SEC Inquires Into Bond Sales By Japanese Honolulu, Dec. 21 tfp The se curities and exchange commission pressed an Investigation today of report unregistered Japanese em ergency bonds totaling one million yen (about $280,000) were being of fered for sale In this area of hea vy Japane.se population. Roger Kent, SBC attorney of San Francisco, revealed the Investiga tion after two days' intensive work during which witnesses were sub poenaed and questioned. "The SEC received information to the effect one million yen of un registered Japanese emergency bonds were being publicly offered In the territory," Kent said In dis closing his mission here. "When the commission receives , informa tion of this nature it conducts an Investigation to determine wheth er the law Is being, or has been violated. I am here to make that Investigation." Hawaii's total population of 396, 715 Includes 161,141 Japanese, of whom 113,289 are American citizens and 37,852 are aliens. About 25,000, although being bom In American Hawaii, remain technically subject to the mikado as well as citizens of the United States, because their births were recorded at the Japan ese consulate. Kent explained that by unregis tered bonds was meant bonds not registered with the SEC in Wash ington, and therefore illegal for public offering in United States. He said he had no statement to make at present on whether the law had been violated. Federal officials said offering of unregistered bonds could be pre vented by injunction proceedings Instituted in federal courts. They said criminal charges, if filed, would be handled through the United States prosecutor's office.

Vizetelly, 74, widely known lexicographer, died today of pneumonia. Of ficials of Funk and Wagnalls said Dr. Vizetelly died about midnight In the Fifth Avenue hos- pital, where he had been confined since December 2, suffering from I pluerisy and pneumonia. i He had been associated with! Funk and Wagnalls for 46 years as editor of the reference depart-, ment. I Survivors include his widow. Ber tha, and a daughter, Mrs. Norma Cochrane. When he went to work for Funk and Wagnalls when that organiza tion was compiling its "Standard Dictionary." His part of the Job em braced the training of definers in the art of drafting definitions of words. As the work progressed he came to specialize more and more in de finitions of wines, typography and critical reviewing. Jn 1913 Dr. Vizetelly was named managing editor of the unabridg ed dictionary of the firm, succeed ing the late Dr. Isaac K. Funk. During his association with this book the number of vocabulary terms It contained was Increased more than B0 per cent, and It was necessary for him to become one of the mast widely read men In the country In order to keep abreast of new words and search out old Dallas Stop Street Signs Are Increased Dallas Stop streets In the city were augmented Monday night when the city council passed an ordinance designating certain points throughout the city as stop streets. The step follows closely on the heels of the recent street Improve ment program which was completed this past summer when some eigh teen blocks were paved. The council played Santa Claus to the city marshal, Tony Neufeldt, and the street commissioner, Dave Warren, when the members ap proved an Increase In pay for both officers. Other business transact ed was of a routine nature. Avon, it was his contention, used about 23,000 words while the medi cal man of today has 25,000 or more at his command. An educated man, he remarked on another occasion, ought to know 50, 000 words. One of the words, the origin of which attracted his at tention when it hit Broadway and new popularity, was "whoopee." That expression, the learned doctor concluded after research, was about five centuries old. His authority on words and his In. fluence were manifest in his grand daughter, Jeanne Vizetelly Cochrane, who reached the age of six early in 1935 with the remarkable vocabulary of 10,000 words. Dr. Vizetelly was proud of that. SWEDEN 3 m. M POLICE BAT v lla jpEafil u s. writer. LATVIA 1 If rrJ g LITHUANIAVXs Q .

Vizetelly was a native of Eng land and for a time was a special correspondent for French publica tions. His father was a master printer. Vizetelly came to New York In 1891 after conducting a publishing house In England. His first Job was with Punk and Wagnalls and It was with them he became In ternationally famous for his work on their dictionaries. His Interest In words slang par ticularly never languished, and he was forever checking newspapers and other publications seeking new and more expressive words and trac ing their origin. He was the author of more than a score of volumes on the English language and philological subjects. Once, in an address before the phonetic society at Columbia uni versity, Dr. Vizetelly urged a new English alphabet, arguing that the one now In use was Inadequate to express the multiple sounds In the language. A well-schooled physician, he said at another time, has a vocabulary exceeding that commonly attribut ed to Shakespeare.
