JERUSALEM, (JTA)—Follow-
ing the discovery in Tel Aviv of
the body of Israel Levin, 25, the
Stern Group sent a letter to the
Hebrew press explaining he had
been executed after his convic-
tion by an underground court
of being a "provocatair, traitor
and blackmailer." The letter add-
ed Levin had pleaded guilty and
had signed a confession.
The confession allegedly told
of his having met with high rank-
ing British police officers and he
and several other Jews had
agreed to act as spies for the Bri-
tish in the underground move-
ment for wages and bonuses for
information leading to the ar-
rest of underground leaders.
In his confession, the Stern
Group said, Levin is said to have
declared he had been promised
$4,000 for aiding in the capture
of the Sternist commander. Be-
sides obtaining information to
help the British capture Sternist
and Irgun leaders, Levin prom-
ised to furnish police with infor-
mation concerning the arrival of
visaless immigrants, the ports
from which they would sail and
their approximate timetable.
The Sternist statement declared
Levin was due to leave for Italy
shortly to aid British intelligence
in disrupting visaless immigra-
tion activities there. He also told
of having extorted money from
wealthy Jews in the name of the
underground, the statement said.
The letter explaining Levin's
- execution" was motivated by
two factors, the Stern Group
said: Firstly, to prove the under-
ground court had condemned
Levin only after checking the
evidence, including his confes-
sion; and secondly, to warn
"traitors" they will not escape.
