STONE Easter Rites In Holy Land Well Attended Same Week-end for Both Eastern, Western Christian Churches Allies Warned McCarthy Hurls Italy Will Not Give Up Trieste Sforza Renews Coun try's Offer to Settle Yugoslav Differences Milan, Italy, April 8 VP) Ital New Attacks On Lallimore An adjudication of alfected property within 300 feet of the proposed apartment house loca tion at Kearney and South High streets today left petitioners of the project a little over 700 square feet short of the required 50 per cent. But it is still subject to argu ment because of a consultation of records by the petitioners which seem to show that some of the property occupied by resi dents is dedicated for street pur poses, and, as far as known, has never been vacated for private use. However, it is probable the city zoning commission will have a special meeting, reconsider its action taken Wednesday night when it recommended the zone change, and pass the issue to the city council without recom mendation. Petition 700 Feet Short In the adjudication today the petitioners, William E. Healy and Paul Murphy, were repre sented by James B. Young and Allan Carson, attorney. The ob jectors were represented by Frank Towle and Homer Smith, " Jr. The city engineer was 'rep resented by Chan Brewer. At the end of the meeting the total agreed area of property affected was 202,10 square feet. Property represented on peti tions for the zone change and the apartment project totals 100, 374 or 49.645 per cent, which is a bit more than 700 feet short.

It was more than an inch deep at dawn and still falling as that city had the unusual reminder of winter in April for the third straight day. It was an unpleasant prelude to Easter and the weather bureau said tomorrow's skies would not be favorable for a parade of fin ery. " Some improvement over to day was seen, however, in grad ual lessening of the strength of a cold low pressure area off the southwest coast A mass of cold air laying at 5,000 to 20,000 feet, which accounted for Klamath Falls' snow, was expected to start dissipating. i But through the state general ly clouds are expected tomor row. Portland will get no rain, the forecaster said, and will get oc casional glimpses of the sun. But the weather will worsen to the south and will worsen somewhat to the east. The picture for tomorrow, the weather bureau said, is cloudy and occasional showers in East ern Oregon; cloudy and more frequent showers in southern Oregon. Clouds and scattered showers were reported over most of Ore gon today, flut there was scat tered sunshine. The weather bureau said today would be much like yesterday at all points except that it would be slightly improved, and the same pattern of slight improvement is expect ed tomorrow. Buzzie Roosevelt.

Alberto Gori, blessed the holy fire, struck from a flint for the lighting of the Paschal candle. Symbolize Resurrection Later Greek Orthodox priests handed their sacred Easter fire into the darkened church, sym bolizing the resurrection when Christ issued from the tomb. Worshippers, most of them in the church continuously since the previous night, quickly set the church ablaze with light, passing the flame rfom candle to candle amid loud and joyous Oriental cries. Catholic and Western Protes tant ceremonies marking the resurrection will start here at dawn tomorrow in all of the 35 separate sanc.'uaries assigned to the various Chiistian sects in side the church. Separate services also will be held in St. George's Cathedral outside the walls of the old city, conducted by Anglican Bishop Weston Henry Stewart; and at the German Lutheran church and the Anglican church within the ancient part of Jerusalem.

OLSON Representatives of almost 100 private agencies, state department and organizations interested in child welfare will attend the gov ernor's conference on children and youth to be held in the state capitol next Thursday and Friday. Miss Martha Branscombe, director of the Elizabeth McCormick Sought in West Frankfurt, Germany, April 8 (P) Western European coun tries want freer trade with Sovi et Russia and her eastern Euro pean satellites. A request for relaxation oi the barriers imposed by the United States under the Marshall plan is expected to come up at the May conference of French, British and American foreign ministers in London. Authoritative sources say sev eral of the more industrialized western European countries are anxious to lift some of the bars on trade with their traditional markets to the cast because they cannot find markets for their manufactures elsewhere. Many American European aid officials are said to back this claim. They believe the state de partment blacklist on potential war materials is doing more eco nomic harm than good to Eu rope's rehabilitation. This view is supported by the argument that American tax payers, through the Marshall plan, have to make up the defi cits created by the ban on this age-old- east-west trade. $10 Million for Guided Missiles Washington, April 8 UP) The air force has received $10,000 000 this year for a huge guid ed missile proving ground in Florida. It plans to ask congress for $6,000,000 more in 1951.

In that bill there is a request for approxi mately $6,000,000 for Banana River."

In a speech reflecting wide spread Italian fears of an allied about-face on the free territory Sforza renewed his country's of fers to settle all differences with Yugoslavia which controls part of the Trieste territory by di rect negotiation. But he emphasized the start ing point for any accord must be the return of Trieste to Italy. Now Free Territory Trieste was established as free territory by the Italian peace treaty. The United States, Britain and France proposed giv ing the territory back to Italy two years ago, on the eve of the communist-menaced Italian gen eral election. Russia turned the proposal down. Since then Yugoslavia has broken from the Soviet orbit and there has been growing concern in Italy lest the western powers back down on their proposal in a gesture toward Premier Mar shal Tito. Speaking here at the institute for studies of international af fairs, Count Sforza declared: "No one either in Europe or in America can reasonably think that Italy, after so many painful sacrifices accepted for the love of peace, can now swallow a re nunciation which would mean abandoning citizens who for years have been invoking reli giously a return to the mother land."

Jcs sup and Diplomat John S. Serv ice. He challenged them to sue him for libel. McCarthy's latest accusations against the trio were consider ably milder than those he ori ginally leveled in the senate, where he has constitutional pro tection from court action. Latti more has called on the Wiscon sin senator to' make the same statements without cloaking himself in senatorial immunity. In a speech prepared for a meeting of the Marine Corps lea gue, McCarthy said, "I invite the individuals whose names I shall name to start their libel suits, if a single word I say is not true." Then he proceeded to charge that: (Concluded on Page 5, Column 6) Kohlberg Gave DatatoMXarthy New York, April 8 (IP) Alfred Kohlberg, New York importer of Chinese textiles, says he has been supplying data to Sen. Jos eph McCarthy (R., Wis.) for use in the current state depart ment probe. Kohlberg told the Associated Press last night that he had fed information to McCarthy about Owen Lattimore, Far East ex pert, and Ambassador at Large Philip Jessup, both of whom have been targets of McCarthy's charges. Lattimore, assailed by McCar thy as a communist spy and a betrayer of nationalist China, told a senate subcommittee Thursday that he believed Kohl berg was a source of McCarthy's charges. Lattimore said the charges were identical with old and thoroughly discredited" charges raised by Kohlberg, and circu lated by William J. Goodwin, described by Lattimore as a $25,000-a-ycar registered lobby ist of nationalist China. Kohlberg, long-time foe of what he considers communist activities, said at his home last night that during the past five years he has made public most of the information that he re cently gave to McCarthy. He said that yesterday he was summoned by two FBI agents and asked to tell all he knew about Jessup. I told them the data I had was largely in the hands of Sen ator McCarthy to whom I turn ed it over last week," he said. Lattimore to Welcome Quiz Washington, April 8 (IP) lawyer for Owen Lattimore said today that the Far Eastern spe cialist will welcome any inves tigation by an "authorized" ag ency which may result from Senator McCarth'ys charges that he is top man among Soviet spies in the state department. He added that an FBI inquiry under the circumstances would be "normal." The attorney, Abe Fortas, made the statement to reporters as senate investigators split over the stormy issue of whether FBI records clear Lattimore. At the same time there were indications the FBI is making some sort of recheck, though officials of the agency would not talk. Senator Tydings (D., Md.) held to his statement that the FBI data put Lattimore "completely in the clear." But Senator Hickenlooper (R., Iowa) said last night that any such conclusion is "unwarrant ed." He said ho is convinced that the justice department is giving the matter "zealous attention. but aides denied today that he had gone further to suggest there is a new major inquiry. Fortas said he had not Infor mation on what the FBI may be doing, then added: "It is quite normal whenever there is a public controversy about a person for the FBI to conduct a new investigation, re gardless of what is in its files at the time."
