=. When the first people who believed
in Christ sought to express their
worshiping love Of Him, they could
think at first only of the Resurrec-
ton. This was to them the event of
all events, the wonder of all wonders,
the gift of all gifts. 1t was the tri-
umph of promise over disappointment,
of faith over despair, of life over
death. The suffering of Calvary was
atoned for, the defeat Of the sepul-
chre set aside. ChriSt's human life
was renewed in glory which spoke
beyond further doubt of the divine
life which was His forever. This
new life dimmed for moment even
the beauty of the old. They could
think of nothing else. And SO the
day of that renewal the feast of
Easter became the first anniversary
of the Christian calendar.
AS it seemed to the first generation
so it has remained to the rest Other
days have been set aside to COM
memorate the other events in our
Lords life mingled as they are of
graciousneSs and tragedy. But Easter
has remained the feast of feasts,
the anniversary transcendent because
it validates and seals all that the
other feasts bespeak. Without 1t
Good Friday would remain question

of human beauty more futile because
of its very graciousness. The moral
splendors of the Gospel without
Easter would be ironies subject to the
wantonness and destruction of an
unappreciative fate. The Gospels,
unparalleled as a revelation of mans
godlike possibilities, would be un-
paralleled also in the depth Of dis
appointment to which they would
abandon the hopes unjustiflably
awakened.
This world, without the revelation
of Heavens nearness which the
Resurrection brings, is full of intima-
tions of happiness which it is
powerful to suggest but powerless TO
realize. Each day begins with a
dawn that eliminates in a noontide
and sinks into a night. Each spring
opens with a burgeoning of living
green that opens out in summer full
ness and fades In autumn sadness.
Each winter. indeed, is succeeded by
another spring. Yet the very re-

the more fragrant union abuses and
restore to some extent an equality Of
bargaining power. Taken with the i'm
proved mediation machinery proposed
in the majority's bill, the minority
amendments would help the situation,
and they should be adopted. The best
generalized argument for them is con-
tained in this excerpt from the minority
report: "It has always been an axiom
of liberalism that unrestrained and un-
regulated power in the hands of any
individual or group is dangerous to
democracy and freedom. Labor unions
and their leaders exercise such un-
restrained and unregulated power today.
The proposals which we are making in
these amendments are aimed to be
corrective of certain labor practices in
the same sense that the antitrust laws
of the early decades Of this century were
corrective of the abuses of the free
enterprise system. Such measures safe
guard real freedom"

News and Russiu

The three distinguished Russian
writer's who travelled thousands of
miles to meet here Friday, and again
Yesterday, with the American Society
of Newspaper Editors spoke eloquent
words for freedom, for democracy,
for mutual understanding, for
friendship, above all for a decent
and enduring peace, and no one
who shad the pleasure Of hearing
them could have doubted that what
they said came from their hearts.
Yet, these three-Ilya Ehrenburg
of Izvestia, Konstantin SimonoV Of
Red Star and General Mikail Galak-
tionov of Pravda-do not define such
things as freedom and democracy
as we define them, though their sim
cerity seems no less real. The Rus
sian mind is not the Western mind.
Over the centuries it has been lnf1u-
enced and shaped by a culture,
tradition, a philosophical viewpoint
not at all like ours, SO that liberty
is seen in another light, within an
other intellectual framework, and to
men like Ehrenburg, their definitions
of it apparently are at least as good
and honest as ours.
This is the chief mental gulf be-
tween our two countries. What both
our peoples and governments must
try to do, therefore, is to come to
comprehend why to each of us the
same words-freedom and democ-
racy-mean different things. But
this comprehension, difficult under
the best of circumstances, cannot
be encouraged if a wall stands
against it as now. This wall is not
of American making. While they
are here, the three Russian journal
lists will find this country open to
them; will find themselves free to
report whatever they see. But the
same cannot be said of pre- ent
Soviet policy toward our own
correspondents, and as long as
that policy is maintained, the longer
1t will take and the harder it will
be for our two great nations to
achieve a wholesome understanding
Of eac3l other.
1t must be hoped, in the circum-

stances, that when they return to
their homeland, Mr.. Ehrenburg and
his colleagues will do everything
they can to promote a new dispensa-
ton under which there may one day
be established genuinely free
exchange of news. This must be the
indispensable starting point of any
effort to do away with mutual
suspicion and make American
Russian relations the mighty pillar
of peace they can be.

The U. N. Interpreters

LII q SClloC, plOUdUly tllt lllOoC LII
portant single group at the New
York meeting of the United Ma
tions Security Council are the more
or less obscure interpreters. There
are only handful of them present.
Their names do not get in the head
lines. They are completely over
shadowed by Gromyko, Stettinius,
Cadogan and the other stars of the
drama now being played at Hunter
College. Yet without them, despite
their relative anonymity, the drama
would be mere confusion, cacoph-
ony of words without meaning, a
maddening Babel mocking all efforts
to achieve international understand
ing.
Russians, Americans, Egyptians,
Britons, Iranians, Poles, Brazilians,
Chinese-these and others are all
members of the Council or have
business before it. They differ in
language, in culture, in economic
and political philosophy, in histori-
cal and religious background, and
in any number of additional ways
that would make them almost COM
plete strangers to each other If
there were not some instrument en-
abling them to speak to each other,
to exchange ideas, and to be mu-
tually comprehended. The inter-
prefers are this instrument. 1t is
they-the four or five of them
who do away with the confusion of
tongues, so that every nation that
listens can understand what would
otherwise be a senseless tumble of
words.
The work of these men is not
that of simple translation. They
must bring to their unique labors
a wide knowledge of world affairs,
quick intelligence, immense concen-
tration, an ability to interpret not
only extemporaneous speeches but
rapid-flre oral exchanges, during
which they must show the greatest
speed, tact, precision and mental
agility lest they tumble over words
or misconstrue them. Further,
they must be tight -mouthed and
highly trustworthy, for not infre-
quently they take part in delicate,
off -the-record negotiations where
things may be said which, If re-
peated in public, could cause serious
mischief.
1t will take more than distin-
guished work of this kind, of course,
to make the United Nations a sue
cess. A genuine meeting of minds
among the different powers cannot
be achieved simply by translating
many tongues so we'll that no
tongue will be an obstacle to un-
derstanding. The thing goes far
deeper than that, involving the
comprehension not merely of words
but of the ideas, ideals and aspira-
tions which the words seek to rep
resent. To the extent that Ian
guage is the first barrier, however,
the U. N. interpreters are lndis-
pensable. Our Babel may be al
ways with us, but they are playing
a role of vital Importance in man

sense into it.

der conditions of global war. Today
the Resurrection of the Saviour will
be celebrated against a background
which may not approximate peace
but which nevertheless contains the
hope of righteous world order and
fellowship. That there are dangers
no thoughtful bystander can deny.
Millions of people are existing on
the edge OF starvation, whole ma
tlons face the frightful terrors of
famine and correlated plaques. Com
munlties which fought for freedom
still have nothing but the faint
shadow of liberty as their reward.
Aggression has not disappeared from
the earth. Evil forces remain un-
corrected. There is uncertainty,
unrest everywhere, even in America.
the most notably fortunate of all
countries.
Perhaps much of the explanation
of the prevailing insecurity and dis
quiet may be discovered in the fact
that multitudes realize, however in
artlculately, that the challenge
which God has thrown down to
humanity has not been met. The
significance of the first Easter never
has been fully appreciated. During
nearly twenty centuries Christian
civilization has been an ideal
achieved only in part and for brief
periods and in few places. Let it
be conceded that the unqualified
realization of what Christ taught
and died for has been sought by
great numbers of devout and sanity
men and women; the faithful never
yet have been majority; still vaster
throngS of people have practiced the
ancient paganism of ignorance and
fear and greed. And the result has
been recurrent conflicts, repeated
struggles, which have Knocked the
Almighty and flouted the sacrifice
of His Son.
Granted. likewise, that no indi-
vidual has planned such frustra-
ton of divine purpose, the fact
stands fully proved that Easter
the central reality of human history
has been kept only ineffectively.
People have practiced it in their own
selfish and futile resemblance. Year
after year it has come and gone only
as the most inconsequential dates
in the ordinary calendar have
neared and passed. Meanwhile, the
lesson of the victory of Jesus over
the grave has waited for compre-
henSion, waited for understanding.
Suffering and sorrow admittedly
now have cleansed the minds and
the hearts of many The bitter
experience of mankind during the
past four decades undoubtedly has
revealed the glory of the Saviour's
emergence from the tomb in a light
before unequaled. Disaster has not
been the lot of humanity in vain.
The atomic age has not dawned
without spiritual and ethical impact.
Surely, the average person at last
is aware that he must make his own
Easter, his own destiny, his own
salvation under God. The processes
of education by which he has arrived
at that point in his progress toward
the kingdom in this earth have
been cruel indeed, but they have
not been fruitless. That is why the
anniversary of the Resurrection IN

This is a point of view which is
fatally shortsighted because it places
the welfare of minority. often of
very small minority, ahead of the well
fare of the whole people. Hardly less
shortsighted is the committees conten-
ton that other powers exercised by
unions must not be abridged or regu-

the committee is sadly mistaken If it

Market dressed poultry received
hard frozen may be kept salts
factorily up to 8 days, loosely
wrapped in waxed paper If it IL

and stored in the coolest part Of
the refrigerator. At the end of this
period bird will be completely de-
frosted and should be cooked im-
mediately. For quick defrosting,
place wrapped bird under stream
of COLD water. When completely
defrosted, bird should be cooked i'm
mediately. Once defrosted, do not
refreeze poultry.

applies to chicken that is cooked
