Christians Raise1,
Voices on Easter
In Peace Prayer
' . r :' , By Tlx Associated Press I . .. .
The voice of millions of Christians all over the world rose Sun
day in a fervent Easter prayer for peace. ;
In free countries and in those locked behind a curtain of official
atheism, people thronged to their churches to celebrate the resurrec
tion of Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace. ; i " $
. Th (otous rin trine of bells was carried all across the Judean hDis
from Bethlehem to Jerusalem as
thousands of pilgrims flocked to
the site of the Holy Sepulchre,
and through the winding streets of
the ancient city now held by the
Arab kingdom of Jordan where
Christ made his tortured Journey
to Calvary. . -;.", . . 'J
The pilgrims to the holy land
passed through barbed wire en
tanglements Jerusalem's present
day crown of thorns past the
armed guards of Israel and Jor
dan.' 1
Make Appeal
Pope Pius, standing on the cen
tral loggie of St Peter's basilica
overlooking the huge square in
Rome, made a fervent appeal be
fore a throng of 100,000 for broth
erly accord -to free the world of
lust and violence so people might
live and work in peace. His bless
ings to the world were broadcast
and relayed over the radios of
many lands. r
Amid the roar and stench of
war-torn Korea, soldiers of the
United Nations gathered outside
their muddy foxholes before crude
wooden altars to hear the message
of Easter hope frorA Catholic and
Protestant chaplains.
President and Mrs. Truman and
their daughter Margaret went to
church in Washington, as did the
heads of many governments in
other capitals.
Wish for Peace
The theme of an urgent wish for
peace in the midst of bristling
arms and . threats of war was
everywhere.
But on. the brighter side, chil
dren awoke in breathless antici
pation of the hunt for brilliant
colored Easter . eggs and. presents
from the Easter rabbit. Their eld
ers donned new spring finery to
promenade up and down the av
enues of cities and towns. And to
crowd the churches.
A glittering sun shone over New
York's Fifth avenue, where the
grand-daddy of all Easter parades
was televised across the nation.
The clothes were bright In
Paris, too, but the day was marred
by snow flurries unusual for this
time of year. Parisians and foreign
visitors crowded into ancient
Notre Dame and braved the chill
to stroll along the Champs Elysees.
light Snows Fall
Throughout most of Europe
skies were leaden and light snows
fell and melted.
Sudden showers In Jerusalem
were greeted with joy, for4 they
came in answer to prayers for re
lief from the Holy Land's long
drought, probably the worst in 80
years.
In occupied and divided Ger
many church-: were filled in both
the western zones and the Soviet
controlled eastern zones. Communist-ruled
Prague's churches were
crowded almost to capacity to par
ticipate in services led by Roman
Catholic priests, some of whom
only recently had sworn loyalty to
the red government of Czechoslo
vakia. y-' -
In the Philippines, the faithful
were guarded by soldiers with
fixed bayonets to protect them
from possible raids by warlike and
often red-inspired Hukhalahap
tribesmen.
. The Easter morning calm was
broken by shootings and a kid
napping in Berlin. Soviet zone
peoples' police shot and seriously
wounded a German who had Ig
nored their challenge as he crossed
from the east zone Into western

Oregon Trade,
Service Firms
Gain Employes
Oregon's trade and service in
dustries employed nearly 50,000
more persons last month than In
February, 1950, the state unem
ployment compensation commis
sion reported over the week end.
Weather accounted for much of
the difference, j
Last month' hiring totals were
still 54.000 short of peak employ
ment last August the UCC said.
The report Is based on a survey of
1,250 representative employers.
These figures also reveal, of
ficials said, that manufacturers ot
durable goods, such as lumber,
machinery and ships, were increas
ing the number of lobs much fas
ter; than non4durables, Including
food, textiles and paper.
For the latter group employment
was 10.3 per Icent higher than a
year ago and slightly below recent
months, while in durable goods
24,400 more Jobs,-or 34 per cent
increase, were reported than In
February, 1950.
Lorrinr Increases
Lumber and logging operations.
which showed a slight- upward
trend! since late January, were
responsible for much of the accel
eration with 76,500 jobs, nearly a
third higher than a year ago and
only 1 17,000 jbelow the all-time
peak 'last August. Highest prev
ious February was in 1948 with
73,100. This basic industry bad a
weak relapse early In March when
record snows shut down many op
erations temporarily. a
Machinery j and transportation
equipment (mainly ships) manu
facturing also picked up during
February with the highest totals
reported in more than two years.
Metal shops also made good gains
but were slightly below last fall's
7,800 peak, j '
Ahead of Last Year
Construction, trade and gov
ernment employment fell off
slightly as compared with the pre
vious month! but were still ; well
ahead of last year's figures. In
the non-manufacturing groups;
transportation jumped 700 while
services and finance firms held
about even with recent months. -
Job openings reported this month
by the 29 local employment offices
were nearly double listings at this
period in either of the last two
years. Of the 1,510 unfilled non
agricultural j ' opportunities, 142
were In logging and lumbering
while 502 were in other industries.
Placements also were consider
ably higher than in recent winters.
During February 7,320 persons
were referred to non-farm jobs
and 1 4,038 Were reported as per
manently placed with these firms.
A year ago (only 2,596 placements
were verified. Agricultural work
also picked up with 965 placements
against 530 for the same period in
1950. . . i '
