Commissioners Urue
Safety First on Fourth

Enjoy your Fourth, but make
safety first your motto" the Com
mlssloners say, in effect, in CO.
operating with the National Safety
Council in an effort to cut the toll
OF accidents, deaths and injuries.
Citing the high annual accident
toll from fireworks, the city heads
said: Despite widespread legisla-
ton against this common cause of
blindness and infection, many small
children continue to stage private
fireworks displays with disastrous
results.
Every resident of the District is
urged to drive more carefully, not
to drive when drinking and to be
extra careful when swimming and
not to use fireworks.
ut is hoped that your celebration
OF July 4 will not be married by any
accident resulting in death. dis
ability and tragedy"
The Commissioners reminded that
last year accidental deaths in the
United States during July amounted
to $500, while 100000 suffered in
Juries and that costs were calcu-
lated at upwards of 100000
During each hour in July of last
year IL persons were killed in &C.
cldents. During the last five years
July accident losses have been %
per cent higher than that Of the
average month. One-ffth of all
drownings occurred in July, most
OF them at beaches where there is
no supervision, officials added.

day earmarked $l3.5o0,OO in ire

clined to approve three housing

dent Roosevelt for approval. Au-
thorization for the earmarkings

direction Of the President after his
determination that the defense pro-
gram is being impeded By shortage
OF housing in a locality.
Portsmouth, Va, site of a large
Navy yard, a munitions depot and
other Navy activities, is planning a
$1,000 900 project to provide housing
for additional workers expected in
the expansion of the preparedness

Mrs. Earle said he added, will be
awfully careful"
How could anybody be careful?"
she said. HE said that to make me
feel good, of course. but all it did
was make me very, very sad"
First word of young Earle's con-
templated plan, the Associated
Press reported, was an announce
ment In Sofia, Bulgaria. by Minister
Earle that the youth had resigned
his position as secretary to his
father to join the r. A. F..
Mrs. Earle Immediately cabled in

She received message from her
husband yesterday, stating that the
youth would be given about six
months training before going into
combat.
But others tell me it won't be
near that long, because he already
has 300 hours in the air and thew
are IN such desperate need of pilots"
She talked to the British Ambas-

Irotsky Charges Soviet
Envoy TO u. 5. 0gpu Agent
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY, July 3.-Leon
Trotsky charged in court today that
the Russian Ambassador to the
United States, Constantin Ouman-
sky, was actually not diplomat,
but "an agent of the Ogpu," the
Russian secret police.
The testimony came at a prelimi-
nary hearing in the village court at
Coyoacan for two of the .score or
more persons detained for the ma
chine gun assault, May "a, on
Irotsky's home.
The hearing was to obtain tes-
timony to be presented later in their
defense.
Trotsky mentioned the Russian
diplomats name in passing, in dis
cussing charge that some Leftist
newspapers in Mexico received
money from Moscow.
He reiterated his full confidence"
in Sheldon Harte of New York, a
secretary-guard who disappeared
the night of the attack and later
was found shot dead.
