Churches bulged last Sunday morn- , 1 , ing for Easter services. For miliions of Americans Easter Sun day and Christmas are the only times. when they attend church. The motives for going to church on Easter Sunday were as varied as there I were people sitting in the pews. Some ^ wentTjOjbe seen, tn show off new hats and shoes ami dresses and suits. Some went < to observe wligt jtheir friends chose to ! wear oh Easter Sunday. • . ‘ I The bulk of people, we foeb attended; ; .with the deep sense of the occasion that % day eomnnmiorated. \Whether, consciously -<w unconsciously • this nation is a Christian nation dedicated to the-Ideals that doctrine teaches. The more fact that millions did 1 choose the ^ church t o r Easter morningr attendance i testifies to the underlying Christian foun dation of the United States. That foundation with all its ramifica tions throughout our government, our modes,of thinking, our daily lives gives a texture to (the American society that render$ it singular among the great na tions of the world." We have no state re ligion. We hgve no single predominating faith; We hive instead a faith in God with ipahy ficets, many interpretations for people to <jhoose. “ The presence of the multitudes of re ligious faiths; in this country does not necaasgrily signify that our people are deeply religious.

World Citizen Gary Davis returned to f his native United States March 30, 1950. For two,years Davis crusaded for world peacej preaching the vague philosophy of the abolition of war through the abolition of individual nations. His ideas found multitudes of followers. He staged pro test lie-down strikes against the United Nations. He became a familiar news paper personality. He was almost too hot for the Paris police to handle. Several times he was' arrested, always soon re- •j leased. “ To achieve world citizenship Davis re- nouncect his American citizenship. With out; the blessing of the American pass port, he found travel between countries nigh impossible. He returned to the Uni- , teck States with French traveling papers. "Even then he'was detained on Ellis Island for questioning, j y f In this! world where passports, visas, citizenships, and immigration restrictions are ptilf in effect/world citizenship for a traveling man Was an impossibility.

I would like to propose, strictly in the be half of posterity, that the Class of ’50 or any other organization on the campvis supply the library 'with new ash trays. I also suggest, that the number' be added to. j It will probably bring back mem ories to think of this situation. More than once I have seen a; sur prised face when a student Would pick up one of our present tirays, find that the, bottom portion stay ed where it was, that the ineck rolled halfway across the room, and that he, the student—well, he would be left holding the bag.

London, April 12—hT)—Moscow reported yesterday a U. S. bomber disappeared over the Baltic Sea after entering Russian territory and exchanging fire with a Soviet fighter last Saturday. That day an American Navy patrol plane vanished with 10. aboard. High defense officials in Wash ington indicated they believed the Navy plane, unarmed, is the air craft to which the Russians refer red. A four-engined Privateer, it dropped out of sight after leaving Weisbaden, Germany, on a round trip flight to Denmark. Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Y. Vishinsky protested that a U. S. bomber of the super-fortress type flew* over Latvia that day and opened fire on a group of Soviet fighters that went up and ordered it to land. Vishinsky said one fight er returned the fire, "after which the American plane turned towards the *ea and disappeared." The defense department in Wn*hington Issued Htatement* by Gen, Hoyt S.v Vanoenberg, stating that no Air Force plana wa#i In volved, and by Adm, Forrest P. Sherman, chief of naval opsi wtion*, stating the mlsslbg navy plane ear. rled no gunt and was under stand ing order* to stay well clear of Russian territory. > Sherman said the patrol plains therefore, "pouM not have fired on any other aircraft or returned the flre itf any aircraft."
