NEW YORK—A "very real"
increase in prejudice, resulting
in unfriendly acts, social restric-
tions and economic and educa-
tional discrimination against
Jews, is disclosed by the Anti-
Defamation League of Bnai
Brith in its annual survey.
The study, covering the 1947
period, analyzes and evaluates
the trend of anti-Semitism in
the United States, coordinating
reports from trained field ob-
servers.
LESS ORGANIZED
While Americans overwhelm-
ingly rejected association with
professional anti-Semites, and
there was less "organized" anti-
Semitic activity than in previous
years, the public nonetheless
"exhibited a disturbing lack of
insight into the activities of
less overt bigots who, under
cloaks of respectability, spread
hatred of Jews," the survey
shows.
It noted that there was "no
wide denunciation" or "expres-
sions of resentment" by the
American community where "ob-
vious acts of an anti-Semitic
nature were prompted by the
'gentleman's agreement' type of
bigotry—an unfortunate trend
on the American scene."
FINDINGS LISTED
Major findings which the
league recognized as "disturb-
ing" were:
1. A tendency among respon-
sible sections of society to ac-
cept public figures previously
considered "unacceptable."
2. An increase in employ-
ment discrimination.
3. Greater discrimination in
housing, with increased use of
racial and religious restrictive
covenants in new home-building
developments.
4. Widespread use of racial
and religious quotas in screen-
ing applicants for admission to
colleges and professional schools.
5. An increase in the prac-
tice of excluding Jews, as a
group, from many hotels and
resort areas.
6. Widespread circulation of
approximately 75 anti-Semitic
or suspect newspapers, in ad-
dition to other types of "hate"
literature.
7. Increased anti-Semitic sen-
timent evident in the foreign-
language groups which was re-
flected in its press.
8.
Anti-Jewish
campaigns
promoted by Arab propagandists
and "their native allies" and
intended to becloud the Pales-
tine issue.
The survey reported several
"favorable" findings. These in-
cluded the diminution of anti-
Jewish hatred in political cam-
paigns and the "noticeable de-
crease" in assaults on Jews, des-
ecration of Synagogues and sim-
ilar acts of vandalism.
