British Closing Borders to Fire

London, Mar. l3-INS-The Brit
ish government today invoked a ban
on all travel between the British
Isles and ireland. including both
Fire and Ulster, as e direct answer
to Premier canon de Nalera's re-
fusal to GUST Axis diplomats from
Dublin.
The British sought by the move
to plug leakage of information con-
corning Allied military plans and
the disposition of invasion forces.
Some quarters felt the ban was
only the first step in contemplated
Allied measures to deal with the
Fire problem. II was believed that
economic sanctions and a cut in
shipping to points in Fire from Al
lied ports still are under considera-
ton.
A dispatch from Northern Ire

Great uneasiness was caused,
however, among the relatives OF
