Humphrey and congressional leaders hailed today the American order for a 30-hour Christmas cease-fire in Viet Nam and expressed the hope that it could be stepping-stone to peace negotiations.

Adult Jewish males were supposed to make the trip each fall, for the harvest feast of toe weeks, and each spring, for .Passover. Wives often went along. * * ' * - The seven - day Passover observance was a heart-stirring affair, and taking part in It in the “City of God,” with all the temple pageantry, singing choirs and trumpet fanfares must have spurred keen reactions in the boy.
