...Zionism and the Army within Jewry. Is TIME so innocent-innocence is hardly its "note"-so simpleheartedly unaware of the quality of men and events as to use the adjectives "potent" and "sturdy" in this connection without its tongue in its cheek? Does TIME really not know that Rabbi Wolsey and his fellows represent a negligible minority within our honorably and stanchly Zionist Reform rabbinate? Is TIME so guileless that it does not recognize the intellectual quality of Rabbi Goldenson's words: "Zionists and the pleaders for a Jewish Army indirectly play into the hands of the anti-Semites...
...fought together, and died together in a crash at San Juan, Puerto Rico. Last week in Santurce they were buried side-by-side in a service that exemplified America: a Protestant chaplain read the service for Lieut.

Son of an impoverished rabbi, he immigrated from Germany with his family when he was 12, worked for Detroit Architect George D. Mason for 14 years, opened his own office when he was 26. He and the automotive industry's mass production grew together and Kahn's factory designs-"all-under-one-roof," later "all-on-one-floor"-became part & parcel of developing U.S. production; industry's demands for his services made Kahn a mass-producer himself.
