...question of judicial reform is a pressing one and corrective measures are long overdue. The President's proposal therefore should be studied with care. A great deal that he desires is justified and much is to be questioned. The creation of the office of proctor, the direct transfer of cases involving constitutional issues from the court of origin to the Supreme Court, the notification of the Attorney General's office before an injunction is issued, each of these measures is worthy of consideration.

Like the Rabbis, the Union seemed no longer sure of the virtues of modernism and Americanism. It was aware that enemies, in and out of Jewry, use the word "assimilation" as an insult, an accusation that Reform seeks to un-Jew the Jew. So the Union in the most notable of the resolutions it passed last week voiced its faith in Jewishness. In an unmistakable trend back toward Orthodoxy, the delegates urged that all Reform synagogs employ cantors and all-Jewish choirs, singing Jewish music only...
