This civic stuff Is Merchants Rap Delay On Housing Project Celebrate Smashing Of Hindenburg Line 500 From 106th Infantry See Themselves and Absent Buddies Fighting Battle of 17 Years Ago in Movie of Turning of Allies' Tide Sitting in a tense group that spoke eloquently of nerves strung to the breaking point, 500 men in a darkened room last night re-lived lor a few minutes the soul-stirring experiences that were imprinted on their minds for all time Just Wills Urged Defeat Of Referendum on City Power Plant Tells Masons Venture Into 'Socialism' Would Be the Wrong Way for Result Defeat for the referendum authorizing the city to build its own power plant was urged last night by Louis C. Wills, president of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce. He asked for strong opposition to the measure on Election Day to prevent the city's making "a grave mistake." Hope Reigns At New Year Fete of Jews Rosh ha-Shana Ushered in as Leaders Laud Faith, Score Tyranny Messages of hope for Jews were delivered last night throughout the borough as Brooklyn's Jewry began their observance of Rosh Hashana, the New Year, with services in temples, synagogues, hospitals, institutions and homes. At sundown yesterday the year 5695 In the ancient Hebrew calendar ended, and a ten-day penitance period of high holidays began which will continue until Yom Klppur, or Ejay of Atonement, on Oct.

7. The Jewish New Year will be observed the world over by Orthodox, Conservative and Reform congregations. Orthodox Jews will continue their services until sunset tomorrow, while Reformed Jews will end their observance at sunset today. Shofar Summons Faithful In almost all Jewish houses of worship, the Shofar, or Ram's Horn, was blown to arouse all members of the faith to a realization of their front improvement, said that "Borough President Ingersoll and Public Works Commissioner Ward, In 18 months have changed the entire topography of Sheepshead Bay." "The new Sheepshead Bay for which we have been agitating for years, is here," he said. "Visitors are awed by the complete transformation of the local scene: the broad 120-foot highway that will eventually be lined with shade trees, the wide sidewalks extending 20 blocks from Sheepthead Bay Road eastward to Bragg the unobstructed view of the deepened and cleared waterway; a vast new seawall, with 10 new modern concrete piers soon to be constructed.

Gone are the squalid structures of another day. Gone, too, is the cheap commercialism which retarded the bay's proper development." The Improvements, Mr. Shane added, will remain as "monuments to the memory of good public servants." Bergen Beach 'Gateway' When Island Ave. and Avenue between E. 71st and 72d Bergen Beach, are completely paved and graded, a 5,000 square foot area will be marked off for Bergen Square.

This square will be the gateway to Bergen Beach, according to a spokesman of the Bergen Beach Civic Association. At the last meeting of the Brooklyn Civic Council, a letter from the Flatbush Chamber of Commerce was read asking the council to pass a resolution approving the selection of West Island in Jamaica Bay as the best available site for New York City's proposed free port and the appointment of a committee to work with committees of other groups. A committee was appointed by the council to consider the letter and to study the question of a free port of entry. The committee chosen will report at the next meeting. the regiment.

The scenes showed how the ravages of war were repaired by time, and were unfamiliar to most of the former doughboys. The feature of last night's reunion, marking the 17th anniversary of the smashing of the Hindenburg Line, was the election of Col. William A. Taylor, war-time of the regiment, as honorary commander for life. Edward J.

Barrett, commander of 106th Infantry- Post 2946, presented Colonel Taylor with an engraved scroll. Col. Frank C.

Schmltt and S. Attarlan. Williamsburg Groups in Agitation to Speed Up Rehabilitation, Claiming Business Is Hurt By A. I. SCHNIPELSKY Residents and vssmen near the low-rental housing project In Williamsburg are distressed by the continued delay in the rehabilitation work.

Construction hammers are not banging away at a rate fast enough for them, they claim. So a resolution was adopted asking Federal authorities to put some real steam into the shovels at the project. The businessmen particularly are anxious to see the area beyond the architect's drawing stage. Says Business Is Hurt Miss Sarah Shimkin, civic worker and head of the Manhattan Ave. Merchants Association, said that her group is supported in its requests for speeding up the wor'- at the 12-square-block housing improvement by the Graham Ave.

Merchants Association and the Williamsburg Merchants group. She has sent the resolutions to Secretary of the Interior Ickes, Mayor LaGuardia and Langdon W. Post, chairman of the Municipal Housing Authority. Added Miss Shimkin: "If these new houses are not put up soon, most of the business people and residents in this area will be so destitute, that when the project is done, they "will be unable to enjoy any of Its Intended benefits. "You know, the section is practically deserted, business has been killed, but still there is no work being done." May Win New School 'After six years of agitation.

Public School 247 may be a reality. This news was reported last night at a meeting of the Benson Park Civic Association by Nathaniel I. Helfgott, chairman of the organization's educational committee. The new school will be located at 21st Ave. and 70th St.

and will cost about $326,000. Although the loan for the needed improvement has been obtained, plans -nd specifications of theschool must first be approved by the Board of Estimate. Mr. Helfgott also reported that repairs for P. S.

205 are now under way. Topography Changed Grateful for the Improvements Introduced by borough officials in Sheepshead Bay, David Shane, president of the Independent Civic Association of Sheepshead Bay, in a statement today, on the completion of the first stage of the bay's water Naval Whaleboats Will Race Oct. 6 The annual championship whale-boat race for Naval Reserve divisions of the 3d Naval District will be held in the Hudson River at 4 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 6.

The course will extend from 120th St. to the finish line off the gangway of the U. S. S. Illinois at 98th St.

Fifteen crews, each representing one naval reserve division or one marine corps reserve company, are to compete for the R. A. C. Smith Memorial Trophy, donated by associates of the late former president of the National Navy Club. The present holder of the trophy is the Seventh Fleet Division of the 2d Battalion, Brooklyn.

Speaking before about 100 members of Orient Chapter, 138. R. A. In Masonic Temple, Mr. Wills found the venture into would be the wrong way of doing the right thing.

"If it is the reduction of rates we want, let it be done through the Public Service Commission and if the present board cannot do that, let us get some new commissioners. Compared With Subway "We are told that it will cost $45,000,000. But that is only the start. We were told that our subway Investment would be only and it ts now 30 times that figure costing almost $50,000,000 a year in Interest alone. "The subways lose money and you make up the deficit in increased taxes.

Let it not be that way with the power plant." Mr. Wills looked to the proposed Greenville, N. J. -Bay Ridge freight tunnel as a better investment for the advance of Brooklyn industry. Although the project is estimated to cost $56,000,000, he pointed out it will pay Immediate returns, "$354 per enr, a ten percent rate." Cites Port Advantages It took a five-year fight in the Jersey Lighterage Case to sustain Brooklyn's right to free lighterage in the port unity, Mr.

Wills noted, as he found Newark looming as a threat to attract traffic from the borough waterfront with lower rates. Emphasizing Brooklyn's right to port advantages, he cited that its 200 miles of waterfront handles 60 percent of New York Harbor's trade which represents one-half of the Imports, one-third of the exports of the nation. Mr. Wills awarded other honori to Brooklyn: leading candy consuming center of the country and site of the largest spaghetti factory producing the maximum mileage. William Maercker, chairman of the speakers committee, introduced the speaker and commended The Eagle's editorial policy on the power plant asserting "there could be more efficient expenditure of BOYS PLAN FROLIC The first of a series of Fall frolics sponsored by the Flatbush Boys' Club will be held Friday.

Judd Talks Of Women's Part In Aiding Religion What women can do In common to further the ideals of religion regardless of faith or creed, was the theme yesterday afternoon of Mrs. Orrin R. Judd, one of Brooklyn's leading Protestant Church women, at the opening luncheon meeting of the Women's Advisory Committee of the National Committee for Religion and Welfare Recovery at the Town Hall, 123 W. 43d Manhattan. "We may have In common as women, regardless of our religious creed, a common worship of one God the Father of all mankind; a community of spirit no matter by what name we call our God; a common petition 'Thy Kingdom Come'; and the world of service to our fel-lowmen," Mrs.

Judd said. "We are spiritually ineffective when men and women are unthinking, unseeing and uncaring. Worship must be real and sincere." Mrs. Judd stressed the Importance of training in the home by both precept and example, saying, "We are providing ancestors for our children. What we do together as women is dependent upon what we do in our homes and in our social contacts.

Forgetting our fellowmen Is the great defect of our national character." Mrs. Alexander Kohut and Mrs. John S. Reilly, leaders respectively among Jewish and Catholic women, spoke along the same lines, emphasizing the importance of religious training in the home and the need for better understanding between those of differing religious faiths. Mrs.

Jesse M. Bader, chairman of the committee, presided. Coney Shipyard Engine Jiggles Magistrate Vincent J. Sweeney will decide in two weeks whether or not the Wheeler Shipyard Company has been maintaining a public nuisance at its plant at Coney Island Creek and Cropsey Ave. Decision was reserved yesterday after Magistrate Sweeney had heard four hours of testimony in Municipal Term, Par Two, of the Magistrate's Court.

The company, according to the complaint made by Inspector David Nelson of the Health Department, is charged with disturbing the "peace and quiet of persons living in the neighborhood," due to the vibration of generating machines In its plants. Residents Jiggled, They Say Residents testifying at the morning session told Magistrate Sweeney they couldn't sleep at night, that their beds and dishes were equally shaken by the vibration. In rebuttal, Defense Attorney Elizabeth Stern put Eugene Wheeler, secretary of the company, on the stand to testify that trucks rumbling over the Coney Island Creek bridge caused much vibration In the vicinity. Mr. Wheeler also testified that there were 15 other industries operating on the creek.

He said the Diesel engines for generating power were installed last May. Assistant Corporation Counsel Sidney M. Freeman asked Mr. Wheeler: "Isn't it true that the nearest structures to your plant are residential houses?" The witness admitted it was so. Magistrate Sweeney asked that briefs be submitted and said he would make his decision in two weeks.

A fine up to $500 can be levied if the company is found guilty. Somewhat travelworn, Mike and Melissa completed their eight-day trip yesterday when they arrived at Pennsylvania Station. They were coaxed from their packing case homes into the bear cage at Central Park with considerable hysterical accompaniment, but once transferred they climbed to the top of a tree and settled down for a good snooze. PI In Their Fate Raising Future Soldiers Regarded Their Only Service of Any Value By GUY HICKOK Alone among the alarmed mothers of all Europe, Italian women today are repeating the farewells of May twenty years ago when more than five and a hall million Italian eons and husbands marched away, 600,000 to be recorded as prisoners or missing, 650,000 to die, 947,000 to be torn and pierced by steel and live, 2,197,000 in aU to be listed under the all-inclusive term of casualties nearly seven times the total casualties of the A. E.

F. The mothers of today were then young women cheering the sons of others off to a nearby war. Today their own, barely grown to manhood, are being shipped 4,000 kilometers away, the width of the North Atlantic from Portugal to Newfoundland. Last June Fascist militiamen beat Naples wives and mothers down with rifle butts when hundreds screamed, sobbed and clung to conscripted lads as they stumbled up the transport gangplanks in weeping streams. The list of Injured was long.

It was a serious enough riot to be mentioned even In the censored Italian press not, however, as a pag-iant of heartbreak, but as a regrettable display of poor patriotism. Farewells Avoided Care Is taken now to embark troops from ports In which their families do not live. Women can watch the sons of other mothers shipped to war with more becoming calmness when streamers across troopship sterns flaunt the official legend, "We Wish to Die for Our Duce." In spite of official declarations that Italy to a man Is aflame with thirst for combat It Is whispered among the knowing that prisons about the great ports of farewell are packed with youth who have managed somehow to miss the boats for Eritrea. Naples has always been a tumultuous city. All Summer it has been a bedlam, the osterias filled with troops spending their last lire on Italian soil before marching to the docks, to be replaced by new and ever now uniformed legions.

The pale blue semi-circle of the harbor, empty during the dull years, Is dotted with as heterogeneous a collection of hulls as ever was assembled. Cranes creak and groan along the docks day and night hoisting Inexhaustible numbers of motortrucks, cases of rifles, machine guns, motorcars, tanks and Incredible quantities of four-Inch Iron piping (for water conduits) Into Insatiable holds. Bawling cattle and braying mules urged on by yelling herdsmen clatter through the streets to stumble up ramps into black holes, or are slung aloft to be lowered Into hatches. Carry Drinking Water Most startling sight of all, perhaps, Is the mountains of drinking water in barrels, whose transport to distant Massawah casts a highlight on life at the other end of II Duce's far-flung line. An Italian-speaking foreigner tried to sound out troop morale.

Six young soldiers seated before their chiantl detected his accent and stared at him with hard black eyes. "How long?" he asked. "A week. We tak ship tonight," mumbled one. "Happy?" The black eyes grew hostile.

"'Our lives are not our own," he replied after drawing a 4ong breath. When 1 Duce orders we have but to obey. Only the patria counts." After another silence the foreigner suggested, "Life in a busy and peaceful Italy is as fine as anywhere." Quotes Propaganda Another of the six spoke this time, slowly and softly at first, then more rapidly: "What good is a monotonous life with each hour like the others? We must prefer tumultuous days the storm with everything in strain. We must destroy what is old and build the work of the future. Days like that are worth years." The speech was a faithful echo of the official Mussolini philosophy sprayed daily like liquid fertilizer over the country to keep courage from wilting.

In Milan and in nearby Turin Industry is throbbing, turning out everything that an army in the field may use. For the first time in years factories are working three shifts around the clock, and in booh towns and business that has the remotest connection with military needs is booming. But it is plain as day that the spirit of the people Is in no way represented by the rhetorical bombast of Benito Mussolini. To a stranger no one will venture any note out of harmony with the official orchestra, but to those who live here and to whom a workman, peasant or business man may talk with confidence thai he will not be betrayed, the prevailing attitude Is, "Shall we never know tranquillity?" and "Where is Italy going now?" Only Outward Show Public enthusiasm responds only In outward form to the drum beating from above. "How long will the money last?" Is the anxious quer.

of the bankers, who, Ironically enough, were among those who helped boost Mussolini to his limitless power. Men In the know say that even the general staff loathes the Idea of an Ethiopian war. Some there are who hint that II Duche Is mad a fully developed case of paranoia, but that hint is in whispers which one must lean close to hear. Women's role in all this Is the Immemorial one of acceptance. Visitors to Rome find the headquarters of the women's Fascist ectlon In an attic six flights up with no elevator, and the glances of the Fascist youth as the women ivemi before baby comes 17 years ago.

Although they have long since reen returned to their various walks in life, the past became only too real as these members of the wartime 106th Infantry A. E. F. again iopped off at the "zero hour," via the medium of the silver screen. Once more they received that final said a silent prayer, and harged to Recognize Absent Buddies And, although many of those present last night recognized themselves as the actual battle scenes flashed across the screen, there were many others far away from last night's 17th reunion.

But they jived once more In their comrades' memory as taps was played and a silence observed following the showing of the official movies. The movies, which showed actual combat scenes taken at Ypres, Jonc de Mer Ridge and the Somme, were securea through the courtesy of Maj. B. N. Carvelho, assistant chief of the S.

O. and were shown by Sgt. B. Carvalho, Squadron A. In striking contrast to the war lilms, movies taken at the "front lines of today," were shown by Donald C.

Strachan, former captain In climb up betray no great esteem for the top floor department. Women have not been dispossessed of political powers they once enjoyed, as In Germany. They never had any rights. Status Unchanged In no Western European country has the status of women changed so little during the centuries as In Italy, where exaltation of men above women has been almost as immovable as the rock foundations of the peninsula. Now the status of men has been leveled down through the exaltation of one man over all Italians until no one man or woman has Inalienable rights at all.

Even in the heyday between 1918 and the Fascist march on Rome in 1922, when political parties multiplied like flies and politics were so "advanced" that Communism seemed imminent, Italian women in the lnass bestirred themselves little. Lack of any large educated middle class partly explained this passivity. A minority of wealthy and titled women had privileges sufficient to please them. The rest were schooled by Church and tradition in acquiescence to the routine of toil and child-bearing sent surplus Italians streaming in hundreds of thousands annually to both Americas and to North Africa and which overflowed all of Italy's land frontiers until the Italian population living outside Italy is estimated at nearly a quarter of that within the borders. Clamors for Children Still Mussolini clamors for children.

One cannot but wonder what is in the minds of dictators of hungry peoples who clamor for more mouths to feed. The quickest and easiest answer is that they want men in uniform. But boy children born in 1935 in response to command and birth bounties will have no immediate military value. For two decades they will be only problems of demand for food where the supply is short. There were the beginnings, in the first years after the war, of a movement to liberalize woman's position.

A national ouncil of Italian women led by the Countess Gabri-ella Spaletto Rasponi formed to unite women's associations, to promote administrative and juridical reforms, to create opinion favorable to questions of interest to women, and to promote their moral and economic uplift. But it came from the upper crust downward, and its penetrative power was small. Then came Fascism. An association of wives and mothers of combatants had as its purpose "to keep alive memories of heroes, to beflower their tombs and aid their relatives." Worthy but not in any sense progressive. The non-partisan Professional Women's Union, organized to promote the interests of Italy's few professional women, more nearly approached Western ideas of feminist progress.

But the year of its foundation, 1922, saw the Fascist march on Rome. Backwardness Explained Much apparent backwardness In feminism is explained the edu cational system, which provides brief primary training for the daughters of the poor, and music, dancing, needle work and domestic economy "as special education to girls of the upper classes." The Femina Licea canalized even the small quota of upper class girls out of the stream of the nation's political life into home pursuits, instead of aiding them into the universities and professional schools in which women leaders normally develop. In Italy's now defunct radical parties were many active women. Had Italy continued a self-governed nation their influence, during the 13 years blanked out by Fascism might have been considerable. Ten years ago Mussolini made a gesture toward women but quickly countered it with another against all Italians.

He granted a narrowly limited municipal suffrage to women over 25 who had been decorated, or who were mothers or widows of war dead, who could read and who paid annual taxes of not fewer than 45 lire. Then he abolished all popular suffrage. Moral, for women, of these studies of Germany, France and Italy: Where dictatorship walks, the political power of women dies. The moral for men is not greatly different. Copyright, McClure ltewroaptr SrndlcuW.

shortcomings, and to cause them to attend to their spiritual needs. The largest borough celebation was held in the Academy of Music, where 1,900 members of the Union Temple, 17 Eastern Parkway, attended Reformed Jewish services. Rabbi Sidney Tedesche of the Temple told the gathering that the persecuted German Jew will find a way out of his misery Just as other Jews before him did when arrogant tyrants were overwhelmed "by the forces of enlightenment." "They say, and correctly, that time in that country has been set back. But the Jew is the very clock of life In that country where insolence and darkness prevail, and soon as in other times the clock will be in motion again. "The Jew is the clock which tells whether there Is enlightenment or darkness in any given country.

When the clock reads day or night, it Is night or day for all for Jew or Christian or pagan. The wise man, the liberal man whose freedom means anything at all to him will realize this, even though his sleep during the period of night may be less troubled than the tortured sleep of the Jew," he declared. The Jewish problem in Nazi Germany, said Rabbi Tedesche, Is really the problem of people all over the world. Understand Past, Rabbi Says More than 1,000 attended services at the Beth Sholom People's Temple, Bay Parkway and Benson Ave. Rabbi Max Reichler conducted the services.

"As we look back over the centuries, we see that while Iniquity, arrogance, and tyranny seemed to have flourished for a time, yet they have always gone down under the wrath of God and man. Therefore, when we are indignant and puzzled because of a Hitler's brutality and stupidity, we must understand the past. Understanding it, we cannot yield to cynicism and the philosophy of chance," said Rabbi Reichler. "For we cannot believe that the laws of life have been abrogated," he continued, "that the universal laws of retribution, so clearly manifest in the events of the past, have ceased to function, that resentment of tyranny has died in the hearts of men, that the God of Justice and love has become indifferent to the doings of men." Services Held at Hospital At the Jewish Sanitarium for Incurables, 86 E. 49th special services were held for 350 patients, who were wheeled into a synagogue in the building.

Rabbi Jacob Busky officiated. Services lead by Rabbi Aaron J. Aronim in another synagogue in the building were attended by more than 500 members of the institution. Tomorrow morning a special prayer for German Jews will be recited by Rabbi Aronim. At the Eighth Avenue Temple, 600 members of Congregation Beth Elo-him, were exhorted by Rabbi Isaac Landman to cling to their Judaism as their salvation.

"It is in Judaism and in Judaism alone that we Jews may find our security in the gloomy present, as our fathers found it in the dark past," he asserted. 'Faith Can Outlive Tyranny' "So long as the Jews of Germany are permitted to pursue their religion unhampered and unmolested, they possess the source of strength and courage which will outlive a hundred generations of Nazi cruelty and paganism. History will repeat itself because the spiritual values of Jewish life and aspirations survived under circumstances not unlike the conditions in the present Reich, and cannot be annihilated in the future." Benzion Kapov-Kagan, internationally known cantor, officiated at the services In the Ocean Parkway Jewish Center, Ocean Parkway and Ditmas Ave. More than 900 participated in the ceremonies. Jacob Bosniak, the center's rabbi, will preach today on "The Thre Gifts." New Year services were also held at Temple Beth Emeth of the Flat-bush Temple, Church Ave.

and Marlborough Road under the guidance of Rabbi Samuel J. Levinson.
