O New York W Is Billy
Graham's New Yorit crusade a
"success?"
The answer depends on what

Louis CaiieU pointed.
There seem to be just as many
bars on 52nd St., just as many
drunks wandrring along Times
Square, just as many near-naked
girls cavorting in the night
clubs, just as much avarice in
the canyons of Wall st., as there
was before Billy Graham came to
town.
There is one immediately de
tectable difference: Religion has
Become a topic of conversation.
It is by no means the only, or
even the main, topic. But you do
hear people talking about the
crusade, sometimes jestingly,
mmetimes very earnestly, in
places where the name of Jesus
Christ has not been spoken ex
cept in blasphemy for many
yean.
Statistically Successful
In purely statistical terms, the
meetings which began May 15 in
Madison Square Garden have
been the most successful Graham
has ever conducted. Attendance
to date has averaged 17,800
nightly, close to the seating ca
pacity of the Garden. On sever
al evenings, the crowd has been
so great that 2.000 or more had
to be turned away.
The number of people coming
forward to make ' decisions for
Christ" Graham calls them
"inquirers" rather than "con
verts" has averaged 578 each
niht and on occasion has ap
proached 1,000.
With tiie crusade now extend
ed until July 21, it seems likely
that Graham's total New York
audience will exceed 1 million.
The response is doubly im
pressive when you take into ac
count the fact that only about 8
per cent of the city's residents
are Protestants like Graham,
while 27 per cent are Roman
Catholics, 10 per cent are Jews,
and 55 per cent have no church
affiliation.
Letters by Thousands
Graham's mail which runs
more than 1.000 letters a day
indicates that a sizeable number
" Catholics and Jews are attend
ing his meetings. And a spokes
man for the Graham team said
there have been "many" Catho
lics and Jews among those who
have come forward to make "de
cisions.' '
The sharpest criticism of the
Graham crusade has come from
other Protestants, who dislike
the methods of highly-organized
evangelism and doubt the value
of mass conversions in a revival
atmosphere.

COMMENCEMENT AD
DRESS Vice President
Richard Nixon is shown as
he delivered commencement
address during brief visit to
Michigan State University,
at- East Lansing. Comment
ing on the illness of Presi
dent Eisenhower on his re
turn to Washington, Nixon
said "most of us expect to
see him back at his office
tomorrow morning."
fire from extreme fundamenta
lists, who protest his refusal to
sleer converts to strictly "evan
gelical" churches; from theolo
gical liberals who boggle at his
insistence on taking quite liter
ally what the Bible says about
sin and salvation, heaven and
hell; and from middle-of-the-road
Protestant pastors who worry
about the disillusionment or des
pair that may come to "inquir
ers" who discover that instan
taneous conversion at a revival
meeting is only the first step in
a long process of growth in grace
which must continue throughout
a Christian's life.
I asked Graham about these
criticisms and misgivings during
a long private interview in his
hotel suite. He declined to talk
about some of the sharper, more
personal attacks.
"There are enough divisions
among Christians already," he
said. "I decided a long time ago
that I wouldn't answer some of
these things. I don't believe the
Lord called me to add to the con
troversies in His family."
Quotes John Wesley
I told him some people felt his
preaching depended too heavily
on an appeal to fear. Had he
ever thought that he mieht dwell
less on the wrath and judgment
of God, and more on His love
and mercy?
In reply, he quoted his prede
cessor in evangelism, John Wes
ley: "Before I can preach grace,
I must preach law and judg
ment." Graham said he tries in every
sermon to cut through the shell
of "self-righteousness" which
keeps men from "recognizing
their need of salvation." He does
not shy away from the doctrine
of eternal punishment of the un
repentant, uncongenial as it may
be to the modern mind, because:
"Only when we see ourselves
as sinners under judgment are
we ready to accept the forgive
ness, the reconciling love of God
which is offered to us in Christ."

cave the I nited Press his version of
the incident. His account follows:
BY HIDETSUGU ONOZEKI
As Told to United Press
Somogahara, Japan HPi
There wer about 70 or 80 vil
lagers at the firing range that
day, watching the American
soldiers conduct an exercise.
Mrs. Sakai and I were among
them.
First the soldiers fired live
ammunition. Then they divided
into two groups one group went
up the hill and the other stayed
below and loaded their guns
with blank ammunition for an
attack on the group on the hill.
When the exercise was over,
the soldiers lay down to rest
and we (the villagers) moved to
ward them to see if they would
give us somt empty shells to sell
for scrap.
Some of the soldiers got up
and shoutca at us, "Get out of
here."
All the villagers started to I was another shot and I saw Mrs
run away. But Mrs. Sakai and j Sakai fall forward on her face
I were a little way apart from with her arms spread out. She
the group, so we were behind the moaned but didn't say anything.
Senate Approves Funds
Washington 'IP Senate has ; another emDtv cartridce into his
others.
Mrs. Sakai and I were about
10 yards from two soldiers by
a machine gun. One of them
(the man I later identified as
Girard when Army officers took
me to Camp Whittington) held
up about 10 small cartridge!.
He said to Mrs. Sakai, "Mama
san koko takusan brass" (Wom
an, here is much brass), and
threw the shell casings on the
other side of a shallow trench.
Mrs. Sakai and I ran to pick
them up.
Then Girard threw some more
shells but these went into the
trench and Mrs. Sakai went in
to get them
Girard has denied that the
he tossed th shells out to entice
the Japanese.
Saw Pointed Rifle
I was about to run over to
the trench to help Mrs. Sakai
when I saw Girard pointing his
rifle at me. It looked very dan
gerous but I thought he was jok
ing. Anyway, 1 started to run away
down the hill when I heard -a
shot and something went by my
left foot. My back was to Gir
ard. When I turned around I saw
him crouched down and putting
approved 72 to 0 a S5,3'?8
594.800 bill to operate 17 inde
pendent government agencies in
the fiscal year starting July 1.
The measure was cut S545,
570,200 below President Eisen
hower's request but S163.750,
000 of the reduction represented
no real saving for the Treasury
gun (Girard'; gun was equipped
with a grenade launcher).
Girard stood up and came
closer to the trench where Mrs.
Sakai was. He shouted, "Get out
of here, get out of here."
Saw Her Fall Forward
Just then Mrs. Sakai started to
climb out oi the trench. There
1 was standing about eight yards
from where she fell.
Girard ran up to her. He
looked frightened. He leaned
over and put his hand on Mrs.
Sakai's back and shook her, but
she didn't move.
Girard turned to me and
called out, "Papasan,' motioning
me to come.
I talked to Mrs. Sakai and
touched her back. "Obasan, Oba
san," I said but she didn't an
swer and I knew she was dead.
