Dispatches from Jerusalem
"Jordan Sector," reported that the
pilgrimi "plodded through rain,
tleet and mow Friday" as they
went in the processional along the
path Jesus trod from. .he place
of his trial to Golgotha, the place
ot his crucifiction. That is not sur
prising, The winter has been long
and severe all over the Northern
hemisphere,. Europe suffered
severely. In North America winter
has overstayed its time by the
calendar.
Butjt is not the severity of the
weather.' that has depressed this
season of the great Christian an
niversaries. It is not the rain and
the sleet "in Jerusalem which is
worrisome. It is the fear and the
hatred that invest the ancient city
and its environs. The city itself
is divided, and the country of the
Israeli carved out of old Palestine
exists behind closely guarded bord
ers. The Arabs and the Jews are
of related racial origin. Their reli
'gions are not sharply . different,
both monotheistic. But the bitter
nesS runs deep and after seven
years mere is no sign ot healing
the wounds of the partition.
This is 'one area where antagon
ism is acute;' but there are other
areas of contention: North Africa,

JERUSALEM I The Easter
pilgrin in Jerusalem can visit a
rock-hewn tomb with- a doorway
blocked by a huge rolling stone.
Me can see the stone rolled away
and look inside the empty tomb.
It is not the tomb in which
Christ was buried, but it helps
restore the - picture of the first
Easter morning when three wo
men walked to the tomb to anoint
the body of Christ. .
The tomb with the rolling stone
lies outside the wall of Jerusalem
on the "Damascus Road". Known
as the "Tomb of the Kings" this
rock-hewn structure . dates, back
to the time of Christ. It was pre
pared .for a wealthy family as a
burial place and the one entrance
opens into enough sepulchral
vaults for several generations.
Explains Mood ' "
'A visit to this site helps explain
the mood of Mary Magdalene and
two other women as they hurried
to the grave of Christ early Eas
t' morning., As they walked to
the tomb, they were disturbed by
the thought of the heavy stone
sealing the door and they asked
each other "Who shall , roll us
away the stone from the door of
the sepulchre?"
The actual stone which covered
the tomb of Christ has been lost
over the centuries-. The traditional
Holy Sepulchre located inside
the church of that name within
the wa"s " c c'ty no
longer bears any resemblance to
a luinu. yji me original acpuicnre,
only 1 small slab of rock re
mains, the so-called "living rock"
which can be seen inside the little
chapel covering the site were tra
dition says Christ was buried.
Hewa Out of Rock . '
But the stone closing the door
of the Tomb' of the Kings gives a
good idea of the problem faced
by the three women.. Around the
entrance of this tomb is an elab
orate courtyard hewn out of solid
rock to a depth ot 25 feet below
the ground and covering an area
84 feet long and -75 feet wide.
From the courtyard a vestibule
once supported by columns leads
to the tomb entrance.
The door to the tomb is less
than three feet high. In front of
the doorL a groove in the roek
holds a sjone nearly two. feet
thick and' three feet in diameter.
The stone rolls, back and forth
In the groove, so that the en
trance still can be "sealed", as
the grave of Christ was sealed
after his death. - -

Above them on the rock ceiling

women expected to perform on the

Smaller, Simpler
Although of the same type, the
tomb of Christ probably was much
smaller- and - simpler than - the
Tomb ot the Kings. The Biblical
account says that the ' Apostles
looked inside and from the door
could see the grave clothes on the
spot where the body had lain. This
indicates the chamber where the
visitors sat opened directly Into

For an ancient tomb resembling
the size of the tomb of Christ, the
visitor may go to the so-called
''Garden Tomb" outside the city
wall. Discovered in 1882, many
believe this may be the tomb
where Christ was buried, although
there is little evidence to support
the claim. This tomb seems to
form part of an ancient Semitic
cemetery extending into the prop
erty of a Dominican order nearby.
Dominicans here still bury dead
members of their order in-these
ancient tombs.

Open Sky Plan
By EDWIN 8IIANKE
LONDON (AP)- Russia un
folded a disarmament plan Sat
urday to freeze arms, reduce
armies, ban atnfnfe tests at
once, and forbid the storing of
atomic weapons in Germany.'
The plan outlned publicly by
Moscow Radio after it was de
livered In secret to the disarma
ment conference here Wednesday
-was greeted with reserve by
U.S. experts in London.
The plan appeared to go a long
way toward President Eisenhow
er 1 "open ky;' inspection 10 pre
vent secret arming and massing of
troops. But V S. officials in Wash
ington said a close study indi
cates the Russians did not em
brace Eisenhower's plan.
The Russians said that aerial
photography could be used as one
meant of Inspection only after
"confidence between the states
has been consolidated."
The Russians proposed that the
United States and the Soviet Un
ion reduce their armed forces to
1 tt million men. U.S. experts hold
it is mora important ro cut the
supply of weapons than reduce
armies.
The Russians offered for the
first time, however, to postpone
for future negotiation a limitation
of atomic and thermonuclear
weapons. , They 'previously have
mad this a first principle of dis
armament. (Add. details, pag t, aee. 1.)
Ike May Call
Conferences
On Race Issue
WASHINGTON UN - President
Eisenhower, calling anew for
'moderate and responsible lead
ership to solve racial problems.
said Saturday he may set up con
ferences on the subject if Con
gress doesn't act.
He said he was still hopeful
Congress will follow his recom
mendation that it set up a bi-par
tisan commission. As outlined in
his State of the Union message
Jan. S this commission would in
vestigate charges that Negroes are
being deprived of the vote in some
localities and are "being 'subject
ed to unwarranted economic pres
sures." Eisenhower made his remarks
Saturday in a letter to Gov. Le
Roy Collins cf Florida, who had
called on the President to
convene a conference of Southern
governors and attorneys general
for a discussion of racial rela
tions. Collins, in a wire on March 22,
had told the President that as a
result of ,the Supreme Court's
school integration 'decision and pf
activities of extremists on both
sides "we are experiencing what
well may be a deterioration of ra
cial relations." .
Eisenhower replied that Collins'
wire "has had my thoughtful at
tention" and added:
"I am deeply cognizant of the
difficult adjustments confronting
some localities in complying with
the school decision of the Supreme
Court. It seems to me, however,,
that the progres. already made
in certain regions of the South
before and since this decision is
a clear indication that .we can
look forward to even greater pro
gress if ' we can look to mod
erate and responsible leadership
supported by a spirit of patience
on the part of all of our people."
The Preidcnt's indication that
he might cor-'der calling such a
conference as Gov. Collins sue-

O'Hara Decides Not
To Seek Re-Election
' ' Alderman David O'Hara, who has aerved Salem's northside ward
fnr rt venn. aaid Saturday he would not be a candidate (or reelection.
If O'Hara sticks by his decision not to run again, the dean of the
Salem City Council credited with leading the fight for many city proj
ects and labeled as watendog over me puouct purse airings, wiu
step down at the end of tha year. For many years ha has headed
the city a budget committee ana
was considered expert on city tax
ation.
O'Hara, whose independence has
placed him at odds with many
Salem mayors and many other of
his fellow councilmen, was first
elected to City Council in 1929 and
has served continuously since.
I nave not filed for any city
office this year, owing to the in
ordinate demands of my bread-and-butter
job with the State, and
other personal affairs, O'Hara
said Saturday. "What the future
holds, we shall see. The people of
Salem are a grand citizenry to
work for, and I have very much
enjoyed by'long tenure on the City
Council. 1 sincerely thank them all
for their understanding, patience,
and when I have been right, for
their loyal support I hope our
association has not terminated,"
O'Hara said.
Three candidates have already
announced they will seek the Ward
5 post. They are Earl Bushnell,
Ken ilutchins and Walter' Heine.
Deadline for filing for city posts
Is Tuesday.

Committee on Taxation unanU

The sales tax vote was 12 but
six members favoring the move
said they would Insist on exemp
tions for groceries. Most of them
alto said soma sales tax revenue
should be used to esse local tax
burdens.
Of 11 taxation plans studied,
til called for a sales tax of three

state would rely on Income, for

Higher Exemptions
Several members indicated
they favored raising Income tax
exemptions. Others, however,
said income tax should be held!

Opposing the sales tax were
the committee's two Democrats,
