THE DERRICK Pa. Saturday, March Fulbright Proposes Joint U. S. Soviet Canal Operation UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. (AP) Sen.

J.W. Fulbright, proposes joint U.S.-Soviet ventures in operation of a Central American canal and in aid to underdeveloped countries as steps toward reducing world tensions. Fulbright, Arkansas Democrat who heads the Senate Foreign Relations committee, said that in a divided world there is "little promise and considerable risk" in trying to force settlement of such emotional issues as disarmament and German reunification. But, lie said, the path for resolving such issues may eventually be paved by "the advancement of a great many projects of practical cooperation, projects which, taken by themselves, may be of little importance, but which, taken together, may have the effect of shaping revolutionary new attitudes in the world." Fulbright made his proposals Friday night in a speech prepared for a Pennsylvania State University audience. Just NOTICE PG AUTO WASH NOW OPEN ON SUNDAY (Weather Permitting) 10 A.

M. to 3 P. M. 206 E. 2nd Oil City Phone 649-3433 a day earlier, the Senate-House Republican leadership in Washington urged a "no concession- no deal policy" toward the Soviets.

Weather conditions Fulbright to cancel (he speech, but it was made public by his office in Washington. Fulbright did not minimize the importance of efforts to seek German reunification and general disarmament, or of U.S.- Soviet differences over Soviet refusal to pay its assessments for United Nations peacekeeping operations. But in the absence of progress on these "emotional issues," Fulbright continued, "it is still possible to seek other means of reducing international tensions." He proposed (he ultimate "mullilaleralization" operation by many nations of separate U.S. and Soviet foreign aid programs to "convert assistance to the underdeveloped countries from an instrument of rivalry to an instrument of reconciliation." Conceding that Soviet-Western operation in foreign aid beyond specific, limited projects would seem to be unrealistic for the foreseeable future, Fulbright said an initial, tenative venture could lead to another bolder venture and in turn to Communist membership in international lending agencies and a "globalization" of aid. As starters, he suggested that: 1.

The United States could propose to the Soviet Union that the two countries cooperate, under the auspices of an international agency, "in a particular development project that both favor, in India or another country." 2. "There is no overriding reason why the Soviet Union, as a user, should not be encouraged to participate in a Centra! American canal consortium," or management combination. He suggested that such an organi- zation, under auspices of the World Bank, might include Panama, the United Stales and users of the canal, including the Soviet Union. 3. Establishment of normal trade with the Soviet Union in nonstrategic goods, "involving neither special favors nor special discrimination either," He said this should have "political and psychological effects in reducing tensions, improving the general atmosphere of international relations and opening up one or more areas of practical East-West cooperation." Fulbright recalled he first proposed Soviet participation in an international arrangement for operation of the Panama Canal a year ago.

He said an opportunity for such operlion "may arise out of plans for Ihe construction of a new canal across the Central American isthmus or devising of a new regime for the present Panama Canal." Under any reasonable ar- rangement, the senator said, "no member of the consortium would be in a position to close the canal or disrupt the flow of ils traffic." There would be no threat to the security of the canal in Soviet participation," he continued. "On the other hand, participation in an International canal company could be an extremely useful experience in international responsibility for the Soviet Union and for all other participants as well."

He has said: "I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet he shall live: and whosoever livelh and believeth in me shall never Then Christ asks: "Believes! thou this?" My answer is yes. I do believe that through Christ we never die. This is why I welcome Lent, because knowing His I am brought even closer to Him. I believe that Lent makes us ask ourselves if we have satisfied (tie requirements of His promise.

Because he restricted His promise to those lhat "believe in me," we have to give Him all our faith to fulfill the conditions. Lent helps me assertain if I have given my all, or if not, where I have failed. Moreover, Lent helps me to remember lhat I am never alone. We can always gain satisfaction lo know lhat we have a loving and compassionate Jesus to turn for consolation. If we believe on him he never forsake us, for he has saidf'And lo, I am wi'h you always, even unto the end of Ihe world." That is what Lent means to me, to be assurred of His promise of life eternal, and have His assuring grace forever.
