Weinbaum and building at 5420 15th Ave. he donated for A I Will Be Operated in Cooperation With Local Hospitals The Harriet Weinbaum Home for Convalescent Girls was formally opened at 5420 15th Monday night. The institution has been established as a memorial to the late Harriet Weinbaum, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Max Weinbaum of 1137 E.

7th St. Rabbi Max J. Mintz gave the address of welcome. Founded in March, 1932, as the Harriet Weinbaum Sunshine League, the organization carried on an extensive welfare program among needy families In the borough. During the Passover and other Jewish holiday seasons, more than 100 families wer provided with matz-ohs and groceries.

The founding of the convalescent home, a more lasting memorial, is now established, and Mr. Weinbaum has provided the fine building which will be operated in co-operation with the social service departments of local hospitals. The three-story brick building will be adapted for use as a comfortable home for young girls of poor families who are recuperating from illness, and who require special care. There are 20 rooms in the building, and present plans will shortly provide adequate furnishings and equipment for operation, as well as a staff of administration. the Bay Ridge Property Owners As sociation, announced today that the members of his organization will go on a strike to show their opposition to the passing of the increase of the water tax yesterday by the Board of Aldermen.

Sugarman stated that the members will not pay any realty taxes as a sign of protest. Sugar-man said that he will try to organize other civic bodies with the same Idea to show that public sentiment is against the measure, regardless of its approval yesterday by the Board of Aldermen. The Bay Ridge Property Owners has shown its disfavor for the tax increase on water by a series of letters and telegrams to various political leaders. Tuesday afternoon, members of that body marched on City Hall, carrying placards asking that the then-proposed act be vetoed. Wednesday night Sugarman, acting for the Bay Ridge Property Owners, dispatched telegrams to Mayor O'Brien, Alderman Richard Tonry, Alderman Molen, John H.

McCooey, John F. Curry and Samuel Untermyer. The Benson Park Civic Association passed a resolution on Wednesday night asking Alderman James F. Kiernan to vote against the Increase in water taxes as approved by the Board of Estimate. Kiernan, however, despite the telegram forwarded him from the organization, voted for the measure.

Speaking for the organization, Abe Bernstein, financial secretary of the Benson Park Civic Association, said last night that undoubtedly his group would take some steps as a method of voicing their indignation at the approval of the measure. "At present," said Bernstein, "we don't know what we will do. We are, however, very much disappointed in Kiernan and the Board of Aldermen. Our area Is comprised mainly of home-owners, and we all feel that the Increase is not hesieIrFsees Borough President Henry Hester-berg has no apologies to make for his vote in favor of the new Untermyer taxes, he declared Wednesday night in an address before a meeting of the Pensacola Democratic Club at that organization's headquarters, 6701 Bay Parkway. "I have no excuse and no apology," the Borough President said.

"I gladly voted for these measures. I am satisfied with them, even if our opponents wish to play politics with them." Threats made that the Stock Exchange might move from New York City as a result of the new city imposts on financial houses were ridiculed by Hesterberg. Hesterberg declared that 85 percent of the business done in Wall St. is gambling. "If the city would give us Kenny Sutherland and me the privilege of opening a couple of Wall Streets in Coney Island, we would give the city half the proceeds, and gladly," Hesterberg said.

The Borough President admitted city officials had been deluged by protests from financial circles, but added that all of the telegrams read alike, though they were signed with different names, so that it seemed that they had been dictated by one person. Other speakers Included Leader Sutherland, Alderman Kernan, Frank J. Quayle Democratic nominee for sheriff; Deputy Attorney General Peter J. Brancato, State Senator Philip M. Klelnfeld, Assemblyman Maurice Z.

Bungard, Francis J. Greco, Julius Hollander. Edward Kole, Sydney G. Hornett and Philip Simon. Nathaniel I.

Helfgott, president of the club, presided. TAX SATISFACTORY the 9th A. D. Regular Repub lican Organization, is seeking the nomination for Alderman, and those working in behalf of Christian Andersen, independent candidate for the post, are still engaged in a bitter fight, each side predicting victory at the polls on Primary Day, next Tuesday. J.

Frank Fanning, leader of the Regular Republican Organization, declared today that the entire Republican organization, both local and county, is whole-heartedly backing Keating. In support of this assertion he made public a letter from Republican County Leader F. J. H. Kracke, indorsing the candidacy of Keating.

On the other hand Andersen the "Insurgent" candidate, who advocates the abolition of the office of Alderman, and who. has pledged himself, if elected, to do what he can to have It outlawed, expressed his satisfaction over the support he Is receiving and declared that he stood likewise for "absolute independence from Tammany Hall." Some Republican leaders, he said, had "flirted most coyly with Tammany Democrats." "The Norse Republican League" which with other organizations is backing his candidacy, was declared again to be the first organization to come out for LaGuardia, and, according to Andersen, looks upon the fusion candidate for Mayor as the outstanding prophet and fighting champion of 'A Republican New "He stands for the cleanest and most progressive kind of city government, he said. Andersen says If it Is found impossible to abolish the Board of Aldermen he will fight for a reduction in the Aldermanic salaries from $5,000 to a maximum of $1,500 "ln the endeavor to save the taxpayers' money ln these hard times which are felt by everybody." "I am ln favor of anything that will benefit Bay Ridge," he said. Fanning, speaking of Keating, states: "Mr. a 1 1 's aggressiveness, both in political and civic matters, Is well known.

He has lived in the Bay Ridge Community for upwards of 20 years, and has always been intensely interested in the welfare of the community."

Frank Squires, 33, of 360 5th decided to turn a new leaf when he landed in Bay Ridge Court Wednesday on a disorderly conduct charge, but it was too late. Alleged to have annoyed passengers on a B. M.

T. subway train by distributing leaflets for which he sought payment, Squires pleaded guilty and was sent to jail for 30 days by Magistrate Jacob Eilperin.

Accounts were squared in Bay Ridge Court yesterday and John Nolan, 33, of 920 72d former policeman, was released after Albert Cochrane, taxicab driver, decided to withdraw the disorderly conduct complaint he made against the I former on Wednesday. According to Cochrane's complaint, Nolan boarded his cab Tuesday night at 10:15 o'clock at 73d St. and 6th Ave. and rode about Bay Ridge until 6 o'clock the following morning.

Magistrate Jacob Eilperin set bail at $1,000 pending trial by the Court of Special Sessions.

A previous bond was continued until today, however, because the accused man, Charles Steiner, 42, of 926 Southern Boulevard, the Bronx, was unaccompanied to court by his bondsman. The charge was made by Mrs. Bertha Greenwald, inspector for the State Department of Education, and alleges medical treatment of two Bay Ridge girls in 1931. Steiner declared he had done good work in the treatment of many local residents and added that his present rrcdirament is a result of a frameup by doctors who are envious of him. tbe magistrate ENLIST1 1 Fifth Ave.

Association Addressed by Meeks and Tonry Steps were taken Wednesday evening at a meeting of the 5th Ave. Merchants Association to unite all the merchants along that business line under the NRA. The meeting was held at the Loew's Alpine Theater Building, with prominent speakers addressing the crowd of more than 1,000 merchants who jammed the auditorium to Its capacity. The meeting was ln charge of Thomas G. Grace, prominent local attorney who acted as temporary chairman.

Grace explained the value of getting together, and then introduced James L. Meeks, president of the Bay Ridge Chamber of Commerce, who is the local NRA chairman. Meeks pointed out tit-invaluable relationship of landlord, tenant ond local advertising mediums, and the benefits to be derived from such a union. He explained that if these three factors get together, success is the ultimate result. Meeks gave specific examples of tenants coming to him and showing actual increases in business.

He also showed the benefits local merchants can derive from the NRA. Richard Tonry, Alderman of the 9th A. also spoke and pledged his loyal support to whatever movements the 5th Ave. merchants would take. Mr.

Rosolsky of the United Merchants Association, outlined a plan of procedure in a brief address. Major Arnesen then proposed that a committee of 11 merchants be selected to formulate plans, and that the committee be comprised solely of local merchants, from 39th St. to 86th St. The committee will be selected by Grace by Monday, It Is expected.

The persecution of Jews by the Hitler regime in Germany has once more shown that Jews can become the symbol of religious hope and the champions of religious Justice, said Register Aaron L. Jacoby in an address before a meeting organized by the membership committee of the Beth Sholom People's Temple, Bay Parkway and Benson Wednesday night.

"The same fate that met other persecutors of the Jews awaits Hitler." the speaker declared. The speaker urged those present to identify themselves with some Jewish organization, preferably the synagogue, which he called a vortex of things Jewish." Referring again to the present German government, Jacoby pointed out that many of the charges its leaders have made against the Jews were not worthy of being dignified by answers. He stated it was ridiculous to attack that race as Communist when ln all Germany thert were only 600,000 Jews, while the Communist vote ln that nation had totaled 5,000,000. Following the address motion pictures of the activities of the Temple's religious school for children were shown. Municipal Court Judge Frank Wasserman, president of the Temple, presided.

The meeting 1 was held under the direction nf Henry Greenfield, chairman of the 1 membership cynmlttes. MERCHANTS HER I leader of the 7th A. broke a long period of silence to defend the record of Alderman Molen and to launch a verbul attack against Downing, whom he characterized as "a political jumping Jack." Downing, according to Heffernan, has not always registered as a Democrat, and did not enroll in 1928, when Alfred E. Smith was running for President He further declared that the records of registration show that he twice enrolled as a Republican. Downing today answered the attack made on him by Commissioner Heffernan.

"It is reported in the press," ha said, Commissioner William J. Heffernan has attempted to defend my opponent. I again ask why my opponent, after 22 years ln office, does not face the voters himself. An Alderman should have a tongue. I do not hide behind a political I am not a 'yes man' and that may irritate Mr.

Heffernan. "Commissioner Heffernan complains that I failed to vote In 19'J8. I am told that Gene Tiinney failed to vote in 1932, although he campaigned for Roosevelt for President. My record proves I did not vote for Hoover, but let the Heffernan machine try to explain why Hoover got at least 5,744 votes in the 7th A. whereas Ogden Mills got only 2,992 votes against Smith ln Smith's last contest for the Governorship.

"My blank enrollments wer to show my contempt for party machines, as my friends well know, and my two protest enrollments I made while I was openly fighting the policies of the Republican party, although I was threatened with Republican vengeance. I want Mr. Heffernan to understand distinctly that I shall always prefer a Republican like Abraham Lincoln to a 'Democrat' like Samuel Hofstadter or John W. Davis. My attitude will appeal to the man who votes according to conscience and not according to dictation." Commissioner Heffernan, who served in the State Senate when Alfred E.

Smith was in the Assembly, said today that he had been a lifelong friend of the "Happy Warrior," adding, "I counted it one of the happiest days of my life when as delegate to the National Convention I helped nominate Alfred E. Smith." Former Alderman Patrick J. Ma-lone also came to the defense of Alderman Molen today. Commenting that Downing seemed to be concentrating his efforts on an attempt to "comer" the Irish vote In Bay Ridce. Mulone said: "So Jim Molen's opponent has set himself up as a candidate or the 'Irish American Independent Political Well.

I've heard of a great many strange things ln politics, but this is the first time I ever, heard that Jimmy Molen, whose parents I knew in Tlpperary and whose christening I attended at St. John's Church on 21st South Brooklyn, didn't have enough Irish blood in him to suit anybody."
