ANTI-SEMITISM SEEN HI Washington (JTA) — A n t i Semitism is Increasing in America and is going underground, according to an article in the National Jewish Monthly by L o o n ard V. Finder, eastern d i r e ctor of the B'nal B'rlth Anti-D o f a m a t ion League. Finder declares that F a t h e r Coughlin and Joseph McWilHams, head of the Christian Mobilizers, are continuing their anti-Semitic operations; tbe German-American Bund ''has not abandoned its foul objectives — it has changed only its tactics"; American Nazis, far from having folded up, are going underground; and Nazi propaganda that comes direct from Germany is increasing rather than decreasing. Anti-Semitlc m a t e r 1 a 1, he charges, is now being sent from Germany to the United States, on Italian and Japanese ships, by way of- Siberia,- Italy, Denmark, and Switzerland. "In the final analysis," writes Mr. Finder, "there is still economic' Insecurity for ml 111 o n s of Americans even in addition to those unemployed or on relief, and political perplexity with a bitter election campaign in prospect. The conditions which provide fertile fields for the sowing of antiSemitism remain."

BIRTHDAY NOTE: Way back la 1931, around Purim time, a Jewish woman ordered a set of the Universal Jewish Encyclopedia, which was announced for early publication, to be given as a birthday gift to the Temple Israel library in Minneapolis . . . The gift was to mark her 91st birthday . .-.. The encyclopedia's publication was postponed, for one reason or another, until this year . . . Looking through their files recently, the'editors came across the order and inquired of Rabbi Albert G. Minda whether the lady ' was still alive and whether she was still of a mind to make the gift . . . Rabbi Minda informed them that she was and that she reaffirmed the order . . .So, Mrs. Celfa H.
