JENKINS i Two brothers drowned in the backwaters near Fish Lake between Bufkley and Columbus today when their small boat overturned and sank. Dead are Roy Thomas Massey, 20, of Arlington, and Jake William Massey, 26, formerly of Ar lington and recently of St. Louis. One of the brothers, believed to be Roy, nearly reached the safety of a tree, but turned and swam back in answer to screams for help by the other, according to a witness. Phillip Jones, about 11, and a brother-in-law of J.

W. Massey, could only watch from the shore as the two died. He had been riding in the boat, but just be fore the accident got out of the small craft and waited on shore as the brothers took one more ride across the water. Watch Still Running Young Phillip immediately ran about a mile and a half to nearby Burkley for help. The accident occurred at about 11:30 a.m.

One of the victim's watch stopped running at 11:40 a.m., and the other's watch was still running when the bodies were found. Paducah's water rescue squad. Civil Defense, went to the scene to drag for the victims. The squad found the body of Roy Massey at 3:15 p.m. and seven minutes later found J.

W. Massey's body. The bodies were in about 10 feet of water. The boat has not been located. Deena Employe Roy Massey was employed at the Deena Lamp Co.

in Arlington and was a member of the Arlington Baptist Church. Jake Massey worked at a chemical plant in St. Louis and was a mem ber of the Zion Methodist Church here. Members of the family satf J. W.

Massey had bought a new motor in St. Louis and while visit ing relatives here decided to try it out on the small boat owned by his father-in-law, Roy Jones of Clinton Rt. 3. It is believed the boat probably was too small for the motor, and that the pair apparently tried to turn too fast, causing the boat to overturn and sink. Carlisle County Coroner B.

J. Milner ruled both men died ac cidentally by drowning, and said there would be no inquest. Parents Survive Both men are survived by their oarenis, Mr. and Mrs. Search Massey of Columbus; two sisters, Mrs.

Carolyn Jones Massey of St. Louis, and one son, Michael Massey of St. Louis. Funeral arrangements are incomplete. Friends may call at the Jack- son-Milner Funeral Home in Arlington after 2 p.m.

Sunday. By CHARLES L. WEST Associated Press Staff Writer "He is risen." In song and prayer, the words spoken 20 centuries ago echoed around the world Sunday in Christian celebration of the Resurrection. The bells of Rome's 500 Churches, muffled until midnight, rang out the glory of Easter. In silence, too, the faith was kept.

A Joy of color lent emphasis to the white lily symbol of the day. Gaily decorated eggs, bunnies and chicks filled children baskets. Finery awaited the Easter parades. For most of the United States. the Weather Bureau forecast a sunny and mild day, except for a band of showers across the middle of the nation and some rain on the northeast coast.

Penetrates Iron Curtain Easter penetrated the Iron Cur tain, carrying its hope of life everlasting into Orthodox and Baptist churches in Moscow. The commemoration of Christ's sacrifice on the Cross brought thousands of pilgrims to Jerusalem, tens of thousands of visitors to the Vatican in Rome and millions of the faithful to special services throughout the world. On mountain tops, in valleys, beside lakes, in city stadiums, the rising sun found worshipers gath ered in prayerful thanksgiving. The Easter message of Pope John XXIII, Roman Catholic pontiff, repeated the words of Christ risen: "Peace be to you." Pope John invoked Heaven's blessing "to all men without ex ception." Observance For Deaf In the First Baptist church of Frankfort, about 150 deaf persons, many of them also mute, neared the end of a wordless three-day vigil. Flying fingers spelled out in the sign language of the afflicted the message of Christ life.

Congregations of nine Harlem Protestant churches planned to parade with Lenten hymns through New York's tenement districts, falling silent in the approach to a simulated empty tomb in Jefferson Park in re-enactment of the visit of the disciples to His tomb on the first Easter. In the Wichita Mountains near Lawton, the annual 4'4- hour pageant of the life of Christ was timed to end with the rising sun. A cast of 1,000 has presented the story annually since 1926. Hollywood Bowl a.m. program featured actor Charlton Heston and actress Mary Pick ford reading religious poems against a backdrop of 75,000 calla lillies.

'Bunny's Fires' Citizens of Fredericksburg, planned to light fires on sur rounding lulls Easter eve, a cus tom resulting from the pioneers' first year in the settlement. In dian camphres surrounded the town then and the settlers calmed their children by telling them it was the Easter bunny building fires to boil dye for Easter eggs. Coupling Easter observance to a plea for global peace, Quakers stood silent and motionless in New York's Times Square. The demonstration began Good Friday and was to last through Sunday morning. Shortly after noon Saturday, a five-block-Iong line of "peace walkers, three abreast, filed through Times Square, nearing the end of a march to the United Nations with signs pleading for peace.

'Vicious Trick' 'Everytlii unsr Collapsing Says Salan By HARVEY HUDSON PARIS had to hap pen. "Everything was collapsing around us. That was the way former Gen. Raoul Salan resigned, tired, and seemingly without hope described his position to police interrogators at Sante Prison Saturday. Bemedaled Salan, former supreme French military commander in Algeria, was arrested Friday in Algiers.

For the past year he had been in underground revolt against the Algerian policies of President Charles de Gaulle. Reaction to his capture caused new bloodshed in Algeria. A year ago Sunday Salan and three other generals touched off a short-lived putsch, seizing power in Algiers. When his insurrec tion collapsed under the weight of De Gaulle's prestige, Salan and Gen. Edmond Jouhaud went into hiding.

They formed the underground Secret Army Organization (OAS) which rallied European settlers for a last-ditch terrorist campaign against Algerian inde- pendence. gapped of Rank salan and Jouhaud were stripped of rank as generals at the time of the nutsch. Jouhaud was captured in Oran March 25 and has been sentenced to death. The same fate probably awaits Salan and he seemed to know it when he arrived at the prison gates Friday night.

Here, she displays the finery against a backdrop of her church, Westminster Presbyterian. Her parents are Dr. Howard Wilshire and of 520 Jameswood Drive.

Ruth is seven and minus a couple of important teeth. The diminutive president im- posed a truce while insurgent armor stormed into the outskirts of Buenos Aires and probed machine gun and artillery emplacements of army commander Gen. Raul Pog-gi in the heart of the capital. The crisis, the nearest Argentina has come to serious bloodletting since dictator Juan D. Pe-ron was routed seven years ago, burgeoned when cavalry Gen.

Enrique Rauch launched unexpectedly an insurrection against the army high command Friday night from Camp de Mayo, Argentina's most important military camp, 30 miles outside the capital. The insurrection snowballed and surprised Poggi, key leader in deposing and imprisoning President Arturo Frondizi on March 29. Guido is Frondizi's military-picked successor. All morning it seemed blood would be spilled on the issue of whether Peronists, who won in the March 18 elections, would be barred from office by Gido's dictatorial decree, as the high command demanded, or by legal processes sanctioned by Congress, as the insurgents insisted. Dramatic Conference The upshot-was a dramatic summit conference of Argentina's generals and admirals behind the heavily guarded gates of Guido's suburban residence.

Rauch, 48, commander of the cavalry corps at Camp de Mayo, came out smiling and declared himself satisfied with a truce formula proposed by Guido himself. Poggi sourly waved to newsmen and refused to talk. As events unfolded it seemed clear Guido had triumphed. The main development suggest ing this was, when Guido's office announced the appointment of Gen.

April 21 -I County Judge Eulen Ramage charged in a public statement Saturday that the April grand jury of Livingston Circuit Court acted unwisely and hastily in the issuance of its critical final report. "I have no quarrel with the jurors. I think they just didn't know.

NEW YORK (AP) A Negro family of 10 arrived here by bus from New Orleans Saturday on one-way tickets paid for by a Southern segregationist group. The action by the Citizens Council of New Orleans raised a storm of criticism from welfare and equal rights spokesmen here. They said the family was used cruelly as a pawn. But the father of the family, Louis Boyd, 41, an unemployed longshoreman, said he was glad to be here.
