BOARD ACCEPTS 
 GIFT OF LAND
Aldermen Reject Sugges- tiOn of Park Site for
 Bunker Hill Section

The board of aldermen last night rejected the suggestion that the Mo- Cauley property be purchased for use as a park on Bunker Hill. The matter was turned over to the board by the park board who received request from the Bunker Hill Com munity club that the park be pro- vided.
 The City Planning Commission notified the park board yesterday that the 50-foot strip of land on the northeast corner of West Main street and Watertown avenue has been donated to the city. The park commissioner was instructed to plant trees and make the strip into park.
 Permission was granted the EnE to hold Flag day exercises at Li- brary park June IA.
 Tine board referred to its property committee the matter of leas- ing the food and soft drink con- cession at Hamilton park for the coming summer, now held by Mitchell Corden. It is understood several other bids have been re- ceived, offering higher price.

 Of course they stand up when the band plays the national anthem. Not still and thoughtful or with tears in their eyes, but they take off their hats. At the Belmont Park races many kept talking, and scratched themselves, or marked their pro- grams when the band played that fine old tune.
 No one expects the mass of people anywhere to make tremendous sac rifices voluntarily. Luxury and money and goods have to be taken from them as it was taken from the embattled peoples of Europe. That time will come-and soon. Until then 1t will be impossible to realize what total war means.

 Americans have yet to know the sickening odors of burning flesh or to watch water from broken mains rise in crowded cellars from which there is no exit, no hope of rescue.
 When such things happened in London you had the impression the people and not the army were fight ing the war. The people, the rich and the poor, the old and the young saved London repeatedly with their rakes and their sand and their little hoses. They gave their blood in transmission, they gave up and are still giving up all luxuries and many necessities. It is an exception to see man of military age in civilian clothes in restaurant in London.
 Americans do not seem certain whom they are fighting. The gov- ernment comes in for more abuse and criticism than the Germans and the Japanese. When they curse Hit

 PEOPLE AID ENEMY"
 BY STALLING TRAFFIC
 New York was dead frozen fin the blackout- and so the authori- ties had become the unconscious allies of the enemy for that is precisely the condition raiding air men attempt to produce. Hitler knows killing civilians will win no battles and so he has little interest in killing civilians. If he can cre- .ate chaos, stop or scramble traffic, halt production, if only for a few hours, then the raid has been suc- cessful.
 London learned that early. Lon- don was ready the night in Sep- teElber, 1940, when the Germans first came in force. Tens of thou sands of trained men and women swept into the streets and did their jobs efficiently. In this one field of total war the English were ready.
 After New York's twenty-minute blackout, someone on Madison ave- nue said. "Of course 1t was just a trial. We haven't had experience yet We'll be all right after we've had one or two raids"
 To a man with the experience of some 1400 hours of German air raids on English cities, it seemed an ex- pensive and tragic manner of learn ing. People could be trained in ad- vance for this emergency-they have to be trained in advance if panic, useless destruction and loss of life are to be averted.
 PEOPLE NEED .t
 MORE TRAINING
 The people want training and guidance. The impression grows as one travels across the continent. The people are not in the war. Industry is in the war. American machines, mechanics, manufacturers are grind ing, riveting and planning as they never have done before.
 At Willow Run near Detroit a gleaming bomber comes off the line every few minutes; tanks chatter from newly-built factories in a mighty stream, acres of shells and bombs stand on the concrete floors of hundred plants. American in- dustry is harnessed and straining at it's job.
 You see it in Chicago and in Kan sas City. Blast furnaces burn in the night below the plane that carries you south and west.
 When you talk to generals you have the impression that they know what is needed and are preparing to do it with realism and drive.
 The army will fight when 1t is ready and the men who lead it are neither vague nor uncertain as to their objectives. The few sailors you meet also know what is required and that time in. which to do it is run ming out.
 But the people are not certain. They hardly have been touched, eX- cept those whose sons have left home for the camps or the seas or already have been sacrificed on Betaan or Wake or Pearl Harbor or in the deadly waters off Java.
 The people have never felt the lash of total war. They never have seen their historic monuments, their churches and hospitals ground to

ployment and that benefits could not be paid because the claimant was not available for work" with in the meaning Of the statute.
 The claimant had already filed his objection with his local draft board but had been put in class 4-F because of poor eyesight. Later, when his foreman told him that the work he was doing operating a screw machine was part of a de- fense contract, he resigned, stating that as he didn't believe in war he did not see why he should assist in the manufacture of any implements of war.
 In denying benefits the State Un- employment Compensation Depart ment pointed out that while 1t was not questioning the claimants right to be a conscientious objector eli- gihility for unemployment compen- sation benefits imply that the claimant is available" for work. "The phrase work connotes activ- ity in the performance of services for hire, directly or indirectly in the production of articles for use" the decision said. Tt is extremely difficult for us to discover any type of work which would not directly or indirectly contribute in some manner to the present war effort.
 The decision also stated that it was impossible to go into the per- sonal motives of the claimants in- asmuch as causes of resignation in order to make claimant eligible must be connected with employ ment", thus, it eliminated all per- sonal reasons that may be proper and valid under any other circum- stances"
