In a move to prevent repetition of the attacks by British soldiers on Jewish villages, such as occurred Saturday night, military authorities today proclaimed virtually all Jewish settlements out of bounds to British troops.

Meanwhile, an investigation has been launched into the disturbances which took place Saturday at Nathanya, Bear Tuvis and Givat Hayim, where several Jews were injured and considerable damage done.

The Stern group today issued leaflets admitting responsibility for the killing of seven soldiers in Tel Aviv on Thursday, which precipitated the week-end disturbances.
