Whitty as Democratic leader of the 2d A. the Independent Democratic Club of Brighton Beach has decided to launch a membership drive and to establish its own headquarters, Meeting last week in the Young Israel, 191 Neptune the group heard an address by John J. Ott, whom it is supporting for the leadership. Mr. Ott, an active civic worker, is president of the County Consolidated Civic League.

"Mr. Ott is one of Brooklyn's outstanding civic workers." Mrs. Rae Josephs, president of the club, declared. "We are supporting him in an effort to obtain sorely -needed community improvements and are appealing for support of all independent Democrats. "We expect to complete a good deal of welfare and civic work and to become an important tion in the Brighton Beach area." Mrs.

Josephs was formerly for 19 years a member of the Kings Highway Democratic Club, regular Democratic organization of the district. PEOPLE IN POLITICS By CHARLES GRUTZNER JR. Elections Commissioner Jacob A. Livingston, designated last night by the Republican organization for another six -year term, will have to get the Board of Estimate's approval to continue in office after he reaches the 70- year age limit on Dec. 28.

Mayor LaGuardia, whose Commissioner of Investigation, William B. Herlands, has been blasting Commissioners Livingston and William J. Heffernan, Democrat, during the last week as political Paul Windels hacks and inefficient commission.ers, controls a majority in the Board of Estimate. It might be reasonable to expect that Mr. LaGuardia would turn thumbs down on Mr.

Livingston's plea for an extension--but it probably won't work out that way, and for an amusing reason. The fine hand of Fiorello, working through his former Corporation Counsel, Paul Windals, big G. O. P. factor 1 in Brooklyn, was responsible for the formation of a bloc of Republican leaders who insisted on another term for Commissioner Livingston, although County Leader John R.

Crews wanted the $8,000 job for himself. Mr. LaGuardia felt that Mr. Crews was opposed to a renomination for him if he should seek a third term as Mayor, and decided to strengthen the Windels bloc to pave the way for a nomination for himself or his political heir. The Herlands bomb was not timed by as is popularly believed.

It just happened that Commissioner Herlands let go with his dynamite at this time, and the Mayor is somewhat embarrassed as to how to go along on the Livingston extension when it comes up. Commissioner Livingston, by the way, may withhold his retirement until after March 1 just to "prove" that his redesignation was not deal to insure his pension rights. But when he does resign Mr. Crews will get the job. James M.

Power, chief investigator on District Attorney O'Dwyer's staff, is learning the new dance steps to be ready for the annual barn dance of the James M. Power Democratic Club of the 2d A. which will take place at the clubhouse. 46 New Lots on Jan. 7.

When the City Council begins its public hearings on the 1941 capital budget tomorrow afternoon Councilman Edward Vogel, a member of the finance committee. will be poised on the dais ready to swoop down 011 any of the "economy" boys who attempts to cut the $470,800 item for a new out-patient building at Coney Island Hospital. Describing as "heartrending" the lines of ill and weak patients and expectant mothers who wait at the clinics, Mr. Vogel said the present accommodations had outlived their usefulness. The Department of Hospitals had asked for $585,000 for a new building, but this was reduced to $470.800 by the time the CROWN HEIGHTS $8,000 Raised At Annual Bazar Of St.

Gregory's A check for more than $8,000 was presented to Mons. Maurice P. Fitzgerald, pastor of St. Gregory's R. C.

Walsh Amplifies Protestantism Talk To avoid the possibility of "improper interpretation," Secretary of Stave Michael F. Walsh today explained in detail a reference to Protestantism he made Sunday in an address to the Notre Dame Club of New York at a communion breakfast in the Hotel Roosevelt, Manhattan. "My reference to the decline of Protestantism as a Christian force and a Chrisitan influence referred only to the field of education," Mr. Walsh said. "In Colonial times and the early days of the republic practically all education was under Protestant Christian auspices which taught the existence of God, the divinity of Christ and the relationship of God and man which is the source of our inalienable rights.

"The gradual decline of this force and influence in the field of education is not only a regrettable but an almost irreparable loss. Those institutions gave us the men who rote the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. To them I paid tribute Sunday morning."

Behind Slum Clearance Drive "The councilmen of the American Labor Party have at all times been in the forefront of the struggle for slum clearance and housing projects. Recently a bill was introduced in the City Council for a major program of local housing, and representatives of our party sponsored this legislation.

E. Pridday, president of the the store. The work was begun in Fall.
