SATURDAY, Chamber Asks Dimout Curtain Action by City Delay in Screen Erection Held Retarding Opening of Business Along Boardwalk Asserting that the lack of dimout curtains on the boardwalk was retarding beachfront business, the directors of the Asbury Park Chamber of Commerce yesterday directed an appeal to city officials asking that the screens be erected within the next few days. City Manager J.

Oliver Armstrong said today that the task of erecting the curtains would begin next week and would require 10 days. He said that present plans were to have the curtains ready for use by Decoration day. Workmen now, he said, are engaged in repairing some of the curtains that showed signs of wear after their use last summer. Meeting in the new chamber office at 645 Mattison avenue, the directors asked for action on the curtains after Abe Ruben, president of Beachfront Associates, chamber affiliate, said that boardwalk business would remain "dead" until the curtains were erected. Want Business Active The beach organization head expressed the opinion that visitors to the city would not consider the beachfront open until the various concessions are doing business, and pointed out that operators need the curtains to meet army dimout regulations.

Frank S. Savage, chamber executive secretary said his office has received many inquiries from prospective visitors concerning hotel accommodations. Many persons, he said cessions ask too are open whether at night. boardwalk conBasing his opinion on the number of inquiries received, Mr. Savage predicted that the city was on the eve of one of its biggest seasons.

Clifford Bebell On Short Wave Mrs. William F. Bebell, Beechhurst, N. a former resident on Fourth avenue, this whose son Clifford, has been interned since the attack on Pearl Harbor, received a short wave message from him last weekend. This is the first word Mrs.

Bebell has had from her son in year and five months. Clifford, who was graduated from the Asbury Park high school and Princeton university, was sent to China as a teacher shortly after his graduation from the university. He was on his way home and had stopped off at the Philippines just at the time it was attacked by the Japs. The message over the short wave came over station JLG4, Tokyo, Japan, and was as follows: "Dear Mother: "Since the time of our internment I have kept well. I have been teaching high school mathematics and calculus at the college.

I have learned to do my own washing and cooking. Here in the shanty where we eat our two meals a day (morning and evening) we prepare our food. We have plenty to eat. I have never lacked money to buy little necessities right here in our own quarters. We have lots of time to study, read or engage in sports.

We have freedom of religion. I was sick only once, and that was with a slight "flu" attack, but am 0. K. now. Proof is--I still maintain my usual weight.

There is a hospital here with plenty of medical attention; and if necessary, we have access to any outside hospital. "I think of you constantly, and my deepest concern is that you do not worry too much about me. Our quarters are O. K. and I have never been in any danger since internment.

I hope you have been well. I am looking forward to the day when we shall be together again. Now I must say good-bye. Best wishes to all my friends. My best love, CLIFFORD." Police Radio Car Put Into Service One of the Asbury Park police department's two new radio patrol cars was placed in service today, Chief Elwood H.

Patterson said, and the other will probably go into service this afternoon. The cars are Plymouth two-door sedans, painted black with white tops, replacing two of the four red cars in service since 1940.

The Press has exclusive serial publishing rights in this vicinity.

One of the eight who set out with Captain Rickenbacker on a mission for the war department died during the ordeal.
