Ouster of Two Left-Wing Groups
Creates Jewish Congress Issue;
Conflict Involves Detroit Chapter
NEW YORK, (JTA) — T h e
American Jewish Labor Council
and the Jewish Peoples Fraternal
Order, two left-wing group s,
were expelled from the Ameri-
can Jewish Congress with which
they had been affiliated; it was
announced following a closed
session of the Congress admin-
istrative committee.
The expulsion was based on
charges by the executive com-
mittee of the Congress declar-
' ing that the two groups had
demonstrated their unwilling-
ness to support the program of
the AJC. The two groups also
were charged with being "in
contempt" of duly arrived-at de-
cisions of the Congress.
Spokesmen for Congress said
that no further appeal could be
made by the expelled groups un-
less the organization's conven-
tion, to be held in the fall, de-
cides to reverse the annual 're-
port of its officers and to initi-
ate action in the case. However,
the two ousted groups cannot
apply for a reversal. Both groups
are named on the subversive
lists made public by Attorney
General Tom Clark.
The administrative commit-
tee also voted that the office of
president of the American Jew-
ish Congress left vacant by the
death of Dr. Stephen S. Wise
would remain vacant until the
next convention.
