forces under Castro's command in
Sierra Maestro, Oriente Province,
had a conference with President
Batista, in the Presidential Palace,
and assured him that the rebel
forces have been bottled up and
cannot even come down to the
plains Of the western part of the
Province.
Col. Ugalde CarriIlo was accom-
panied by Lieutenant General
Francisco Tabernilla, Chief of
Joint Staff, when visiting the Chief
Executive.
Ugalde Carrillo maintained the
rebels have been bottled up in the
top of the mountains, and that
sabotage in some other parts OF
the Province are caused by con,
mon criminals and not by Castro's
troops.
He added the army maintains q
constant pressure upon the haras-
sed rebels.
Meanwhile, reports from Mama
Milo, Oriente, say Castro's rebels
kidnapped six persons in Cam
pechuela and killed one of them
in the presence of the rest, real
easing them. 1t is added the rebels
hang a sign around the dead's
neck which read: "Informer".
Reports from the central front"
say trop reinforcements from Ca
magiey Province arrived in Nue..
vitas, near the border line of Orien-
tie and Camagiey provinces, to
search for "plunderers" in the
Santa Lucia hills, where an army
patrol was ambushed recently.
In other fronts in the campaign
against the Government, sabotage
has been reported from half q
dozen cities of the interior, includ-
ing Matanzas and C~amagiey, as
well as Havana.
In Havana, five persons were
arrested, accused of sending medi-
cines and explosives to Castro's
supporters. A fierce fire destro-
yed two commercial establish
ments in La Lisa, a suburb OF
nearby Mariana. There vert no
casualties, but damages have been
estimated in 100000.

Home for Easter

The To-day Easter vacation which
Congress is taking will not be wasted.
For all of the members, one may be sure,
will be very busy trying to find out what
the recession has done to their States
and districts, and what their constitu-
ents think is needed to remedy the situa-
ton. The result of this economic pulse
taking will be translated into action, one
way or another, shortly after Congress
reaSsembleS on the 14th.
AS the legislators were preparing to
leave Washington, kind Of go-slow sig
nal was raised against hasty economic
tinkering. Bernard Baruch, who has
been indicated as an economic prophet
in the past, spoke out strongly against
a tax cut and against a public works
program unless 1t is self -liquidating. Mr..
Baruch thinks imitation, not recession,
continues to be the big long-range
threat
The President warned against hasty
legislative action which, in the long run,
might do more harm than good. And
Senate Republicans succeeded in post
poning final vote on the 5000 million
public works bill until after the Easter
recess.
The net effect of all this Is that the
Government will stop, look and listen
for 10 days. During that time, as the
March figures come in, the economic
picture should grow a little clearer. II
there is no material improvement, how
ever, and if the legislators return with o
do-something-or-els ultimatum from
the voters, something will have to give.
In that situation the first thing to 60
will be the go-slow policy.

Victory for the Public

The public interest prevailed over
selfish interests in the noteworthy pas
sage by Congress of reasonably effective
antibillboard legislation. The victory
assures protection of most Of the new
interstate highway system from deface-
ment by outdoor advertising of the kind
so familiar to travellers on U. S. Route
and many other main highways.
The extent of the extraordinary
pressures brought against any Federal
move to control Signboards can be
gagged from the fact that the fate of
a moderate control amendment to the
emergency highway Speedup bill was in
doubt even after receipt by the House
of favorable conference report. The
Senate previously had watered down the
original Neuberger- Kuchel proposal as
gesture toward the billboard interests
who were virtually alone in their fight
against any restrictions on their exploit
tation of the new expressways. House
confereeS were divided on the billboard
amendment, three for and two against
1t. (The affirmative trio: Representa-
tives Fallon of Maryland, Blatnik Of
Minnesota and Davis of Tennessee.)
A laSt-ditch effort in the House to re-
commit the bill failed by 2-to-1 vote.
On the final vote, however, the legis-
lation, including the billboard control
clause, was passed overwhelmingly. Sem
ate concurrence in the House action
never was in doubt
While it has been generally referred
to as Federal billboard control amend
ment, the new provision actually leaves
all.regulatory powers to the States To
encourage State control, however, the
Federal Government will offer bonus"
of one-half Of per cent in additional
Federal-aid money for interstate high
way projects. Thus, State adopting
adequate restrictions under standards
to be set by the Secretary of Commerce
will be entitled to have 901a per cent Of
the cost Of the new roads paid from
Federal funds-instead Of the normal
80 per cent.
One of the much-revised amend
nnent's weaknesses, however, is that bill
boards will be allowed on sections Of the
new highway network where signs al
ready are permitted. This means that
perhaps 10000 miles of old rights of way
taken into the new system may be lined
with commercial signs of all shapes,
sizes and degrees of unsightliness. The
motorist touring the new limited access
freeways will have a good opportunity,
therefore, to compare the sign-curtained
sections with the long stretches Of road
side landscape unmarried by these man
made distractions. The contrast should
make him rejoice that the billboard
interests did not have their way.

In his second inaugural
address, the President stated
that Budapest was no longer
merely a city, but a new
symbol of mans yearning to
be free.
On April I, 1858, little
more than a year later,
Budapest becomes a new
symbol Of mans degradation.
On that day Nikita Khru-
shchev. dictator Of the Com

a gigantic celebration.
The crocodile has crept
Ashore. He filings the gauntlet

This celebration takes place
on a day when q thousand
million Christians relive the

Look, Ma, No Wheels!

We are afraid that the Ford Motor
Company's latest model, designed for
future motor travel, is too good to be
true. The prospect Of a car with no
tire troubles, no brakeband replace
ments, no possibility of wheel disorders
Of any kind is something to dream about.
Yet Ford research experts assert that
the dream may come true. In fact, they
have produced small version of such
vehicle-a wheelless "Glideair" car that,
as its name implies, actually glides on
air.
Newsmen were given an April
Fools Day demonstration Of a scooter
propelled by and on Jet air stream,
just as the larger car is expected to do.
The principle involved Is the production
Of q powerful air current by q gasoline
turbine or turbojet engine and the use
Of the Jet stream to lift the car from the
ground and send 1t forward at q high
rate Of speed. Andrew H. Kuchner, Ford
vice president in charge of engineering
and research, predicted that the time
may come when such cars will whizz
across the country at speeds up to 500
miles an hour-using q special mono
rail track This is assuming, Of course,
that the speed laws are amended to per-
nit fast driving on the "Glideair" high
ways.
Stopping the unsupported cars,
especially at high speeds, is a problem
yet to be worked out, however. The en-
gineers are considering means of revers-
ing the Jet thrust, of installing water
scoops at regular stopping places and
other declaration devices Technology
being what 1t is today, something rea-
sonably satisfactory undoubtedly will be
worked out eventually. It is possible,
though, that rocket ships will be carry
ing men into space before the Glideair
cars are perfected-and we suspect that
anyone willing to risk his neck at 500
miles an hour on land would prefer
space travel when It becomes available.
Thus, Glideair is threatened with obso-
lescence even before 1t has progressed
beyond the laboratory stage.

God speaks to Christians
through the Resurrection. AS
Easter approaches. we can
take an inward look at our
own lives and contemplate
the love Of our Saviour who
went all the way for each one
Of US.
The Scriptures record that
Simon, the Cyrenian. bore
the cross of Christ part of the
way up Calvary's hill. This
is a perfect picture of q
Christians identification with
Christ.
Some Of us have crosses to
carry - some light - some
heavy. We complain at times
that 1t is more than we can
bear. But the cross that
Jesus bore for US was heavier
and the sacrifice he made was
greater than any we are
called upon to make. We
are reminded Of the words
Of the hymn writer, Isaac
Watts:
when I survey the wondrous
Gross,
On which the Prince Of
Glory died.
My richest gain / count but
loss.
1And pour contempt on all
my pride"
May all true believers and
followers Of Christ glory in
the fact Of Easter and re-
joice with God that His Son
conquered death and the
grave.
HE is risen!" What a mes
sage to give to a world that
is beset with atomic fears and
doubts. Unbelief and ignor-
ance cannot cancel the Won

is the idea of any country
