ROME, April 1.-The familiar clamor of bells from Rome's many churches and cathedrals filled the air today, proclaiming Christ's re- surrection and the end of the forty days of Lenten mourning.
 Bells have been silent since Holy Thursday.
 While a devout congregation at tended services commemorating the Saviours passion and death within the churches, joyous organ music poured forth and once more the flames flickered on Paschal candles, as, for the first time since Lent be- gan, the holy images and relics were divested of their somber black and purple draperies.

MORNING SESSION

After another half a day given over to caucuses in an effort to gel together, Republican delegates as- sembled in Douglas for their Ter ritorial convention at noon today were still without permanent or ganization, and while reports eman- ating from caucuses indicated there was some hope of the two factions White and anti i-White-gettlng together, majority leader Alebert White stated at noon that his posi- tion was unchanged. MT. White has the support of the majority of the First Division and thereby holds the balance of power.
 Deliberate stalling yesterday In the hope that Lester o. Gore, Re- publican Candidate for Delegate for Congress. and Harry G. Mccain, Republican aspirant for Attorney General, who arrived on the North western. might be able to bring about compromise had apparently gone for naught up to noon.
 Each Must Glue
 "Each side has got to give a It. tie if they get together MT. Gore said on coming out of heated ses- sion but there is hope for an un- derstanding.
 Asked about the situation MT. White said: My position is just what it has been. I hold the major itv of the First Division. I certainly am not going to let minority rep resented by proxies tell me nor the majority of this convention what to do"
 The minority caucus this morning proposed that Mrs White step down as National Committeewoman and proposed former Judge Cecil H. Clegg for National Committeeman in place of E. A. Rasmuson. MT. promptly sent back an emphatic no. Later it was proposed to send Mrs. White to the national convention in Cleveland if MT. White would withdraw as candidate for dele gate to Cleveland This also met an emphatic refusal from the majority leader.
 White in no Hurry
 Just who will hold out the long, est for control of convention that actually hasn't started was prob lematical at noon today, but mai ority leader White let it be known that he had lots of time and could afford to stay on indefinitely.
 Many telegrams have been pour ing into the delegates the last "A hours and if they break out on the floor some hides are likely to be hung on the fence. MT. White, sit ting calmly in the drivers seat, smilingly remarked that he didn't think it was going to be his.
 National Committeeman Rasmus- on left the convention at noon, de- claring business called him to Skag- way. He was leaving by plane. Be- fore going he addressed the conven- tion, pleading for harmony.
 This is a political convention and no one expects such a one anywhere to be conducted with the solemnity of Maundy Thursday ceremonies, ol

In this is includ- cd the forcing of the unit rule on this convention; the inSistence on referring important matters to a committee known to be both partial and biased, no matter how high the integrity of individual members thereof; the slinging out of individ- uals for unwaranted attacks; the injecting in this convention of mat ters which no matter how impor- tant elsewhere can only place the convention in the wrong with the public at large, whom after all we represent and who in the fall elec- ton will either approve or disap- prove what we are going here by either electing or rejecting our can -didates."
 Candidate to Succeed Selt
 MT. Rasmuson said he was still candidate for National committee man to succeed himself. MT. White had previously stated that if MT. Rasmuson was actually still a can- didate for the post he probably would support him.
