Simple rites marked the funeral of Adolph S. Ochs, publisher of the New York Times, who was buried Friday at the Temple Israel Cemetery on the Sawmill River parkway at Mount Hope, N. Y., not far from his Summer home at White Plains.
There was no eulogy in the Temple Emanu-El, 1 East Sixty-fifth street, where the final services were held in the presence of 3,000 friends, including distinguished leaders in journalism, politics and industry. Only a program of hymns, psalms and prayer marked the services.
OBSERVE SHORT SILENCE
The offices of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency and the Jewish Daily Bulletin halted their work for two minutes in silent tribute at 10:30 o’clock, the hour when the services began at Temple Emanu-El. Similar tributes were ordered by the Associated Press and a number of newspapers throughout the country.
The services in Temple Emanu-El lasted twenty-three minutes and consisted of reading from the Scriptures in English and from the Torah in Hebrew, by Rabbis S. H. Goldenson and Jonah B. Wise.
Rabbi Goldenson read from the Psalms and from the Book of Job. Rabbi Wise read from the Twenty-third Psalm. Cantor Moshe Rudinov sang “I Set the Lord Always Before Me” to antiphonal responses
