The Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith has asked the Secretary of the Navy for information concerning the “security risk” firing of a B’nai B’rith member, Abraham Chasanow, of Greenbelt, Md.
Mr. Chasanow pointed out that he and four Jewish co-workers experienced security difficulties in the same navy office. He raised a question of whether religious prejudice played a role in the anonymous accusations which were made against the Jewish employes by certain of their non-Jewish neighbors.
