Heinz. 11, who was electrocuted on the Long Island Railroad tracks in Forest Park while picnicking yesterday with his mother. The child was found lying be- tween two third rails on the Rork- away Beach division, under Myrtle evenue near Woodhaven boulevard, midway between Glendale and Rich- mond Hill. The conductor of a westbound ex- press saw the body at 2 P M. and notified police. The Ozone Park Emergency Squad extricated the child and worked over him for an hour before Dr. Seotti of Jamaica Hospital pronounced him dead and had the body removed to the Quepns morgue. The boy evidently J had brushed the third rail as he attempted to cross the tracks alone and was killed instantly, police said. "We had such a good time yester- day." sobbed dark-haired Mrs.- Wirtz in the tidy living room of her five- room flat at 1827 Madison street. "We took our lunch to the park. Afterwards I rested and Heinz went for a little walk. "Ach, if only my poor boy had stayed with his mother," she ! moaned. "He was a good boy. and smart in ' school/' Wirtz, a merhanir, proudly recalled. "Here is his last report I card—all good marks! See where it says 'Promoted to fiA-1.* That is the best class!" The boy aJtended Public School 93. near his home. Heinz was born in Germany and came to the United States with his parents when he was a year old. The family settled in Ridgewood, leter moved to Williamsburg and three months ago returned to their first American home, leasing the Madison street flat. Funeral arrangements have not \et been completed. After the fu- neral, Wirtz said he will take his wife, now verging on a nervous col- lapse, on a trip. 14-MILE PAVING JOB STARTED MAYOR BREAKS GRODNP TODAY FOR HOSPITAL Tuberculosis Institution Is Part of Jamaica Med- ical Center Beetle Bobble Bursts Oxygen administered by Police Emergency Squad failed t# revive Heinz Wirts, 11, of 1827 Madison street.

Police Won Over, LaGuordia May Be Next Target Cadets Frolic Today In State Park An outing at Hempstpsd State Park is being held today by Com- pany A, National Cadets, of Spring- field Gardens. A recruiting drive will he started next month for the purpose of forming companies in Rosedale, Ozone Park and Queens Village. Jubilant at having won police ap- proval of their fight, Jamaica's youthful playground pickets today planned to carry their battle for a recreation field near their hom n s straight, to Mayor LaGuardia's door, if necessary. "We'll get, a playground, even if we must go to the mayor himself," declared 14-year-old Dick Dolson of 90-31 171st street, leader of the playground "strike." "We're canvassing the neighbor- hood and before long we'll have every kid around here on the picket line. We'll march to City Hall $t we must!" Bearing placards demanding play space, a roving picket line of a dozen boys ranging from 6 to 14 years, appeared yesterday ak the Jamaica Police Station and \pre- sented Juvenile Aid Bureau officers with a petition signed by 70 adults I in the neighborhood, endorsing the I boys' battle for a recreation field. "The officers said we have a | i 'just complaint'." gloated "Chick" i Lang. 12, of 90-23 171st street, who | led the line in the absence of his ! chief. Strike-leader Pick took time off I yesterday from the grueling battle ! to see the Chicago Cubs blank the Giants, 7-0, at the Polej Grounds. Dick was there as the guest of Dizzy Dean, an old friene} whom he first met in Ohio seven years ago. The children insist Ihey must walk too far and cross such traf- fic arteries as Jamaica and Hill- side avenues to reach tpe nearest playgrounds. When they arrive, older children refuse tflf let them play there because they mre strang- ers in the neighborhood, they complain. - New recruits, including many girls, are enlisting in Ihe picket army daily, Dick reporteal. "We want to help win the play- ground, too," declared Santa Gut- zit of 90-27 171st strept and June Lang, sister of "Chick." "We want swings and a tennis court." Before moving to Jamaica, Dick, the son of a Manhattan restaura- teur, led a successful three-day sit- down strike of 25 boys on the steps of the University of Pennsylvania's administration building to force the institution to grant them part of its v a c a n t p r o p e r t y Jjj>r a play- ground. FAIR TOURIST PLANS MADE •i There's an OLD WAY and a N E W W A Y TO BORROW MORTGAGE MOXEY Suppose you borrow $5,000 on your property. There are two ways to handle that debt—an old-fashioned, f costly way — a new, economical, sensible way. THE OLD f i x e d m o r t g a g e plan la You borrow $5,000. 3a You pay $250 in interest erery year at 5^. 3a In 20 year* you have paid $5,000 in interest. 4. After 20 vears YOU still owe $5,000. * THE MEW AND BETTER a m o r t i z e d m o r t g a g e plan I* You borrow $5,000. 2» Every month y o u p a y $ 3 3 t o redure the principal and pay interest. Jl. Each time you reduce the principal you also reduce the interest. 4. In 20 years you only pay $2,020 in interest at 5 r o. 5a And after 20 years you owe nothing.

Runcirnan, I British "adsiver," neared Prague | to cooperate in negotiations he- j tween government and , minority 1 leaders. * A plan for gradual extension of self government to the minority areas was suggested a week ago by the independent German lan- guage newspaper Bohemia. Well informed foreign quarters asserted today, that they had rea- son to believe that the suggestion was gaining approval in both gov- ernment and German minority circles: and that it might pr6ve the most likely solution of the prob- lem, i Those who approved the plan held that it would offer distinct advantages to both sides and would remove any immediate dan- ger of conflict, at the same time ful- filling the essentials m- the de- mand$ of the German minority for autonomy. » Premier Milan Hodza last night officially invited the Sudeten Ger- man Minority Party to negotiate on th^> statute prepared by the gov- ernment. The invitation was hand- ed to] Ernst. Kunrit, a Sudetan Par- ty paHimentary leader. It [was asserted officially that Hodza had given a "satisfactory di- rect answer" to Kundt's" five ques- tions &s to his intentions in the mi- nority problem. Groundbreaking ceremonies for the new $3,000,000 tuberculosis hos- pital in Jamaica wilt be held this afternoon with Mayor LaGuardia officiating at the steam shovel. The building will be constructed on a city-owned site adjoining the Queens general Hospital and will have a bed capacity of 530. In addition to Mayor LaGuardia, Colonel Maurice Gitmore, PWA re- gional director and his assistant, Howard A. Gray, will speak. Dr. Sheldon L. Buter, deputy hospitals commissioner, will represent Dr. S. S. Goldwater. The tuberculosis ouildihg with the existing pavillion for contagious diseases will form the second unit of the ^municipal medical center planned. for Jamaica. The building will be known is Triboro hospital and will he nine stories bigh of light grey brick with liniestone trim. It will he erected at the corner of Parsons boulevarp and Goethals avenue. Special emphasis on light and air will be achieved by open balconies and roofs, glass enclosed solaria and patients' rooms with great ex- panses of windows. \-Ray Facilities - The hospital will be for active treatment -of the disease with ex- tensive X-ray and surgical facili- ties. Most of the patients will be accomodated in six-bed wards with exterior walls almost entirely of clear window glass. Glass partitions will divide the wards, which will have 12-foot ceil- ings. Each floor for patients will con- tain three glass-enclosed solaria at each end and in the center. The end wings will have both open and sheltered roofs for the patients. The rooms will open on exterior balconies, constructed on Ihe can- tilever principle and requiring no supporting columns to hinder light. ; Social Service Layout The first floor^ will contain the \ administrative section, social serv- j ice rorims, and admitting and out- patient departments. The second will bet devoted to laboratories, op- j crating and radiography' depart-j ments and space assigned to occu- | pational therapy, metabolism, den- j tistry, cystoscopy, and ear, nose i and throat work. Besides the wards, the upper floors will contain kitchens, isola- tion and treatment rooms and other laboratories. The basement, connected by tun- nel with Queens General Hospital, will have locker ahd storage space and dinings rooms for the staff. The PWA is giving the city $1,- 317,870 for the work. The Board of Estimate has approved an appro- priation of $1,610,675 as the city's share of the cost. False rumors that a Manhattan doctor was offering 50 cents a hun- dred, for live Japanese beetles sent a horde of eager young "Frank Bugs" on al all-day insect safari through darkest Flushing-Hillcrest yesterday. "Bring 'em back alive," echoed through once quiet streets as girls and bo^s scrambled over lawns and rooted under shrubbery filling tall jelly and pickle jars with the brown pests now menacing Long Island plant life. -One skeptical lady gardener, who hates the pests but can't imagine anybody hating them to the extent of 50-cents-a-hundred's-worth, in- vestigated and traced the story to its source. "Stop hunting kids," she advised the children after completing her investigation. "The older boys in the neighborhood are having a Lit- tle fun with you. It's all a joke." A roaring Japanese Beetle bon- fire dissolved some of the juvenile disappointment resulting from the hoax. _J APVEBT1SEMENT HELP STOMACH DIGEST FOOD, •MP la NaAt tbooId difaat twa poundi af 1 aallT.

J., as a disorderly person. Pete'-freund, an associate in the office of Samuel Leibowftz, was ar- rested at the home of Romaine Mullin in Hoboken, when he called to attempt to obtafn a statement in connection with the murder charge against Joseph Scutellaro.

Refugee Conference Resumes Sessions LONDON (UP)--The Internation- al Refugee Conference, called at the invitation of President Roosevelt, resumed its work today with slight- ly improved prospects of relieving the plight of refugees of greater Germany, German delegates were absent, but many of the 31 other nations which were represented in initial refugee conferences at E v i a n, France, last month, were present. The task of dealing with Germany was eatpected to fall directly upon George^ Rublee, a Washington law- yer whom Mr. Roosevelt suggested as executive director of the commit- tee to handfc refugee negotiation*.

WHY FALSE TEETH WEARERS HAVE BAD BREATH Millions Suffer Without Knowing! You cant notice any odor from your plate or bridge-but others cant Dentists call this odor "denture breath" and It's aerioua. It comes from a mucin-scum that collects on plates and bridges. This scum it al- most invisible-but it can make your breath so bad that friends shudder. It can breed de- cay-bacteria that infect your other teeth, actually hurt your health and spoil your pleasure. Ordinary brushing cant get this scum off plate or bridge-can't protect you against "denture breath." But jutt try Polident! Poli- dent not or# cleans-it actually purifies plates $nd bridges with- out brushing.
