50,000 In

JERUSALEM (UPIi — An
estimated 50.000 tourists florked

tian pilgrim* to sadly retrace
Jesus’ step* to the crucifilxon
Jews for the .joyous feast of
Passovpr marking the exodus
of their forefathers from Egypt
in 1300 8 C.
Nearly 2.000 Christians made
the solemn procession along the
Via Dolorosa, stopping at each
of the 14 stations of the cross
before entering the church of
the Holy Sepulchre, where the
Basilica marking the place j
Jesus is believed to have been j
buried was draped in mourning
black.
Sunny skies and pleasant
temperatures blessed the pa-
rade through the narrow stone
streets. Israeli troops, alert
against the possibility of Arab
guerrilla attack, remained out
of sight.
of urban overpopulation Jim
Harwell, director of the Texas
Industrial Commission, said
Thursday.
One hundred sixty-five Texas
counties lost population in the
1960s
"We must stop the flow of
people from our smaller towns
and cities into the already over-
populated areas,” Harwell urg-
ed. "We must secure better
higher-paying jobs for Texans.”
Harwell told Waco business
leaders Texas must close tire
gap between the averse in-
come for Texas and that of the
entire nation.
"Texas is at a turning point
right now,” he said. "We can
either take the lead in indus-
trial development i nd secure a
prosperous life for our future
generations - or we < an lag be.
bind while other states pass us
by.”
He suggested Texas institute
a program of pre-empk%n£nt
training to enable its citizens to
move from vanishing farms into
profitable industrial positions.

By RUTH HI DE
Writtrn Especially for Central Press
IN TERMS of time and effect, the legal proceedings
against Jesus were among the shortest and most far-reaching
In history. Actually, there were six separate “trials," though
four of them were little longer than personal interviews.
Following His arrest, Jesus was brought before Annas,
political boss of Jerusalem and the former high priest. After
a short interview, Annas ordered Him held for trial on a
charge of blasphemy. He was taken to the home of the high
priest, Caiphas, son-in-law of Annas, where He spent the
remainder of the night.
At dawn Ho was taken before a hastily summoned San-
hedrin, the highest religious authority in the country'. After
listening to witnesses and questioning Jesus Himself, only
two -Nicodennis and Joseph of Arimathea—voted for ac-
quittal. The others were for conviction..
The Sanhedrin could convict but it could not condemn.
That was ihe prerogative of the Roman procurator. So Jesus
was sent to Pontius Pilate. Disregarding the religious accu-
sations, Pilate considered Jesus’ ease in the cold light of
Roman law and could find no fault or wrong. Nonetheless,
as a courtesy, and perhaps to shift any possible blame from
himself, Pilate sent Jesus to Herod Antipas, tetrarch of
Galilee.
Herod promptly returned the prisoner to Pilate and the
procurator reluctantly- condemned Jesus and freed Barrabas.
The sentence was carried out almost immediately-. Jesus
was scourged, then forced to carry His own cross to Golgotha
where He was crucified along with two thieves. By the ninth
hour, little more than 18 hours after being arrested, Jesus
was dead.
Jewish law did not permit corpses to remain on a cross
overnight; and Roman law- allowed honorable burial for
persons execute* for political reasons. Thus Pilate was able
to grant Joseph of Arimathea’s request for Jesus’ body in
order to give it a proper burial.
With the help of Nicodemus and the two Marys, the body
was removed, hastily embalmed and entombed. As was the
custom, a great stone was rolled across the tomb's entrance
and everyone hurried home to await the Sabbath.
NEXT: The Resurrection.
Booths
And Rails
Suggested
Activities and policies of offi-
cials of DeWitt County in con-
ducting general and primary e-
lection may not be in compli-
ance with the mandates of the
Texas Election Code, DeWitt
I County Commissioners were
told in court session Thursday
afternoon.
In a letter from United Sta-
tes Attorney Anthony P. Farria
of Houston, commissioners were
fold that his office had been
advised of certain practices
which occurred m the general
election held Nov. 3, 1970
Among these were failure to
provide screened writing shel-
ves in all ladling places and
failure to install guard rails so
situated as to maintain the in-
tegrity of the vote in all poll-
ing places.
Also, the letter noted that the
voting site for Precinct 18 list-
ed in the Yoakum-Herald Times
newspaper on Nov. 3 as the
. Yoakum Fire station is report-
ed to be located in Lavara
j Gainty.
The above statement is in
error because the two voting
sites in Yoakum are located in
DeWitt County. Judge Trow ell
said.
The fire station is located in
DeWitt County.
Farris asked that he he ad-
; vised of the court's efforts to
j correct the situation bv April
26 in advance of the May 18
election concerning state con-
stitutional amendments.
In discussing the letter De-
! Witt County Judge Trowell not-
ed that Article 7.04 of the Tex-
as election Code titled "When
Booths Are Not Required"
would apply to voting proceed-
ures in DeWitt County.
Voting booths are nol requir-
ed in DeWitt County Cities be-
cause they all have populations
under 10.000 Judge Trowell said
Article 7.04 states that when
voting booths are not required,
a guard rail should be placed
so that no one unauthorized can
approach nearer than six feet
of thp voter while he is pre-
paring his ballot.
Also a shelf for writing must
be prepared tor the voter with
* pencil and should be so
screened that no other person
can see how he marks his bal-
lot.
No definite action was taken
by commissioners Thursday, ft
was pointed oul however, tint
there is a possibility of change
in voting locations for the May
18 election Commisisoners are to
report again Monday to formu-
late a specific plan of action.
Commissioners approved the

niann as Deputy Sheriff of the
