Communism - Description:
- 2 pages. Congressman Emmanuel Celler writes for American Red Mogen Dovid for Palestine that medical facilities are on 24 hour alert given impending partition and statehood and the ensuing possibiity of conflict. Urges the JPFO to give $10,000 at this moment of crisis by using language that references the JPFO's politics: "the historic service which you have already rendered to Red Mogen Dovid ... has been recognized with profound appreciation and gratitude by the people of Palestine, who have regarded your action as a splendid demonstration of solidarity between the Jewish workers of America and Eretz Israel."

- 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.
