Francis B. Lightbown, IA,
student at the Bethesda High
School, died from an attack Of
heart failure brought on by over
exertion in the school gymnasium
yesterday.
The boy with a number of his
fellow pupils had been working
out on the horizontal bars and
after chinning himself seven times
suddenly paled and collapsed. He
died a few minutes later in the
gymnasium office.
A brother who is also a pupil
at the high school was quickly
summoned and was with Francis
when he died. A younger sister,
Emma, was not told until after
the boy had expired.
DR.. Benjamin c. Perry, who
was summoned, pronounced the
boy dead, stating that death was
caused by acute dilation of the
heart.
Charles M. Lightbown, the
boys father. a prominent Mary
land realtor, was Frustrated when

TRAFFIC CHARGE
SET ASIDE /

The traffic lights on Con-
necticut Avenue where S Street
and Florida Avenue cross are
enough to confuse anyone, Judge

Gertman. Washington lawyer, of
passing a red light.

ran out last August. The at.
torney was fined SIS on that
charge.
Gertman was arrested yester,
day at the Connecticut Avenue
Bridge by Policeman r. A. Gun.
ningham of the Traffic Bureau
who charged that the lawyer
crossed S Street, going north on
Connecticut Avenue on a green
and amber light and then crossed
Florida Avenue, just SO feet away
on a red light for the last half
'of the intersection.
Gertman denied the latter al
legation and intimated that the
officer had not seen him as he
did not accost until he had gone
a third OF mile further.

POLICE GOADED
BY GAMBLING
COMPLAINTS

Goaded by criticism of police
procedure in obtaining insuffi-
cient evidence to prosecute a case
successfully in court, high police
officials in Washington yesterday
passed orders throughout the
force for a more stringent en-
forcement.
While the captains of the IA
precincts were ordered by Major
Henry G. Pratt to picket all
places wherein were suspected VIC
lationS of the liquor and gaming
laws, 81 persons were taken into
custody by the police vice squad.
Five were later charged with
violating the prohibition laws and
a sixth was booked on a gaming
count.
Picketing Not New
The picketing, Platt pointed
out, was not the evidence of any
special drive, but was just the
revival OF an old method to
secure accurate evidence.
In replying to the statements
issued yesterday ny George H.
Carter. public printtr, the police
answered by picketing four places
in the vicinity of the Government
Printing Office where Garter had
complained that his employees
were Squandering their wages.
Accusations that the force was
lax in obtaining sufficient evi
dence were branded as false, and
police officials prepared for a
fight against all violations.

Peter Paul, 80, of the 500 block
Massachusetts, Ave. N. W., was

Sergt. o. j. Letterman and his

CELEBRATED
BY ROTARY

The silver anniversary of the
Rotary Club was. celebrated
yesterday when hundreds Of
Rotarians met at a luncheon in
the Willard Hotel at which the
diplomatic representatives of At
foreign countries were honor
guests.
M. Eugene Newson, president
Of Rotary International, told the
members that eradication of
jealousies, misunderstanding envy
and greed through the fellowship
OF business men, J the chief aim
Of the organization, was the
greatest means for promoting
international peace.
Higher Standards
I'm every community where q
Rotary Club exists, representative
business and professional men
are demonstrating and demand
ing higher standards in business
and professional life," he declared.
Rotary has enabled men to
understand men. And that under.
standing has removed prejudices
Even SO there is still much pre-
Judice-much misunderstanding
Rotary must continue to bring
men together in fellowship-firm
in the belief that men, actuated
by good intentions, can see the
problems that confront them and,
seeing these problems, will en-
deavor to find the proper solu.
ton.
Varying languages. customs
and traditions have at times OBJ
liberated the possibilities of peace.
full procedure, because the desire
for understanding and good will
have not been crystallized.
Future Opportunity
"Rotary's greatest future
opportunity lies in the cultivation
OF fellowship: in developing, in.
wardly, the individual in his de-
termination to oppose the forces
Of hatred, greed. envy and strife,
and of substituting for these the
will to understand, the power to
appreciate, the courage to act"
NewSon'S words and the intro
ductionS Of the diplomats by DR..
L. S. Rowe. director general of
the Pan American Union. were
broadcast to every part of the
country by the Columbia and
National Broadcasting Companies.
Scores Of Rotary Clubs were con-
vened to listen in on the pro
ceedings, which were also sent
abroad by short-wave stations.

FLORIDA. TRIP DELAYS PARK BILL
SENATE To HEAR
AMENDMENTS
GRANTED MD.

The Cramton bill, providing a
$23,000,000 park and playground
purchase program for the District
and vicinity. has run into another
snag which will delay Senate
committee action for two weeks
or perhaps q month.
Representative Louis c. Cram
ton Of Michigan, author of the
measure, has gone off to Florida
with a subcommittee of the House
Appropriations Committee to in
vestigate expenditure Of funds
appropriated for the extermina-
ton Of the fruit fly. He has
asked that the Senate District
Committee hold off hearings on
his bill until his return.
Return Date Unknown
Since no one knows when
Cramton will get back from the
junket, there is no telling when
the committee will be able to
take up the measure. Efforts
were made about two weeks ago
to- hold hearing. on the bill, but
delay was encountered at that
time also.
In the meantime Representa-.
tive Cramton has conferred with
leaders of nearby Maryland coun-
ties and has agreed with them on
q series of amendments which
they want inserted in the bill. 1t
Is considered probable that since
he has asked the Senate commit
tee to delay until his return that
he will seek to have these amend
ments included in the bill re-
ported from that committee. A
bill without the amendments has
already been passed by the House.
Title Retained
The amendments affecting
Maryland would permit that State
to retain title to lands acquired
for parks in the interest of the
National Capital program. They
would also alter the system of
payment, establishing a lump sum
contribution from the Federal
Government, which would accrue
to the State regardless Of the
cost Of acquiring the property
sought.
Virginia is particularly in
terested in another amendment,
introduced by Senator Carter
Glass Of that State, which would
provided for erection Of a bridge
over the Potomac at Great Falls.
