TEL AVIV—A total of 90 per-
sons were in Tel Aviv jails Tues-
day under detention pending
further investigation of charges
of - hoarding and black market-
eering placed against them as a
result of the, new nationwide
campaign to wipe out the black
markets.
David Ben-Gurion Given
Extraordinary Powers
JERUSALEM, (JTA)—The na-
tionwide anti - black market
drive is now in full swing with
Premier David Ben Gurion util-
izing new powers conferred on
him by the Cabinet to authorize
police and troops to carry out
large-scale searches for illicit
hoards of consumer goods.
The Cabinet, after receiving
the Premier's report on the
black market, invested in him
for the duration of ''three
months, the powers formerly
held by the British High Com-
missioner of Palestine under the
Defense Regulations. These pow-
ers give him the right to order
arrests and d etention of sus-
pects, search of premises and
confiscation of goods destined
for the black market.
About 40 tribunals have been
set up to deal speedily with
black market cases and profit-
eering as numerous organiza-
tions, unions and societies met
to pledge support to the new
campaign.
Merchants' Association
Backs Government
At Tel Aviv, the Merchants'
Association was on record in
support of the Premier's call to
the country for an all-out fight
against the black market. In a
statement denouncing black
marketing as one of the main
dangers facing the country, the
association called on its mem-
bers to place all their stocks at
the disposal of the public at of-
ficial prices. The statement con-
cluded by expressing hope that
the Premier would give due con-
sideration to the demands made
by the merchants.
The association opened 10 bu-
reaus in Tel Aviv and 20 in sur-
rounding villages to receive and
deal with complaints from the
public on profiteering and with-
holding of commodities.
Davar, the 1%Iapai newspaper,
criticized the Haifa port au-
thorities for confiscating food
parcels of immigrants who ar-
rive at the port of debarka-
tion. The newspaper asserted
that this food is needed in Is-
rael and if news of the confis-
cations reach the embarkation
centers the prospective immi-
Bnai Brith Launches
Membership Drive on
Its 107th Anniversary
With "Every Jew as a Mem-
ber, Too," the Bnai Brith Roll
Call campaign begins today—
on the 107th anniversary of
Bnai Brith.
The drive for members will
continue throughout the land
for 53 days. All Detroit Bnai
Brith chapters are cooperating
in the campaign.
Urging community-wide as-
sistance to Bnai Brith and its
affiliated groups, Jack Zide,
speaking for the Greater De-
troit Bnai Brith Council, said:
"Bnai Brith embraces a huge
network of philanthropic agen-
cies, welfare organizations and
religious, civic and cultural de-
partments. Among these are
Hillel Foundations, Anti-Defa-
mation League, youth organi-
zations, special projects and
special causes. These help to
educate the young; to bring
succor to victims of war and
disaster, regardless of creed; to
support philanthropic institu-
tions; to bring religion and
Jewish culture to the college
campuses; to help integrate all
citizens into the fabric of Amer-
ican society; to fight bigotry
and to further inter-group un-
derstanding. Bnai Brith de-
serves the ftill support of all
Jews and the warm salute and
respect of its Christian broth-
ers."
grants will stop bringing in
extra food.
Prime Minister David Ben-
Gurion went on the air to ex-
plain Israel's fight against the
black market.
"Our needs are greater than
our means; our consumption
exceeds production," he declar-
ed. "The causes of this are the
cost of security and the ingath-
ering of the exiles. In the pres-
ent shortages, we shall continue
to give priority to security needs
and the absorption of immi-
grants. I am certain that this
is the wish of the overwhelming
part of the nation, so everyone
must accept the present short-
ages."
He appealed . to the public,
merchants and shopkeepers to
cooperate in exterminating the
black market.
The Prime Minister asked
school teachers to instruct pupils
on the evils of the black mar-
ket and to mobilize Ismer§
youth in the campaign.
