today confirmed the fact that the
congregation voted "overwhelm-
ingly, nearly unanimously" to in
clude women a mong the tradi-
tional quorum of ten Jews-the
minimum number needed to con-
duct group religious services.
The congregations action was
taken, he pointed out, in line with
its desire to have Jewish women
play a gre alter role in the adj
vancement Of the Jewish COM
munity and in. Jewish education.
Calling up women to the Torah,
he stated, was seen by members
of the S. A. J. as a token of re-
sponsibility for women for the
continuation of Jewish unity, the
Jewish future and Jewish educa-
ton. He stressed the fact that
Jewish education is symbolized in
the Torah.

Red Cap Fee
| Seen Possible

Eventually, you may have to
pay more to have a red cap tote
your bags at Union Station.
A Washington Terminal Co.
spokesman said today the company
is considering the question of ask
ing the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to authorize a service fee
Of Is cents instead of IS cents a
bag.
The 1CC yesterday authorized
railroad terminals in st. Louis,
Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Co.
lumbus to increase their red cap
service fees to Is cents. These
are the terminals that led the way
in 1947 when red cap fees went
from 10 cents to Is cents in major
cities.
Station porters are paid a salary.
The fixed fee-whether its Is cents
or quarter-goes to the terminal
company. Anything the traveller
pays over the fixed fee goes to the
red cap.
The CIO United Transport
Service Employees, to which red
caps belong, opposed the increase
in luggage charges. The union
contended a 25-cent fee would
discourage the use of porters,
lead to red cap unemployment
and ALLEVIATE" the public from
railroad travel. The terminals
contended the cost of providing
red cap service exceeded the
revenues.
