Graham's Simple Message Attracts Praise in Paris Paris (U.R) Billy Gra ham's simple message attracted warm praise and unexpected success in this strongly Catholic country today. The American evangelist had 6,000 listeners at the Palais Des Sports Monday night A sur prisingly large turnout for Mon day which usually is the slow est day of the week. Of these, 365 came forward for Christ. These figures, added to Sun day's "greatest opening victory" brought the crusade's two- day figures to 16,000 attendance and 988 decisions. This percentage of decisions in this predominately Catholic city has been about treble the number as Graham's most suc cessful meetings in Britain. Comment Stirred The success of Graham's cru sade stirred much comment to day from every corner of Paris. The preacher's ability to "reach" his audiences in a generally anti-revival society surprised both religious and lay observers. Most observers agreed with Pastor Albert Finet, director of the leading French weekly "Re forme," who attributed Gra ham's success to the simplicity of his message. Finet, lukewarm to the American before hearing his service, said Graham's theo logy was "reduced to a bare . minimum that anyone could ac cept, even a Catholic priest " The French press other than Communist and Catholic newspapers agreed with Fin et's appraisal of the services. It praised the revivalist's dynamic appeal and simple but stirring message.

Backstairs: From Squirrels to Ducks By MERRIMAN SMITH United Press White House Writer West Point, N. Y. (U.R) Backstairs at the White House: . Only one member of President Eisenhower's military academy class of 1915 is still on active duty in the armed forces. He is Lt. Gen. Hubert R Harmon, superintendent of the" new Air Force academy at Colorado Springs. The same source that provid ed the original story of the de ported White House squirrels brings in a new one on wild life at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. It seems that about three weeks ago two mallard ducks took up residence in the foun tain on the south grounds of the White House. . On a recent dull and rainy day, the President's valet, John Moaney, captured the female mallard near the White House tennis courts and proudly, bore his prize to Mrs. Eisenhower for her inspection. Mrs. Eisenhower smiled, but sent Moanev on his wav to the fountain where he restored the lady mallard to the water. At last count, the ducks were hav ing a fine time watching the tourists. New White House problem: What to name the President's new jitney plane, his four seater which has been designated by the Air Force as "AF2." The big White House plane, the Colum bine, named after the ..state flower of Mrs. Eisenhower's na tive Colorado, is referred to by the Air Force as AF1 Since the President lias named Camp David after his grandson, and a cabin cruiser after his eldest granddaughter, Barbara, it has been suggested that the small plane be called "The Lazy Susan" after the third grand child, Susan Elaine. The President might have flown to West Point for com mencement and the 40th reunion of his class in the AF2, but Mrs. Eisenhower came with him. Thus, they used the large plane. Riding in aircraft without pres surized cabins makes her un comfortable, and the AF2 is without this and many other creature comforts of the Colum bine. Anyway, Mrs. Eisenhower couldn't get in the AF2 without displacing the Secret Service ag ent who rides with the Presi dent or one of the two pilots. Plane has seats only for four. A prominent woman author who asked that her name not be used called the White House in some alarm the other day to re port this incident: She was standing in front of the Mayflower Hotel on Connec ticut Avenue when an utterly strange woman came up to her and fished some photographs out of a purse. "Would you like to see some pictures I made of the entrance to the underground Pentagon?" the stranger said. "It's supposed to be so secret." The lady author couldn't tell Tuesday, June 1. 1S55 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBTTKB THRU Chamber Completes Industrial Survey; Reports on Findings The Jackson County Chamber of Commerce has completed an industrial survey of this area, and published a report on its findings.
