First Jewish Court
In u. ). Sits in New York

2. the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 10.-The first
Jewish court of justice in the
United States, a rabbinical tribunal
known as Beth Din, began func-
tioning yesterday within a few min
utes' walk of Federal Court, the
State Supreme Court and Criminal
Court.
An announcement from the Civic
Center Synagogue said the court
would sit daily, except Saturdays
and holidays, and would hear civil
and religious cases based on Jewish
law. All judgments and decisions
are to be final and without appeal.
Litigants are to agree in advance
that the decisions will have legal
standing.
From religious viewpoint there
are many questions which lay courts
cannot decide. For instance" said
the announcement, where Jewish
couple obtains a civil divorce, they
are not divorced in the Jewish law
unless they obtain a divorce known
as get from competent rab-
binical authority
Others cases involving Jewish
dietary laws and disinterment, for
example, are questions which may
be settled by the court A minimum
of 3 rabbis will preside, or a max
imum of %, and on rare occasions
a special panel of 100 rabbis may be
convened.

resignation was submitted to the

mittee on Officers Reports.

o. into A. F.. L. ranks.
In letter to the committee, Mr..
German said: ut is my desire to
demonstrate to all concerned that
our only purpose and ambition is the
creating of a textile union for textile
workers and not an agency for ex-
plotting by the self-seekers and
political opportuhists."
He pledged himself to continue to
safeguard the constitutional rights
of the U. T. W."
Mr.. German had been president of
the U. T. w. since 1887 He led the
