Occasionally, as he has done foc'the past 13 nights, Graham urged in soft tones that the tim id, ttie nearly.decided "cast off hesitation" and come forward to make, "the fateful decision." His urging did not go unheed ed. Still the "inquirers" came forward-little ladies in black, a youth in a wheelchair pushed by his mother, duck-tailed kids in leather jackets and high school girls in frilly summer cottons, all anxious to "accept Jesus Christ." Total Reaches 8,242 Monday night's 529 conver sions brought Graham's New York Crusade total to 8,242 in the first two weeks of the revi val. Nearly 225,000 have heard the 38-year-old Baptist minister's sermons so far. The decision-makers were join ed by members of Graham's staff of 500 volunteer counselors, who led them to a conference room in the basement of the Garden to "give them guidance in reading the Bible and following a Christ ian life."

W) The Ra leigh News and Observer said today that it had uncovered a service distributing free liquor to legislators at a downtown hotel. The newspaper's first edition, complete with pictures of the liquor being delivered to the Sir Walter Hotel, hit the streets just as the Monday night legislative session ended. There were angry mutterings from legislators as they gathered in the Capitol corridors and ho tel lobbies to read the story. None would comment for pub lication but one said "That's go ing a little too far. Everybody is entitled to a toddy now and then." Many of the legislators ex pressed interest in the list of names of the 33 persons the pa per said had shared in the liquor distribution. The News and Observer said, however, it was withholding the names pend ing a check to determine whether the legislators actually were liv ing in the rooms registered in their names. Liquor is sold legally only in state stores in North Carolina and possession by an individual of more than one gallon is prima facie evidence of possession for the purpose of sale.
