A
Press Club Election Close
Helen Essary Wins Presidency,
Defeating Mrs. Tufty by Vote
In the closest election In the his
tory of the Women's National Press
Club, Helen Essary, Times-Herald
columnist, was elected president
yesterday to succeed Ruby Black.
By the margin of a single vote,
Mrs. Essary, who in private life is
Mrs. J. Fred Essary, won over Esther
Van Wagoner Tufty of the Tufty
News Bureau.
Results of the balloting, held dur
ing the day at the Willard Hotel,
were made ‘public at the annual
meeting last night. When the tellers
announced the vote for president
was 50 to 49 and that 100 votes had
been cast, *a recount was requested.
After the original count had been
sustained, it was explained that one
of the voters had not marked the
ballot for the office of president.
Slates Divide Offices.
Closeness of the race was further
indicated by the fact that several
of the candidates who had run on
the ticket headed by Mrs. Tufty
were elected.
Named to serve with Mrs. Essary
were Josephine Hemphill, first vice
i president; Catherine Redmond, sec
ond vice president: Helen Fetter
Cook, recording secretary; Mary Ha
worth. corresponding secretary; Pa
tricia O’Malley, treasurer, and Miss
Black, Valvina Lindsay and Sigrid
Arne, board of governors.
Miss Redmond, Miss. Haworth,
Miss O’Malley, Miss Arne and Miss
Lindsay were on the Tufty ticket,
Miss Lindsay having also been sup
ported by the group headed by Mrs
Essary.
The club voted to make a dona
tion of $100 to the American Red
Cross. The action was the first of
its kind ever taken, the donation
being voted with the understanding
that it was not to be considered as
establishing a precedent.
Intensive Campaigning.
Tlie election of officers had been
preceded by several months of in
tensive campaigning. As a result,
100 of 109 eligible voters turned up
at the polls, one of the voters having
flown from the South to participate.
Watchers from both sides were on
hand to check the balloting, which
continued from 10:30 a m. to 6:30
p.m. yesterday.
Lily Likes Shepard was chairman
of the election.
Representing the two tickets at
the ballot box during the day were
Ned Brunson Harris, supporting the
Tufty slate, and Isabel Kinnear
Griffin, supporting the Essary slate.

Palestine’s
Needs Are
Described
New Refugees Add
To Pressure There,
Hadassah Is Told
Increasing needs in Palestine, in
tensified by refugees from Norway
and Denmark and by a new epi
demic of malaria fever, were de
scribed by Mrs. Samuel W. Halprin
of New York, and Palestine at the
annual spring luncheon of the
Washington Chapter Hadassah yes
terday at the Mayflower Ho'tel. Ap
proximately 1,200 members and
guests were in attendance.
Hadassah, through its Youth
Aliyah project, is now feeding and
caring for 20,000 children, but the
needs are great and additional heln
is required in order to care for all
those who are expected to take
refuge in Palestine, Mrs. Halprin
declared.
Malaria Was Controlled.
Recalling the days when Hadassah
first started its work in Palestine
in 1918, Mrs. Halprin said at that
time one of the first and most
important works was eradication
of malaria, caused by numerous
swamps on which new settlement
were built. Through proper drain
age and efficient medical care ma
laria with time was brought under
control, she continued, but in the
last few months the malady again
has broken out due to new settle
ments, about 60 in number, which
have sprung up rapidly with an
influx of refugees.
"Some of these settlements have
gone up in a day," she explained,
"before it has been possible to drain
the lands properly.” Mrs. Halprin
also said that increased responsibili
ty had been brought to Hadassah
workers through recent refugees ar
riving in Palestine penniless, without
clothing, blankets or other necessi
ties. In 1934, she continued, when
the first refugees arrived from Ger
many, they brought supplies of
clothing, medicine, food and even
furniture, but in recent months those
who arrive in Palestine have nothing
but the clothes they wear.
“The Jewish agency gives them
housing for some weeks,” she said,
“until they are able to learn some
thing about the new land in which
they live and something about agri
culture.”
Shipload of Supplies.
Mrs. Halprin said a shipload of
medical supplies, bandages and dried
milk for babies had been sent from
New York to Palestine just four days
ago in “anticipation of what might
come, although we pray it may not,”
she remarked.
A cable had arrived from Palestine
recently, she added, stating that
many children in Palestine are
starving and, with increased difficult
times in Europe, she said, there
would probably be more children
starving in the future.
Mrs. Moe Offenberg, president,
introduced the speaker. The open
ing prayer was offered by Mrs.
Charles A. Goldsmith.
A musical program was offered by
Cantor Abrasha Robofsky of the
Washington Hebrew Congregation,
who was accompanied by Dr. Hein
rich Simon.
New officers seated at the head
table with Mrs. Offenberg, included
Mrs. Benjamin Francke, first vice
president: Mrs. Louis Janof, second
vice president; Mrs. Isodore Berg
man, third vice president: Mrs. Fred
Gichner, fourth vice president; Mrs.
