REHEARSING FOR EASTER SUNRISE SERVICE . . . Mary Magda-
lene; Mary, Mother of Jesus, and Mary, mother of James, pray at the
foot of the cross in an impressive scene from one of the tableaux to be
presented at the Santa Catalina, Calif., Easter sunrise service. Resi-
dents of Avalon, only municipality in Santa Catalina are in keen compe-
tition for roles in the traditional pageant.
A PIRATE AND INDIAN GET TOGETHER . . . Bing Crosby, part
owner of the Pittsburg Pirates, baseball team, got a pre-season run-
down on the champion Cleveland Indians when Lou Boudreau, playing
manager of the Indians, paid him a visit on the set at Paramount.
Photo shows Bing in pirate costume, while Lou wears the headgear
marking him as an Indian. It is with clever devices such as this that
news photographers manage to give vent to the whimsical.
SKUNK GETS NEW SCENT . . . This pet skunk belonging to Donna
May Gray, 4, and Karen Ann Spoerl, 4, cousins, of Manitowoc, Wis.,
popped out of hibernation right on schedule, only to be treated to an
odorization process by the two little girls. The little white-striped
fellow is friendly enough, but the girls were taking no chances. They
immediately went to work on him with an atomizer.
SAYS REDS MAY HAVE ATOM BOMB . . . Atomic scientist David
Bradley (left) told the U. S. mayors' conference that Russia has the
scientific secret of the atomic bomb and might be making these weapons.
With Dr. Bradley are (left to right) David Lilienthal, chairman, atomic
energy commission; Sen. Brien McMahon of Connecticut, chairman of
joint congressional atomic energy commission, and Ralph J. Watkins,
director of plans and programs for national security resources board.

Hopes & Fears
YOU KNOW WHO . . . Yes, it’s
England’s Winston Churchill and
his ever-present cigar as seen
through-* train window at Pennsyl-
vania station as “Winnie” was en
route to Washington where he and
Mrs. Churchill were dinner guests
of the Trumans.
HAILS PACT . . . Sen. Arthur Van-
denberg, addressing the national
conference of U. S. mayors, hailed
the north Atlantic pact as the
“greatest war deterrent ever de-
vised” and this nation’s most im-
portant foreign policy step.
98 MEN AND MARY . . . Pictured
in her office, Miss Mary Shadow,
22-year-old member of the Tennes-
see house of representatives, is
the only woman on that 99-member
body. She entered politics as a
result of a joke, but the thing snow-
balled and she was elected.
FORMER RED . . . Louis F.
Budenz, former member of the
Communist hierarchy in the U. S.,
takes the oath as witness in the
trial of 11 Communist chiefs in
New York who are accused of
planning to overthrow the govern-
ment. Budenz quit the Red party,
joined the Catholic church.
ROSES MEAN SPRING . . . The
international flower show in New
York city heralded the advent of
spring.* Here, Mrs. Marshall Low-
man, Jr., looks at the display of
350 roses used in the rose bridal
cake.
For better or worse . . . for a
hope of peace or a step toward war
. . . the North Atlantic pact was
now a reality. Whether it would in-
sure peace or aggravate tensions
into war, no one could say with
finality. There could be no doubt
anywhere, however, that its sign-
ing was completed in a world at-
mosphere redolent of both hopes
and fears.
STRIPPED of its mumbo-jumbo
phraseology, the intent of the pact
is simple: It declares that an act
of aggression against any of the
signatory nations shall be construed
as an attack against all. It does
not make mandatory military help
by any signatory to any pact mem-
ber who may be attacked. The de-
gree of assistance is optional.
Therein, as many observers have
pointed out, lies the pact’s strength
and its weakness. The strength in-
herent in the proviso lies in its
leaving to signatory nations exer-
cise of their own judgment regard-
ing the degree of emergency in the
event of attack, and does not pre-
cipitately hurl all pact signatories
into war willy-nilly. Its weakness
stems from the fact that aggressor
nations may be willing to gamble
that great powers will not be will-
ing to wage all-out war to come to
the assistance of a smaller signa-
tory.
THERE WAS STAUNCH denial
that the pact was aimed at any
particular nation, but only a moron
would concede the truth in that.
The pact definitely was aimed at
blocking Russian aggression against
the smaller signatories, and there
was little effort to hide the hope
that the pact would do just that.
On the other hand, there were
those who felt the step was one
which would ultimately lead to war
as Russia would brook no actions
short of war tq. stop the tide of
Soviet imperialism.
Pact signatories were the United
States, Belgium, Canada, Denmark,
France, Iceland, Italy, Luxem-
bourg, Netherlands, Norway, Por-
tugal and the United Kingdom.
DEFENSE: J
Arms for Europe
The United States was urged to
follow up swiftly its peace-insur-
ance action in signing the North
Atlantic pact. General Omar N.
Bradley, U.S. chief of staff, called
for a military aid program which
would strengthen western Europe
as a fortress and stop an aggres-
sor before he could overrun the
continent.
Bradley rejected the idea wide-
ly held among some military men
that it would be impossible to stop
Russia from conquering all Europe
if it chose. The best thing the
.United States could do, according
to that theory, would be to strike
back with air power and lead a
counterattack which would even-
tually liberate the continent.
BRADLEY flatly contended that
such strategy would breed despair
among potential allies in Europe
and render them impotent.
His remarks carried added sig-
nificance because he stated he had
been requested by the state depart-
ment to comment publicly on the
military security significance of
the North Atlantic pact and its im-
plementation.
He took a hefty swing at the
Soviets, although omitting them by
name, when he declared: “If to be
resolute is to be hostile, then we
shall have to endure the slanders
of those who call us hostile. For
their slanders are the expressions
of angry resentment from jackals
denied their plunder."
HE DECLARED the Atlantic pact
had removed the world crisis from
a “cold war” stage, and warned
that America could all “too readily
become the victim of our own
slogans ... if we do not soon re-
nounce our catch-word addiction in
all too many minds that ‘cold war’
is the overture to real war, we may
find ourselves with a mentality
that accepts real war as inevit-
able."
But did his urging to strengthen
the “ramparts" of Europe in favor
of air power and liberation later,
mean strengthen the pact coun-
tries’ defenses with men as well as
guns and munitions.
That was a possibility the peo-
ple of the U.S. would have to con-
sider.

Israeli Miracle

This map compares for the
first time the boundaries of the
U.N. decision with the area ac-
tually won by Israel arms. The
miracle of reclamation is Is-
rael’s present* achievement and
future hope.
ARMISTICE:
Jews in Dissent
Amid verbal strife and dissen-
sion, the government of Israel con-
sumated an armistice with Trans-
Jordan. Despite vociferous opposi-
tion, the government won a test
vote of confidence in parliament.
WHATEVER ELSE the armistice
may have effected, a foreign office
spokesman said it had added 150
square miles to Israel. This area
was to be pared off the northwest-
ern area of the bulge by an Arab
withdrawal from the Hadera-Afula
road and off the western edge by a
withdrawal from the Tel Aviv-Haifa
railroad.
But the armistice was not effected
without bitterness. Prime Minister
David Ben - Gurion’s opponents
charged the armistice was tanta-
mount to recognizing the incorpo-
ration of the Jenin-Tulkarm-Nablue
bulge north of Jerusalem into the
Hashemite Jordan kingdom of
monarch Abdullah.
The vote followed a stormy five-
hour debate. Opponents charged
the armistice opened Israel to
Anglo-American influence. Ben-
Gurion retorted that possibly Trans-
Jordan was a puppet government
(of Britain) but there were also
puppet parties in Israel serving out-
side interests.
CHINA:
More Aid
There would be more aid from
the United States—but, locking the
door too late—there was a condi-
tion. The senate wrote into the aid
bill a ban on shipments to Commu-
nist-controlled areas.
IT LONG HAD BEEN public in-
formation that much of the supplies
and munitions sent by this country
to aid the Chinese Nationalists in
their fight against communism had
fallen into Communist hands. The
procedure was beginning to make
America and its Far East policy
appear a bit silly.
Now, congress had moved to
stop a procedure which must have
afforded no little amusement to
Russia and her Communist hordes
in China.
THE U.S. SENATE accepted an
amendment to the aid measure to
make available 54 million dollars
in “frozen” China aid funds—“pro-
vided it is spent only in areas con-
trolled by the Nationalist govern-
ment.”
LATEST EXAMPLE was the
cruiser Roanoke — “the world’s
most powerful light cruiser”—and
described by enthusiastic builders
as being “practically unsinkable.
The 680-foot Roanoke cost 30 mil-
lion dollars, and was under con-
struction five years. Carrying
crew of 51 officers and 992 men, the
cruiser displaces 17,000 tons and
has a designed speed of 33 knots,
which is approximately 37 miles
per hour.
i The hull, it was said, renders the
ship practically unsinkable. She
has a main battery of 12 semi-
automatic six-inch guns, a second-
ary battery of 20 rapid-fire three-
inch guns, and six twin 20-mm.
mounts.
! Speaking at the commissioning of
/the Roanoke, Louis Johnson, U. S.
defense secretary, said the vessel
was joining the “greatest fleet we
ever maintained in time of
supposed peace.”
HE DECLARED the ship would
be “kept in training for its primary
mission,” and carefully omitting
the word “war,” Johnson described
the mission as “one we all hope
and believe it will not have to dis-
charge.”
Referring to armed service unity,
the defense secretary said: “Our
safety lies in the combined con-
tribution of them all, each service
the sphere it is best equipped to
control. This relationship has been
carefully worked out and it will be
closely adjusted to combat trim in
the very near future.”
With that aim, the people of the
United States would be found in
full accord.
NEW FEEDS:
Mighty Potent
Could an animal burst its seams
by eating?
That is an academic question, of
course; but some of the new live-
stock feeds are reported to be so
powerful that animals literally
“burst their seams” if fed too
much.
DR. H. J. PREBLUDA, nutrition-
ist, stated that scientists simply
would have to breed new animals
with greater capacities.
The new high-energy feeds are
rich in vitamins, especially a new
vitamin B-12, found in what is
called the animal “protein factor.
Such feeds are low in materials
like fiber that do not generate
energy.
Dr. Prebluda said that when these
feeds are given to poultry it is like
pouring rich coal into a furnace.
Rich coal needs a draft, but the
birds are not capable of burning
rich feeds under draft. They burst
'their limits of capacity to handle
food—they have a physical break-
down.
HE ADDED that only a short
time ago it took three and one-
half pounds of feed to produce one
pound of broiler meat. Now this
same meat can be produced from
two and one-half pounds of feed.
Birds that reach top weight in 14
weeks on old type feeds reach top
weight in only nine weeks on the
new super-feed.
However, Dr. Prebluda concludes,
they could grow even faster if they
could handle the rich foods faster.

Soviet Troops Attack Army Post in Iran
Even as the North Atlantic pact
was being signed in an actual,
though disavowed, effort to stem
the spread of Russian imperialism,
a military informant in Tehran re-
ported Russian forces had attacked
an Iranian army post. The report
stated a Russian regiment, sup-
ported by tanks and armored cars
had made a new foray into Azer-
baijan province.
Iranian troops replied to the fire
and an “important battle” ensued,
the source said.
The reported clash occurred dur-
ing a time of reported strained re-
lations between the countries. Rus-
sian pressure on Iran had beer,
mounting, causing speculation that
the oil-rich Middle East country
would become the next focal point
in the “cold war.”
