It was decided at the St. Louis convention to separate the Hebrew Union College from the Union, giving the institution a separate legal entity.

Mr. Nathan J. Miller, of New York, and Mr. Edwin B. Meissner, of St.

Louis, were appointed as temporary heads of this group. It is the purpose of this board to zone the country and place at the head of each zone a chairman who will organize, under him, committees in his locality to secure financial support for the work of the Union and its affiliated organizations. 5 The proposal to invite representatives of the United Synagogue of America, the Central Conference of American Rabbis and the Union of Orthodox Congregations to meet with a committee of the Union to effect a national conference for co-operation among national Jewish congregational organizations was also considered, and a committee appointed to carry this plan out. A committee was also appointed to act on the program of Social Justice presented at the St. Louis convention by the Central Conference of American Rabbis.

A plan was decided upon to organize the presidents of the various congregations affiliated with the Union, and a committee was selected for the purpose of effecting this organization. Committees Appointed Committees were also appointed to look after the budget, to prepare resolutions in memory of the late Dr. David Neumark, and to seek an executive director of the Union, an office created by the St. Louis convention. Mr.

Nathan J. Miller and Mr. Ludwig Vogelstein, both of New York, were appointed on the Governing committee of the Hebrew Union College School for Teachers in New York City, representing the Union. At the St. Louis convention it was decided that two laymen be appointed to this board, residing in the vicinity of the school.
