SHORT OF COAL.
Chief Dissatisfied With
Results of Campaign

Dissatisfaction with results Of
Washington's traffic safety cam
paigr was voiced today by Major
Ernest w. Brown, chief Of police,
rs two additional organizations
pledged their aid toward stemming
the flood Of injuries and fatalities
on the city's streets.
eve are still having too many
accidents and people still are
getting killed." Major Brown de-
clared.
Need for greater cooperation on
the part of pedestrians in the
safety campaign was emphasized
by Major Brown. He pointed out
that police are still receiving re-
ports of accidents caused by pc
destrians walking into the side OF
moving cars.
LATEST RECRUITS
Newest recruits in the drive to
reduce Washington'S traffic toll
were the District branch OF the
American Youth Congress and the
Washington Junior Board OF Com
merce.
The American Youth Congress
enlisted its 100 members at q
meeting last night at the Y. w. c.
A. Focusing their attention on
the child victim problem, they re-
solved to publicize existing recrea-
tion centers, extend the three-cent
car fare to carry children to these
centers. and aid the activities OF
Junior safety clubs.
APPEAL TO OTHER UNITS
At the same time some 500 mem.
bers of the junior Board OF Com
merce stood behind Philip c. Ebel-
ing. president of the United States
Junior Chamber Of Commerce, as
the national officer broadcast the
announcement other commerce
units throughout the country
would follow the example OF the
Washington group in traffic safety
campaigns.
Even as these pledges were being
drawn, however, another Washing
ton youngster was injured. The
victim was Theodore Harris, IL,
colored, of 2427 Alabama Ave.
s. E. The child jumped on the
rear bumper of an automobile IN
the 23OO block Of Reynolds Pl.
s, E., fell to the street and was
treated at Emergency Hospital Tor
injuries to his left ankle.
POLICEMAN HURT
Earlier in the day. Motorcycle
Policeman H. c. Wright Of the
Twelfth precinct, suffered knee
injuries when his cycle was
dragged Is feet by an automoblle
driven by Julius LatvinSky, Of the
700 block of Ninth st. N. w. The
accident occurred on Queens
Chapel Road, just within the Dis
trict Line, as Wright was returning
from warning a physician on an
emergency call against over
speeding.
Also injured yesterday was
Lulu M. Smith, 16, Of Barnes
Lane, Northeast. She was hurt
when the car in which she Was
sitting was struck by a second
car.
SPEEDERS WARNED
The American Youth Congress
resolution followed addresses by
Washington I. Cleveland, manager
Of the District Automobile Asso-
citation, and Miss Sybil Baker, d.
rector of District Fairgrounds.
Cleveland warned Of the dan
gers of high speed driving and ad-
vocated as a safety measure more
courtesy by motorists.
Miss Baker said existing play
grounds were ample and should be
made more attractive for children.
She took the position, however,
that construction work, if
launched at this time?. might
prove dangerous.

The lens can be interchanged, he

Seven channels now allotted for

HAUGWITZ PREPARES
TO ANSWER CHARGE
Hearing to Be Held When Count
Returns From Paris, but
No Date Is Set,
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, June 29.-An arrange
ment was understood to have been
made today for Count Court Haugwitz-
Reventlow to face a British court on
the charges Of his heiress- wife, the
former Barbara Hutton, that he wrote
a letter she regarded as threatening.
Attorneys for the count and countess
met in a private, half-hour hearing
with Bow Street magistrate.
No date was set, however. for the
hearing, to be held when the count
returns from Paris. It was arranged
at his request for an opportunity to
clear up his wife's allegations.
The fact that Scotland Yard off,
cials attended the hearing. from which
bailiffs excluded the public, was be-
lieved to mean the count will not be
taken into custody on the restraining
order summons the countess has OBJ
tanned to bring her Danish nobleman
husband into court.
