Says Returned Chaplains
To Revitalize Religion

Returning chaplains will play

a pi-ominent role in revitalizing

liberal Judaism in the United
States by attracting - large num-
bers of Jewish servicemen who
are not now affiliated with any
religious institutions, Rabbi
Maurice N. Eisendrath, national
director of the Union of Ameri-
can Hebrew Congregations de-
clared today in his address be-
fore the congregational rally of
Temple Emanuel of Davenport,
Ia. He pointed out that 126 of
the 260 Jewish chaplains in the
armed forces were Reform
rabbis.
