Good will among all creeds will serve as the keynote of speeches by United States Attorney Martin Conboy, Cleveland E. Dodge, and Judge Irving Lehman as representatives of the Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish faiths at a banquet at the Hotel Commodore tonight in commemoration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding of the Bronx Young Men’s and Young Women’s Hebrew Association.
Other leading figures are included among the speakers. Some of them are John H. Finley, of the New York Times, and Aldermanic President Bernard S. Deutsch, long a member of the Bronx “Y” board of directors, and a former vice-president of the organization. M. Maldwin Fertig, president of the “Y,” will act as toastmaster after being introduced by Benjamin Sobol, chairman of the dinner committee.
Felix M. Warburg and Mrs. Warburg, and Mrs. Henry Morgenthau, Jr., will be guests of honor. An interim of one minute’s silence will be observed by the 1,000 expected to attend, in respect to the memory of J. Clarence Davies, vice-president of the Bronx “Y” who died late last week.
Members of the “Y” board of directors include Albert Horowitz, Fertig, Commissioner Albert Goldman, Bert Ackman, Abraham Krasne and Jack Selig.
