Sentiment here continued to mount today in favor of the United States withdrawing from participation in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin.

The Daily News, tabloid newspaper with more than 1,500,000 readers, publishes an editorial today strongly urging that America absent itself from the international game.

Yesterday, Commonweal, influential Catholic weekly, called upon members of the Catholic Church to boycott the event.

Last night in White Plains, Jeremiah T. Mahoney, president of the Amateur Athletic Union, addressing a dinner of the Committee of 100 of the Jewish Education Association, renewed previously voiced objection to American participation in the Olympics. He said the A. A. U. at its convention here in the fall will carefully investigate the question of participation.
