The cornerstone ceremony will take place at 2:30 p.m., June 26, at the building site, when various congregational and communal leaders will par- ticipate in the rituals.

A sum of nearly $130,000 has already been pledged, but many temple families still have to be contacted by campaign work- ers, Trepeck added. At the meeting that followed, Sol I. Stein was re-elected pres- ident, and the constitution of the temple was unanimously amended so that Dr. Leon Fram, its founding rabbi, could remain as spiritual leader.

The amendment that was adopted exempts Rabbi Fram from this clause, although the clause still remains in effect. Announcement also was made ta the appoint-tient of Frank L. Simons as temple adminis- trator. He assumes a post which has remained vacant since the death, on Feb. 23, of Aaron Kishner, who had served as executive secretary for 18 years. Re-elected to temple office along with Stein were Samuel Burtman and Leslie R. Schmier, vice-presidents; Harold H. Gil- bert, secretary; and Julian S. Tobias, treasurer.

Trepeck. Harry C. LeVine served as chairman of the nominating committee, which also included Mrs. George Victor, Stanley Millman, Nathaniel H. Goldstick and Morris W. Stein.
