Judge Harry E. Kalodner, chief judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third District, has stepped down from the chief judgeship, having reached the mandatory retirement age of 70. However, he will remain an active member of the Federal appellate court.
Judge Kalodner, who has been active in Jewish affairs for many years, was appointed by the late President Roosevelt to the U. S. District Court, in 1938, and elevated to the Court of Appeals in 1946. Previously he had been a judge of the Court of Common Pleas here. He is a member of the board of trustees of Yeshiva University, and vice-president of Temple Beth Zion here. He has been chief judge of the appellate court since last October.
