Pope Urges Nations Not To Use Gas Large i^e^dance At Locy pliithes On Easter Sunday “Go To Church” Campaign to Continue Through the Month; Getting Riaults Vatican City.—Pope Pius XII in a sorrowful and despairing Easter message to the world yes terday pleaded with the belliger ent nations, in apparent refer ence to the threatened use of poi son gas, to refrain from bringing “still more homicidal instru ments’’ into the slaughter. The pontiff held out "little hoipe that a just peace will be at tained soon’’ and begged that kindne-ss be shown to prisoners > and the people of occupied and trampled nations. Vatican sources* said yester day’s papal address was at least ten minutes shorter than had been planned by the pontiff be cause the pope regretfully “toned down’’ his peace appeal as result y^f the Yugoslav developments ^Jtvhich, he believed, made a stronger and more direct appeal inopportune.
