seen today after their contrasting

While the champs had to come

Psychologists Says
Uncertainty Will Fade
When Action Is Set
Strikes, Divided Opinion
Held Outword Sign of
Nations Indecision

The approaching crises, with their
fateful decisions, is bringing out
the weak points of the Nation as
well as the individual.
Yet strikes, divided opinions and
heated controversies, in the opin-
ion of DR.. Albert G.. de Quevedo.
practical psychologist, are only the
results of uncertainty and will be-
gin to disappear once decision has
been reached.
"A nation and an individual are
much alike" DR.. de Quevedo said.
Neither is apt to give much out
ward sign of what the reaction will
be to an emergency. Both when
threatened by danger seek some So
luton. There may be a period of
great uncertainty, with many al
ternatives in view, until a decision
has been reached.
"On the decision and the man
ner in which it is carried out de-
pends whether the individual or the
nation becomes a success or some
thing resembling a neurotic."
Fear Unknown Enemy.
DR.. de Quevedo, who has been
lecturing this week at Memorial
Continental Hall under sponsorship
of Catholic World Secretariat of
University Federations, has been
impressed by the number of per-
sons who have consulted him about
mental attitudes of fear and un-
certainty.
Yet, he said, 1t is only natural
for the individual to fear an un-
known enemy. This attitude, for
the average individual quickly
changes from the negative to one of
positive action after he sees his
enemy and knows he must fight.
I'm afraid our period of con-
fusion will continue" DR.. de Que
vedo said, until We do one of two
things-get in the war or get out
Of it."
Torn Between Disputes.
The psychologist expressed SYM
pathy for that fellow in the White
House, who has a terrific job just
now" and for the young people
leaving schools and colleges to seek
q place in a world of uncertainty.
Many are torn between political
creeds andl faiths or bewildered by
disputes between capital and labor
and between labor groups fighting
one another.
DR.. de Quevedo is inclined to re-
turn to the individual for a solu-
ton of the worlds ills. He believes
In democracy and individualism as
means of building the strongest
possible nation. since, in his opin-
ion, totalitarianism stiles magma
tion and initiative.
The psychologist was in Europe
rust before the war. Nothing he
saw in France or England prepared
him for the cleanliness and order
he found in Italy. Upon reflection,
however, it occurred to him that
zone can find perfect cleanliness
and order in a prison"
The psychologist, who opened his
series Sunday night, will lecture to-
night and tomorrow at $50 pm.

VACANT LOTS

Almost all of the sale property
is vacant lots.
Foster pointed out the compare
tive cheapneSs of obtaining park
land through the Scavenger sale
as compared with the purchases
and condemnation of park lands
which the city has undertaken in
the past.
The city paid SS.2O0,OO0 for the
Gabriel Richard Park at the head
of the Belle Isle bridge. which
contains only % acres. The cost
of the 33-acre Memorial Park was
$4,000, to which $4,000 was
added in improvements.
To put Detroit on a par with
New York City. Chicago, Boston
and many other large cities in
park facilities the acreage of
parks here would have to be al
most doubled.
Detroit has $50 persons for
every acre of parks and the cor
responding figure for New York
is 273, for Chicago 3S2 and for
Boston 1886. Detroit is ninth in
the list of cities in park acreage,
although fourth in population.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-02-27
PARK SITES PICKED

After surveying all of the $4,000
scavenger properties in the city,
A. B. Foster, superintendent of
park maintenance, selected 80
sites for parks which could have
been obtained through the scaven-
ger sale at an almost negligible
cash cost TO the city.
Then, on the suggestion that
parks and Fairgrounds OF less than
three acres were less desirable, he
cut the request down to p sites.
Those II sites were all located
in parts of the city which are not
now adequately served with park
and recreation areas and repre-
sented the minimum for large
scale park expansion program.
The p locations comprised 38f
acres and were valued at $8l6.410.
This reduced program was then
submitted TO the controllers office,
where the whole plan was virtually
tossed in the waste basket.
The group requests which the
department was finally allowed TO
bid on comprises three small park
additions having a total of five and
eight-tenths acres valued at

City Fails TO Buy
Bdrgdin-Pri(ed
Lots for Park
BY JAMES II. INGLIs

Detroit's inadequate park sys-
tenn. which compares unfavorably
with nearly every other city in the
United States, has received an
other severe setback.
Mayor Jeffries and Common
Council have refused the Depart
ment of Parks and Recreation
permission to participate to any
sizeable extent in the scavenger
sale of tax-delinquent state-owned
land in Detroit, which resumed
this week.
In the meantime real estate OPP
orators and land spectators have
started picking up the properties
at bargain prices-an average of
less than l per cent above the
minimum allowable bid.

MENTIONED IN ACT

However, the Scavenger Act
specifically states that munich
paliiy may bid at the sale for any
piece OF property IL needs, pro-
vided that the property so
acquired shall be put TO a public
use any time within 10 years after
the sale.
Several other Michigan cities,
including Ann Arbor and Dear
born, have undertaken large land
acquisition programs through the
sale.
In bidding at the sale a city
only has TO put up in cash the
amount of state taxes owed on
the property. which in the case
of Detroit property represents less
than 10 per cent of such taxes.
c. r. Hill, director of the sales
in Wayne County, admitted that
much of the property is not being
bid in by the former owners but
by real estate men who have
bought up quit-claim deeds from
the previous owners.
The sales of Detroit properties
started Monday and results to
date show that bidding has been
almost negligible. almost all of
the property going for the mimi
mum bid, which is 25 per cent Of
the 1888 assessed valuation. On
an average, this is about 40 per
cent of the outstanding tax debt.

TANNED LAST SUMNER

Foster explained that the city's
parks were damned almost to the
limit last Summer and that they
would probably be more so next
Summer.
Chandler and Palmer parks
have already passed the satura-
ton point. and Belle Isle has
just about reached that point"
Foster stated.
Rouge Park Is the only one In
the city designed to meet future
demands at ALL"
When the mayor went before
Common Council last week to ex-
plain his recommendation for not
a large land acquisi-
ton program through the Scaven-
ger sale. ne stated that in his
opinion bidding at the sale by the
city was not in accordance with
the spirit of the Scavenger Act"
