Religion
Eoster & Passover

E0SIer q PUSSoVer
For the first time in a quarter
century, two major religious
.holidays-the Jewish feast of
the Passover ard the Christian
Easter-occur the same day.
This rare phenomenon, based
on astronomical factors govern
ing the Hebrew calendar date
for Passover and the Gregorian
calendar date for Easter, won't
happen again until 1881.
Joint Services
In some cities, special Joint
gatherings have been arranged
to share traditions of the two
occasions. More han $50 persons,
so Protestant and
Jewish congregations, attended
such a dinner in Denver.
It's aim: to bring "a greater
measure of understanding" of
the two eVentS-of Easter COM
memorating Christ'S crucifixion
and resurrection from death, of
Passover recalling the Israelites'
deliverance from Egyptian bond
age.
1--WE pray that the conjunction
of these two sacred seasons will
strengthen the bond between
Judaism and Christianity" DR..
Maurice N. Eisendrath, presi-
dent of the Union of American
Hebrew Congregations, said in a.
Passover message.
Respecting our differences,
may we yet together rededicateI
TO the Passover mis-
sion of removing the shackles of
miSe.y and hungerI
from the worlds downtroddenI
and to the Easter task of revital-
lzing the spirit of holiness among
all the children Of men,"
Methodist Bishop William C..
president of the National
Council CT Churches, said in an
Easter message:
ITO understand Easter we
must follow Christ through the
lgonies and death of Holy Week.
Without the crucifixion there
would be no Easter. For victory
IS born out of struggle, and life
inevitably involves struggle"

NeW FieIds TO Conquer

The National Foundation for

American history, is looking for

Mass trial inoculations of the

throughout most of the nation.
The campaign to inject up to one
million children will get into
full swing after the Easter

Basil O'Connor, foundation
president, has often said the pri-
mary goal of his organization
was to put itself out of business
by eliminating polio as a health
menace.
The foundation has hired an
expert to explore the possibility
OF championing some new health
or welfare cause if the Salk vac
cine does prove an effective polio
preventive.

DR.. Oppenheimer was barred

Genius in One Field
Oppenheimer was a youth who
grew into a star in one par
ticular field without ever MAX
ing contact with the general
world about him, or with the
practicalities of life. If he had
not fallen into the rhythm of
mathematics and the equations
by which men evaluate natural

tices in his field, hadn't cleaned
them up after 10 months. He
was not accu- I'd of aiding and
abetting. Albert M. Cole. head
of the supervising Housing and
Home Finance Agency, said.
Mr.. Hollyday is in my opinion
a good Christian gentleman"
But Hollyday hadn't COPIED, and
Norman P. Mason, a Massachu-
setts lumber dealer, was put in
to cope.
Official pronouncements
stressed how much of the bad
practices had originated under
the Democrats. But they had
continued under Eisenhower
too. Some contractors were milk
ing the government, while other
slick operators were following
through to milk holne-purchas-
ers directly. Hollyday had known
about it since last July. There
had been some SloWness, to say
the least, about a menace other
than communism.

Food No Problem
This nations most pressing
problem normally, the feeding
of its steadily growing popula-
tion-has been solved at least
temporarily. In the last crop
year India produced a record of
more than 47l2 million tons of
cereals. This permitted a dras-
tic slash in the import of wheat
ard allowed young India to take
a long step toward self-suficien-
cy in food.
Continuous good crop years

But unemployment developed.

If everything goes as planned,

world market so badly glutted
that production is hopelessly out
running demand.
There has been an air of ex-

international Marketing Plan
Prodded by Washington and
London, the eight companies
have finally agreed on a plan for
marketing the oil. They have sent
a negotiating team to Tehran.
Expectations are that the Iran
ian government will 60 along
with their plan, and that Trans
oil industry will be back in
operation within a few months.
With the possible exception of
the British-owned Anglo-Iranian
Oil Co. Ltd, the eight companies
have little to gain from a revival
of Iranian oil production.
The five American companies
have large Middle Eastern inter
ests elsewhere. Standard Oil of
California, Standard Oil (New
Jersey), Socony-Vacuum and the
Texas Co. are heavily involved
in Saudi Arabia; Gulf Oil Corp.
has a big stake in the fabulous
Burgan field in Kuwait.
While Iran was out of the pic
ture, oil production in these
other countries was greatly ex-
panded. Saudi Arabia's crude oil
output recently has been averag-
ing more than 100000 barrels a
day; Kuwait's well over 100000
barrels daily.
Aid for a Competitor
Now Iran (195O output: 7OO.-
600 barrels a day. will be in
direct competition with them.
But the considerations prompt
ing restoration of Trans oil in
duStry were not dictated by sim
pie economics. More was at
stake. Deprived of its oil reve-
nueS, the strategic little country
on the Soviet Unions southern
frontier was on the verge of
total bankruptcy. A powerful
Communist party was striving
to push the Shah's government
into Russia's outstretched arms.
Reviving its oil industry seemed
the best way of saving the coun-
try from economic collapse and

the technical knowhow and mar
keting facilities that only the big

Their basic battle is over
Kashmir, where since l948 a

Side issues include a fight over

international Problems
Here are a few of Nehru's in
ternational problems and their
present status:
SOUTH AFRICA - India has
carried on a relentless war
against South Africa's racial
policies within and without the
United Nations. Visas for travel
of South Africans are almost in
variably refused.
CEYLON-More than a mil
lion Indians make up the bulk
of Ceylon's labor population.
India claimed certain political
rights for them, but Ceylon's
prime minister says they are
foreigners and will be treated
as such.
COMMUNIST CHINA-India
has sought 20 maintain close
and friendly relations, support
ing seating of the Chinese in the.
United Nations and exchanging.
cultural and other goodwill mis-
sions. But behind the scenes is
concern over a boundary dispute
between India and Chinese
held Tibet. Both claim the
Himalayan range which forms a
vital defense line.
FRANCE-In March India be-
gan its most determined cam
paign to merge French India
scattered colonial remnants with
headquarters at Pondicherry on
the South Indian east coast
with the Indian republic. Nehru
told Parliament the will of the
people" in French India was so
evident that a referendum Con
which France insists was un-
necessary.
PORTUGAL--India's continu-
ing battle with Portugal over
Goa, the Portuguese pocket" on
India's west coast, fiared up
again. India charged that Portu-
gal was mistreating Goanese.
UNITED STATES-Nehru has
had almost a continuous run
ming battle with the United
States as head of the anti-Com-
munist Western bloc. The cold
war, atomic experiments, tests
of the H-5omb, the seating of
Communist China in the United
Nations were all subjects on.
which Nehru attacked American
policies. A treaty of friendship
and commerce between the two
countries, under discussion for
more than two years, has lain
dormant for months.
There is so little friendship
just now it seems pointless toI

official.
But it is predicted freely here
that Indo-American relations,
