Two Palestine Jewish leaders were seriously injured and two others received slight injuries today in a motor accident near Hedera. The wounded were Dr. Moshe Gluekson, editor of Haaretz, Dr. Hayim Bograchev, Zionist leader and educator, both seriously; Meir Grossman, head of the Jewish State Party, and Joseph Gravitski, a journalist, slightly. They were returning to Jerusalem for a meeting of the Palestine subcommittee of the Zionist General Council after a two-day tour of new colonies in the Galilee district.
Meanwhile, tow new colonies were established, one by the Poel Mizrachi on 2,200 dunams (about 500 acres) of land near Tirath Zvi; the second by the Shomer Hatzair, on 6,000 dunams near Ein Hashofet.
