Two members of the Radical Jewish Union at Columbia University, who were arrested last Friday during a protest demonstration at Temple Emanu-El services, were arraigned today in Criminal Court on charges of disrupting a religious service. Gerald Lefcourt, attorney for Rabbi A. Bruce Goldman, RJU advisor, and for Victor Levin, a Columbia University graduate student, who led the RJU group at the services, asked for a postponement of a pre-trial hearing until September. The attorney for the Reform synagogue, largest in the world, insisted on the earliest possible hearing and the judge set the date at June 5. The minimum penalty for the alleged offense is six months jail and the maximum one year.
