GOVERNMENT LAWS ON DIVORCE Rabbinical Assembly Reef- firms Its Stand in Desire to Aid "Agunah" CONCLAVE FORMULATES PALESTINE PLATFORM WYTHEVILLE, Va.—(NCJC) —Virginia's highest tribunal up- held the ancient orthodox Hebrew law against the disinterment of human bodies. The 'Opinion was written by Justice Henry W. Holt of the Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals. Two years ago children of the late Benjamin Goldman brought suit in the Chancery Court of Richmond to restrain trustees of Sir Moses Montefiori (Hebrew) Cemetery from interfering with the removal of 'Mr. Goldman's body. The children wished to move the body of their father from the orthodox Jewish cemetery to the reformed Jewish cemetery so that he could be re-buried by the side of their mother. Trustees of the Sir Moses Monteflori Cemetery refused the request to move the body on the grounds that it was in violation of ancient Jewish law. In the civil suit . of Isaac H. Goldman and others vs. Meyer Mellen and others the children sought a court order giving them Permission to disinter the body of their father. When the Chan- cery Court of Richmond rendered • verdict in favor of the Meyer Mellen and others the children appealed to the Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals. The decree of the lower court was affirmed by the highest tribunal in this state and the body of Benjamin Gold- man will remain in the orthodox Jewish cemetery in Richmond. Va., and will not be moved to the reformed Jewish cemetery. Mrs. Goldman; at her own re- quest, was buried in the reform Hebrew cemetery. BY DELEGATION REPRESENTING JEWISH CONGRESS Five Detroiters to Be Included in National Body of Spokesmen; 75 Selected from New York and Balance to Be Chosen by Conferences Throughout the United States Jewish Homeland Called "Inexhaustible Reservoir JEWISH CONGRESS AND COMMUNITY COUNCIL of Inspiration" SPOKESMEN TO SELECT DETROIT DELEGATION NEW YORK. — (NCJC) — After endorsing the liberal re- port of its Social Justice Com- mission at its 37th annual con- vention, the Rabbinical Assembly of America rejected a plan that would liberalize the Jewish di- vorce law, and formulated a plat- form on Palestine that would be acceptable to all factions and in harmony with American ideals. Over 200 rabbis of Jewry's Con- servative wing participated in this conference which was pre- sided over by Rabbi Eugene. Kohn of St. Albans, Long Island, and which elected Dr. Simon ,Green- berg of Philadelphia as his suc- cessor in the presidential chair. The attempt to liberalize the Jewish divorce law by the crea- tion of a Jewish Enoch Arden statute was led by Rabbi Louie M. Epstein of Boston, who first brought his plan to the attention of the ,Conservative rabbinate at its convention two years ago. But when it became apparent that no agreement could be obtained that would be satisfactory to the more orthodox of the Conservative rabbinate as well as to the lib- erals, it was Dr. Epstein himself who led the fight to have the matter referred back to the Corn- mittee on Law rather than to force it through on an unwilling minority. Aid for the "Agunah" The assembly thus reaffirmed its desire to aid the "agunah," the deserted wife who cannot get Jewish divorce because she has not her husband's assent, while tabling the proposition that would provide relief for her in the fu- ture.

The report showed that through- out the world nearly 1,250,000 men and women have purchased Shekolim since the last Zionist Congress. One million of this number were sold in 1937.

The conference also asked the United States to request Its ambassador to Poland "Immediately to initiate his own survey of present condi- tions in Poland, Insofar as they relate to the violation of under- standings and covenants respect- Wig the- treatment of minority groups."
