- 4 pages. The Legislative and Political Action Newsletter for Youth lodges. Headings are 1. O.P.A.; 2. Palestine; and 3. Primaries and Election Policy and Action" to be based on "Big Three Unity." The O.P.A. is the Office of Price Administration and the IWO / JPFO is advocating for the continuation of price controls. For Palestine the call is to support a UN trusteeship. For elections, the call is to support candidates who agree with their political posiitions including the need for tuition-free and quota free universities (the Connolly resolution is cited in regard to Columbia's quota policy) and support veterans' housing. The need for Postwar Reconstruction is also stressed.
- 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.
