As he sees it, his plan would be
an effective means of preserving
the important organizations and
eliminating the duplications, and
would attract the youth. The
youth, he asserted, wants its re-
ligion in action and is not inter-
ested in theology.
The executive committee of the
American Jewish Committee, it is
understood, will review the Stern
plan and will seek some means of
more effectual communal organi-
sation, using the Stern plan as the
first step toward such an end.
Emphasizing that the Stern plan
making the synagogue the unit of
organization is only an initial
step, Mr. Waldman proposed that
by way of experiment the Stern
plan be introduced in three cities
of varying sizes, such as Newark,
New Jersey, Omaha, Nebraska,
and some smaller town with a
population of three to four thqu-
