A special radio program to combat anti-Semitism was broadcast this morning over all Soviet stations, in connection with the growing anti-Jewish movement throughout Europe.

The speakers cited the pogroms which took place in Russia under the Czarist regime and denounced anti-Semitism as a “counter-revolutionary tool” and as a means to “incite workers against workers.”

Gifts valued at 100,000 roubles (approximately $60,000) were sent today by the city of Kharkov to Biro-Bidjan, the autonomous Jewish region in the Far East, on the occasion of the first anniversary of the proclamation of the region as an autonomous part of Soviet Russia.

A new Jewish daily newspaper, the fifth in the Soviet Union, started publication in the city of Vinice, Ukraine.
