MILITARY AIDE .
 LEAPS TO DEATH
Jumps From Eiffel Tower as Duke and Duchess of
 Windsor Dine Nearby

Paris, June 24.-CUP).-Col Benik Benes, A, who was named military attache of the Czechoslovak lega- tion just before Germany seized his country, jumped to death from a platform of the Eiffel tower last night as the Duke and Duchess of Windsor and leaders of official, dip- lomatic and social life were dining in celebration of the towers 50th anniversary.
 The dinner was held in the res- taurant on the first platform of the tower, at the 200 foot level, from which Col. Benes jumped.
 It was 8 gay dinner, with orches. tral music and 8 program of old music hall songs, and few of the diners saw the tragedy or learned of it. Members of the dukes en- tourage said that he and the duchess knew nothing of it.
 Col. Benes had been named mill tary attache effective April 1. Ger many seized his country March IS. Col. Benes had suffered from ex- treme nervous depression as the re- suit of the extinction of the Czech republic.
 Police said that Col. Benes may have climbed the tower during the day yesterday and hidden kl the iron rafters. He did not arrive with the anniversary diners, they said.
 Benes' body struck the sloping iron work twice as he plunged and his skull was crushed before he reached the ground, alongside the tent, side shows, and wrestlers' booths of circus under the tower.
 Because of the similarity of names 1t had been reported that Col. Benes was relative of former President Edouard Benes of Czechoslovakia, now in the United States.
 Associates of Edouard Benes in Chicago said he did not have any relatives in Paris and that the name was common one among Czecho- SlovakS.
 Col Benes entered the Austrian army in the World War and was made a priso-er by Italy. Later he was able to join the Czech Legion to fight against Germany. After the war he studied at the French war college and became a professor at the Czech artillrey school and war college at Prague. He is sur- vived by his wife, who is here.

POLICE CHECKING. ON WPA LUNCHES
l50 Children Suffer Pto- maine Poisoning After
 Eating School Food

New York, June 24-CUP)-The health department today asked the police to round up all WPA workers who helped prepare luncheons yes- terday for 41 elementary schools on Staten Island where 150 under priviliged children were taken to hospitals suffering from ptomaine poisoning.
 Dr. John L. Rice, head of the health department, took charge of the investigation at the direction of Mayor F. H. LaGuardia. Sep- arate investigations were begun by the board of education and the po- lice department.
 The children were stricken several hours after eating a luncheon of tomato salad with cream dressing, Spanish rice and bread and milk. The food was prepared in the WPA kitchen at Public School No. 32 at Stapleton and distributed to other schools on the island.
 Requests for ambulances began to pour in after schools closed. An undetermined number of other children were treated at home. None was in serious condition, and about 50 of those taken to hospitals were returned to their homes after treat ment.
 The children were seized with pains in the stomach and vomiting. Tie number of ambulance calls was so great that police patrol cars were used to take children to hos pitals. Richmond Memorial Hos- pital was taxed to capacity and some children were transferred to ths City Tuberculosis Hospital at Seaview.
 The luncheon is fed daily to pupils whose parents are on relief. Physicians did not determine irn- mediately which food poisoned the children, but the parents of more of those stricken said it was the Spanish rice. Police gathered up all the food remaining in the kitchen and turned it over to the health department inspectors for analysis. It included eggs. lettuce, mayon- naise, bread, butter and milk.

Swimming Lessons
 For 1900 Youths
.M C. A. Reveals Interesting Record Extending Over Period of IA Years-Waterfront Safety Emphasized

From records compiled by the off, ficers of the local Y. M. c. A. nearly 1900 campers have been taught to swim at the "" Summer Camp at Smiths pond during the past IA years. The figures were com- piled by Ralph Cooke, director of the junior section and instructor in beginners classes.
 Last year 12o young lads were giv- en instructions and their certifi- cates on completing the course of lessons. Teaching campers to swim is regarded as one of the most im- portant features of the program. The usual length of time required for the lads to qualify as swimmers is one week.
 In camp, waterfront safety is a camp watchword. J. Kingsley Blan- chard, Springfield, waterfront di- rector has life-saving corp of 90 strong, husky college swimmers. All of them are senior and junior life savers. The entire life-Saving corp of college men is on duty at each swim and no individual is allowed in the water or in the boats except at scheduled swimming periods.
 Boys swim in pairs in what is known as the Buddy system" A buddy inspection is made at three minute intervals throughout the swim and boys must check in and out of the swimming areas in pairs. Campers must pass rigid tests be- fore being allowed to use the canoes, row-boats or the sailboat. The canoe test requires that boys swim across the lake, distance of about IA mile. To pass the boat test, campers must swim a distance of 50 yards. Non swimmers entering camp are placed in the beginners swimming class which is held twice daily Scores of boys have, made remark

able records in this group. Out standing in example is Frank Miller, III, of Middlebury, who passed his beginners test on Wednesday, completed his boat test on Friday and swamn across the lake on the following Monday.
 In fourteen years the, "" camp has never had a waterfront accid- ent due to its air-tight safety sys- tenn. During the counselor's train ing week which opens June 29th, considerable time vii be given to a consideration of safety methods and the techniques of waterfront supervision.
