done, he added, there could be
action by elements in Orthodox
Judaism determined to widen dif-
- ferences with non-Orthodox Jews,
such as the possibility that some
Orthodox rabbis would refuse to
recognize any marriages with non-
Orthodox partners.
The CCAR agreed to set up
counseling services in the 675 Re-
form congregations for young men
of , draft age seeking exemption
from military service as con-
scientious objectors. The rabbis
also endorsed the positions taken
by Dr. Benjamin Spock, the Rev.
Wiliam Sloane Coffin Jr., and their
co-defendants in the trial here in
which they were convicted of con-
spiring to abet draft evasion.The
rabbis expressed the hope that
higher courts would reverse the
convictions. •
In another resolution, the rabbis
urged the United States and the
United Nations to act to amelio-
rate the "disabilities and persecu-
tion" being suffered by Jews in
the Arab countries.
The CCAR charged the Johnson
Administration with failing to de-
escalate the Vietnam war and
with pursuing a policy of redis-
tributing bombing targets. The
organization, an outspoken critic
of the government's Vietnam
policy, called for an immediate
halt in bombing of North Vietnam
and especially attacks upon civili-
an populations, saying the Paris
peace talks canot be effective
until the bombing is completely
stopped.
said this is to clarify his own con-
ception of his religious identity in
view of his lack of formal affilia-
tion with Jewish institutions or or-
ganizations.
Although he was not formally
affiliated with any Jewish group,
he was a contributor to the United
Jewish Appeal in Washington. He
has appeared as a speaker several
times before Jewish organizations
since becoming a justice. He has
consistently taken a warm and
friendly attitude toward Israel.
It is expected that there will be
view of the. opposition by some
Republican and Democratic Sena-
tors to what they regard as a'"lame
duck" appointment by.. Johnson.
Fortas was born in Memphis,
Tenn., June 19, 1910, and was sent
by his Jewish parents to study
first at Southwestern University
and later to Yale University. He
came to Washington to work as an
attorney in agencies of President
Roosevelt's New Deal administra-
tion.

The newcomers represent a fair
cross section of immigration
from the United States. Abraham
Chussid, who arrived with his wife
and four children, was a salesman
in the United States but will try
kibutz life here. Prof. Frankin
Vogelson will teach sociology at.
Haifa University. Moshe Sapirstein
will teach English at the American
College, a new institution for for-
eign students that will open in
Jerusalem next fall.
