Chairman of the 1928 Combined CampGign)
Reform Judaism is the adaptation Of ancient
Hebrew precepts and traditions TO suit the needs
Of modern times. Though allowing changes in
practice. Reform. or Liberal Judaism as it is
sometimes termed. holds fast TO the principles
which have characterized historYs oldest monothe
istic faith.
Reform was born in Germany a century and
half ago. but has reached its greatest popularity
in the United States. Founded as layman.s move
ment, it sought to free Judaism from ancient Gus
toms which were no longer suitable to the era
when Jews mingled freely with their fellow-citi-
zens in free lands. 1t also strove to remove from
the Jewish faith all elements of the superstitious
and those elements of the mystical which might
obscure the ideals which it felt merited priority.
The most illustrious name in American Re
form Judaism is that of Rabbi Isaac Mayer Wise.
known as the master builder Of the movement in
this country. DR.. Wise came to the United States
little over hundred years ago. and in the course
of stormy and highly fruitful career created the
three institutions which still bear the banner OF
Reform Judaism. Those institutions are: the He
brew Union College. of Cincinnati. now merged
with the Jewish Institute of Religion of New York
where Reform rabbis receive their education: the
Union of American Hebrew Congregations. vol
utary federation of liberal congregations: and the
Central Conference Of American Rabbis. nation
wide assembly of Reform religious ministers.
The ideas which animated DR.. Wise were the
belief that Judaism had mission in the modern
world to disseminate the doctrine of Gods unity
and the conviction that the contents of religious
teaching should be Ineligible to its adherents.
To actualize the first idea he preached greater

BY Nathan Ziprin

The late President Weizmann.
like Lincoln. was a great story
teller. He could thrill audiences
and intimate gatherings with
characteristic Jewish humor and
he would often overpower his
opposition with anecdote and
parable where logic and persua-
sion seemed TO fail.
When Weizmann rose into
world prominence, press and peo-
pie naturally began referring to
him as a great diplomat and
statesman, an appellation he alb
horred. AS far back as 1919 he
wrote in the Haaretz of Tel Aviv:
81 am not a diplomat. If I have
achieved anything for Zionism it
was precisely because I was not
diplomat. Lord Balfour in his
days met greater statesmen than
am. ! came to him as simple
Jew. / depicted to him the senti-
ments and wishes of our people
simply and honestly. And it was
because of this that he understood
me-"
Weizmann and Vladimir Jabot-
inskY. revisionist leader. had al
ways been on opposite poles on
almost all issues at World Zionist
Congresses. JabotinskY was a
great admirer of Weizmann
though in later years they were
not on speaking terms. At an init
mate gathering of friends during
one Of the Congresses JabotinskY
once said of Weizmann that he
had such an uncannY way of
proving himself right that there
is no other explanation for il un-
less IL were assumed he had "a
direct telephone line to heaven.
Though raised in a religious
home and in an atmosphere of
Jewish tradition, Weizmann could
not be called an Orthodox Jew,
yet he ideologically' considered
himself such. Some years ago he
attended Rosh Hashonah services
at Rehovoth despite his physi-
clans warning that the strain
might be too much for him since
he would have to be on his feet
during many portions of the serv-
ice. He promised the doctor he
would spend only an hour in the
synagogue. But once he got there
he forgot about his health and
his promise. He remained to the
end, standing on his feet almost
throughout the four hour-long
service.
Weizmann's most beloved book
was the Bible. He counted the
day lost if he did not have the
chance to read at least one chap
ter from the Sacred Book.
Weizmann had no special love
for reformed Judaism, for re-
formed rabbis and the so-called
good will" movement. Discuss
ing one of those rabbis, he re-
marked that he reminded him OF
Disraeli's famous saying about
the "withered leaf between the
Old and New Testament"
One Of his profoundest observa-
lions on Jewish life he made at
Tel Aviv some years back when
he told a laughing audience: I
am not a philosopher. but accord

Soviet Plan
Political Committee
Fovors Admitting II
Members in Package
BY the Assoeio,sd Pres.

PARIS, Jan. 25.-The United
Nations Political Committee, over
strenuous United States objec-
tions, today adopted a Russian
resolution calling on the Security
Council to reconsider membership
applications from IA countries,
including Italy and five Soviet
satellites.
The United States said 1t had
no objection to reconsideration of
the candidates but vigorously op-
posed the resolution, because the
Soviet Union made it clear in
debate that the proposal was de-
signed to have all IA admitted in
one package deal.
It was the first time in U. N.
history that the Political Com
mittee adopted a major Soviet
resolution over American opposi-
ton.
Defeat in Assembly Seen.
The vote was 81 to IL with Is
abstentions. This is less than the
two-thirds majority required for
final passage in a General AS
sembly plenary session which must
confirm the committee action,
United States Delegate Ernest
A. Gross said he did not con-
strue the vote as a defeat for the
United States. He said he was
confident the resolution would
be defeated in the Assembly.
The Russian resolution calls on
the Security Council to reconsider
in one group IL countries who
have applied for U. N. member
ship - Albania, Bulgaria, Hun
gary, Romania, and Outer Mon
golia, all backed by the Soviet
Union, and the Western-spon-
sored countries, Ireland, Italy,

Malik Offers Package"
Soviet Delegate Jacob Malik
told the committee during the
debate that if the Council brought
the applicant countries up in one
package. Russia would refrain
from using the veto which SO
far has blocked the, admission OF
the Western candidates.
The United States, which also
has the veto in the Council, in
sisted that each candidate be
judged on its individual merits.
The United States contends that

Rules Group 0uashed
Further Crime Probe,
Senator Hunt Says
Fund Cut Interpreted
As Mandate to Quit;
Future Action Uncertuin
,By John v. Horner

Growing uncertainty about the
future of the District crime in
vestigation was evident today.
Almost every one concerned
with the far-reaching inquiry by
a Senate committee marked time
while staff experts decided what
more can be done in the time al
lotted them.
In line with a recommendation
of it's Rules Committee, the Senate
yesterday allowed a one-month
extension of the crime investi-
cation to March /. The Sen
ate also limited its additional ap-
preparation to $4,000.
The investigating committee,
headed by Senator Neely, Demo-
crat, of West Virginia, had sought
an extension of four months and
an extra appropriation of about
SOL 900.
Critical of Time Limit.
A majority of the Nicely COM
mittee was viSibly disturbed by
the limit imposed at a time the
Senators felt they were beginning
to hit pay dirt. One member of
the investigating group said the
inquiry had been washed up.
II think it's all washed up"
said Senator Hunt, Democrat, of
Wyoming. We've had the rug
pulled out from under us. The
Rules Committee has made it
clear they don't want to con-
tinue. We have a mandate from
them.
II think it is even silly for us
to spend the $4,000 because the
crime investigation just can't do
in just one month"
A committee colleague still
held out some hope. however.
Senator Pastore, Democrat, of
Rhode Island, said the inquiry
should be continued and broad
ened to a study of dope peddling
in the District. The first phase
of the probe was devoted princi-
pally to organized gambling and
reported police payoffs from
racketeerS.
