Walkout Possible
WASHINGTON, April 12—
(AP)—The threat of an immediate”
{mtxon-wide telephone strike van
ished late today, but union of
ficials indicated they were ready
to “declare the Bell system strike
bound” if labor settlements aren’t
reached soon in tHree states.
Joseph A. Beirne, president of
the CIO Communication Workers
Union, met all day with top union
officials, then emerged with the
statment:
“Some movement by'the com=-
pany in negotiations since the
Michigan settlement has caused
the CWA to defer action” on a
nation-wide strike call.
The Michigan settlement this
week brought an average 12.7
cent wage boost for an estimated
18,000 Bell system workers. But
33,000 Bell workers are still out
in New Jersey, Ohio and northern
california,
And 16,000 production and
maintenance workers in plants of
the Western Electric Co—a Bell
system subsidiary—are still on
strike in 43 states and the Dis
trict of Columbia.
Settlement Basis
The union is insisting that terms
of the Michigan settlement be the
basis of new contracts in the oth
er three states where workers are
on strike. It was willing to con
sider a nation-wide strike of all
its members, even those still by
unexpired contracts, to force the
issue,
Progress reported in the Ohio
negotiations was apparently the
basis for Beirne’s ‘‘some move
ment” remark.
Federal mediation cfficials were
hopeful that settlement was not
far off.
Beirne said strikers would con
tinue to picket “at all locations‘
where striking . employes work”
and that non-striking workers
would “continue to respect those
picket lines.”
Meanwhile, Western Union said
it had managed to restore tele=-
graph service to 550 cities despite
the continuing strike of an esti
mated 30,000 telegraph workers.

Last Ditch Stand ‘
OMAHA, Nebr., April 12.—(AP)
—Army Engineers, not yet ready
to surrender to the record-shat
tering Missouri River flood crest
headed this way, today launched
a mighty effort to add two feet of
height to levees protécting the
heavily-populated Omaha-Council
Bluffs, lowa, river area.
Nearly 4,000 Ariny troops were
ordered in to join the last-ditch
stand against a river drunk with
the power of an unprecedented
load of spring runoff water from
the Dakotas,
_About 100 miles upstream, Sioux
City, lawa, all but capitulated.
The last discouraging blow was
a new estimate that the flood crest
due at Jowa’s second largest me
tropolis Monday evening will be a
half foot higher than previously
predicted,
Disaster already was upon Sioux
City with its 83,991 population. A
feeling of helpless surrender to the
inevitable gripped the area as the
bubbling, boiling Missouri pushed
its ravaging crest closer and
closer.
Across the river at Sioux City,
Neb., the story was the same.
Mayor Wilbur Allen urged com
plete evacuation of the city of
5,557,
Fully one-third of Sioux City
‘was covered with silt-laden water
averaging eight feet deep. The
mayor said no part of the city will
be less than one foot under water
when the crest arrives.

| Worse By Hour
‘ Worse by the hour — that was
. the picture throughout the down
. stream Jowa-Nebraska area where
| the Missouri’s level already was
flirting with all-time record high
marks.
lowa's Governor William 8.
Beardsley ordered six more lowa
National Gudrd units into action,
bring.ng to 13 companies and one
platoon the number on flood
duty.
Nebraska’s Governor Val Peter
son proclaimed a state of emer
gency in the affected Nebraska
area. States of emergency had
been declared for cities as far

Easter Servi
Through Nafion
By GEORGE CORNELL
Associated Press Staff Writer
Many people rise very early to
day, and some go to the moun
tains and the parks, and some
to the churches, and women will
wear their finery up and down the
avenues. ‘
In this way, they celebrate an
other very early morning long ago
when the two Marys “came unto
the sepulchre at the rising of the
sun.”
So thousands assemble today on
Placid Lakesides, and beneath
hilltop amphitheaters, and in
great auditoriums, and little In
dian villages, and hosannas ring
from the choirs and the organs
and tom-toms.
St. Patrick Rites
At Manhattan’s towering St.
Patrick’s Cathedral, masses were
to be celebrated each hour, from
6 a. m. until after noon. Protestant
churches scheduled services thro
~ughout the morning. Outside on
rich Fifth Avenue, the women will'
parade in their gay frocks and
startling hats.
(And long ago, the two Marys
whispered together: “who shall
roll away the stone from the door
of the sepulchre? And when they
looked, they saw that the stone
was rolled away, for it was very
great.”)
In Los Angeles’ Hollywood Bowl,
250 white-robed children, -ranked
in the form of a living cross, and
two choruses of 550 singers, amid
high banks of lillies, join in ser
vices before an expected 20,000,
. Before an expected 75,000, a
giant cast of 2,000 re-enact 50
Bible scenes on a stage a quarter
mile long.
(And one scene tells of the sepul
chre, where the two Marys found
an angel in shining garments who
told them: “Why seek ye the living
among the dead? He is not here,
but is risen.”)
This is the thing they celebrate,
on the mall at Central Park, on a
hilltop near Adlington, Mass., at
New York’s biggest theater, Radio
City Music Hall, at the garden of
the Gods near Colorado Springs,
and at Indianapolis’ Monumg\nt
Circle before sunrise. -
Indian Rituals
. Chants of the parade will almost
blend with the throb of tom-toms
at Little Pueblo Villages in New
Mexico. After masses at Catholic
Missions, there’ll be Indian rituals
of spring in the ehurchyard.
In Washington, D. C., the huge
amphitheater adjoining the tomb
of the Unknown Soldier is the
setting for the big sunrise service
there. Fashionable Connecticut
Avenue will be closed to traffic
for the Easter parade.
(And long ago, when the two
Marys “went to tell his disciplines,
hehold, Jesus met them, saying,
All Hail! and they came and held
him by the feet and worshipped
him.”) |
Legion Carnival
The blair of exciting music from
the American Legion Grounds
Monday, April 14, will herald the
arrival of the Midway Joy, Zone
to the Classic City.
For their spring festival this
year, the Legion is bringing to
Athens one of America’'s newest
and largest carnivals, Royal Crown
Shows. . The owner and general
manager has spared no expense in
assembling an organization of
t“High-class, entertaining shows
and an array of modern thrilling
riding devices. “The show will run
six full days, Monday, April 14,
through Saturday, April 19,
Show Features
Among the many outstanding
features to be seen on the Midway

Announcement Is Based On Hopes
Of Settling Prisoner Swap Issue
BY JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
WASHINGTON, April 12.— (AP) —Officials gulding
truce negotiations in Korea said today that an armistice
probably will be agreed on fairly soon, possibly by May 1.
The chief reason for this new optimism in Washin{]&l is
the belief that a solution will be found for the United
Nations- Communist deadlock over release of prisom{ofi
war. b /
The issue has been under active
study in both Allied and Com
munist capitals, as well as in
closed sessions of truce negotia
tions at Panmunjom, it was re
ported.
It is understood that a formula
has been evolved, but not yet
fully agreed to, which would:
(1) Avoid forcible return to
North Korea and China of prison
ers held by U. N. forces.
(2) Assure release of American
and Allied prisoners by the Reds
and
(3) Save face all around.
Diplomats here said the U. N.
would never compromise the right
of prisoners of war who turned
against Communism to choose not
to go home again, The problem
has been how to secure this right
in a formula acceptable to the
Reds,
Brief Sessions
The brevity of recent megotiat
ing sessions in Korea, though giv=
ing rise to some concern there,
wag described here as of no great
significance. Ultimate decisions on
‘basic issues have to be made in
Washington and Peiping (or Mos
cow) and the lull in diplomatic ac
tivity in Korea was attributed to
this fact.
‘Aside from the prisoner of war
question there are two other is
sues, These are the Red proposal
that Russia be accepted as a “neu
tral” nation to help police a truce,
and a U. N. demand that airfield
construction in Communist North
Korea be banned during a truce.
These have been insoluble prob
lems up to the present, but the
Washington view is that if the
prisoner issue can be settled the
other two major -difficulties will
i quickly disappear.
‘ The new optimism is based in
part on the somewhat more agree
“able conduct of Red negotiators at
Panmunjom, and in part on Rus=
sia’s “peace” drive.
The main purpose of this drive
is believed to be to block West
Germany’s alliance with the West
ern powers.
