Full support for the enactment of legislation on civil rights as recommended yesterday by President Truman in a message to Congress was pledged today by the B’nai B’rith national executive, now in session here.
The executive adopted a resolution endorsing the President’s recommendations and promising to support their implementation “through the promotion by voluntary organizations of arrangements in every community in the country to secure greater inter-group understanding and brotherhood.”
Secretary of the Army Kenneth C. Royall today attended a luncheon of the B’nai B’rith National Committee on Veterans Affairs at which a portrait of Maj. Gen. Parry E. Vaughan, military aids to President Truman, was presented to the General. Dr. John Steelman, special assistant to the President, and Capt. Robert Dennison, Mr. Truman’s naval aide, were also present.
