Of These, t0S Proved Fatal in
 Conn. During Year

Hartford, April la P,--Motor va- hicles caused injuries to 2.465 chill
 dren in Connecticut last year, 1t Is announced by the state motor vehi- cle department, The injuries prov
 ed fatal to 10S of them. Special re-
 ports furnished to the education de-
 partments Of Hartford and Stamford show that 2S1 of the children were
 Injured In the foremer city and Il in
 the latter.
 Tn view Of the appalling loss Of
 life in prevent&bls accidents in the
 United States, the importance of
 safety education Is apparent" says a recommendation Of the National Conference on Street and Highway Safety which Is being widely dis lseminated in Connecticut by the Playground and Recreation associa- ton of America. "Recreation lead
 CTS are strongly urged to do every thing In their power to cooperate with the safety movement in the playground program and in local in-
 stitutes for playground directors"
 In support of this work, Mrs.
 Charles A. Goodwin has sent out letters to many people in Hartford asking for contributions to the Play ground and Recreation association. School authorities in several nun Iicipalities of Connecticut are taking hold Of the problem In earnest, and the motor vehicle department Is giv- ing It's cooperation. At the request of the school officials Of Hartford
 and Stamford the department sends 10 each of those cities d monthly statements showing all the accidents to children due to motor vehicles occurred in the previous month. These statements include the fol- lowing information The date, the hour, the location and the accident, the extent of the injury, and the identity and age Of the victim. The information enables the authorities to concentrate their precautionary measures in large degree on the To- cations and hours shown to be the most hazardous to children.
 [ In addition to the cities mentioned above, 2S3 children were injured by
 motor vehicles last year in Bridge port, 3l5 in New Haven, 1S3 in 1 Waterbury, 156 In New Britain, 113

lITH MAN KILLED
 IN GANG WARFARE
New Yorker Shot to Death by
 Rival Gunmen

New York. April l9 Pt-A girl of the lower East Side transferred her smiles from one gangster to another three years ago, and by that whimsy caused the haring up of a bitter feud between two rival gangs of gunmen that has now taken toll of eleven lives.
 Max Goldberg, known as Max the LipWack,' was the eleventh vic- tim in the warfare between the Kid Dropper' and the Little Augie" gangs. A woman called him by tel phone early yesterday. AS he was going to the telephone, in the hallway outside his. restaurant at SC Orchard street, two gunmen silently opened the door from the street. They fired two shots and two bullets pierced Goldberg $ brain The eunmcn escaped and the only clue the police had to the crime was the woman's telephone call and the number of the taSicab in which they believed tho gunmen escaped. { Goldberg was a member of the Little Angie" rang, according tc police. His partner Meyer Albert also member Of the Little Augie' gang, was killed In Attorney street last year.
 Score About Even
 The rival gangs have maintained on almost even score in the notch ngs Of their guns since the warfare started.
 There was irony in Goldbers'i staying, only last Friday he obtain cd q court order directing the with drawal of a policeman who has beer stationed in his restaurant to pre- vent gambling. Detectives doubted whether he would have been killed had a policeman been in the place.
 The Warfar9 between the twt gangs started ill 1928 when Loui SChwartzuan, known as The Midg ct" and a member Of the "Littl' Augie' gang, was shot down on evening as he was sitting on tn, doorstep of his home at % Rutger street. Beside him was Edna Chur gin, who had transferred her affcc tions to him from Louis Kaplan "The Kid Dropper.'
 ! Thereafter the feud was wagcd il the lower East Side streets and q far uptown as Eighty-tirst street soon after "The Midget" staying the Kid Droppor' himseN wa killed. He was shot down ass.h vas leaving police court, surroand ed by detectives. after being dis charged in connection with th murder of schwartzman.
 ! Louis Cohen, of the little Au gi"s," is new serving q life term fo the murder of Kaplan. Members q the "Kid Dropper" gang carried o the warfare for their lost leader.
