Graham Tells of Meditation for
Success of Geneva Conference
Editor'! Not: In the followlnr
dal dispatch written for the United
Press. American evangelist Billy Gra
kara tells his prlrate meditations and
hopes (or success of the Big Four
ranunlt parley.
Br BILLY GRAHAM
Written For United Pre
Geneva (U.FD Today a
little boy stood out in front of
our hotel watching the people
come and go. Then I noticed he
glanced up at the four flags
hanging in front, the American,
British, French and Russian.
Hia eyes seemed to be filled
with wonderment, excitement
and a certain amount of be
wilderment. To me he seemed
to symbolize future generations
-whose destiny hangs in the bal
ance during the next few days.
I have four little children and
the type of world they live in
may be decided right here in
Geneva this week.'
Millions of eyes are focused
on this resort city. They repre
sent all races, tongues and
creeds. The weather is hot, the
hotels are jammed. Beautiful
Lake Geneva is filled with sail
boats. But the topic of conservation
is, "will this conference increase
the possibilities' of war or
peace?"
As we have been driven sev
eral times by the Metropole
Hotel where the Russian dele
gation is staying, we could not
help but wonder what was go
ing on in those well-guarded
conference rooms. They, are all
smiles. , '
A Genuine Change '
Many feel that a genuine
change is taking place in Rus
sian foreign policy.
. But the world has been de
ceived so many times that it is
waiting with bated breath for
proof. ; r
As I "have talked to diplomats
and newspapermen from various
countries, there is caution on the
one hand and optimism on the
other.
There is no doubt about it,
that there is an unprecedented
world-wide hunger for peace.
Never before in history has
the cry been so universal. The
last words of warning of Profes
sor Einstein will not be forgot
ten at this conference.
Certainly these four delega
tions must realize that the over
whelming majority , of the hu
man race longs for peace. We do
not want peace at any price..
There are still some things
worth dying for,, but if we can
get peace without infringing on
our conscience and without sell
ing our souls we desperately
want it.'- i
These four delegations must
also realize that weapons are
poised and ready on both sides
of the Iron Curtain that could
virtually wipe out civilization.
Disillusionment and Failure
There have been hundreds of
peace conferences in history.
Nearly all have eventually end
ed in disillusionment and fail
ure. We could name the Ver
sailles peace conference, the
Kellogg peaoe pact or Yalta and
Potsdam. ' .
Can we have "permanent
peace? I doubt it until Christ
comes again. These conferences
are built on the frailty of hu
man nature. -
History proves, that pride,
greed, ambition and lust for
power dominate.
Only a radical change in hu
man nature can give any - per
manence to world cond" is.
We cannot build a better .rid
until we have a better man. .
Christ came to make better
men. Thus it becomes the pa
triotic responsibility of every
world citizen to turn to Him for
regeneration.
It is certainly possible to have
an era ef peace and prosperity.
Let us hope and pray God will
give us at least a long respite
from tension and war.
Let us pray that the little boy
outside my hotel, and all others
like him, will grow up in a
world filled with peace, - pros
perity, security and faith in
God.
Malheur County
Drought Area Survey
Ontario, Ore. (U.fi) Mal
heur county and federal officials
led by Harry Sandquist, Malheur
county agent, have , returned
from a drought survey in the
McDermit area on the Oregon
Nevada border.
Sandquist said the drought
was severe and that ranchers
owning between 7,000 and 8,000
head of cattle would need feder
al aid in the form of reduced
freight rates so they could pur
chase hay in other areas.
- He said the area hay crop was
about one-third of normal. The
drought extends into 'Harney
county, Sandquist reported, but
he said' conditions in the Jordan
valley 75 miles north of the
.drought zone were good. .
Rep. Sam Coon of Oregon, told
the county court he had. turned
the aid request over to the Farm
administration. .
Bock Stairs: Count of Secret Agents

' Geneva, Switzerland (U.R)
Backstairs at the far-traveling
White House:
Secret Service agents - are
laughing- at European reports
that they have 100 agents on
duty here. Under 50 would be
a better guess. - - .
The Swiss are very particular
about the admission of weapons
into their traditionally neutral
country. The Secret Service how
ever, brought in a , bunch of
small machine guns.
Press secretary James C. Hag
erty told the men traveling with
. the President: Bring evening
clothes, but only black dinner
,' jackets. It turns out that the
" Swiss think poorly of white sum

would arise if the chief execu
tive decided to play golf with
the Russian Premier, Nikolai
Bulganin. At .last count, Bui
ganin was waiting for Khrush
chev, the Communist party lead
er, to shoot first.
Mr. Eisenhower, even with his
World War U years in Europe,
does not know Khruschev. The
President's relations with the
Russians were mostly on the
military level.
. ' If the Russians serve the Pres
ident vodka, hell probably de
cline. But he'll drink a scotch
and water with the Soviets.
.. Accounts of Russian dinner
parties gulping 30 and 40 shots
of vodka don't quite tell the
story) The drinks are in thimble
like glasses which hold less than
half an ounce.
It will be interesting to see
tomorrow night whether the
Swiss President serves French
or Russian champagne when the
Swiss chief executive entertains
for the Big Four.
The United States does not
admit it at present, but there
are people who -know who say
that the Russian champagne
beats the French. Champagne is
an industry with theT French,
not with the Russians. .
- Before Mr. 'Eisenhower left
for Europe, .his -mail was clog
ged for days by letters of pray
er for the success of his meet
ing with the Russians, The
White House acknowledges most
mail, but some of the country's
biggest trade associations are
somewhat miffed because . their
recent letters to the chief execu
tive have not drawn as much
as postcards in . return. ,
Around Hollywood

Editors note: Tha thord la a scries
a Clark Gable and bis bride. Today
What is Kay Spreekels like?
Hollywood U.PJ Kay Wil
liams Spreekels captured Clark
Gable, their friends decided to-
d a y, because
for .one thing,
she corrected
an old mistake
and played
"hard to get."
Gable and
the vivacious
blonde had an
earlier fling at
love when the
Aline Morty - actor returned
to MGM after World War IL
"But you know what happens
when the girl, wants to marry
and the man doesn't want to be
rushed, one close pal of Gable's
says. "This time, 10 years later,
she" is independently .wealthy
and wasn't interested in mar
riage after her unhappiness with
sugar heir Adolph Spreekels II.
Gable talked her into marriage.
He hesitated before because she
was young and an actress, but
now she is mature."
... What is the woman like who
won a second . chance to be
Gable's wife?
Top Model';
.. Kay has been described as an
"ex-actress." Actually she came
from a well-to-do Erie, Pa., fam
ily. The intelligent, beautiful
jdrl landed a coveted job on a
New York fashion magazine
when she was only 23. She also
was a top New York fashion
model. When she married a boy
back home, a big picture maga
zine covered the event.
After that first marriage fail
ed, Kay moved to Hollywood for
an MGM career. Her second con
quest was Argentine sportsman
Martin De Alzaga Unzue. . She
left him in., three days on a
charge he was "cruel." Three
years later he claimed he gave
her $30,000 in cash and gifts be
cause she promised to remarry
him but eloped with the richer
Adolph Spreekels. V
, Her marriage with Spreekels
was a stormy one, but : friends
say Kay "tried her best to make
it work." At their divorce,
Spreekels charged she once tried
to romance Gable at their swim
ming pool (which she denied).
The new Mrs. Gable is a com
bination of Carole' Lombard,
Gable's third wife, and Lady
Sylvia Ashley, his fourth. Kay is
a cheerful, witty "good Joe"
type who can also put on a sim
ple black Dior dress and pearls
and be a charming, perfect
hostess. .-. -: : . :
Dislikes Phonies.
She is a good mother to her
two children, and Gable brags to
friends about "the great way she
handles her kids.". Her pre-Gable
home ; had tasteful, traditional
furniture.
Kay is honest, forthright and
"doesn't like phonies." She is a
natural beauty who wears little
make-up and simple, expensive
clothes. Most of her evening
dresses are black and white
sheath gowns. She golfs with
Gable in a skirt, tailored blouse
and cashmere sweater.
Will it last?
"Clark loves to sit back and
laugh at her' conversation,", one
friend says. "He seems vastly
entertained by Kay. They are
very comfortable with each oth
er. They -go on hunting trips to
gether and Lady Sylvia never
would do that"
- Some Hollywood observers
point out both are thrice-divorced
and Kay has a record of
violent marriages. But their
friends think the two "are . so
companionable." '
"Why, he calls her Ma and
Kay calls him Pa. That's real
love," one friend says.
Disneyland Debut
'Confused Mess;'
Traffic Snarled.
Hollywood (U.PJ Walt Dis
ney's amusement park, Disney
land, made its debut on televi
sion yesterday but behind the
cameras many of the 30,000 in
vited guests complained that the
opening was a "confused mess."
The first headache - was . the
bumper to bumper traffic for
seven miles before reacmng tne
nark, dubbed the "worst traffic
mess we've ever seen" by police.
The $17,000,000 park was built
20 miles from downtown Los
Angeles in suburban. Anaheim.
Other Guests Came
. To the "invitational press pre
view" were invited some 5000
news writers from around the
nation and 30 foreign countries.
But in addition came 25,000 oth
er guests, employees of Disney
Studios, ABC, and commercial
firms that have exhibits in the
park and civic officials. Long
lines stretched in front of the
various concessions, and many a
moppet wept' in frustration.
Even movie stars, including
Lana 'Turner, .James -Mason,
Frank Sinatra and George Go
bel, elbowed like everyone else
in the bargain basement crush
to get their children on the rides.
The park was about three
fourths finished for the preview.
Workmen still were planting
trees and installing seats . the
nisht before. Paint still was wet
, "If you - stood still, you got
painted," one TV crewman saio.
Squeals of Delight
Desnite ooenine day mixups,
the guests appeared impressed
with the project, a combination
of a world's fair and amusement
park. Rides in the shape of Dis
ney cartoon characters and a
castle with a real' draw bridge
brought squeals of young delight.
Not much is free. Most, of the
park is, leased, by commercial
firms selling everything from
ice cream to .children's shoes.
Disneyland . officials, anticipat
ing 40,000 customers .daily,
claimed the average "tab" will
be $2. But admission is 50 cents
for children, $1 for adults with
rides 25 to 35 cents, - v.
American Army
Said Leaving Asia
Tokyo - (U.R) The U.S
Army is withdrawing from Asia,
leaving the defense of the anti-
Communist nations to American
atomic bombers and untried As
ian armies, it was indicated to
day
United States Defense Secre
tary Charles Wilson's disclosure
that another Army division
would be. brought home from
Asia in the current fiscal, year,
coupled with his rejection of
the appeal of former Army Chief
Of Staff Gen. Matthew B. Ridg
way against further ground
force cuts, cemented the trend
to U.S. policy planning.
The Army withdrawal is not
being matched by buildup , of
U.S. air or naval forces based in
the Far East.
The planners are counting on
rapid reinforcement from U. S.
continental bases in an emer
gency. ; '.'
"But when the whistle blows"
one high officer recently admit
ted, "we're likely to find this is
a secondary, theater and the re
inforcements can't be spared."
