high riding economy is headed

Instead of the mild dip which
most Government economists once

CANA, so-called Jewish national de-
fense army and military organiza-
ton of the Jewish Agency, was

coastal plain settlements north Of
all-Jewish Tel Aviv and had thrown
several hundred men into the
search. Natanya itself with a Jew
ish population of 10000, lies 40 miles
north of Tel Aviv.
The informant reported that au-
thorities had informed Hagana that
martial law would be clamped down
throughout the area unless the kid
naped men were returned before a
given deadline. He did not specify
the time set.
Oficials said Jews In a taxicab
