For the duties of a1 fireman neither begin nor ends at the scene of the fire, according to Fire Chief R.

L. Lampley. "One of the greatest assets of the fireman in serving his community is his first aid training," Lampley said. So far this season, the depart ment has received several calls to the scenes of near-drowning accidents. "In one case," the chief said, a 12-year-old boys was thought to have been dead at a Mont gomery swimming pool." "Firemen reached the scene and found life in the boy and ap plied first aid." "In an hour, the boy was yelling his head off," he said.

Among equipment at the Mad ison Avenue fire station is a re-suscitator, a machine used to give artificial respiration in case of shock, near-drowning and to victims of smoke. "This machine is one of the most valuable in the department," Lampley commented. "It costs about $400 and already a score of Montgomerians owe their lives to it." The machine automatically ad justs itself to give artificial res piration to infants, adolescents or adults. Oxygen for the apparatus is available in large quantities at a local business establishment. The fire chief handed out some advice to people who seek relief from the heat by swimming.

"Don't go into the water whie your body is very hot, he sad "This is liable to cause cramps. which is one of the greatest causes of "Don't go into the water alone unless you are a very good swimmer," he added. "Other bathers at a swimming pool are added insurance should you have an accident. "In large bodies of water, don't go too far, from the shore. Remember, when all your energy is used up swimming away from the shore, you have to get back somehow.

"Swim where there are life guards," he suggested. "Most of these men have been versed in first aid, and it can -sometimes mean the difference life and death to you." "Remember to call the fire department should a drowning occur in your presence. We are on call 24 hours a day, every day and can usually save the life of a victim if called in time," he declared. 2 Negro Youths Hurt In Accident Two Negro children received minor injuries here yesterday in automobile accidents.

At his home in Baltimore, Latti-tnore said there was no truth whatsoever" in any such The State Department itself had said the tip was uncon-firmed, and it gave no additional as to its origin. Order To Stand i The order barring Lattimore's departure from this country, it was learned from reliable sources, will stand until the inquiry has been completed. That may come within a week. What will be done about the ban then whether it will be removed whether some other kind of ruining will be made is something that officials declined to comment on today. Lattimore, a professor at Johns 'Hopkins University and at times in the past a consultant to the State Department, has been a con- troversial figure since Sen.

Questioning Likely 11 He has appeared several times before congressional committees 'looking into various phases of com-imunism. It seemed likely that he would be called back for questioning by some such group as to -whether he planned to visit Russia or one of the satellites, but no 4 such plans had jelled. Lattimore said he had been thinking of accepting a proffered iob teaching at the University of JK'ew Delhi in India, and had talked twith Johns Hopkins superiors about the possibility of a year's leave of absence.

In New Delhi, university spokesman said Lattimore had been invited through the Indian Education Ministry to teach political science there next year but he had declined. "There was also the possibility of going to Europe," Lattimore "i said, but "my thinking hadn't gone i bevond England." He said he hadj not contemplated a visit to Russia or any of the satellite states. All trips by U. S. citizens to Russia or the satellites "are banned -unless they obtain special permis-ision from, the State Department.
