Like Gaul, U. S. Jewry is divided into three parts: Orthodox, Conservative and Reform. Orthodox Jews are the fundamentalists, who observe intact the Mosaic code and dietary regulations. Reform Jews are the modernists, who largely disregard the old traditions, believe in religious evolution. The Conservatives are middle-of-the-roaders. Last week, with the future of Jewry in Europe darker than ever, two of these U. S. branches met in Michigan for rabbinical conferences, voiced clearly what was troubling Zion in the world's No. 1 Jewish country. At-Charlevoix, 130 members of the Central Conference of American Rabbis...
...licensed radio amateurs in the U. S., some 5,000 regularly worked foreign stations. For the most part their conversations with alien hams consisted of trivia about the weather, eclectic gossip of tubes and frequencies. When war came, most amateurs subscribed to a self-imposed neutrality code, foreswore all contacts with hams in Europe. Last week FCC further restricted their activities, forbade them to signal any foreign hams at all. Prohibited also was the use of any portable transmitter capable of sending messages "farther than the line of sight." Violators face immediate loss of license and up to $500 fine...

Such committees and trade associations are far more numerous and better versed in self-regulation than were their prototypes of 1916. But if the Board itself were to take up where it left off, its methods might not be so gentle. To Baruch...
...educated, better-paid. Neither he nor his editor can get away with the cheap sensationalism of yesterday's Yellow Journalism--and neither of them insists on any special license to get drunk. The reporter's passport today is respected everywhere, and he is expected to live up to the code of his profession...
Simple as ABC is the technique of the act: that a soft-coal producer must subscribe to the code and its minimum prices or pay an admittedly ruinous tax of 19½% on the sale price of every ton. Complicated as relativity is its minimum price structure. For each producer ships between five and 20 classes of coal to from one to 100 marketing points. In the Gray-Fortas schedules there is a minimum price for every kind of coal at every shipping point, shaded one way for water transportation, another for rail. In its eight-month survey...
