Pope Paul VI began the feast for Roman Catholics with an Easter Vigil Mass a few hours earlier in the magnificence of the basilica. Before beginning Mass, the Pope carved a cross on a huge decorated candle and lit the wick to symbolize Christ as the light of the world. A procession carried the lighted candle into the darkened church.

The weekends religious celebrations held a special meaning for the parade of West Berliners crossing the Berlin wall into East Berlin and East Germany for the first Easter visits in six years. Holy Saturday was another day of fear in Northern Ireland. The province remained tom even on the eve of Christendoms most significant feast by the bitter antagonisms separating the two Irish branches of the Christian faith. Catholics Unfurl Banners Roman Catholics unfurled banners for marches to commemorate the 1916 uprising against British rule. Authorities were uneasy lest Protestants still angry over British security moves clash with the marching Catholics. Britons drove out of London in such numbers that authorities reported a seven-mil- e traffic jam on one highway. But the morning rush slowed as a wide belt of rain crossed the country. Holiday makers seeking to flee the rain packed British airports for flights to friendlier climates. Sunrise services were scheduled in most parts of the United States. state's fiscal year Saturday.

The prison guards had threatened to strike Friday night with the expiration of their contact, but delayed the deadline for one week.

Don Robertson, director of the Flaremingo Park Zoo in Scarborough, ported that the zoos education officer, John Shields, had given him a statement saying that he was just trying to hoax a few friends on April Fools Day which happens to be Shields 23rd birthday. The joke was to dump a frozen bull elephant seal in Loch Ness for his seven monster-huntincolleagues to find, the g statement said. Take Monster to Town But it all got out of hand Friday when the team tried to rush their discovery back to the zoo on Englands northeast coast. Police chased their truck, stopped it and took the monster e to this County town for examination. And there, Saturday morning, two scientists from Edinburgh identified the creature as a big seal brought from the waters of the South Atlantic. Shields, in turn, disclosed that he got the idea for the hoax after hearing about a dead elephant seal brought back recently by an expedition to the Falkland Islands off Argentina, Robinson said. He gained possession of the body and kept it in the deep freeze at another English zoo. CM Friday morning, the eight-mateam from the Flamingo Park Zoo was having breakfast at a hotel beside Loch Ness, legendary home of the monster, about nine miles from Inverness. The team had been cooperating with the Loch Ness Phenomena Bureau in searching for proof that the monster n really exists. At S a.m. passers-bcalled the team's attention to a body floating about 300 yards offshore. The scientists put out in a boat.

Two U.S. destroyers were patrolling nearby. North Vietnamese PT boats, probably while pursuing the South Vietnamese, attacked the destroyers. Two PT boats were sunk. U.S. planes then bombed the PT boat bases. This was the first U.S. attack on North Vietnamese territory. These attacks became known as the Tonkin Gulf incidents which became a key basis for U.S. support for South Vietnam in the war.

Government defenders were driven from four more bases. The Saigon Command reporzed that the North Vietnamese also intensified attacks along the Cambodian border about 80 miles northwest of Saigon. More than 30 U.S. B52s, flying above clouds and using radar, dropped 800 tons of bombs on enemy troop concentrations and supply deots just south f the DMZ ad in the Central Highlands. Informants said more American warplanes were .waiting for clearer weather to begin massive air strikes over North Vietnam. O Observances continued throughout the day at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and other Jerusalem holy places, including the garden tomb where some Protestants believe the Resurrection took place. Officials said more than 20,000 visitors were in Jerusalem for the feast. Many took advantage of a brilliant spring day to stroll through Arab quarters with spread disruptions with the reopening of state offices Monday. They said workers would be called out at the Motor Vehicle Bureau, the Department of Social Services, the Law and Tax departments and other agencies.

Wil The slow and delicate process of moving the catamaran around the barge began Saturday afternoon. The catama s - ran was partially astride the barge when darkness forced engineers to case further efforts to move it.

He said crews would work tiirough the night to cut the corrier off the intruding barge. Starnes said the catamaran is attached to the chlorine barge, but added vesiel would have to that the tv be moved forward about another 30 feet before the cable slings can be secured for good. The catamaran was also secured to concrete pilings on shore and to the dam itself. Salvage operations were to rseume at 7 a.m. Sunday. Ihe evacuation from an area near the dam proceeded smoothly. More than 300 police and National Guardsmen patrolled a tight security ring around the perimeter of the evacuated area. The area was to remain evacuated until noon Sunday or until the chlorine barge is stabilized. When the barge is stabilized, the chlorine in its tanks will be pumped out into another barg?. |
