QUR SYMBOL OF HOPE
SYMBOL OF RESURRECTION
Easter is symbolic of the resurrected life in man
and comes at the time of the year when trees and
grass and flowers are inevidence in most parts of
the world.
It is a little early for the far north (except in
window boxes) but church attendances will be high
since Christians here, as elsewhere, will attend
church on Easter even if it is the only day of the
year.
Every Alaskan should take part in these Easter
services of public worship to show that Easter, after
nineteen centuries, is still celebrated as proof that
evil will never conquer good in the world, that man’s
soul is indestructible, and that death is the beginning,
not the end.
Christianity is being carried into every remote
part of Alaska by those who have dedicated their
lives to this service as well as by those who let their
lives be examples to their fellow men of real Chris
tianity.

Anti - Semitism
Claimed in Firing
Of Navy Employe
WASHINGTON, (ff)—A long
time employe of the Navy’s' Hyd
rographic Office said Thursday he
had been fired without explana
tion after being cleared by a
security hearing board. He ques
tioned whether anti-Semitism was
involved.
Abraham Chasanow, who start
ed in the office 23 years ago at
$1,440 a year and became a $8,360
distribution control officer, pro
tested that he has always been “a
firm belieVer in our Constitution
and our democratic and capitalist
system.”
Through Attorney Joseph A.
Fanelli, Chasanow asked recon
sideration of a decision dated
April 7. In asking the Navy that
the reasons for the decision be set
forth and that it be reconsidered
and reversed, Fanelli wrote:
“There are but five members of
the Jewish faith who are both
residents of Greenbelt and em
ployes of the Hydrographic Ofice.
There are at least eight members
of the Gentile faiths who are both
residents of Greenbelt and em
ployes of the Hydrographic Office.
“All five of the Jews have had
security difficulties with the Hy
drographic Office. All the Gen
tiles remain undisturbed. In the
absence of a statement of reasons
for the adverse decision of the
assistant secretary, it may well be
believed that the proceedings
which led to that decision were
tainted with anti-Semitism . . .”
Dulles Optimistic for
Success of Proposed
Southeast Asia Alliance
SYRACUSE, N.Y., (^—Secre
tary of State Dulles Thursday ex
pressed high optimism for the
success of the proposed 10-nation
alliance on Southeast Asia and
said he believed the Communists
would “renounce their extrava
gant ambitions” there.
Dulles, returning to the United
States after talks in London and
Paris on the Indochina struggle,
said unity of “the free nations
having vital interests in the area”
was “taking definite form.”
He said the Geneva Conference,
which begins April 26, “will be a
test” and will “advance the cause
of freedom in Southeast Asia . . .”
He said he “returned well-satis
fied with the result of my trip.”
Dulles termed the Indochina
War and the general situation in
Asia a “disaster.”
“This disaster would be com
pounded if Indochina were lost,”
Dulles said.
In Paris, American sources con
ceded formal negotiations for the
proposed alliance probably could
not get underway before the Gen
eva Conference on the Far East,
scheduled to open April 26.

ing Watson settled back in a chair

He was released from Denver
General Hospital after treatment
for hand burns.

Windshield Phenomenon
(Continued from Page 1)
istry department of the University
of Washington to assist author
ities seeking an answer to the
riddle. “There isn’t anything I
know of that could be causing
unusual breaks in windshields,”
he said after examining several
and residue found on the cars.
One thing is certain, the claims
of damaged windshields are
mounting into the thousands. And
one thing else appears certain,
nothing else seems to be suffer
ing. Not side windows; store or
house windows, eye glasses or
other things which would be ex
pected to react in the same way
as the front glass in an auto
mobile.
The description of the damage
varies from actual holes to pit
mark covering every known
shape. Chips, scratches, mars, pits,
holes, crumbling, blemishes,
blurs, blots and cracks. Some |
people even claim the damage had
happened right before their very
eyes.
