Five delegates who will seek admission to the forthcoming World Jewish Congress at Geneva were elected today at a conference of 264 representatives of radical groups barred from the national electoral conference for the congress held in Washington last month.
The parley, which was called the National Conference for a United World Jewish Congress, was held at the Hotel Pennsylvania Hotel. It claimed to represent 507 organizations in 16 states and 34 cities with a total membership of 500,000.
The delegates 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.
Speakers stressed the necessity of a united front to fight Fascism, anti-Semitism and for preservation of Jewish rights. The speakers included Dr. Kuntz, Rabbi Greenfield, M. Olgin, editor of the Freiheit, and Mr. Saltzman.
