HOPE AND STRENGTH FOR 2000 YEARS
Easter 1962
Christ Died for Me!
1*HESE FOUR WORDS seem to be the basis for this holy day.
It is amazing how this expression has changed men’s lives.
'Thousands of sermons have been preached on the subject for almost
2,000 years and yet the world does not fully understand what it
means.
This day marks Christ’s triumph over the grave, the proof
that He was more than mere man and that He was truly the son
of God.
Faster is truly the greatest day in the year for Christians and
la this century is just as important as it was in Christ’s time—
a time for rejodng.
With Communists, atom bombs, deceit between nations, and
conflict between races, Christians have the assurance that the
goodness of God can and will be victorious over evil. This we
must believe if we are Christians.
One way to renew that faith is by attendance in die church
of your choice for this joyful occasion.

! EX-TRAFFIC JUDGE STARTS
‘ A NEW CAREER — BOXING
PORTLAND, Ore. W — William
Simmons, a former Seattle traffic
judge who was removed from his
post, opened a new career in Port
land last night — boxing.
The former judge, who has been
training for about a year, got a
TKO over Bobby Sanders of
Phoenix, Ariz., in 2.05 minutes of
the first round, in a preliminary
bout at the Portland Armory.
Simmons’ appearance on the card
took the 600 fans by surprise, His
fistic debut had not been announced
in advance.
Sanders gave the ex-jurist little
opposition. Simmons knocked the
Arizonian down three times. When
Sanders went to the canvas for the
third time, referee George Robin
son stepped in to stop the one
sided bout.
Both fighters weighed in at 137
pounds.
George Chemeres, Simmons'
manager, appeared encouraged by
the outcome and said Simmons
plans more fights.
Simmons was removed from the
bench after he had been accused
of criminal assault on a woman
who had come to see him about
a traffic ticket.
He was convicted of the assault
charge by a Superior Court jury
in Seattle, He appealed to the
Washington State Supreme Court
which ruled a new trial for the
deposed jurist.
But the woman in the case would
not testify at a second trial, and
the charges against Simmons were
dropped.
Christians Obeserve Good
Friday In Jerusalem
JERUSALEM, (Jordan Sector) UP)
— Arab Christians and pilgrims
from around the globe bowed be
fore the traditional site of Calvary
at dawn this Good Friday inside
the walled city.
Church bells rang out across the
hills of Jerusalem. Skies were over
cast and drizzling.
A few hundred yards from the
worshippers in the church of the
Holy Sepulchre — built on the
ground where Christians believe
Christ was buried — Jordanian
desert troops peered from sand
bagged medieval walls across no
man’s land to the Israeli sector of
Jerusalem. But the frontier was
peaceful for the day.

ZORIN WILL WALK OUT
I IF US. RESUMES TESTS
GENEVA UP) — Soviet Foreign
Minister Valerian Zorin threatened
today to walk out of the 17-nation
General Disarmament Conference
if the United States conducts at
mospheric nuclear weapons tests
in the Pacific in the next week or
so.
He made the comment to news
men after a Good Friday session of
the disarmament conference.
In the conference room Itself
Zorin said the American tests
would bring about an extremely
tense international atmosphere.
U.S. Ambassador Arthur Dean
made it clear the United States
tests undoubtedly will be held be
cause of what he called the un
yielding Soviet attitude. Dean said
the Soviet Union apptars to have
killed any chance for a quick agree
ment on an internationally en
forced nuclear weapons test ban.
Both Dean and British Minister
of State Joseph Godber refused a
Russian call for an unpoliced mor
atorium on tests. The Russians re
mained adamant against interna
tional inspection and control.

Marshal Konev
Transferred Out
Of East Germany
BERLIN UPi — The removal of
Marshal Ivan Konev from com
mand of Soviet troops in East Ger
many is regarded as a most signi
ficant event by Western officials
in Berlin. Konev has been replaced
by Col. Gen. Ivan Yakubovski, the
Soviet news agency Tass reported
Thursday.
This restores the command situ
ation prevailing before the East
Germans built the wall across Ber
lin last August. Yakubovski was
then the commander of the 20 to
22 Soviet divisions in East Ger
many.
On Aug. 10 it was announced
Konev had come out of retirement
to take over from Yakubovski.
Three days after his appointment,
the East Germans began putting
up the wall to stop the flight of
refugees.
Word of Konev’s departure came
as a surprise to Western officials
here.
Konev has the reputation of being
a tough and resolute commander.
That was assumed to be the reason
for his return to duty when the
East was about to launch the peril
ous operation of sealing off West
Berlin. Under his orders two So
viet armored divisions moved into
position on Berlin’s outskirts while
the East Germans began the wall.
Three weeks later President
Kennedy sent retired Gen. Lucius
Clay to Berlin as his personal re
presentative. The termination of
Clay’s mission was announced by
the White House last week. He
leaves Berlin May 6.
Thus the two top figures dis
patched by the Kremlin and the
White House to Berlin at the
height of the crisis will have left.
In political circles here there was
speculation the moves were re
lated bound up with the present
phase of U.S.-Soviet negotiation
over Berlin.
Western sources suggested Pre
mier Khrushchev felt he could pull
back his marshal after the an
nouncement that President Ken
nedy was withdrawing his general.
The reasoning was that Konev’s
arrival presaged trouble for Berlin,
so his departure could possibly be
a promise of a more settled period.
