Benson, In a letter of indorsement, declared: "As a citizen of Brooklyn, I do not hesitate to say that we need you in the Council, even though serving there entails some sacrifice on your part. "It was with a great deal of pleasure that I learned of your willingness to be a candidate for 'membership in the City Council. I understand that a demand that you run for the office came from many civic workers in Brooklyn and the Citizens' Nonpartisan Committee. "My personal knowledge of your splendid work in the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, in the Civic Council and other organizations serving Brooklyn convinces me that you are the type of man that is needed for service in this important branch of our citt government." (r smt July 29 and robbing the proprietor! moting un-American ideologies "which have now plunged the continent of Europe into a second great war." He said that the new law represents "an effort to prevent the diversion of assets here located to foreign governments whose conceptions of the properties were totally at variance with those which form the basis of the national existence of this country." In rejecting the power of attorney for the beneficiaries presented by the law firm of Topken Farley on behalf of the German Consul, the court pointed out that the authorization was a printed form "according the donee the broadest con. ceivable authority to deal with the interest of the donor? of the estate." The court also called attention to the fact that the document was undated and that the names of the beneficiaries were typewritten in.

In the case in question Surrogate Wingate decided that a legacy of $6,000 willed by Isaac Weldberg, a reclaimer of burlap bags, to his wife and three children would be safer in the hands of the court than in the hands of the German Government. The widow and an Infant son are now in Palestine and the other two children, Thea and Israel, are in Denmark and Belgium.

Parker. Vice president of the Consolidated Edison Company of New York, said last night at a dinner meeting of business and professional women at the Central Branch Y.

W. C. 80 3d Ave. Other speakers Included Mrs. Ed--in P.

Maynard president; Mrs. Frank L. Babbott, a vice president, and Miss Mildred D. Wilcox, executive secretary of the Y. W.

C. A. of Brooklyn, and Miss Bess Blood-worth, vice president of the Namm Store, who Is chairman of the business and professional women's division of the $75,000 budget difference campaign of the Y. W. C.

A. Mrs. Babbott is general chairman of the campaign. FRE-CAMPAIGN RALLY The meeting served as a prelude to the annual budget difference campaign, which opens Nov. 8 with a dinner of campaign workers In the Central Branch.

"You have an organization run tinder and organized upon democratic principles," Mr. Parker said, "which is emphasizing the integration of life, mind and sprit of the young people of Brooklyn. Such a democratic organization as yours is admired by the businessmen of the community, who have begun to realize how necessary democracy is to Itself. "There has been rather a definite progress In business thought processes and in the inner consciousness of businessmen. Industry, trade and commerce now comprise a profession in every sense of the word.

We are now beginning to realize fully that we have no right to exist except as we contribute to the lives and well-being of the people we serve. That is the truly social view of the character of business. EXPANDS INTERESTS' "Thus it is incumbent upon businessmen to be interested not only In their own activities but in all aspects of the social and spiritual welfare of the community, and particularly In such an organization as the Y. W. C.

A. of Brooklyn. "Such an organization. In which the compatibility between faith and the Joy of living is so evident, teaches us to look at life as a whole, and unafraid, and find it as good as the Creator found it in the beginning." Mrs. Maynard and Miss Wilcox also praised the association for its democratic spirit.

"The world is troubled and the principles of International law upon which civilization rests are severely tried," Mrs. Maynard said. "Here In our vast borough of Brooklyn, which is the home of a great many races and creeds, there Is a possibility of dissension and misunder-atanding. Our organization, with Its tremendous possibilities for understanding and co-operation, makes no distinction between races, creeds and state of financial affairs of girls whom it aids." Miss Wilcox said that health, vocational guidance, education for marriage, interest in public affairs and co-educational activities have been stressed by the association In the past year. TIGHT DISCRIMINATION' "We have one of the finest programs in the country, with a paid ataff for education for marriage activities.

We are also very much Interested in doing away with discrimination between different races. Negro boys and girls find it particularly hard to obtain employment In the business world. "A new trend in the field of Y. W. C.

A. activities for this and other branches is to give various groups in the organization representation on the board of directors." 1 Miss Wilcox said that of late the young businesswoman of Brooklyn Is interested in international affairs. (8Jie said also that single girls oppose the idea of married women working, because In most cases they come from homes where their mothers had to work, resulting in what they believe was a harmful effect upon their home environment. NOURISHES SOCIAL STRUCTURE Mrs. Babbott said the Y.

W. C. A. "nourishes" the social structure and balances, enriches and steadies it. Miss Bloodworth pointed out that the association has an economic, political and social role, In that it "must know the direction in which our social life is flowing, and play Its part in supervising it into proper channels." Miss Helen M.

Currier, new executive secretary of the Brooklyn Council for Social Planning, was introduced. AMONG THOSE PRESENT Among those present were Dr. Adele Blldersee, dean of women at Brooklyn College; Parker, Miss Florence M. Crowell, Mrs. Palmer 1 Jadwin, Miss Ina Clayton Atwood, Miss Mary F.
