The provision of deceased’s will limiting the trustee to a particular type of investment is held to be inapplicable under current economic conditions (Matter of Wallach, N. Y. L. J., Dec. 8, 1933, p. 2155, col. 4; Matter of Rheinhold, N. Y. L. J., Dec. 14, 1933, p. 2256, col. 2; Matter of Garretson, N. Y. L. J., Jan. 6, 1937, p. 70, col. 4; Matter of Aaron, N. Y. L.
