NEW YORK.—Despite the gen-

not been seriously impaired, ac-
cording to Justice Irving Lehman,
associate justice of the Court of
Appeals, who spoke Sunday at the

Board in the Young Men's Hebrew
Association, Lexington avenue and

"Certainly these are trying days
for some men and women who

said, "but the permanent capacity
of the contributing public as a
whole to maintain essential social
welfare agencies has not been
seriously impaired, as has been
demonstrated in the success of
community chest and other cam-
paigns in many American cities.
"Material losses are serious,
but the dulling of social conscious-
ness and sensitiveness to real hu-
man needs might easily become a
graver consequence of present
