice over the right of way.
 Several serious wrecks were ob- served by motorists though the only injury reported was a badly gashed forearm suffered by Jack Garrett.
 The automobile in which Gar rett was a passenger turned over in the ditch near Vanderbilt Hill when it tried to stop to see two other cars which had gone in the ditch. Luckily for Garrett, a CCC car with six enrollees who had just attended a first aid lesson at Mon tana Creek was already stopped at the scene and Garrett'S cut was bandaged immediately.
 Ditched Cars Flank Road
 Two automobiles slithered from the road into tidewater on the Lemon Creek flats Others were off the road all along the highway. Wreckers still labored today re- covering the ditched cars,
 Rain which fell yesterday after noon started freezing over the road at about 8 o'clock last night. Crews of the Public Roads Administra- ton went to work immediately and sanded the highway all night, but many motorists, unaware of the condition of the road and caught without chains, went into the ditch.
 The condition was reported much improved today, though there are still some slick spots on the Loop Road.

Dorothy Dix Says
Use Head as Well as Your Heart
When You Are Picking Mate

Is certainly one that should be set
tied before marriage because 1t is
one surcharged with potential mis-
cry and tears and bloodshed.
I think that people Of different
religious faiths should never marry
If either one is particularly devoted
to his or her own church. If they
do there Is sure to be trouble over
the children, II not over one trying
to force the other one into his or
her creed.
It IS much better, as a general
thing, for people to marry in their
own faith. There are plenty of other
things for married couples to fight
over besides religion.
OF course, there are exceptions to
this rule and there are many mixed
marriages that are peaceful and
happy, but this only happens when
both parties are broad and tolerant,
just and fair. It Is certainly
ironical that religion, which is the
gospel Of love, should bring on some
OF the bitterest controversies in the
world. DOROTHY DIX.

"You bet not" said Jake.
But smart as Jacob was he was

playmate told him not to stand

fell into the cellar. Nobody thanked
him for that.
The climax came when, on his
way home from school, he stopped
to watch the men building the new
post Office. He climbed under the
guard rail and was ordered back.
He wouldn't go. He clambered up
q heap Of sand in spite of the fore
mans yells and slid swiftly into
the pit where the men were dig

"It's not his fault that he isn't
dead" said the foreman wrath
