Five delegates representing radical Jewish groups in the United States were today denied admission to the World Jewish Congress after they had refused the executive’s demand that they sign a pledge condemning the action of the Palestine Communists in siding with the Arabs in current disorders.
The delegates, who represent groups claiming a total membership of about 500,000, were elected at a conference in New York on July 12. They are William Weiner, chairman of the International Workers’ Order; Dr. Charles Kuntz, chairman of the ICOR; Rabbi Greenfield of Brooklyn, H. Upatschinsky, of the Fur Workers’ Joint Board, and R. Saltzman of the Jewish section of the I.W.O.
