Tass, the official Soviet Union news agency, disseminated today charges of anti-Semitism in the United States, in an obvious reaction to world-wide protests against Soviet discriminations against Russian Jewry, especially in the religious and cultural spheres.
According to Tass, which cites as its source another Soviet propaganda organ, Soviet Russia, low quotas for admission of Jewish students are in effect at Harvard University and at other American institutions of higher learning; some restaurants and bars display signs reading “Dogs, Negroes and Jews not allowed;” and there are in the United States 90 anti-Semitic newspapers “with circulation running into millions of copies.”
