Goldie S. Paregol, a practicing
attorney in the District for 10
years, vigorously opposed Miss
Bentley's nomination on the sole
ground that "She is not qualified
by legal experience or training
to act in a judicial capacity"
Stating that the women members
of the District bar oppose Miss
Bentley because of her alleged in
sufficient training, Miss Paregol
declared:
81 have been in every court
in the District of Columbia, but
in all my years Of practice Of

Bentley prosecute or defend q

Says Others Are Qualified
Mrs. Nita S. Hinman, local at

oppose Miss Bentley on the
ground that there are numerous
women attorneys in the District
who are much better qualified for
the post.
Mrs. Leslie Wright, who ex-
planned that she is not only a
practicing attorney but a mother
of four children, took the stand,
declaring that Miss Bentley has
