Quiet Easter Is Held at Vatican
VATICAN CITY, April 12—<U_R)— The pomp and ceremony usually attending termination of Holy week were absent today as the Vatican quietly observed Easter Sunday. Aged Pope Pius XI, cautiously evading activity which might endanger his health, disappointed gaily-bedecked Easter crowds by remaining indoors.
Rather than appear as usual on the balcony of St. Peter’s to bestow the apostolic blessing, “urbi et orbi,” he celebrated a private mass in his chapel at the Vatican. Cardinal Pa-celli, papal secretary of state, celebrated high mass at St. Peter’s. More than 12,000 attended the services.

Faculty Wives To Hold Anniversary
Daughters of S.C. professors will model old fashioned styles from 1912 as part of the 24th anniversary of the Faculty Wives’ club, Wednesday afternoon in the Town and Gown foyer.
Models for the fashion show of past years are Lois Smith, Virginia Weatherby. Josephine Swiggert, Betty Cockerill, and Dorothy Roberts, all Trojan coeds.
When Mrs. Thomas Blanchard Stowell and Mrs. George Finiey Bovard gave a party for the wives of several new young Trojan instructors at Redondo Beach back in 1911, little did they imagne that the next 24 years would see an active organization of over 600 members.
As a fitting motif for the anniversary celebration, club members will spend the afternoon in many entertaining games of years gone by, as well as enjoying a session of bridge. Prizes for many events are being offered, according to Mrs. Weatherby, general chairman for event. Climaxing the occasion will be tea, to be served at 4 p.m.
Mrs. R. B. von KleinSmid serves as president of the Faculty Wives’ club.

TOKYO, Monday, April 13—CE) —Japanese Kwantung army officials announced today that five Mongols, holding important positions in the Manchukuo government, have been arrested on charges of conniving with the Soviet union against Japan. a Nippon Dempo news agency dispatch from Hsinking reported.
The Mongols prisoners reportedly included Lin Sheng, governor of the north Hsingan province. The prisoners have been sent to Hsinking pending further investigation, the dispatch said.
The Japanese reportedly alleged that Lin Sheng received a promise from the Soviet government assuring assistance to maintain Mongolian independence and that he collected secret information about Manchukuo which he delivered to the Soviet consul at Hailar.
