Drs. Joseph Silverman, Samuel
Schulman, Nathan Krass and D. de
Sola Pool, discussed the question OF
providing free pews in synagogs.

Holmes of the Unitarian denomina-
ton. While all the Jewish minis
ters interviewed favored the
notion in principle, as being
quite in accordance with jewish
tradition, number of them

out the change fully. The idea has
it's advantages and disadvantages,
for, while the synagog stands for
the complete equality of all wor-
shippers, it is necessary to care pro-
perly for the steady attendant as
