Crashes Into Car An unmanned pickup truck took an unexpected roll down a grade in reverse in Glendale early this week halting only when it struck a vehicle operated by Wayne Lewallen of Glendale. The pickup backed down onto Glendale Road when it was out of gear. The owner, Wilton Garrett, said that he had apparently brush ed the gear shift mechanism with his leg as he got out of the car.

Catholics Told Not To Attend Graham Sessions NEW YORK I Catholics are being warned again about attend ing evangelist Billy Graham's crusade in Madison Square Gar den. The warning the second in sev en weeks came from the Rev. Richard Ginder, editor of "Our Sunday Visitor," a national Cath olic weekly. Father Ginder said some Cath olics had mistakenly taken the view that their church had given Graham's preaching "a mild sort of approval." To correct such assumptions, he is publishing an editorial on the subject in next Sunday's issue of the church publication saying: "We are tolerant and friendly to Billy Graham and company just as we are to the Lutherans, Presbyterians and Jehovah s wit nesses. "However, our tolerance and friendliness exist only at the so cial and civil level. It stops dead where religion enters in." The first warning to Catholics about attending Graham's services was sounded in Washington, D.C., on April 24 by the Rev. John E. Kelly, director of the bureau of information of the National i,am olie Welfare Conference. He described Graham as a pur veyor of false doctrines whose teachings were "a danger to the faith."
