1900 MOTORISTS
GIVEN SUMMONSES
Police Tightening Up Watch
on Traffic Law VioIators
Throughout City.

The first move in what may become
a vigorous city-wide drive against traf-
f1c law violators, particularly those who
leave their cars on the streets over
night without the required parking
light, was made today after police of
the third precinct station had issued
approximately 1900 summonses to
motorists for parking without lights in
an intensive weekend campaign.
Maj. Henry C. Pratt, superintendent
of police, said this morning that a
campaign against traffic violators is not
contemplated at this time, but declared
that captains of the precincts will be
held responsible for the enforcement of
the District laws in their commands"
However, the Daily Bulletin, official
publication of the Police Department,
yesterday carried special message from
Maj. Pratt ordering members of the
force to strictly enforce regulations
governing lights, stopping behind street
cars, right of way and all other traffic
regulations"
Capt. William C. Stott, commander
of No. station, took the initiative when
he disbursed an enormous quantity Of
traffic summonSes to his men with in
structions to serve them upon all vio-
lators.
Between 1000 and 1000 of the pink
slips were handed out by the patrolmen
of No. 3 over the week end, and long
procession of motorists filed in and out
of the station to pest the 50 collateral
set for such cases.

u. S. EXPORTS NEAR
AVERAGE RECORD
But Comparison With Peak
Figures of 1929 Shows
20 Per Cent Loss.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
The United States Chamber of Com
merce announced today a statistical
study of American foreign trade show
ing exports for the first three months
of 1880 to be but 4 per cent less than
the average of similar periods be-
tween 1924 and 1923.
A decline OF 20 per cent was noted,
however, in comparison with the first
three months of 1929.
This decrease in the volume of and
dollar value of American exports" the
chamber said, lis a reflection of the
worldwide business recession and fall
of commodity prices, with the conse-
quent lowered purchasing power of our
foreign markets.
For the first time since 1922, the
export figures show a preponderance
of declines. The values of only IA
of our SO chief exports (28 per cent
of the total value of exports) were
larger in the first quarter of 1880
than in the corresponding period of
1929. Five of these IA were machinery
items In quantity only 26 out of 95
articles recorded increases"
Export prices of many principal
American exports, including manufac-
tured cotton, automobiles, gasoline and
naphtha decreased; while gains were
noted in some others, including lubri-
eating oil, refined copper, wheat and
boards.
