Description:
Executive Secretary Jeannette Schiffer, asking Michael Nisselson, President of the Amalgamated Bank of New York about the JPFOs ostensible planned or promised contribution to the American Fund for Palestinian Institutions. Stamped with the word COPY. This apparently led to Nisselson's query to Peter Shipka and Rubin Saltzman in his letters of March 29 and of April 4.
Notes:
The Jewish People’s Fraternal Order was the largest ‘national’ section of the International Workers Order (IWO) which focused on cultural awareness and celebration, mutual support especially in health insurance coverage, and anti-fascist activities. The IWO also gave particular emphasis to supporting the rights and interests of African Americans.
