Palestinian Youths
Ordered Flogged
By Military Court

DP Welfare Worker
Dies In Germany

Women's Grand Lodge
Furnishes 2 Hillel Houses

JERUSALEM, (Palcor)—The
primitive penalty of flogging is
apparently the established prac-
tice of British military courts in
Palestine as evidenced by the
sentencing of two youths here,
within six days, to beating with
birch canes, in addition to pris-
on terms for allegedly posses-
sing firme-arms or explosives.'
The military court sentenced
17 year-old Ahron Cohen to one
month's imprisonment and 12
lashes for allegedly possessiong
a - pamphlet bomb." On Dec. 12
the court sentenced 16 year-old
Abraham Kimkhin to 18 strokes
with a birch rod in addition to
18 years imprisonment for al-
legedly carrying fire arms and
taking part in the attempted rob-
bery of the Ottoman Bank in
Jaffa Sept. 13. -
(The British Information Serv-
ice in N. Y. says the penalty of
flogging is unknown in the
United Kingdom and is only per-
mitted under special circum-
sances in some colonies. Where
military law is in effect, how:
ver, the penality may be awarded
at the discretion of the local mili-
tary commander.)
Refusal by the administration
to commute the sentence of cor-
poral punishment has thrown the
country in another state of vio-
lence resulting from Irgunists
threats.

Two Towns to Be Built
In Nathanya Expansion

TEL AVIV, (JTA)—Two new
towns will shortly be built near
Nathanya, it was announced at
a meeting of Jewish municipality
heads here. The towns, one of
which will be established by
British Zionists, will extend over
thousands of acres of JNF land
and will eventually be joined
with Nathanya to form a vast
Jewish center along the shore of
the Sharon district.
It was also announced that
preparations have been com-
pleted for the erection of a huge
paper factory at Nathanya, which
will be directed by experts from
Italy. A large film induStry which
will employ thousands is also to
be developed there.
According to a report from
Hungary, the property be-
queathed to the city of Tel Aviv
by the late J. J. Elek, a promi-
- vent Budapest Jewish indus-
trialist, will total nearly $4,000,-
000.
