The new suit asks that a contract which Graham signed transferring aU of his properties to tha James S. Graham-Fisher Corporation be declared void and that Fisher render an accounting of all moneys received in the operation of them. Mr. Graham alleges that Mr. Fisher took advantage of his ill health in 1930 and, through threats of ruining his credit and causing foreclosure proceedings to be instituted nzainst his various properties.

him to sign over the entire control and management or nia affairs. The complaint, which was filed Saturday, cites in detail how Mr. Graham lost ownership of the Hotel Tou'raine, 23-25 Clinton St. into which he had invested over $250,000, and three other downtown Broook-lyn parcels. This alleges that Fisher "conceived the idea of obtaining title to the four properties mentioned" and that through mortgage manipulations the properties eventually cama into the hands of the Newestar Realty Corporation which Fisher controlled.

"The effect of this transfer," the complaint continues, "gave ths Newestar Realty Corporation approximately $15,000 without the investment of a single penny and that, prior to this transaction, the defendant Newestar Realty Corporation had no money or property and no bank account. "This whole transaction was based on false representations and mads for the sole purpose of inducing Graham to transfer the property so that James B.

Kingsland Macy's Indorsement of City Court Judge Aron Steuer for the Supreme Court bench in the Tammany-Koenlg deal did not Involve a Democratic okay for State Senator Samuel H. Hofstadter, the Republican State chaiman Informed The Eagle today.

In his first comment on what happened behind the scenes In the bench dicker now being Investigated by the New York County Lawyers Association, Macy said that he had approved of a Republican Indorsement for the son of Max D. Steuer because he regarded young Steuer ai a sitting judge who should be given a bipartisan nomination. The occasion for Macy's comment today was the publication of the fact that the Judiciary committee of the Lawyers Association will report to the board of directors of the organization this afternoon that no deal was involved in Justice Steuer's Indorsement. The Hofstadter angle of the case has not been Investigated completely as yet. Call Mary Moving Spirit In announcing that the report on Justice Steuer had been completed, Peter Gatens, a member of the subcommittee which questioned witnesses privately, declared that Macy had admitted he was the moving spirit behind Steuer's approval and that he was glad to accomplish It because of his admiration for the Justice's father, Max D.

Steuer, Tammany Hall's fust-string legal adviser. Asked for his version of what happened when Steuer and the chairman of the New York City investigating committee were given bipartisan nominations, Macy said: "Tile underlying reason for my approval of Judge Steuer was that I regarded him as a sitting judge with a good record. I felt that sitting judges, regardless of party, should be indorsed, and I conveyed that thought to Mr. Koenlg. "At no time was Senator Hof-stadter's name mentioned in connection with Judge Steuer's.

Two days before they were nominated I heard a rumor that the Senator was going to. be named by Tammany, out I was unable to verify it. "I couldn't believe it was true and, as I have said before, I was amazed when he was named." Confirms Gatrns' Story The elder Steuer, as a special deputy district tttorney investigating the crash of the Bank of United States, obtained the indictment of Banking Superintendent Joseph A. Broderick, Governor Roosevelt's prize cabinet member. Broderick was subsequently acquitted.

Macy confirmed what Gatens had aid about his, Macy's, admiration of Judge Steuer's father, but insisted that the main reason for his approving an indorsement for his son was a desire to approve sitting Judges Irrespective of party. In discussing Macy's story, Gatens taid: "Mr. Macy explained that after the Bank of United States failure, when the Republican party was considering legislation for banking reform, he consulted many lawyers in search of advice. Of all those he saw, he told us, Mr. Steuer, who was serving as special deputy district attorney, was the best informed and most helpful.

"Mr. Steuer Informed us that he resolved then that if the opportunity ever presented itself to do anything to help Mr. Steuer he wanted to do It. On three different occasions, he said, he spoke to Mr. Koenig about It.

He was deeply aggrieved to think that any one suspected anything sinister about the Republican Indorsement of Justice Steuer. "We called Mr. Koenig before us and he confirmed what Mr. Macy had said about his anxiety to do something for Mr. Steuer." In his report on the qualifications of the bench candidates in the First and Second Judicial Districts, made public today, the Citizens Union indorses Independent candidates in Manhattan and Justice Le-ander B.

Faber and C. Walter Randall, Republicans, in this district. Candidates Indorsed The recommendations as to the Individual candidates follow: FIRST DISTRICT GEOROE w. Al.OER (Independent Judges party) indorsed beciun "not only i lawyer, but In a number of Important activities as a citizen, Alger has displayed rare ability and understanding of pub. lo problems.

Ha la unusually fitted for Judicial office." BERNARD s. DEITSCH (Independent Judges party) Indorsed because "for yearj Deutsch has taken an active Interest in civic affairs and particularly In proposals for the Improvement of court mchinery. He Is entremely able and his election Is highly desirable." RICHARD P. IV0ON Indorsed because "Justice Lvdon has served a full term creditably and merits reelection." I. JOHN BLOCK iSoc I Indorsed because his character and learning are widely recognised and commended.

He has attained a high professional standing and Is well fitted for the bench." ARON STEiert "Justice Steuer's ability Is generally recognised In tho legal profession. His work so far In the Cltv Court has indicated qualifications for judicial duties. The Citizens Union believes the preference accorded him bv the two partv machines over other competent and mora experienced members of the profssmn is not Justifiable In itself and reflects the operation of the selfish motives which g-utderi the nominating conventions." 1 AMI KL H. HOraTADTER "Senator Hofstadter has occupied a position of leadership in the Legislature for several years and in a large part of his work has had the wholehearted support and co-operation of the Citizens Union. The union regarded him as distinctly fitted for the chmr-manshlo of the City Inquiry Committee ana believes that In presiding at the crrnimitteo's sessions ha displayed rare Judicial temperament.

"However, ha has accepted a nomination for office from the very org.mi-tatlon that now stands Indicted before tha committee. He has done so while tha committee still has before It the duty of reaching lLs conclusions and in it, but because she has nothing else." Warns nf Militarization Stating that the Chinese had not yet turnd from their century old idea that only outcasts became soldiers, he issued a solemn warning: "If you let China get militarized, she will be the greatest danger on the face of the earth." The Rev. Mr. Wells told of student and of coolie riots he had watched, riots that "have been sweeping all over Asia in the last few years," and he broadened the race problem to include India and Russia. "The Communist program is so evident in the East that you cannot dodge It," he declared.

"Wars in the past have all been waged by the white man for industrial supremacy. No Longer Alone "Today the white man faces a new world where both China and Japan see in themselves great resources, rich raw materials. No longer will the white man alone fight over industrial supremacy." It was Dr. Judd who pointed out that in industrial competition alone, tariffs could not protect the American workman who gets from $2 to $7 a day from the coolie who suspects he is being overpaid if he gets 30 cents a day. And that the Western standard of living would not stand against a standard of living which cires for a family for from $30 to $50 a year.

Both men urged that a concerted movement for peace and the spread of Christ's teaching in the East were the only ways to stem the tide of yellow and of red. $3,923,000 Fund Drive Opened for Jewish Budget Hoover and Roosevelt Send Telegram Extending Best Wishes for Snceess A campaign to raise $3,923,000 to complete the budget of the Federation for the Support of Jewish Philanthropic Societies was launched with an appeal to 1,100 Jewish leaders of the city at a dinner at the Hotel Commodore last night. It was pointed out that charitable institutions are facing unprecedented demands and must get correspondingly generous response. Telegrams were read from both President Hoover and Governor Roosevelt, extending best wishes for the success of the drive and pointing out its example, if successful, would encourage other, fund-raising efforts. Newton D.

Baker, chairman of the Welfare and Relief Mobilization of 1932, telegraphed: 'Failure Impossible' "As times grow harder the difficulty of the task increases. But failure is impossible. The example now set by the Jewish philanthropies will again help the rest of us in this vital task." Lt. Gov. Herbert H.

Lehman, United StRtes Attorney George Z. Medalie, former Supreme Court Justice Joseph Proskauer, president of the federation, and the Rev. Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick of the Riverside Church were among the speakers. A pageant written by S.

About $18,000 was subscribed toward this building, and when the vestry voted to return this turn to the contribut ors, one of the donors returned her contribution to the rector to be used in obtaining the windows and screen.

lyn churches with the intense seriousness of the young men that they were and with a knowledge of Oriental conditions gained through years of living and working in the East, called upon their audiences to realize that China's fate is theirs. It was "Missionary Sunday" in the churches but the missionaries were talking world problems and backing up their statements with uncompromising facts of the spreading of Commun'sm and unrest in the East. Dr. Walter E. Judd, a medical missionary, who has spent five years in China under the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions and who is now on service at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, spoke at the rally of Congregational Churches at the Tompkins Avenue Congregational Church, Tompkins Ave.

and McDonough St. Specter of War The Rev. Charles A. Wells, who has traveled extensively throughout Europe and Asia under the Board of Missionary Co-operation, was the speaker at the Marcy Avenue Baptist Church, Marcy and Putnam Aves. The story they told was not that of the struggle of China and Japan in Manchuria.

Both dismissed that with a gesture as something that could easily be stopped, while at the same time they both brought up the specter of a great war in which "consciousness of color" would be all powerful and consciousness of the need of industrial supremacy of the world would be the whip to hurl tha world into a war of white against yellow- race. Odds Wilh Yellow Race And both state that the odds for victory are on the yellow race though war is a weapon the white man taught them to use. Dr. Judd pictured China not as a nation but as a people of families whose security in natural boundaries had given them no reason to be welded into a nation. Because they had never felt the need to define them, the Chinese have no word for nation or for freedom in their language, he said.

"The Chinese's responsibility was always to his family," he continued, "and not to his State. With the breakdown of the old civilization under the influx of Western civilization, he is presented with the idea of the Stats as the unit to which he must conform and he does not know hoar to do it.
