British Hang Three Jew .
. Terrorists In Defiance
Of Underground Threats
JERUSALEM, July It (JPt The
British hanged three Jews today In
defiance of a Jewish underground
threat to retaliate with the execu
tion of two British hoetaiee and
"bathe the Holy Land with blood."
A BrltUh military announcement
aald Melr Nakar. Vacoub Weiss and
Absalom Ilablb were put to death
between 4 and 5 a. m. in Acre prison
on Palestine's "north coast for thru
part In the May 4 break there. In
which 2ii prisoners were freed and
18 persona were killed.
A Jewish underground source said
last night Uiat Irgun Zval Leumi,
to which the three belonged, had
tried British Sergeants Clifford
Martin and Mcrvln Palce and con
demned them to death for being
members of a force "illegally oc
cupying Palestine" and "conspiring
to oppress the rightful citisens of
Palestine." The sergeants were
kidnapped July 12 at Natanya.
Sentence Held I'p
This source said that, while Irgun
. Commander - In - Chief Manachem
Oeigin had confirmed their sent
ences, It waa unlikely they would be
executed "until the final disposition
of the case or our three soldiers."
The judges, he reported, were one
time Polish lawyers.
Irgun had held Martin and Paice
since their kidnapping and British
soldiers and police searched eight
Jewish vicinities near Tel Aviv last
night in an evirent effort to liberate
them.
The hunt for the hostages con
tinued throughout Palestine today,
bat many government officials ex
pressed fear they would not be
found alive.

Meanwhile, a reliable source said
the Palestine government, widening
its war on violence, planned to enact
a law to permit destruction of houses
connected with suspected under
ground attacks.
In the Arab revolt of 1938-39. the
military and police blasted houses
from which gunfire or other attacks
came.
Last week the military commander
of the Haifa district ordered five
houses, near the scenes of attacked,
forfeited. Thirty-three families put
out of the houses were sheltered
temporarily in schools. They have
asked the Palestine supreme rdurl
to return their home.
Among Palestine executions of re
cent years, today's hanging was ex
ceeded only by that of last April 16.
in which Dov Bela Oruner and
three other Jews were put to death
in the same prison.
Less than three hours before the
executions, an empty pillbox near
the prison was blasted apparently,
officials said, by a mine. No casual
ties were reported.
