ONLY WARLIKE MOVE WILL CAUSE TROUBLE American Secretary of State Reminds Soviets of Pact They Signed MQOSCOW, July 20.—Jan Rudz- utak, acting head of the Soviet Government, told the Associated Press today that it was unneces- sary for Ar.orican Secretary of State Stimsou to send a reminder to the Moscow Government of its duties as signatory of the Kellogg Anti-War Pact. “Unless the Chinese commits a warlike act, we shall stand loyally by the pact despite China’s present provocative attitude of her viola- tion of the treaty vesting equal control of the Chinese and Eastern Railway and repeated invasions of the rights of Soviet citizens,” said Rudzutak, Cc quing, the Soviet head said: “We shall not take any military action against China unless China invades our territory and forces us to take defensive measures. “When Soviet Russia signed the Kellogg Pact it was not a gesture. We believe in peace. The Kellogg Pact is one of the best means of enforcement of peace and Secretary | Stimson need not yemind us of adherence to the 5\:1." !

There | is a sect in Germany which be- lieves in walking about in the nude. It is possible to see bands of! young enthusiasts of both sexes, going about without clothes. There is nothing objectionable about this, but clothes are a matter of con- vention.

Juneau Chamber Starts | Campaign in Favor of Alaska Material The Juneau Chamber of Com- merce is working thrcugh Delegate Jan Sutherland and with the Su- servising Architect of the Treasury Department to bring about the use of Alaska marble in the construc- tion of the Federal Building at this dlace. It also is asking other Alas- ka commercial bodies to become busy and urge the use of the Alaska material Secretary Frank A. Boyle, of the (Chamber of Commerce, advances several reasons for urging the use of Alaska marble. He contends that fhe Alaska marble will stand the wet weather better than lime- stone, that its use will insure the working of the Alaska marble quar- ries for sometime and give employ- ment, thereby, to several hundred men, and that its use in the build- ing will be available for advertising purposes to an Alaskan ' industry that needs it. Secretary Boyle last night sent the following night letter to Dele- gate Sutherland, House of Repre- sentatives: Telegram From Boyle “Important to Alaska industry to have contract for Federal building provide for use of Alaska marble. Otherwise, we understand; Iidiana limestone will be used, and this as Alaska marble. In addition, the use of Alaska marble will in- sure the working of marble quar-y ries for comsiderable time with the emplopsgent. of several hundre men and give a prized industry valuable advertising. Your as- sistance in this connection will be appreciated.” Sutherland Busy Secretary Boyle today received the following day telegraphic letter from Delegate Sutherland: “Have been urging Supervising Architect Treasury Department to |try and arrange for use of Alaska le in construction of building. w you would wire him direct ?semng forth reasons and urge him to deal with successful bidders to this end. Vermont Marble people are ready to supply marble at ap- proximate cost of limestone or sandstone. The alternative of $25.- 000 for use of Alaska marble pro- is unnecessarily high as I believe the difference in cost is negligible.” Boyle Continues Action Secretary Boyle will send night telegrams tonight to the Supervising Architect and various Alaska com- mercial organizations. Secretary Boyle declared today that “there are many reasons, in addition to the very appropriate sentimental one, why Alaska mu- terial should enter into the con- struction of the Alaska capitol. If we can have Alaska marble, Alaska concrete, Alaska lumber, and all other Alaska material that might be available it would stimulate Alas- ka development and give us a won- derful amount of valuable and last- ing advertising—the sort of adver- tising that is needed in this country when we are seeking capital for the development of natural re- sources.” HAS ARGUMENT; KILLS HIMSELF DES MOINES, Iowa, July 20.— Merle Johnson, young man of Cheyenne, Wyoming, shot and kill- ed himself today in the front yard of Laurence White, 18 years of age, a high school friend.

Bl‘ltlsh Lady Official Recognition Only Given to Male Garb OULD Miss Margaret Bondfield, Minister of I Labor in the British Cabinet, look “chic” in velvet knee breeches and a cocked hat? Decidcdly not; but that is the costumie shé must wear 1f she de- cldes to attend the court levees, of which the third of the season will be held on July 1 with the Prince of Wales presiding. It Miss Bondfield, who is the first woman member of the British Cabi- net, having been appointed by re- cently-elected Labor Premier Ram- say MacDonald, would assert her rights to equal recognition, then she must wear that garb—it is the only solution of the problem created by her appointment as Privy Council- lor. Responsible officials are hoping the o‘casion will not arise when they will have to tell Miss Bond- fleld that, while she may be in the Cabinet, the levees are still very rauch a male province, and that she can obtain admittance to them only in male guise, since that alone Is officially recognized. “The question of Miss Bondfield's uniform would not arise except in ,the case of the levees,” sald Austin Thls graphic conception of future dirigibles airplanes, in dirigibles of the future and pos- Lakehurst, N.
