HERRIOT POLICY TO BE FOLLOWED More Than Three Hundred Deputies Will Follow Pol icy Which They Say Peo ple Approved in Election. •Paris, April 11 (By Associated Press ).—The Herriot cabinet is out of power, overthrown by the senate because of the charges that under M. Herriot’* rule the legal limit of the bank note* cir culation ha* been secretly exceeded, but M. Herriot’s majority in the chamber of deputies remains virtually intact. At a general meeting this morning of the four groups of left parties forming the governmental majority since last May, a resolution was adopted “to con tinue with unshakable determination the policies for which the country voted at the last election." The meeting repre sented about 340 deputies, consisting of a good working majority of the chamber. The Socialists, KM strong, went even one better when they decided they would sup port none other than M. Herriot. The senate declared itself in such un equivocal manne* the adverse vote being Kin against 132, that although the r con sultations of President Doumergue look ing to the selection of a new premier have hardly even started, it may be said that M. Herriot’s return is very unlikely. AIRPLANEPHOTOGRAfTiS OF NATIONAL, PARKS Photos Villi Be I'sed to Determine Boun daries of New National Parks. Washington.

X X $ ♦**xxxx*x*****x* EASTER CELEBRATION AT WINSTON-SALEM Thousands of Peaplr Will Journey to (he Twin-CRy Ttomorrow. <By the Associated Press.) Winston-Salem, April 11.—Hundreds of visitors from ail parts of North Caro lina and many other states had arrived here late toda)[, to be on hand for the Moravian Faster celebration* en rly tomor row morning. More will arrive during the early evening and tonight. Incom ing trains today* brought numerous visi tors, and the eoads to Winston-Salem were thronged with automobiles. The annual Moravian Easter service, which had its qrigin in 1732, when a lit tle bond of MrVlkvian Christians gather ed in the hilltop graveyard to celebrate the Feast of the Resurrection, has grown to be the largest meeting of the kind in the world. It makes of Winston-Salem an annual Mecca and rivals pilgrimage assemblies of the ages. . There is an air of solemnity, mingled with a. spirit of rejoicing, about this service. Bishop Edward Hondthaier. of the Moravian Church, stationed in Winston-Salem, said today that the celebration of Easter by Moravian Christians would start in the mountainous heart of Asia, twelvejiours in advance of its beginning in Winston- Salem. It will, several hours later, he said, be’ taken up in Jerusalem, and then in central and western Europe and, after that in Winston-Salem. Celebra tions like this, although much smaller in magnitude, • will, later, be held in Australia. , Bishop Bondtlialer described the serv ice as being confined to no continent, no clime. “It will be held in the ice-bound Arctic.” he said, "and in file forests of the torrid zone, and in other places, in honor of our risen Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.” The Moravian Christiana came from what is ndw Czecho-Slovakia, in central Europe*—a little band of persecuted Christians, seeking liberty and freedom of thought.” It is likely that from 20,000 to 30,- 000 ’persons, perhaps more, will witness, and participate in the early Easter day Service heCe Tomorrow. The service will be in progress when dawn comes. If the skies are clear, the first rays of the Easter day sun will sweep across a host of worshippers gath ered at the Moravian cemetery, assembled there to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. Though solemn, the Moravian Easter serviee is not one of gloom. It is an occasion of gladness. It sarts in front of the old “Home Church” at 5 o’clock, each Easter Sunday, aud is completed in the Moravian graveyard. “There is no special story connected with the beginning of this service.” said Bishop Rondthaler. He added that the “little band of Moravian Christians” who gathered for the initial celebration thought so well of it that they repeated f it on the following Easter! It then became a custom, one that has attracted wide attention and has made Winston- t Salem, the largest Moravian center per- t hails in the United States, certainly in i the South, of peculiar interest at Easter i time.
