It would be Americans observ- ing Easter. He would see throngs of people gathered on hillsides, lighted | crosses, long processions winding through parks and city streets, great mosaics of flowers, huge stadiums with upturned thousands of faces, companies of horsemen, and bonfires on the mountains. He would hear bands throbbing, the many-throated chanting of prayers, the sturdy tones of organs, the massed voices of great | choirs, and the blast of trombones in the. woods. He would see children scamper- ing on lawns filling Baskets with bright, colored eggs, and red plumes on ladies’ hats, and men in new, dark suits with carnations in their lapels, swinging along. For this is how it will be to- morrow, on Easter morning—a montage of festival and worship, of display and devotion—across the map of the country.

Alone at his side was his third wife, former Madame Elena (Mag- da) Lupescu—the red-haired beau- ty who was his companion for 23 years before becoming his wife. A doctor, called from his home | next door, and Curol’s secretary arrived at his deathbed too late, it was reported, The former ruler of now Com- munist- controlled Romania had complained recently of heart trou- ble. He made his last public ap- pearance this week at memorial services in St. George Church here for Britain's Queen Grandmother Mary. The Jong romance between the handsome playboy King and Madame Lupescu, daughter of an army officer, began in the mid- 1920s, when he still was crown prince. Her court influence later won her the title of the uncrowned queen of Romania, Twice she fol- lowed him into exile. The match, complicated by di- vorces, finally became a marriage in 1947. They wed in Rio de Janei- ro under a Brazilian law that a person near deathe may be mar- ried under any circumstances. It VOL.

The first glad note was struck today by St. Peter's giant “Cam- panone” or master bell. It bonged as a Papal mass came to an end at the Basilica’s Altar of the Chair and the choir lifted its voice in the Gloria—glory to God. Then, one by one, the other bells of St, Peter’s and those of Rome’s other nearly 500 churches joined in the glad medley. i At the same time, priests, robed | in lacy cassocks and accompanied | by altar boys who carried pots of holy water, began their annual pilgrimage through the streets of Rome to bless homes and business ; establishments. As he has on vast Easters, Pope Pius will appear tomorrow at the central loggia of the Basilica to address thousands of Romans, pil- grims and tourists. His address will be broadcast by Vatican radio in 25 languages. It will be conclud- ed with his blessing “‘urbi et orbi’’ to the city and the world. An outdoor mass will be cele- brated on the broad stone ramp in | front of St. Peter’s center door. In- | side the Basilica a pontifical mass } Will be celebrated by Federico Car- |sunrise program, directed by| jin stadiums—the Hollywood Bowl No. 81 singing as sunlight breaks behind | it over the water.

Secretary of State Dulles told a news conference yesterday that nothing so far and nothing likely in the Red peace offensive has changed the basic situation of the Soviet’s aggressive threat. j He pictured Kremlin policy as essentially unaltered and “deeply hostile.” He said Rusia peace overtures actually are responses, at least in part, to the “ policies” of the administration in both Asia and Europe.
