Northwest ppe Billy Graham Concludes Scotland Meeting Series; Crusade Draws Criticism Inverness, Scotland (U.R) Billy Graham wound up his all Scotland crusade in this "capi tal" of Scotland's highlands and took off todav for a week of "rest and quiet" and some golf. Eight thousand persons braved biting cold and drizzling rain to hear the North Carolina evan gelist speak last night in Bught Park. It was the final meeting of . a Scottist campaign that opened in Glasgow March 21 and has taken in meetings in Perth, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Prest- wick as well. London Next Graham and his team began a week's vacation today before moving south for a week's stand in London's Wembley Stadium. From there they go to Europe Neither Graham nor Jerr,y Beavan, his aide, would say where they planned to go. Bea van hinted some ' of the. team members were planning to tour the Scottish highlands. - "I'm not saying where I'm go ing to spend my holiday because I want rest and quiet so I can prepare a series of fresh ad dresses for London and the con tinent," Graham said. "But I hope to get some golf in as well I can do with a rest." With Family Mrs. Graham and their daugh ter, Virginia, were with him. Graham said Sunday the Glas gow phase of the campaign eight meetings a week in the 17,000-capacity Kelvin Hall had been the most successful crusade he had ever conducted. The number of persons who heard him preach either in per son or -via leased wires verged on the 3,000,000 mark. Some 52.000 "declared for Christ." But a minister who helped organize relays of Graham's service fronr Glagow to churches in Sough on the outskirts of London said that doesn't make him a Graham fan. The Rev. Claude Williams, rector . of the Sough parish church, vetoed a plan by mem ber! of his congregation to char ter a bus and travel to London to see Graham. "Billy Graham's methods are contrary - to mine," Williams aid. "His meetings are like' football matches. They are treat ed as entertainment. They are too sensational and emotional and I do not think they will make lasting conversions. "I was shocked at the ir reverent way he spoke of Jesus Christ," the rector said. "Not once did I hear him speak of him as 'Our Lord.' He refers to him as one does to Tom or Dick or Harry." : ' A 50-year-old Church of Scotland minister also took issue with Graham for what he called "reducing Christianity to the emotion level of a jamboree." The Rev. John Cosgrove, vicar of an Aberdeen church, said Graham's meeting in Aber deen Monday was a "stunt."

Clyde T. Ellis, president, and Charles A. Robinson Jr., staff engineer, of the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association, made the statement in testimony before a Senate Interior Sub committee. Considering Bill The subcommittee Is consider ing a bill to authorize the $350, 000,000 government dam. Op ponents were ,to testify later. They were to include R. P. Parry, attorney for the Idaho Power Company; Bernard Wil liams, -a company vice president, and representatives of Idaho water user organizations. Ellis asserted that the Idaho Power Company has tried to "erase" . electric cooperatives from its area. It has "killed off" three in the state, he charged and is "trying to kill two more." Giveaway Attempt Charged He argued that the company with the "assistance" of the Fed eral Power. Commission is "try ing to give away a $1,000,000, 000 resource." The company is seeking an FPC license for three low dams in the canyon. Robinson said private utili ties now are trying to obtain up stream sites in the Columbia system . to , "gain control over power production of the down stream federal projects." Most of the federal dams, he empha sized, are on the main stems of rivers in the basin. "Private utility companies undertaking these upstream storage projects would secure operating control not only of the at-site power, but of the far greater quantities of power made available downstream by the water release,", he said. Sen. By rd Tells Chamber; Members Federal Debt Equals All Tanqible Thinqs in U. S. Washington . (U.R) Sen Harry F., Byrd said today that the federal debt "is equivalent to the full value of all the land, all the. buildings, all the. mines, all the machinery, all the livestock everything of tangible value in the United States." "I think no one can deny that we are mortgaged to the ,hilt," Byrd (D-Va.), said in an address to the annual meeting of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. 1200 Per Cent Increase "Today the direct debt of the federal government is $280,000,- Rare Operation Done by Dr. Carter A rare operation, the replace ment of a heart .valve with a plastic valve, was performed re cently by Dr. Max G. Carter, son of a well-known Medford family, according to the New Haven Evening Register. Dr. Carter is the son of Mrs. George Carter, 821 East Jack son st." The late Mr. Carter was county clerk here for many years. The physician, chief of thor acic surgery at St. Raphael's hospital in New Haven, employ ed a technique developed in the east and used only rarely. The patient's heart valves had been damaged by rheumatic fever, and the plastic valve will en able him to lead nearly normal active life, although the artific ial valve, which clicks audibly as the heart pumps, will give him a permanent reminder of the operation. Dr. Carter is a graduate of Medford High schodl, University of Oregon and Harvard univer sity medical school. He served in the Navy during World War II, and has been at the New Haven hospital about four years. 000,000," Byrd said. "Percentage wise, this is an increase of near ly 1200 per cent over our debt in 1933." "It is possible and in fact probable that before this astron omical debt is paid off, if it ever is, the interest charge will ex ceed the principal,". Byrd warn ed. He said that for 21 years out of the last 24 the government has spent more than it has col lected in taxes. In these 24 years, he added, "we have balanced the budget in only three and these were more by accident than by design." Byrd praised the Eisenhower administration's efforts to bal ance the budget. But he also charged that President Eisen hower has advocated the "long est step yet to federal paternal ism -oy recommending "the grants to states yet under tak en." - Byrd cited the President's multi-billion dollar proposals for increased federal aid for high way and school construction and for creation of a so-called fed eral health payment program. ' In an earlier address to the chamber, a Commerce Depart ment official said "aggressive, venturesome policies" in for eign trade by the United States can make the next 12 months "one of the better periods of our history." E. E. Scnellbacher, of the de partment's Bureau of Foreign commerce, said prospects, are good for rising exports and im ports in the year to come. He spoke to the U. S. Chamb er of Commerce at the final ses sion of its 43 rd annual meeting. Before the meeting ended, the chamber was to forge its greatest increase in federal future policy on such varied af- COOK'S BEAUTY CLINIC 528 East Mam Proudly .
