TOE ARGUS Sunday, April 18,1976 Fremont Newark, Calif. Page 3 Bells Easter message Hard work pays off These two youngsters just can't wait to try out the play apparatuses at Rancho Arroyo Neighborhood Park on Monterito Drive in Fremont, which was dedicated yesterday. Great efforts by local residents aided the city in making the park, planned since 1972, a reality. The 4.35-acre park includes turf with an automatic irrigation system, trees and a children's play area. VATICAN CITY (UP1) The belli of St.

'Peter's Basilica rang out last night to proclaim the joyous Easter message of Christ's resurection. Pope Paul VI led the world's Roman Catho- lies in a dramatic Easter Eve vigil ending in the first Mas and the first bellringing since Good Friday, the day the church believes Jesus died on the Cross. St. Peter's bells tolled at It p.m. (2 p.m.

PSTl. one hour before the bells of Rome's MO churches echoed their peal. The Pope traditionally celebrates the Mass earlier because he must arise early for Easter Sunday services. The 78-year-old Pope, moving stiffly because of a painful arthritic condition of the bees, lit a large paschal candle symbolizing Christ as the light of the world at the start of the ceremony in the darkened basilica. As part of the ritual the Pope baptized four new Catholics a Brooklyn-bom fashion designer, two South Koreans and an African carpenter's apprentice.

The Pope interrupted the rite for a brief impromptu address, telling the four their baptism carried the "promise" of joy and security. "We hare to give testimony to the world that we are happy even if life Is not as sanctified as this, as comforting as this." he said. "The sun of God floats on this turbulent sea --id land." The Pope warned the new Catholics they must live a life that was "not acquiescent, not compromised, not the fashion that the century almost on living. No hospital release date for Patty SAN FRANCISCO lUUPIi Patricia Hearst, emaciated by malnutrition and under heavy guard, was kept yesterday in suburban Sequoia Hospital on a high protein diet and no date for her discharge was in sight. Dr.

John Prendergasl. a staff internist, said Miss Hearst was now resting and eating well and her condition was stable, but he did not know when she can be taken to the federal correctional eerier in San Diego. Custody of Miss Hearst was transferred from the San Mateo County sheriff to the UJ5 Marshal's office in San Francisco. The Mass escape attempt thwarted SALTILLO, Mtilca (UPI) A mass itcapt attempt by 75 condemned murderer! who tunneled their way from their ro adjoining court offices was frustrated yesterday by armed guards and police, unofficial reports said Shot! were heard outside the prison but officials refused to say there were any casualties among the police, guards or prisoners. The inmates, serving sentences of 10 to IS ytdf and ai nicu with Imm made weapons, were within 20 feet of freedom when they were stopped, the reports saUL Slate police director Alfonso Garcia Salinas wai quoted as saying several prisoners confessed the outbreak had been planned for sis months to take place on Easter weekend when security in the prison is at a minimum.

marshals ordered a matron to be with the heiress at all times, and installed "anti- intrusion devices" on all window and doors of her second-story hospital floor. Miss Hearst's collapsed right lung improved to permit removal Friday of a vacuum tube from her chest. Air leakage had ceased, but an air-Tilled blister, or bleb, remained on the lung and required watching. Since Miss Hearst's arrest and confinement last September in the San Mateo County jail, she has lost 15 pounds, dropping to 90. Doctors gave her a variety of tests to find Easter campaigning out why.

They suspected the 22-year-old patient may hare a liver malfunction Meanwhile, numerous Symbionese Liberation Army associates were wondering what Miss llearst told the FBI earlier this week, just before the lung collapse. It was known she- cooperated in preparing kidnaping charges against William and Emily Harris, named persons who bombed police cars in Marin County and gave details about a Sacramento bank robbery. According to sources. Miss Hearst said Wendy Yoshimura. her roommate at the time of her arrest, was the driver of a getaway car in the Sacramento robbery, an event in which a customer was killed.

Attorneys for Steven Soliah. Miss Hearst's former lover now on trial for the robbery, said the- will attempt to subpoena her as a witness to tell what she told investigators about Soliah. Miss Hearst is believed to be 'telling all" to federal authorities in hope of winning a light sentence from VS. District Judge Oliver J. Carter en her bank robbery conviction.

Carter has given, her a tentative 35-year sentence which he will modify after a 90-day psychiatric study in San Diego. Udall blames Ford for Wban crisis' IMtri Fran MOTMiml Blaming the Ford administration for "an urban crisis situation," Morris Udall campaigned through an Easter weekend heatwave yesterday while his main Democratic rivals took a holiday and won key endorsements. Udall had the campaign stage just about to himself, walking the broiling hot pavements of Philadelphia's black ghetto and white ethnic neighborhoods and stumping for votes in Pennsylvania's April 27 primary. Greeting Easter shoppers at shopping centers, Udall said the administration is responsible for "an urban crisis situation that is reflected nationwide in high unemployment, inflation, high interest rates, high medical rates, poor housing and cutbacks in essential services. "Life can and must be restored to our nation's cities even if it takes a program of emergency aid to do it." Udall, riding the Philadelphia subway, called for a rational commitment to a balanced transportation system" in place of Ford's "haphazard" transportation policies.

Most other presidential candidates in both parties took the holiday weekend off. but leading Democrats Jimmy Carter and Sen. Henry Jackson picked up endorsements nonetheless. Jackson's came in Florida, where Gov. Reubin Askew abandoned his neutral position and announced in Tallahassee he is endorsing the Washington Senator's candidacy and has Died as a Jackson delegate to the Democratic National Convention.

Carter got the support of Kentucky's Gov. Julian Carroll Friday during a brief stopover en route to his Georgia home for the weekend. He said he had made no promises in return for Carroll's endorsement, which could boost his chances of winning most of the convention delegates in Kentucky's May 25 primary. In Houston, former Texas Gov. John Connally denied a newspaper report he made a deal to endorse Ford in return for eventual nomination as secretary of state.

"It is totally untrue." Connally said of a Los Angeles Times report that quoted "sources dose to Connally." "I want to say this story is a speculative rumor that's the product of a distorted imagination. These so-called 'sources close to Connally' dont exist." He said he will endorse neither Ford nor Ronald Reagan, sho appears to have a chance of beating Ford in the May I Texas primary, before the nominating convention. Ford was spending the holiday weekend on the golf course and at the presidential retreat in Camp David. Reagan also took the weekend off. In Grand Junction, Sen.

Frank Church, a contender for the Democratic nomination, said Ford's energy conservation policies are "empty rhetoric." "Why is it we can spend billions to bring back rocks from the moon but we cannot mount an adequate program to develop environmentally sound new ways to heat our homes and run our factories?" "A Christian cannot be sad. A Christian cannot be weak." he said. "Remember that ve must be strong In faith and we must give testimony to what we know, to what we have promised in baptism." The Easter Eve vigil marked the end of the 4May mourning period of Lent. Purple drapes were removed from the crucifixes and pictures to reveal the gilt and many-colored marble splendor of St. Peter's.

The ceremony, rich in symbolism, was divided into the liturgies of the light, of the word and of baptism and holy communion. According to tradition, it starts with the white-robed Hope lighting the tall pascal candle on the portico outside the darkened church. He inserts five grains of incense to commemorate Jesus' wounds. As the papal procession then moves down the main aisle of the church, the flame is passed from candle to candle among the 30.000 worshippers. "Lumen Christi" (light of Christ), Cardinal Pericle Felici proclaims three times.

"Dio grarie" (Thanks be to God), the congregation replies. Having blessed the fire, the Pope blesses water with which he baptizes four "Catechumens." those desiring to join the church, and plunges his candle into it. The-ftpe leads the congregation in renewing their baptismal vows, renouncing evil and accepting Jesus as they relight their candles. The service culminates with the Pope celebrating Mass for the first time since Thursday. Mass is not said during the period Roman Catholics believe Jesus was dead and descended into Hell.

Chicken lays colored eggs for Easter PORTLAND, Conn. (UPIi A chicken which lays green eggs has saved the Leo Cruz family the bother of dyeing eggs for the Easter holiday. There are 29 normal chickens in the Crui coops. But there is one strange hen. She has not been laying green eggs very long, according to Gladys Cruz.

17. "It started about two weeks ago." she said Saturday. The llth grader and her 22-year-old brother Frank are the only children of II still living at home. She was asked if the green eggs were a surprise. Her response was a drawn-out, "yeah." "When it first laid the tgreeni egg, we thought it was just another joke, that somebody had put it there.

But then it kepi happening." The discovery' of the strange truth came from Santa Cruz. Gladys' mother. She was "watching one morning and we found out which hen was laying them." The egg color is not consistent. Gladys said. "Sometimes they will be dark green, sometimes tight green.

"I guess we dont have to (color the eggsi now." she said. "We've got them green." The whole family has been eating the eggs regularly and "nothing's happened to us yet." said the Cruz. The fowl is probably an "Aracona," a rare species, according to Crof. William A. Aho.

of University of Connecticut's Animal Sciences Department. Last year, one study showed Arcona eggs were lower in cholesterol, which sent people flocking to buy them More recent studies at the University of California showed the eggs did not differ significantly from regular eggs More women take to the pulpit as ministers Continued Iran pjqe 1 and pursue it. But there are so many obstacles for a wtiman minister, she feels, that generally she would discourage women from seeking to become ministers. "Not every congregation would consider me qualified, because I'm a woman, it's sad to say. And my problem has been getting into churches.

Even in our denomination, it's not easy to move. "Another problem is that I'm single. This is a couple's world. Being single also puts you into a minority. In some way's it's more of a problem than being a wtiman." The Rev.

Sally Smith, co-minister at the Niles Congregational Church of the United Church of Christ, doesnt face the problems of the single woman minister. Her husband. Walter, is co-minister of her church "It is true, there are two groups, male and female, in the congregation. But they're going to find it easy to relate to one of us. "I dont know of any other team ministry right now in this area.

But I can offer a prediction, that co-ministry is going to happen more and more. First of all. there are more women in the seminaries now than ever before. And many of them will want to get married, and share their jobs, so that they'll have time to do other things." The Rev. Mrs Smith.

15. says there are so many night meetings, so many demands upon the time of a minister, that she and her husband would hardly ever see each other if they didn't work in the same parish. "Another factor in the growth of the number of female ministers is the fact that the role of the minister's wife is being rebelled against more and more. You know, the minister's wife has traditionally supposed to have been the model of devotion, who is occasionally called upon to help cook fcr the pntluck dinner. "Sometimes I do feel like a pioneer." The average person, she says, thinks of the minister as an authoritarian figure.

Female ministers are altering that idea, she believes, into the notion that the minister is a resource that can help people come to a deeper understanding of God. rather than a person who is going to tell them what to do. "Women like that part of the ministry -enabling people to do things rather than the male concept of the minister, which is sometimes more authoritarian Another minister who has no use for the idea of women's liberation is the Rev. Faye Cordeiro of Newark. "If I were any more liberated." she says.

"I'd work myself to death." Retired from the ministry since an illness forced her to resign as pastor of the Rose of Sharon Chapel last August, the Rev. Mrs. Cordeiro says. "I think women should be Sweden's king makes a quick trip UNDSBORG, Kan. (UPI) Delayed by plane troubles and bothered by hoarseness.

Sweden's King Carl XVI Gustaf yesterday paid a taobour whirlwind visit to this tiny Swedish scttemcnt which had planed two yean for his arrival. The youK monarch's trip to the central Kansas town of 2,600 was shortened by two hours because of fuel and bad weather to Dower, but no one seemed upset at the unforeseen problems. -1 think considering the delay it went very wtU said Irva Brandt, coehairman of the Ucentorial committee who helped plan the vbit. "I was amazed at how patient everyone ma." Thousands of persons crowded the tiny downtown to wait for the king-i motorcade to pass. Some residents were dressed in native SonSnivUn costumes and many waved small American and Swtdoh flags.

-I little disappointed the speed of the motorcade," said Larry Shotti of Blair, Neb. "But it was worthwhile. I thought the king was a very distinguished young man bt I fed sorry for him. He scar: terribly rushed." The 29-year-old king stopped briefly at a nursing home to visit some the first sutlers of the community, which has carefully preserved its Swcdbh heritage for 108 years. Ifc then dedicated the Pavilion from the ISM St Louis world's fair.

He cut short his remarks at the dedication because of hoarseness, explaining, "My voice almost gone." "It my sincere wish that the Swedish Pavilion be dedicated to the (rienkhip of our two he told a crowd of about 5,000 at the ceremony. Carl Gustaf, dressed conservatively in a gray flamd suit and blue striped shut, ate a quick lunch at Bethany College. "I welcome you to the Plains where wt grow i lot of wheat," Gov. Robert Bennett said -We would Indeed be very pleased to sdl your nation all you want to buy." The king, who will many a German commoner in June, then received several gifts trttn the crty, including a T-shirt emUaznned with Betha.Ty* the "Terrible Swedes." Carl Gustaf took a five-minute walking tour of the college campus. Hundreds of persons ran by his side, although the young king did not speak.

"No one was upset because he was late," said Luam Witt, 22, a student at Bethany. "A few of the students were a little inconvenienced, though, because they til had to move their can from the parking lot." He left for a short visit at Rockford, Ill, before going on to Chicago, where he spend Easter. Bearer Perrill, 72, Bridgtpart, laid. "1 didn't get a glimpse. I've only been hne all day.

But I'm not disappointed. I'm still enjoying his vbit." The Ung arrived in nearby Salina on a chartered flight from Denver at 1 late because of a leaking fuel truck and weather v.hich forced a deicing of the craft Ixcal officials and those connected with the king's tour of the United Slates frantically rearranged the scheduled to include as many of the planned ceremonies as possible. The crowd waiting at the airport dwindled to abuut 30 tutoring announcement of the delay, but msry returned after lunch. Said one couple, "We're just going to go home and get some lunch and then come back." Others were determined not to miss the arrival. "We came to see the king and we're not going home until we see him," said one man.

"It's a big disappointment that he's late, but it cant beWptd." Said another, he doesn't get here until o'clock, we'll still be here. We've made up our minds and we'll be treated fairly, but there are many people who wont sit under a woman's ministry. They say that no woman is going to tell them what to do." Now 61. the Rev. Mrs Cordeiro concedes that she has found some resentment of the fart that she is a woman during her 33 years as a minister.

But. she says, you have to understand that this is the case before you go out as a woman minister to face it Asked if she would encourage women to go into the ministry, the Rev. Mrs Cordeiro says. "It's a heartbreaking job. 1 always tell them that if there's anything else they can do.

go ahead and do it. Dont kid yourself It's hard for a man. and doubly hard for a woman to be a minister." Backup of barges eased ALTON, III.
