Holy City Readies For Easter Salute JERUSALEM (AP) Church bells rang joyously over Jerusa lem's walls today as the Holy City prepared to celebrate the Easter resurrection of Christ. The great doors of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre creaked open at dawn for the day-long rites in its hallowed vaults to most Christians the exact place of Christ's crucifixion, burial and resurrection. In the same crumbling church, the pageantry of Good Friday came to a close Friday night. Robed and bearded priests lift ed an effigy of Christ's body from Calvary now a richly ornament ed chapel lit by candles and clus ters of hanging lanterns like warm golden icicles and withdrew the nails from the cross. The procession carried the body, wrapped in a sheet, down the winding stone staircase to the Stone of Unction, where beneath eight glowing lamps it was an nointed and spiced. A column of worshippers fol lowed the body to its burial in the ornate marble tomb that still re veals some bare rock from Christ's original sepulchre. The services were intoned in seven languages. ' Jerusalem is filled with more than 6.000 visitors from all cor ners of the globe. More pilgrims are entering with special permit through the no-man's land that splits Jerusalem between Israeli Jews and Jordanian Arabs. No Jews are allowed to cross the frontier, guarded by watchful troops on both sides. Earlier Friday, hundreds of pil grims retraced Christ's last foot steps from Pilate's court to Cal vary. Bedouin tribesmen, half- veiled women and Moslems watched the Catholic procession respectfully, for Christ is revered by Moslems, as well as Christians. ?9 PICTURED ABOVE is on amsr's sketch of, the new sanctuary for the Church of the Open Bible, for which ground breaking services are scheduled Sunday.

Reed, chairman of the Simpson Timber Co., Seattle, was in recess until later sessions, probably at Port land and Boise, Idaho. 'We don't want to offend our. Canadian friends," Reed testified Friday. ' But we must equip our selves with bargaining power, if we are going to, negotiate with them. Reed proposed an emergency quota on Canadian lumber im ports, limiting them to the 10-year average of Canadian lumber shipped into the U.S. He said it would cut imports to about 25 per cent below the existing level. He said it could be lifted when "gen uine free trade developed be tween the two countries. Reed was among the 30 witness , ranging from mill operators to local union officials, who ap peared from among more than 150 who wanted to testify at the one- day session. Sen. Warren G. Mag- nuson, D-Wash., committee chair man, asked the 150 to consolidate their testimony, but allowed all to submit prepared statements for the record. The witnesses were far from unanimous in their proposals, but all agreed Canadian imports were taking over an increasing share of the American market. Soma testimony blamed Canadian gov ernment policies, i Sen. E. L.

The largest snake was over three feet in length several were near ly as long. The biggest of the rep tiles had a string of 12 rattles, ac cording to Mrs. Fox. Smith, a native of Glendale, re members one occasion many yeara ago when a resident blasted out a single den containing 60 rattlers. Such a large-scale kill, he said, is unlikely later in Uia year, since warmer, dryer weather causes snakes to leave their dens and range over a larger territory. It is then that an occasional snake is seen on the valley floor. Members of the snake-killing party were Smith; his father, Ches ter Smith Sr.; his uncle, George W. Smith of Springfield; and seven high school students, Lee Dixon, Carl Burke, Jimmy Brown, Joe Fisher, Ted Bare, Bob Young and Tom Fachet. The dens blasted were on a ridge between Swamp Creek and Bitnus (Woodford Creek).
