Mr. Abbott said representations had been made to

It was found possible to meet the requests and he felt there was sufficient protection in the act to prevent any business from operating under the gui-se of a co-operative in or- der to benefit from the tax ex- emption.

He also moved an amendmentto a section of the bill dealing with credit unions. The amendment was designedto make the section loss restrictive. It was porntacl out. said Mr. Abbott. that a number of credit unions lend money to fishing and other co-opcratives and by their charter or ‘oy-lluvs they are prohibited from lending money to other than members.

"We do not wish unduly to prc-'

Nearly 2.000 Jews, obeying an underground command to rlefy a strict curfew, raced down HIIISICQ streets and hurled stones and bottles at troops and police guard- ing the docks area with barbed wire barricades, tanks and trucks.

One c-f those killed was a 19- year-old girl. A moving tank m- jured one person.

The riots broke out after the sailing of two troopships carrying the first group of immigrants diverted to Cyprus in the new British policy of blocking all illeg- ai immigration into the Holy Land. Jewish residents left their homes after the secret radio of the Jew- ish underground I-Iagana called upon them "to storm the streets."

Troops restored order, and the curfew was lifted at 2 p.m.
