"B2 % TBPASSTESTS N LIFE VNG Skilled Instructors Sta- tioned at Pools by Ameri- can Red Cross. Bkilled swimming instructors sta- tioned at an increasing number of public and private pools in Washing- ton through the District of Columbia Chapter of the American Red Cross are turning out a formidable number of persons who are capable of passing rigid swimming and life-saving tests. So far this Summer, 303 persons have succeeded in passing these tests conducted by the Red Cross Chapter, thereby demonstrating their ability to cope with emergencies which require cestorative methods or saving hapless victims from drowning. In this way the Red Cross Chapter has done much to enlarge and improve the standards of live-saving instruction in the Dis- trict during the past year. Many Pools Added. During this time since Benjamin Gammage has been director of instruc- tion for the chapter, unusual progress also has been shown in the number | of pools added to the list of those em- | ploying Red Cross life savers as at- tendants and guards. These attend- eants conduct free classes featuring aquatic safety and life-saving methods. | ‘The classes are popular with the elders as well as with the younger element who seek to learn more than the mere rudiments of swimming. Since their opening this year, instruc- tion courses have been conducted at the Marjorie Webster School, the Am- bassador Hotel and Glen Echo Park pools. The country clubs also are go- ing after Instruction strong, with courses now being given at the Army | and Navy Club, Congressional, Chevy Chase and Columbia Clubs and at Walter Reed Hospital. Daily Classes Conducted. At the four pools on the playgrounds of the District, Red Cross swimming | and life-saving classes are conducted daily under supervision of Gordon | Stone. The instructors at these pools are paid employes and devote their entire working time to teaching. All} classes at these municipal pools are free and hundreds of young children are preparing for the rather severe Red Cross tests. The Welfare Association conducts the four pools at the McKinley, Ta- koma, Banneker and Francis recrea- tion centers. At these pools intensive teaching schedules are being started now by volunteer Red Cross instructors and employed life guards. They are under the direction of Robert McCar- thy and Elmer Hipsley, who are mem- bers of the District of Columbia Chap- they thronged the pool at the school THE Junior girls at the Marjorie Webster School day camp shown as to take a rigid course in swimming and life saving under supervision of the District Chapter of the American SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

Sleepless N igfi_t Faces Family of Chicago Plumber U. S. Deputies to Knock on Door Every 15 Min- utes to Serve Notice. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, July 13.—The apartment of Thomas E. Duffy, plumbing con- tractor, was besieged by three United States deputy marshals tonight and 1t appeared as if a sleepless night was in store for the family. The deputies have been on duty at doorways to the Duffy home since Friday. United States Marshal William H. McDonnell said his deputies had sought Duffy to serve notice of a bank | assessment action for six months. One guarded the front door, a sec- ond the rear door and a third knocked at the door. “Who's there?” answered. “A United States deputy marshal with a subpoena to serve,” the deputy answered. “Come in and serve it,” was the re- plv. , “But the door’s locked,” the deputy eomplained. “Well, that's too bad,” the voice responded. ‘The deputies sat down to wait. They explained that since the action was & civil matter they could not force entry, but that all supplies, in- cluding food, would be shut off until they were admitted. They will get little sleep tonight, one deputy said. “We are going to rap, and rap hard, every 15 minutes,” he declared. & male voice sion Halt Funmaking \ Thoughts of Rainbow Division vet- | erans, here for their seventeenth an- nual reunion, went back today to July 14, 1918. Exactly 17 years ago. the division. in company with French troops under one-armed Gen. Henri Gourod, went over the top and smashed one of the flercest German offensives of the World War. The memory of hun- dreds of comrades left dead on the shell-swept terrain at Champagne sobered 500 minds today and fun mak- ing was subordinated The intervening years have not dimmed the veterans’ recollections of Champagne. They recalled how the enemy, thinking the French would be in poor fighting trim as the result of celebrating their national holiday, Bastille day, launched a vicious at- tack, striking for the railhead at Chalons. Launched Counter-Attack. A storm of fire followed, but before the Germans had attained their ob- jective, a flerce counter-attack was started by the Rainbow and the French, The Germans fell back and an important allied victory had been won. Had Germany broken through, a renewal of the drive on Paris would have been “inevitable” and the results ‘“unforeseeable,” it/ was said. To commemorate the occasion, the | convening Rainbow men will hold | “Champagne hour” after their banquet | tonight. This ceremony will conclude | the reunion.

Their goal is 100,000 letters. “You have gone entirely too far in the destruction of our American liberties.” “It is an outrage and | savors much of sRussian confiscation.” ‘C|.7UB JOINS DRIVE and “we want liberty and constitu- tional government” were some of the contents of the letters to the White House.

Special Dispatch to The Star HYATTSVILLE, Md., July 13.—The | 1 Exchange Club of Prince Georges County, at its luncheon meeting Wed- | nesday at the Beaver Dam Country Club, will join with the Prince Georges Chamber of Commerce and other groups in the campaign to obtain the extension of Rhode Island avenue from Hyattsville to Beltsville. | The extension, held inevitable and vital by civic leaders and others, would | parallel the present trolley tracks and | would, it is argued, relieve the con- | gestion on the Washington-Baltimore Bouievard. With the extension of Rhode Is- | land avenue much of the congestion at the foot of the bridge at the boule- vard and Marion street, Hyattsville could be relieved, it is maintained, by | diverting northbound traffic along Rhode Island avenue to Anderson or some other street north of the bridge. where it could come back on the boulevard The Prince Georges Chamber of !

By the Associated Press. | LONDON, July 13.—Every power in | | Europe, an unofficial survey showed i today, is attempting the development | of military air fleets to higher degrees of efficlency than maintained at | present. While air building programs and ‘develcpmem generally are guarded | with the utmost secrecy, it is certain that the number of military aircraft | | in Europe is more than 10,000. The proximity of European borders, | the speed with which aviation can strike at the vast civilian centers with all manner of new death-dealing devices, and the secrecy with which mysterious new fleets of aircraft can be developed, as against general knowl- edge and delay in the development of | sea or land units, explain the stress now being placed upon an air security pact. Every major power is anxiously pro- | ceeding through diplomatic channels | toward a general agreement before the full effect of presently advanced aviation building programs is felt in | 1937, Alr experts generally regard Russia | as the leader in serviceable aircraft with more than 3,000 planes in oper- | ation.
