mend Utter, to The Reader Write, THE NEWS, 220 E. 42 New York 17. Your name and addret wilt be withheld on requeut VANISHING PLAYERS While catching the Brooklyn-Cincinnati game, on TV the other night I noticed several Redleg players duck quickly down the dugout steps and out of sight just as the announcement was made that our national anthem was to be played and sung. Some Americanism! It should be brought to the attention of the baseball commissioner. There should be a league rule that the players on both teams are to line up in front of their dugouts in respect for our national anthem.

I wonder if these vanishing players would have remained on the field if a rock roll tune was to be played. C. PELLECCHEA. Hospital Seeks Aids Summer volunteers are needed by the Jewish Hospital of Brooklyn, 655 Prospect Place. Vacationing school teachers and college students are appealed to as among those who could devote some spare time to helping in clinics, wards, offices and the hospital's recreation program.

Detectives of the Wilson A'- squad believe they were the same three who held up Bay Kidge ana Flatbush bars last Thursday. Brooklvn.

City officials and most civic leaders in Brooklyn have supported the garage plan as a must for shoppers and others doing business in the borough's hub section. The three-and-a-half-story garage will be run by the Department of Traffic. It will accommodate 675 cars and wilkrise on a site bounded by Flatbush Ave. Extension, Fleet Albee Square "ast, a line 279 feet south of Willoughby Albee Square West and Willoughby St. Estimate Board OK Needed It will be the first garage in the borough to be run by the Traffic Department.

The approval by the city plan- i ners yesterday means that only final approval of funds by the Board of Estimate is needed before Traffic Commissioner T. T. Wiley can start acquiring land. The commission also approved two off-street parking lots, both to be operated by the Traffic Department. One lot will be bounded by Herkimer Van Sinderen Atlantic Ave.

Also aboard were Dr. Arne Nelson and Ake Sundelin, Swedish civil defense authorities, who will witness an H-bomb blast July 25 in Nevada.

The SLRB held a hearing at its offices, 270 Broadway, Manhattan, on a petition by the Local Joint Board of Brooklyn and Queens of the Hotel and Restaurant International Union, AFL-CIO. The trial examiner, Sidney Forscher, reserved decision on the union's bid to hold an election among the Lundy employes. Clam Bar Open Some 75 waiters walked out July 4 in the middle of the holiday rush and were joined two days later by 200 more, forcing the restaurant to close. The clam bar and taproom have remained open. Herman Brickman, attorney and old friend of F.

W. Irving Lundy, the owner, said several would-be buyers of the restaurant hava stepped forward. "But in my judgment," he asserted, "it should be reopened under the direction and management of those who built and developed it through the years." Lundy should relinquish some of the details of management "for his own benefit," Brickman added. He has "intensively devoted himself" to it, neglecting his personal life, he said. The lawyer is advising Lundy to employ someone who would relieve him of the burden.

Stand on Union In addition, he stressed, full control of the restaurant's operation, "in the manner characteristic of it for-almost half a century," must remain in the owner's hands, whether a union enters the picture or not. "This doesn't mean," Brickman said, "that I think you can't have proper control under a union most certainly you can." If The place is sold, the owner will insist on the condition that it retain the old method and policies. Discussions are going on now, Brickman said, with possible buyers who may fill the qualifications. HWe have no quarrel with the workers as to pay or union affiliation," the lawyer asserted. Neither he nor any other representative of Lundy attended the SLRB hearing.

Gut- man, to graduate irom ucxsi, will study at the California Institute of Technology. Berkowitz, a Cooper Union graduate, will attend Columbia University. TELLS OFF THE SD The admonition, "A cleaner New York is up to you," should be observed by everybody.

I reside in Greenpoint and I guess our Sanitation men here never heard of this reminder. Every time they come -to empty the garbage cans I have to clean up after them. They not only don't enrntv about half of the cans but the ones they do empty are dumped more in the street than in the trucks. I'm getting fed up with it and I say to the Sanitation Department, "Practice what you preach." It seems to me a cleaner New York is up to the Sanitation men. DISGUSTED A TOO OLD PLAINT This being over 40 is no laughing matter.

Job hunting for disabled war veterans is often a fruitless search marked by anguish and frustration. I have been brushed off with a dozen reasons which all spell "too old." UNEMPLOYED. NOT EASY TO SPOT How can one spot New York City's unmarked police cars? Several days ago I required assistance for a sick person but I couldn't find a police car or spot one of those unmarked cars.

SEES BOON IN BENCHES The subway system has spent a large sum to improve its rolling stock and brighten up its stations. One thing that is really needed and would not entail much expense is more benches on the platforms. They would be a boon to fatigued workers who are forced to stand on their weary feet for various lengths of time waiting for crowded trains where they have to stand again.

IT DOESN'T FIGURE To the teacher who claimed she worked 23,302 hours last year: I hope for my children's sake she did not spend it teaching mathematics. Since she would have worked only 8,760 hours had she worked every hour of every day for the entire year, I suggest she either brush up on her math or spend the rest of her summer va- cation out of the sun.

JUST ASKING. When I went to school there were only 24 hours in a day and 365 days in a year. That adds up to 8,760 hours a year. Has inflation affected the number of hours in a day? If this kind of figuring is taught in our public school system, thank the Lord my children go to a parochial school where 2 times 2 still equals 4. R.

BACKS INTO TICKET Why it is illegal to back up on Park Place and Franklin Ave. when Classon Ave. is blocked off? I live on Park Place near Franklin Ave. I am nowhere near the hole in the street that is near Classon Ave. The other night I saw a man getting a ticket for doing something all my neighbors are doing backing up from Franklin Ave.
