After lighting a six-foot candle symbolizing the Easter light of Christ, the pontiff celebrated a Mass announcing the joy of Easter in Christ's resurrection from the dead. It was the first time Pope Paul officiated at the Holy Saturday ritual, which by tradition is not attended by the pontiff. The dramatic moment of resurrection and pealing of bells normally comes at midnight but the Pope celebrated the service at St. Peter's Basilica early because the Basilica is never open at night. The ceremony began at 6:20 p.m.
(12:20 p.m. EST) red, the color of mournThe pontiff, was garbed in ing, when he left his Vatican apartments for the Chapel of the Sacrament. Then he put on his golden miter and moved in a procession to the porch of the Basilica. The fire representing Christ flint and kindled with charcoal. reborn was struck.
there from Pope lighted the "Lumen Christi" (Light of Christ) candle from the new flame, and the procession entered the Basilica, where thousands of tourists and Easter pilgrims were in the congregation. The images of the saints at this stage were still covered in respect for the passion and crucifixion of Christ on Good Friday. The Pope sat to the right of the confessional altar on a throne upholstered in red and set against a purple backdrop. The pontiff celebrated Mass afterwards with Paolo Cardinal Marella, William Theodore Cardinal Heard, Federico Cardinal Callori di Vignale and seven other Vatican prelates. A foggy day in London town sounds romantic, but it can be dangerous.

Arrangements are under the Most Peace Marchers Quit LBJ Ranch JOHNSON CITY, Tex. (UPI) -Most of the 40 peace marchers who spent the day picketing the road President Johnson's ranch left the area Saturday night, but eight remained on the roadside in a hunger-silence Easter protest against U.S. policies in Viet Nam. Houston Wade of Houston, a spokesman for the group, said about the same number would return at sunrise Sunday to maintain a second full day of demonstrations. The eight who remained were two girls and six boys, all white youths of college age.
They lay on blankets near a road block set up by highway patrolmen. vowed not to eat, drink until 4 p.m., They, Sunday. The President did not see the demonstrators. They were stopped at a blockade about one mile from the LBJ Ranchhouse. The demonstrationwas part of a nationwide protest organized by "Students for a Democratic Society." The marchers rendezvoused at a roadside.
about four miles from the President's ranch. Eight of the demonstrators vowed to fast until 4 p.m., Sunday. Wait at Blockade Eight highway patrolmen, including Col. Homer Garrison, director of the Texas Department of Public Safety, and six Secret Service men were waiting at the blockade. "You're in trouble if, you try to pass the a Secret Service agent told the group.
The marchers stepped off the road and stood about 10 feet apart on both sides of the two-lane Ranch Road One. Garrison said the group would be allowed to stay there "as long as they stand peaceably. and don't interfere with traffic." Tight security surrounded the march throughout. Two plainclothesmen mingled with the marchers as they gathered and patrolled the road as they walked the roadside park to the barricade. The spokesman, 23- year-old Perdun of Ausgroup's, tin, said the group.
would remain until sundown and return Sunday at sunrise. The eight fasters would remain overnight, he said. Adults Join Students Several adults met with the marchers at the roadside park, but drifted away during the twohour wait before the walk to the barricade began. The demonstrators included college students from the University of Texas, Rice University, the University of Houston and North Texas State University. There was little prospect the demonstrators would see President Johnson or be able to deliver petitions calling on the President to remove U.
S. military forces from Southeast Asia. Ranch Road 1, which runs past the LB.J Ranch, is closed to public whenever the President is at home. Extra details of Texas highway patrolmen guarded the road blocks Saturday and other patrol cars cruised between Johnson City and the ranch, 15 miles west. Headquarters for the demonstration was a park outside the hamlet of Hye.
The protest was organized by the University of Texas chapter of "Students for a Democratic Society." Also demonstrating were members of a Houston group called "Citizens for Action on Viet Nam" and a group from the American Friends Service Committee, a Quaker organization. The demonstrators gathered in Austin Friday night to plan their protest. They decided to demonstrate until dark Saturday, then return at sunrise Sunday. In an Easter statement on Viet Nam, read to reporters at his ranch just before the start of the demonstration, Johnson made no mention of the protest directly. But he said he understood the desires of many people to end the war in Viet Nam.
He added: "The compassion of this country and the world must go out to the men, women and children killed every day in South Viet Nam infiltration continues. Death in the night continues. And we must also Car-Truck Wreck Fatal To Four GOLDEN MEADOW, La. (AP) car-truck collision near here Saturday killed four men, including three college students.

Tugboat Pulling Barges Capsizes; Texan Is Killed FRANKLIN, La. (AP) A tugboat pulling five barges capzied on the Intracoastal Canal near here Saturday, and one Texas crewman, trapped in the hull, died. The victim, Floyd Smith, 30, of Waco was asleep below deck when the 65-foot Mustang overturned after the barges jackknifed. The other four crewmen were rescued. The tug was operated by Towing Co.
of Houston. The accident occurred about 2. a.m. halfway between Morgan City and New Iberia. Trying to save the man, a hole was cut in the side of the tug, and a crewman managed to reach in and keep Smith's head above water as efforts were made to enlarge the hole.
However, Smith's head slipped out of his grasp and he drowned. Almost inevitably tribal wedding custom requires what African natives call lobola, or bride payment.

Hasten Crest The weather bureau said four cold nights in a row hastened the Mississippi crest in the Twin Cities. But light rain and snow fell in parts of Minnesota, adding to the misery of workers. Flood waters poured over two concrete dikes at Stillwater and St. Croix, Minn.
A moored barge broke loose and lodged under St. Paul's high bridge. Minnesota counted 10 dead. Gov. Karl Rolvaag said "very preliminary estimates" show $36 million in damage.
The Mississippi was expected to crest at six feet above flood stage at LaCrosse the middle next week, and four and a half feet above flood stage at Prairie Du Chien next Friday.

Chief Mediator For U.S. Joins Steel Pact Talks PITTSBURGH (UPI) The government's chief mediator will join labor and management negotiators Monday when steel industry contract talks resume under the shadow of a May 1 strike deadline. The presence of William F. Simkin, director of the federal mediation service, will be the first overt action by the government to end a stalemate that has existed between the United Steelworkers union and the nation's "Big 11" basic steel producers since talks opened last December.
Disclosure of Simkin's plans were revealed in Washington Friday night. Negotiations have been in recess since Thursday when the union, which represents 450,000 workers in basic steel, rejected industry proposal for a sixmonth contract extension with a five-cent hourly wage increase as a down payment on a new agreement. The union was said to have been seeking a 15-cent package with provisions of the final agreement retroactive to May 1. Steelworkers now earn an average of $3.40 hourly. Combined with fringe benefits the cost to the companies is $4.37 per manhour.
The previous two contracts in the steel industry were achieved well in advance of expiration dates, the latter without formal negotiations. They were the result of work by the Human Relations Committee, a union management group formed after the record 116-day strike of 1959-60. A factor in the impasse, the industry claims, is lack of unity within the union because of the USW's Feb. 9 election in which secretary-treasurer I. W.
Abel apparently defeated incumbent David J. McDonald. The outcome will not be official, however, until announced by the union's three international tellers following completion of their investigation into charges of voting irregularities. That disclosure is not expected before May 1. Brazil Expells 9 China Envoys RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (AP) Brazil expelled Saturday nine Red China envoys who came here a year ago on a cultural mission and were later convicted of espionage and subversion.
Armed guards escorted the Chinese to a Swissair jetliner for a flight to Switzerland. Arrested shortly after the downfall of Joao Goulart government, which had invited them here, the Red Chinese were tried and sentenced to 10 years in prison. The question of expelling them was blocked temporarily when a military tribunal insisted on a parole but President Humberto Castello Branco decreed their expulsion. About 000 taken from the Chinese upon their arrest was returned to them before their departure. Ben Wheeler Singing Today BEN WHEELER Regular monthly, gospel today at singing 2 p.m.

Indiana Christians To Give Thanks Today INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (AP) Hundreds of Indiana Christians will worship in strange churches Easter Sunday, affirming faith in the Resurrection and giving thanks for being alive at the end of the state's most tragic Passion Week. On Palm Sunday, at least 10 giant tornadoes raked three belts in northern and central sections, leaving 130 dead and hundreds injured.
It was Indiana's worst disaster. The massive destruction included at least 10 churches, many of which were holding evening services when the storms lashed the state. Remarkably few persons were hurt in churches. Rugged old oaken pews saved a Baptist congregation which cowered beneath them while brick walls collapsed at Russiaville. It and members of the demolished Friends church were invited to hold their Easter Services in the damaged but still usable Russiaville Methodist church.
Other churches were smashed by the 500-mile-an-hour twisters at Kokomo, Alto, Forest, Wyatt, and Dunlap. The Sunnyside Mennonite church planned afternoon Easter and communion services at the slightly damaged Evangelical United Brethren church, whose congregation will worship in the morning. But the congregation of the First General Baptist church in the Sunnyside addition was undecided about services its building was destroyed. Surviving churches in the storm area were scenes of a steady sequence of funerals during the week, although some multiple services were held in school gymnasiums and mortuaries. More than 20 families suffered multiple losses, including family near Sheridan and deaths each in the Good- Starrett Jackson family in a trailer court near Dunlap in Elkhart County.
There were 15 funerals Friday in Elkhart County, which had 50 deaths. There was some minor looting in shattered stores and dwell- ings, but for every scavenger there were hundreds of who did rescue and salvagework until they just about dropped in their tracks. Ninety prisoners from the Indian Reformatory and StateFarm joined in the work. The Indiana National Guard sent 1,300 men and vehicles ofthe 38th disaster Infantry Division area. They, 300- state police and officers loaned by undamaged freed local authorities from security work: The Salvation Army, Red Cross, church service committees, Civil Defense units, citizens band radio operators, airmen from Bunker Hill Air Force Base, and people who just wanted to help, poured into the devastated areas.
Contractors and industries pulled heavy equipment off other jobs and put their men and machines to opening blocked roads and sifting rubble for bodies. Ft. Benjamin Harrison loaned furniture and mobile homes firms loaned a thousand trailers for temporary housing. President Johnson visited the Midwest tornado areas and ordered quick federal aid. Even the Internal Revenue Service showed compassion, giving tornado victims a two-month extension for filing income tax returns.
They also will be able to deduct their tornado losses in the 1964 returns. Public utilities, hard hit by the twisters, did a remarkable job in only a week. Indiana Bell lost three exchanges and had 000 phones out of service at one time. All but about 400 will be functioning again by Sunday night. Power, cut off to wide areas even outside the tornado area, has been largely restored.
By Saturday, the situation was well enough under control that thought could be given to debris-covered fields, where farmers need to get started soon planting corn and soybeans. Volunteers with chain saws and bolt cutters cleared away fallen trees, pieces of buildings and tangles of wire fencing. It was a somber Easter season, but the storm survivors learned that a lot of people cared.
