JERUSALEM. (JTA)—Proclamation by the Palestine gov-
ernment of military control over Nathanya—the colony, 40 miles
of Tel Aviv, named in tribute to the late American-Jewish
north of
philanthropist, Nathan Strauss—and in 20 outlying districts,
resulted in Ha g anah's withdrawal from the search for the two
kidnaped British sergeants.
A house curfew accompanied the proclamation of military
rule. Wire pens were set up for detainees and barricades thrown
up in the streets.
A Jewish Agency spokesman described this British act as
a grave blunder since the entire population was hunting for the
abducted men. He said that control will hamper them and that
declaring Nathanya as controlled area and the disrupting of its
economy means collective punishment upon people not
_
ble for abductions.

Britons. Irgun stated it would not release the soldiers until the
sentences of the three condemned men are commuted. It added
that the soldiers are unharmed in a place where they can be kept
for a month or more.
The British government's proclama tion, which is tantam ount
to martial law, inspired rumors that the three doomed Irgun is it
would hang before the end of the week, but these reports were
authoritatively denied.

of the new settlements in Palestine, while in the background others work
to build new homes. The United Palestine Appeal housing and settlement
program for Jewish veterans is one of the big post-war items for the
upbuilding of the Jewish National Home. UPA funds, provided by the
$170,000,000 national United Jewish Appeal and Detroit's Allied Jewish
Campaign, already have made possible the establishment of 16 colonies
in the Negev, the southern, arid portion of Palestine, during the past year.
Battling against great odds, the pioneers have triumphed over all obstacles
that were placed in their path.
