IOOOOOOOOOBO 0 OOODOOOOO0 0 0 Easter Hopes By WILLIAM L. RYAN AP Special Correspondent In this Easter season, symbolizing to much of the world a rebirth of hope, the Holy Land situation begins again to look scary. Until recently there'd been reason for guarded optimism that the October war had, at last, pushed the combatants in the direction of settlement, though the diplomatic process seemed agonizingly slow. Now the cumulative effect of recent developments can severely retard if not actually halt the process.

These developments include: the murderous Arab terror raid on Israel's Qiryat Shmonah, followed by retaliation and prospects of escalation; refusal of the Syrian front to quiet down; a suggestion that the Soviet Union is far from eager to see U.S. Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger succeed in efforts toward a Syrian-Israeli military disengagement, and the current Israeli cabinet crisis, generating worry about diplomatic paralysis. Progress to date on the Israeli- Egyptian front may also be endangered, despite Egypt's evident hopes for a period of stability in which to attend to domestic affairs. Clearly all the developments have Cairo worried and the signs of nervousness come through in comments of press people close to the government.

Even without all the other complications, Moscow's attitude would.be enough to occasion concern over hopes for progress. Although Communist party chief Leonid I. Brezhnev still evidently wants easier Soviet-American relations, he is actually churning up new Middle East tension. His pique is showing because Kissinger dominated peace-seeking efforts, perhaps at the expense of dearly purchased Soviet influence among the Arabs. Soviet words and actions make it difficult to avoid the conclusion that Brezhnev would sabotage Kissinger's efforts in an attempt to move the action to an unwieldy Geneva conference, The aim: to make the Kremlin much more Two Special Community Events Easter Two community wide special Easter religious observances are scheduled in DuBois Sunday morning and evening.

The Easter Sunrise Service is set for 6:30 a.m. at the DuBois Country Club parking lot overlooking the nearby lake. An Easter Cantata by the DuBois Community Christian Choir will be presented Sunday evening at 7:30 in the First United Presbyterian Church. visible in Middle East deliberations. The Kremlin has just had President Hafez Assad of Syria as a guest again See EASTER, Page 2 Pope Makes Way Of Cross Pilgrimage By JULIE FLINT Associated Press Writer Pope Paul VI set today aside to rest as he prepared to celebrate Easter services Sunday at St.

Peter's Basilica and to give his annual "Urbi and Orbi" blessing to Rome and the world. On Friday the 76-year-old pontiff braved a chilly, windy evening as he made his annual Way of the Cross pilgrimage on Rome's Palatine Hill. Pope Paul had been advised by doctors to cut back his Holy Week schedule following two recent bouts with influenza, but he insisted on taking part in the hour-long outdoor ceremony. However, he passed up traditional Good Friday services in St. Peter's and Vatican officials said he will not attend the Easter vigil mass tonight.

The pope, dressed only in red robes of mourning, watched the procession for the first nine of the 14 Stations of the Cross. Then he took up the six-foot cross of light wood and carried it for 15 minutes. Applauding and shouting "Viva II Papa," thousands lined the barricades for a glimpse of the spiritual leader of the Roman Catholic Church. Pope Paul looked fit though at times his voice was weak as he urged Catholics in a 10-minute address not to forget "the abject, the deformed, the weeping and the unhappy." The Western Christian celebration of Easter coincides this year with Eastern rites, and Ecumenical Patriarch Demetrios the spiritual leader of 250 million Eastern Orthodox Christians, urged the unity to become permanent. In an Easter encyclical, the patriarch called for a pan-Christian agreement setting a single date for the holy day to signify that "our resurrected common Lord is one, that His body the church is one, and that Christian Easter is one." The Patriarch of Constantinople Istanbul also called for continued Israeli supervision of the Christian holy places in Jerusalem, keeping them open to persons of all faith.

In Jerusalem, a heavier than normal Israeli guard was posted out of fear of Arab guerrilla action as thousands of Christian pilgrims took up wooden crosses, re-enacting Christ's walk to his crucifixion. DuBois Youth Fatally Injured As Cycle Hits Auto, Pole And House Pittsburgh Youth Dies In Camp Fire BELLTOWN--A 17-year-old Pittsburgh boy, visiting in Elk County for the first day of the trout fishing season, was burned to death early this morning when the camp in which he was staying burned to the ground. Wayne Nath and four other companions from Pittsburgh came to the camp Friday, which was owned by Joseph Tavormimi of Pittsburgh, for the first day of the trout fishing season. At 3:30 this morning two of the youths were filling a Coleman lantern with white gas. In some manner, the gas spilled and ignited the cabin, Ridgway State Police said.

During the resulting blaze, young Nath was burned to death, police said. The other four youths escaped the camp, located along Township Route 304, a mile north of here, in Millstone Township, Elk County, and were not injured. The fire is still under investigation, police said. Mahaffey Man In Critical Condition LAJOSE A Mahaffey man is in critical condition today at Clearfield Hospital following a two-car crash shortly after noon Friday on Route 36 here. A southbound sedan driven by Paul A.

Astalos, North Tonawanda, N. slowed down to make a left turn into a private drive, Punxsutawney State Police said. When the car was part way in the drive, with the rear of the car in the northbound lane, it was struck in the rear by a sedan driven by Royden Pennington, Mahaffey, traveling south, police said. The force of the impact spun the Astalos auto part way around, police added. Following the impact, the Pennington car ran off the road, struck eight fence posts on the Cecil Kurd property here, and sheared off a utility pole before stopping.

Astalos was not injured. Damage to the autos was listed at $1300. Damage to the pole was set at $100. Another Mahaffey man, John E. Montgomery, escaped injury Friday night when his auto crashed into two parked cars on Route 336 in Rossiter.

Police said the Montgomery car was traveling south and hit parked cars owned by Beverly Y. Scott, Punxsutawney, and Ronald Guidash, Rossiter. Total damage was listed at $935. Explosion Rocks Buildings In Reynoldsville PRESCOTTVILLE An explosion in a strip mine job near here Friday afternoon rocked many buildings and damaged others in the Worth St. area of Reynoldsville, it was reported today.

Borough officials said some windows were knocked out in some homes while other home owners reported chimneys were knocked loose. A spokesman for the strip mining operation stated there was too much powder in one of the charges being used in blasting operations at the site. No injuries were reported. American Official Improving CORDOBA, Argentina (AP) American official Alfred Albert Laun III, who was seriously wounded and held for 15 hours Friday by Marxist guerrillas, was reported improving today after 2Vz hours of emergency surgery. The U.S.

Information Service official was rushed to a hospital after the guerrillas called newspapers and said Laun was lying near the River Primero in midtown Cordoba. Reporters found him with a bullet wound in his stomach and badly beaten about the head. Hospital sources said the damage done by the bullet had been repaired, but the doctors' main worry now was the possibility of infection because of the many hours Laun lay wounded without medical attention. Israeli Army Retaliates For Massacre By JON. THAN BRODER Associated Press Writer TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) Israeli army units blew up 20 houses in six villages in southern Lebanon on Friday and captured about 10 suspected terrorists in retaliation for the Arab terrorist massacre at Qiryat Shmonah, the military command announced today.

In Beirut, Lebanese defense minister Nasri Maalouf said a woman and her 10- year-old daughter were killed in the raid. Their bodies were found in the rubble of a demolished house, police said. Defense Minister Moshe Dayan said the raid was a "political action" to warn the Lebanese government. He said the Israeli raiders cleared all Arab residents out of the houses before blowing them up, and if two civilians were killed "it was by accident." In the stiffest warning he has ever issued to Lebanon, Dayan said: "If the Lebanese government allows terrorist headquarters to enjoy their freedom and conveniences in Beirut and at night they cross the border into Israel, I think that eventually a good part of Lebanon will be destroyed and deserted." A Lebanese communique said that 13 civilians were seized and 24 houses and a power station were blown up. Beirut press reports said villagers were told the 13 men would be held hostage in exchange for the return of two Israeli pilots captured after bailing out over Lebanon on Monday while returning from the Syrian front.

The Israeli command said the strike force evacuated and blew up 20 houses allegedly belonging to guerrilla sympathizers, and returned safely before midnight after a three-hour operation. An Israeli military correspondent who accompanied the raiders said the villagers showed no signs of fear, and "some even cooperated with the Israelis." He quoted one of the Israeli commanders as saying: "Everything went smoothly, proving it possible to deal blows at the terrorists and their collaborators without harming innocent civilians." Hearst Worried About Rescue Attempt By FBI LA PAZ, Mexico (AP) Randolph A. Hearst says he is worried that his kidnaped daughter Patricia could get killed during a rescue attempt by the FBI. "I know I cannot control the FBI, but I certainly hope that even if they know where Patty is they will not go in with guns blazing and get my daughter killed," he said in an interview here Friday. But Hearst added that he and the FBI have reached agreement that any police action which might endanger Patricia would be avoided.

"Our absence from the United States should not be construed by the FBI as an excuse to do anything which would endanger the life or well being of Patty," said the president and editor of the. San Francisco Examiner. Miss Hearst, 20, was dragged screaming by kidnapers from her Berkeley, apartment on Feb. 4. Two months later, after her parents had organized a massive food giveaway in response to.

the kidnapers' demands, Patricia said in a taped message that she had joined the Symbionese Liberation Army which abducted her. The Hearsts have said they believe the tape recording was made under duress. Authorities believe the SLA is a heavily armed, multiracial group of about 25 persons. Atty. Gen.

William B. Saxbe indicated Will Modernize Johnstown Plant BETHLEHEM, Pa. (AP) Bethlehem Steel Co. said today it will spend $4 million dollars in a modernization program at its Johnstown, plant. A spokesman said the money will go into two facilities Bethlehem had planned to continue operating at Johnstown and does not affect planned layoffs there.

He said $350,000 will be spent in refurbishing a press in the wheel shop where railroad car wheels are turned out. The remaining $3.6 million is for pollution control equipment on a ferro manganese burner, he said. This will clean gases generated during this process. in Washington last Tuesday that the FBI might have "more freedom to operate" because now "the family is not thinking she is going to be returned from day to day and doesn't think the ransom will be adequate to win her freedom. "Now that the lid is off, I think we're going to see some results," Saxbe told newsmen.

He added, however, that the FBI "was doing everything to cooperate with the family." The Hearsts and two of their daughters have been staying at a resort on the southern tip of Baja California 19 miles south.of La Paz since last Sunday in an effort, they say, to get away from the pressures of the kidnaping ordeal. Hearst, who appeared in good spirits and tanned, said he most likely will return to San Francisco on Tuesday. "We came here to recharge our batteries and refuel our mental energies to await the next explicit and exotic torture the SLA might dish out," he said. Hearst said he was not aware of any plan to fly the SLA kidnapers from the United States in exchange for his daughter's safety. The girl's fiance, Steven Weed, had said in Sari Francisco on Thursday he was working on such a plan, "Perhaps Steve is trying to set up something on his own," Hearst said.

"However, I would even fly them out myself That would serve them right because I haven't flown a plane in the last five years."
