The child is John Hewitt, son of Lt. and Mrs. Merritt Hewitt, 150 Chesnut Grove avenue, Water-town, Conn. He was removed from the train in San Bernardino and rushed to St.

Bernardine's hospital. FATHER EXPECTED Dr. Chauncey Balrd, Santa vailroad doctor in San Bernardino, said the little boy's condition Is serious and he immediately ordered X-rays to determine the full extent of the head injuries. The child's father, a Navy dentist stationed at Camp Kearney, San Diego, was notified of the accident by the mother and he came to San Bernardino immediately to be at his son's bedside. Mrs.

Hewitt and the baby were en route from their residence in Connecticut to San Diego, where they were to meet Lieutenant Hewitt, when the accident occurred at 7 a.m. yesterday while their train, the California Limited, was near B'arstow. BABY FIRST AWAKE Mrs. Hewitt said the baby awakened before she did and either fell or crawled off their bed in one of the train's compartments. She said the child apparently struck its head on the floor.

The youngster cried for a few seconds after it fell, she told Dr. Baird, and then lapsed into a semi-comatose CAMPAIGN RECORD Neal Telegram Is shown presenting a Batchelor of The Sun and Evening thick book of Seventh War loan clippings to Chairman Earnist McCook. Three Crews on Lytle Flood Job Army Ready to Start Second Project Phase Work on the initial phase of the $10,000,000 flood control project for Lytle creek is being pushed ahead at top speed with three crews and dozens of pieces of heavy equipment already on the job less than a week after the letting of the contract. Monster drag lines, power shovels, bulldozers and carry-alls have deepened the widened channel of the creek from a point near Mill street west of the Santa Fe precooler plant at the west city limits to Rialto avenue. The man-made channel is now over 300 feet wide and 40 to 50 feet below the former natural level of the creek bed.

At the same time, the Army was completing final specifications for condemnation proceed ings to acquire right of entry on property along the creek channel from Foothill boulevard north to the mountains and was preparing Modern engineering equipment opens up operations to complete Lytle creek flood control project. Photos show part of the mass machinery brought to the area to carry out construction. Non-Resort Area Of Hills Closed Fire Hazard Sections Barred to Public First day of closure for the San Bernardino National forest, yes terday, was favorable to the ranger's point of view as cloudiness and relatively high humid atmosphere prevailed over the moun tain areas. The areas of high fire hazard, closed to all public use for the season, are posted with signs of conspicuous type at intervals of not less than three to a mile and at all roads and trails entering the closed areas, said William A. Peterson, supervisor of the San Bernardino national forest service, concerning the action.

Public highways, resorts and the major recreational areas in San Bernardino national forest will continue to remain open to the public. Smoking will be prohibited except at designated campgrounds, places of habitation, and at areas specifically posted for smoking. No camp fires of any type will be permitted without a written permit. For the first time in the history of the national forest both forest and fishing streams are closed on the same day. Formerly, property owners could fish on their forest lands after the forest closure and up to the last day of fishing which anteceded the former date.

No written permit will be required of settlers in the closed areas going to and from their homes. Rangers and patrolmen will be on duty continuously. Pfc. Richard Mosey Dies in North Italy Pfc. Richard D.

Chief Allison said police officers will periodically scout the down town district between the hours of 11 p. m. and 3 a. m. and arrest all persons who are found to be under the influence of alcohol.

BARS TO BE CHECKED He added that his officers also will check bars and take into custody patrons who are intoxicated. The police department inaugu rated its new policy over the last week-end and, as a result, 34 per sons were arrested on charges of either drunkenness or disturbing the peace. Most of the arrests were made on Third street in the four-block stretch between Arrow head avenue and street. Both civilians, and military per sonnel will be hit under the new police orders and military author ities will assist police in the task. "Our downtown area is getting to be disgraceful at nights, with drunks wandering up and down the streets," charged Chief Allison.

"Many of them stay until the bars close at night, sleep in the streets, and then wait for the bars to open again in the morning." TO PROTECT DRUNKS He said the policy is being in augurated, too, as a protective move for both the public and for the drunks themselves. Chief Allison said there have been repeated cases of drunks being robbed while they are unable to take care of themselves and there also have been many instances of drunks being injured in auto accidents. Four police cars will be as signed nightly to the new work, The first will start at 11 p. and the others will follow with checks at hourly intervals.

Townsend. 967 E. Third Street McCook Praises Sun's Bond Aid 'Magnificent Help' in Campaign, He Asserts Earnist McCook, general chairman of San Bernardino city's campaign for the Seventh War Loan drive, yesterday issued a statement in which he paid high tribute to the part played by The Sun and the Evening Telegram in putting the bond sale drive "over the top." With five days yet to go, the various teams of the city campaign have already reported an over-subscription of nearly a million dollars on the city's quota of Si.7.-n,ooo. "We of the Seventh War Loan drive executive committee find it difficult to express adequately to you of The Sun organization our deep appreciation for the magnificent contribution you made to our now victorious campaign," Mr. McCook said.

"Without your help in keeping constantly before the public the urgency of the need for continued purchases of war bonds and in keeping the public apprised of the progress of the drive, our task would have been immeasurably more difficult. 'That The Sun Co. in these times of serious shortage of newsprint and of trained personnel would so freely contribute dozens of photographs, thousands of column inches of news and advertising space and the time of a news specialist, Neal Batchelor, to write literally hundreds of thousands of words concerning the drive, is as fine a demonstration of patriotism and community and, indeed, national service as I have ever observed. Those of us responsible for the direction of the campaign are sincerely grateful." Mr. Batchelor of the editorial staffs of The Sun and Evening Telegram, presented to Mr.

McCook a bound volume of clippings of the various articles which appeared in the two newspapers during the war loan drive. 10 Needed to Sfudy Red Cross Nursing An urgent need for nurse's aides for service in local hospitals has resulted in an appeal from the San Bernardino chapter of the American Red Cross for women volunteers to join the nurse's aide class of the chapter.
