Description:
Resolution on President Truman's Executive Order prescribing procedures for administering an employees' loyalty program in regards to individuals who have allegiances to foreign governments. Objects to a lack of due process and safeguards for authorized procedures including permitting the Attorney General to determine which organizations are "totalitarian, Fascist, communist or subversive."
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.
