The new paint, especially devel-
oped. doesn't need to be waxed,
and the blue color on the lower
part of the body and chassis will
minimize unsightly road film. he
added.
The repainting plan officially
is only an experiment so far, but
it already has been tried out on
some postal vehicles. Eleven
trucks are being adorned with
the tricolors here and will be on
the streets soon. local officials
said.
There are no plans to repaint
all postal trucks Immediately.
The scheme will be used only on
new trucks and those scheduled
for repainting anyway, Mr.. Sum-

Jerusalem Crowded
By Christian Pilgrims
For Easter Devotions
BY the Assoeioted Press

JERUSALEM, Jordon Section,
April 16.-Pilgrims from Western
countries packed every hotel and
hostel of Arab Jerusalem today
to join in a Jerusalem Easter
devotion.
The special devotion is called
The Way of the Cross-a pro-
cession following huge wooden
crosses from the point of Jesus
trial inside the old walled, city
along the path he followed to
Calvary and the tomb.
introduced a few hundred
years ago by Franciscan monks
from the West, the service always
is observed on Good Friday by
pilgrims from abroad. Conserva-
tive Oriental Christians living
here regard the procession as
too modern a tradition and do
not take part.
The pilgrims assemble at Pre-
torium. where Plate condemned
Christ, with each national group
following cross carried by young
men. At IA Stations of the Cross
along the way sermon is
preached in the language of each
group.
Most of the procession route
passes over medieval streets
which have scarcely changed
since the days of the Crusaders
In many places the streets are
covered with stone-vaulted CELL
ings and lighted only by small
skylights admitting the sun at
intervals. Automobiles or other
wheeled vehicles have never in
vaded them. Human porters
and overloaded donkeys are the
only means of transport in the
semi-daTkness.
Franciscan fathers. say the
present Way of the Cross is al
most identical with the route
Christ followed the first Good
Friday. although changes in the
city make some detours neces-
Sary.
The streets and buildings have
changed and even the city walls
have been moved, so that the
sites of Calvary and the Holy
Sepulchre are now inside the
city instead of outside the walls,
as in Biblical times.
The Franciscans point out,
however, that the pilgrims still
see some original objects which
existed on the day Christ was
executed.

made public today at his Easter

It's essence was "a statement
of policies and undertakings"
to which the United States will
conform when the EDO comes
into being. It called on the ma
tionS concerned-now France
and Italy-to proceed prompt
ly" on EDO ratification with
these principles in mind.
White House Press Secretary
James c. Hagerty emphasized
a part of the statement, saying
its essential elements have been
discussed with Democratic as
well as Republican leaders in
Congress.
The President did not promise
to maintain any specific number
of American troops in Europe
indefinitely. But he pledged this
country will keep there "such
units of its armed forces as may
be necessary and appropriate to
contribute its fair share of the
forces needed for the joint de-
fense Of the North Atlantic area
while a threat to that area
exists. and will continue to de-
ploy such forces in accordance
with agreed North Atlantic
strategy for the defense of this
area" The United States now
has the equivalent of six dlvi-
SionS on duty in Europe.
Gen. Eisenhower promised
France and the other EDO coun-
tries some voice in determining
the appropriate" level of Amer
ican troop strength in Europe.
This came in a pledge to consult
with the NATO and EDO allies
on the level of the armed forces
each Of them will put at disposal
of the supreme commander in
Europe.
Integration Encouraged.
The President also assured
the EDO countries that the
United States will encourage the
closest possible integration"
between their forces and those
of the United States and other
NATO allies
His reference to atomic and
hydrogen weapon information
amounted to a promise to con-
tinue pressing Congress for
changes in the Atomic Energy
Act to permit greater exchange
of information on what he called
"the military utilization of new
weapons and techniques."
Mr.. Hagerty said this included
information on the use of hydro
gen bombs as well as atomic
weapons, but not the secrets of
how to make them.

with his rent money. Il
The victim said he lost his
money and his ring trying to
pick the red ace out Of a three

Cutler waived preliminary hear
ing and was held in $4,000 bond
for the grand jury.
