A memorandum felicitating President Truman on the American support at San Francisco for the establishment of a Commission on Human Rights, and expressing confidence that the American tradition of equal rights for all will be maintained and strengthened, was submitted today to President Truman by a delegation representing the Jewish War Veterans of the United States.

The delegation was headed by National Commander Archie H. Greenborg, and included Charles Schwager, editor of the “Jewish Veteran,” official organ of the JWV, Past National Commander George Fredman and Irwin Gensberg, a member of the organization’s executive committee.

While with the President, the delegation also urged that “authority be given to our National Commander to visit the battlefronts of Europe, to tour the cemeteries of our fallen heroes, to visit our heroic wounded, and to symbolize by his presence the quality of our American unity which has welded together into one people men of diverse faiths and origins.”
