SUNDAY BROOKLYN TIMES UNION JANUARY 26, 1936 5 Snow on Frostbite Hurtful, Warns Brooklyn Red Cross Affected Flesh Never Should Be Rubbed, But Warmed by Contact With Body Surface. To help prevent current explode a common fallacy Brooklyn Chapter, American warning to local residents enthusiasts never to rub snow. feet or any part of the body. According to the Red Cross, when frostbite occurs water is frozen into the tissues and if they are briskly rubbed, serious damage may occur, gangrene resulting. Frostbite should not be thawed too quickly, near a radiator, stove or open fire.

When an extremity ear becomes frostbitten the correct procedure is gradually to warm the affected member by placing it in contact with a body surface. Cold water gently applied also is affective. To Prevent Skating Accidents To prevent ice-skating accidents the Red Cross suggests the following: Never skate alone and test the thickness of the ice to which you trust cumstances. your weight, When under skating any in cir- an isolated spot it is wise to provide. a long plank, rope or other rescue material and keep it near at hand on the shore.

A check of facts shows that many avoidable skating accidents are due the proclivity of the skater to "show off." If you should break through the ice, the Red Cross says, remember self-rescue is possible provided the victim does lose his head. Actual Red Cross tests have shown that the shock of submerging in icy water is not great because of the fact that the skater has as a rule been exercising and heavily clothed. If the victim will extend NEW PRATT UNIT OPENS TOMORROW $100,000 Science School Extension Completes Third Part of Planned Quadrangle. The School of Science and Technology of Pratt Institute will officially open its new $100,000 building extension with the beginning of classes for the winter term tomorrow, Dr. S.

S. Edmands, direcof the school, announced yesterday, The addition completes the third unit of a projected quadrangle of engineering buildings presented by of the late Charles Pratt, founder of Pratt Institute. The new extension covers 60x70 feet and is three stories high, A lecture hall, accommodating 240 students, extends across the entire width on the third floor. The hall is provided with facilities for scientific and engineering demonstrations and for sound motion pictures. The addition contains also five new classrooms, each seating 45 students, and a design room accommodating 45.

A new office is for the mathematics department and extensions the present offices of the departments of mechanical and electrical engineering. The basement, previously built, is already functioning as a mechanical engineering laboratory. Like other units.of the engineering group the new building was designed by John Mead Howells. Members of the Institute's building committee were Dr. Edmands, Dr.

A. W. Doll, A. L. Cook and F.

Designer, John Willoughby extending 5 TRUSTEES APPEAL TO PWA FOR NEW CENTRAL LIBRARY Special Petition Forwarded to Ickes Cites Handicaps Suffered by Boro. A. petition for prompt action in approving construction of a Brooklyn Central Library building as a PWA project last night was forwarded to Secretary of the Interior Harold L.

Ickes, following action of the board of trustees of the Brooklyn Public Library, it was made known by Edwin L. Garvin, former U. S. District Judge, president of the library board. With the active cooperation of Borough President Ingersoll, through whose efforts the Board of Estimate recently approved the enterprise, the new plan for a Central Library building has been submitted to the Federal Government for inclusion among the Brooklyn projects for which Federal grants are being made, Judge Garvin stated in his announcement that a special petition has been sent.

Declaring that Brooklyn, with its population of more than 2,500,000, has central library facilities equal only to those of a city of 50,000 population, Judge Garvin said the board of trustees feels that construction of 8, Central Library building is one of the most urgent needs of the borough at the present time. "Erection of the Brooklyn Central Library is more worth while to this community," Judge Garvin declared, "than the spending of money on the many works that communities have been induced to accept in the effort to stimulate building." The resolution to Secretary Ickes passed by the Brooklyn Public Library Board as incorporated in a letter from Judge Garvin says: "I am instructed, by the vote of the trustees of the Brooklyn Public Library, to call to your attention the action of the Board of Estimate and Apportionment of the City of New York in approving the project for a central library building for the Brooklyn Public Library, and requesting the States Government to extend Federal aid to the enterprise (Docket No. 1459). "The trustees respectfully urge an early favorable response to this request from the New York Municipal authorities and a grant that will enable the city to erect the building from such funds as are now or may hereafter available for aid to local public works. We submit that there are few such enterprises 80 well calculated, in proportion to expenditure, to be permanently useful, to the community affected, stimulating to Improvement of business and employment.

"New York City undertook to erect a central library for Brooklyn over thirty years ago. Land assessed at $1,095,000 was set aside for the site, and more than 240.000 has been expended on foundations and other more than $3.000,000 lie completely idle, while the city pays rent for the library's administrative departments, and its collections are partly housed in an antiquated and crowded structure, and partly forced into dead storage owing to the fire hazard in that building. "It must give serious concern to every thoughtful observer of social conditions that thousands of young men and women just emerging from high school in a great city should have no adequate provision made for their reading and study, no place that appeals to their intellectual imagination and furnishes even reasonable comfortable and convenient opportunity for this side their development, while everything that tends to lower taste and deform character is temptingly presented on every side. "The municipal authorities do not feel that in the present state of city's finances they can erect this needed building entirely with city money, but, it thia Federal Government will give in the same manner and measure as it has given to other local projects in all parts of the country, they will furnish whatever else is necessary to this speedy provision of the library facilities that the people of Brooklyn have long greviously lacked." The petition was forwarded in behalf of the members of the board of trustees, comprising an outleaders follows: Francis J. standing body, of prominent civic Sullivan, secretary: Joseph P.

SETS RECORD JUDGE FRANKLIN TAYLOR JUDGE TAYLOR SET RECORD IN 1935 Verdicts Reached in 181 in County Court During the Year. A new record in the number of trials started and completed before juries in one year was established during the year just past by County Judge' Franklin Taylor. Judge Taylor in 1935 presided over 181 trials in which, verdicts were reached before a jury. The best previous record of pleted trials during a year, was established by Judge Taylor, when during 1934 he presided in 131 criminal cases wherein dispositions were made before juries. A record of 181 jury cases in one year means an average of almost a trial a day.

Frequently during the year Judge Taylor has had two juries at work. While one jury was deliberating on the fate of a defendant, a second would be hearing evidence against another defendant. The year 1935 was a one for all the judges of the County Court as well as District Attorney Geoghan and the members of his staff, as will be disclosed in the annual report of County Clerk John N. Harman, under whose supervision the work the County Court in its various departments is conducted. County Clerk Harman is completion, the and it details is expected his an- to be during the present week.

In the 181 jury cases disposed of before Judge Taylor, there were verdicts of guilty in 47 cases; in 57 instances the defendants pleaded guilty during trial, and in 77 cases there were verdicts of acquittal. EDWARD F. HUTTON WEDS MRS. METZGER Ceremony Takes Place on Southern Plantation. Ritter, S.

Jan. F. Hutton, New York capitalist, and Mrs. Dorothy Dear Metzger, of Miami, were married today at the Beech Hill plantation home of Mr. and Mrs.

Cleveland Sanders, near here. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Dr. R. G.

Wickersham, pastor of Bethel Presbyterian Church, at Walterboro, S. C. Only the Sanders and close friends of Hutton and Mrs. Metzger were present. The bride was given away by her father, William Y.

Dear. Tonight the Huttons will leave for a honeymoon in Palm Beach, Fla. CIRCUS OWNER FREED Escapes Term for Keeping Wild Animals Without Permit. Joseph Gangler, 39, of 1400 East was given a suspended sentence' yesterday in Pennsylvania Ave. Court when he pleaded guilty before Magistrate Cullen on a charge of keeping domestic and wild animals without a permit from Health Department.

the Patrolman Canarsie Station George charged Kensella that of Gangler, the proprietor of a traveling circus, permitted two bears to run loose on Wednesday, causing considerable disturbance in neighborhood. Gangler told the Court he was under the impression his circus permit covered keeping the animals. 2 JAILED IN SHOP ROBBERY Charged with robbing a Brooklyn haberdashery, Charles HIll, 20, of Hotel, Manhattan, and John Ross. 23, of 442 60th were held without bail when arraigned in Bay Ridge Court yesterday. In addition to the robbery charges, Hill was also held for violation of the Sullivan law.

They were arrested at 46th st. and Third after they allegedly had robbed Alexander Lief In his store at 5306 Third ave. buildings, showing new $100,000 Mead Howells, The buildings through to Steuben st, cold weather accidents and to in connection with frostbite, Red Cross, yesterday issued a and especially winter sports on frostbitten ears, hands, his arms along the ice ahead of a. him and edge forward until his hips are resting on the edge of the hole, he may then, it he scissor-like his legs so that his body is parallel to the ice, turn quickly and by exePouting a side-roll reach safety. For group rescue the Red Cross recommends the following: Skater No.

1 edges along flat on his atomach, approaches near enough to the hole to seize the victim's wrists. Skater. 2, also in a face-down position, holds one skate of the man ahead of him, using his free hand to work backward. The third rescuer drops to one knee, holding the skates of rescuer No. 2, and the fourth person stands upright bracling his skates to act as anchor man.

In attempting any ice rescue it should be borne in mind that an attempt to reach the victim too quickly is apt to prove disastrous. Remember that the weight of the body should be spread over the ice as evenly as possible to avoid breaking through, the principle being the same as in snowshoeing. A long rope, noosed at one end, is usually helpful in ice rescue. If the victim's hands are too numb to hold the rope it may, by expert and careful maneuvering, be looped under the victim's arms. The Red, Cross in Washington is soon to publish a new lifesaving handbook in which space will be With this innovation textbook devoted to ice rescue, technique.

By United Press Washington, Jan. -Plans for a. powerful Treasury Department law enforcement division under the Secret Service was proposed in an Administration supported bill introduced by Chairman Robert L.

Doughton, of the House Ways and Means Committee. The bill provides for unification of the Alcohol Tax Unit, the Intelligence Unit of the Internal Revenue Bureau, the Customs Service Agency and the Bureau of Narcotics, all to be under the Secret Service. The purpose of the consolidations, Doughton said today, would be to build up a unified law enforcement unit. in the Treasury, which would be the equal or surpass law enforcement activities along other lines by the Department of Justice. Largest in World More than 2,900 employes would be affected by the consolidation plan, Doughton said, adding that he planned to call his committee early next week to consider the legislation.

The bill would set up under the direction of Secretary of Treasury Henry Morgenthau, one of the largest -undercover agencies in the world. The 2,900 persons involved in the consolidation would outnumber Edgar Hoover's G- Men by nearly 621, but the agency would have no connection with the Department of Justice. Involved in the proposed consolidation are the following employes: Secret Service. 271; Bureau of Narcotics, 409: Bureau of Customs, 289; Bureau of Internal Revenue, 275, and Alcohol Tax Unit, 1,700. The annual expenditure for this group is estimated at $9,766,507.

Coordinated Basis The agencies now are operating on a coordinated basis under an Assistant Secretary, Harold would N. Treasury officials not reveal who is slated to head the consolidated agencies. although Graves is likely to be appointed to an important post. The new Treasury police force would outnumber combined other Federal detective forces. The Department of Labor now has 800 border patrolmen and immigration inspectors.

The Post Office has 525 inspectors. and the Department of Interior has an investigative force of 334. By FLAG BEFORE BUSINESS Town Meeting Delayed by Absence of Banner.
