Article Text: VICHY— (AP)—The Vichy government published a sweeping decree today taking over the management of all Jewish-controlled property and businesses, leases and rights in French colonies.

The edict came upon the heels of a Gestapo order barring Jews from every public gathering place, indoors or outdoors, in the Nazi-occupied regions.

The German order was signed by the head of the Gestapo and Nazi storm troops in France instead of by the commander of the military occupation forces and contained provisions more severe than the anti-Jewish regulations in effect in Berlin.

The last order before this — providing for the shooting of male relatives of fugitive Frenchmen wanted for anti-German acts — also was signed by the Gestapo chief but all before had been issued by the military commander.
