A bombshell was tossed into the eekly meeting of the Brooklyn Citizens committee to elect a Ne gro County judge on Tuesday night when Wesley MCD. Holder, exec utive secretary, resigned that position as well as his membership on the committee. Holder! employed in the office of Miles McDonald, Kings Coun ty district attorney, stated in his letter of resignation, "for economic reasons, I must compromise a DrinciDle somethine I have not knowingly or consciously done iff' the past." Stating that he is pledged to finance the education of a niece through medical school, Holder continued; "that brings me to the point where' I must do one of two things, resign my position in the district attorney's office and continue my membership and office in the Citizen's committee, or vice versa. NOTES CONFLICT "I have decided to choose the latter course since I was not aware until a few hours' ago that! my 'activities with the committee were incompatible with my em ployment. "I now fear that my activities might be misunderstood and mis interpreted and, as a consequence, prove embarrassing to the district attorney to whom, as my employer, I owe every loyalty." PROPOSE FIGHT A betted discussion followed reading of the resignation with Charles Kellar, attorney, presid in.

Sensing an effort in the district attorney's office to intimidate employees and keep them from engaging in political affairs, committee members suggested that a fight to a finish be made on Hold er's right to participate in com mittee's activities. Holder, however, discouraged the proposed measure stating that he had not been "called into the dis trict attorney on me mai I ter," but he bad discovered his 'activities with the committee, were incompatible with my. em ployment," as stated In. his tetter.V'.
