B'nai B'rifh Unit Warns of Increase In Anti-Catholicism NEW YORK. —(NCI—Anti-Catho licism has replaced Jew-baiting among professional hatemongers, the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith reports in its annual study of racial and religious bigotry in the United States. The league, educational arm of the 109-year-old B’nai B’rith Jew ish service organization, recorded the trend as one of the findings taken from the year round investi gation reports of its regional of fices. The bigots who make a profes sion out of intolerance have been crowding each other with their anti-Semitism, the league reported. This explains the switch by some of them to anti-Catholic themes- “a heretofore less competitive area among dollar—seeking hate mer chants.” It reported “an astonishing stream of evidence pointing to the existence of a vast enterprise of prejudice that feeds upon domestic disputes and capitalizes on inter national strife.” In the Catholic area the survey noted that anti- Catholic bigotry still seeks to car ry on its century-old vendetta and that “a number of Pseudo-reli gious publications have been try ing to revive the hysteria of the Know-Nothings.” AN ISRAELI SHIP, the Negba, served as a floating hotel in Barce lona harbor for- several hundred Catholic priests attending the 35th International Eucharistic Congress there. The Negba collected the priests at Marseille and proceeded to Barcelona where it joined ships of other nations also serving as floating hotels.
