LONDON, (JTA)—The Anglo-
Jewish Association has protested
to the Press Council and to the
Member of Parliament for Lin-
coln, about the manner of re-
porting in an article which de-
scribed the massacre of Jews in
Lincoln over a "blood accusa-
tion" in the 13th Century. The
article appeared in the weekly
family magazine, "Everybody's."
The Association hopes to have
the matter raised in Parliament,
and the Press Council, a profes-
sional body composed of editors,
newspaper owners and journal-
ists' unions, will probably con-
sider the matter at its next
meeting.
