Billy Graham Peeved at Story On Crusade Cost New York IP Evangelist Billy Graham said the other night he was peeved at "a relig ious magazine that said the money being spent on this New York crusade to save souls is far too much." "I wish the editor of that mag azine would calculate for me how much he thinks it's worth to save one soul," Graham said, with more than a trace of in dignation in his voice. Worth Whole World "The magazine can say what it wants to say. What I know is that Jesus said that if one soul is saved from hell for his king dom then it's worth the whole world." Although Graham did not mentioned the magazine by name, he apparently referred to the Christian Century, an in fluential Protestant publication that has been highly critical of the evangelist. Among its most recent charg es has been that the million dol lars being spent on the Billy Graham New York crusade is money expended for a cause of doubtful worth. Rar Thing Graham's taking issue with the "religious magazine" was a rare thing for him. It is his prac tice to refuse comment on most criticisms against him, on the ground that "There's already too much dissension among Protest ant faiths and I don't want to add to it." In a sermon on soul saving, Graham told a Madison Square garden audience of 18,000 that it pained him to see that "very few Christians seem concerned over the thousands of lost souls all around them." "Take the case of one lost boy, like that of the little boy in the well, and the newspapers are full of it. Everyone in America U gravely concerned, everyone cares," the 38-year-old revival ist said. "Of course it's wonderful the little boy was saved. But why don't people care about lost souls; how peculiar are our values!" 52nd Year Medford United Pre Full Leased Wire TV!

Air Force Cancels Navajo Development Washington (IPI The Air Force has cancelled develop ment of its Navajo intercon tinental guided missile, a weap on designed to fly 1,700 miles an hour. Air Fnrrp Rnpretarv .lamps H. Douglas attributed the cancella tion to a limited budget. The Air Force was not able immediately to say how much money it had spent on the Navajo project, but a well in formed official said it was around $500 million. The Navajo project produced ihe rocket motors which are basically the ones now powering I the Jupiter and Thor interme Idiate range .ballistic missiles and the Atlas intercontinental balis tic missile. It was said development work would have to be continued a long while before the Navajo would become an acceptable weapon. By that time it would not be needed because of the ICBM developments.

Filler Cigarettes Said No Help to Cancer Incidence Denver (IP) A New Orleans surgeon and cancer specialist told the 11th annual Rocky Mountain Cancer Conference that he is often asked whether filter cigarettes help anyone, and here is his answer: "They do. They help sell more cigarettes." The surgeon - specialist, Dr. Alton Ochsner, said the use of filters does not alter the rela tionship between smoking and' the growing incidence of lung cancer. Most Frequent Form In fact, Dr. Ochsner said that cancer of the lung is "now the most frequent form of cancer in men by far." Dr. Ochsner, a long-time critic of cigarette smoking and to bacco companies, said he recent ly tested filters on four popular brands of cigarettes by compar ing the amount of tar collected in their smoke with a fifth un filtcred brand. "You couldn't tell the differ ence," he said. "Filters are pure ly a hoax." He said that "nicotine and tar" were the two basic things wrong with cigarettes. "Nicotine produces heart and blood vessel disease and tar can produce cancer," he said. "It's possible to grow tobacco with out nicotine, but it isn't used because that's what gives the smoker a boost." He claimed the cigarette in dustry "has done nothing about removing tar from cigarettes." Dr. Ochsner compared the use of cigarettes to the use of nar cotics. "You've seen it," he said. "The man trying to stop amoking is in torment for 10 days. After 10 days he isn't addicted anymore, but he still doesn't know what to do with his hands." Irreducible School Fund Distributed Salem (IPI A record dis tribution of S415.406 in earn ings from the irreducible school fund to the public schools of Oregon was authorized Wednes day by the State Land Board. Gov. Robert D. Holmes, chair man of the board, said the fig ure,, which represents just over 87 cents for each of the state's 475,293 school children, was the highest rate in 35 years. Earnings are from nearly $14 million in irreducible funds col lected by the land board from the sales of school grant lands, timber from the lands and roy alties from sand and gravel re moved from the beds of Ore gon's navigable streams, the governor explained., The funds are invested in mortgage loans and bonds approved by the State Bond commission. Transfer of 104,493 acres of State Land Board timber lands for administration from the land board to the State Board of For estry was approved. Provisions for the transfer were included in laws passed by the 1957 Legislature. Includ ed are Elliott state forest lands in Coos and Douglas counties totaling some 71,643 acres.

To Buy or Sell - Use Tribune Classified Ads Judge Dodges Beauty Contest " Portland (IP) A legal move to challenge Oregon's en try in the Miss Universe contest proved a bust Wednesday and Sonja Landsem, with the 40-24-37 measurements was still the champion. Sonja earlier had been declar ed the winner but Lila Carlberg, 34VS-21-35, challenged the meth od of selection. So a restraining order was sought from Circuit Judge James W. Crawford. The judge, after hearing the matter, said the court had no jurisdiction and denied the restraining or der. C. R. Sloninger, Miss Carl berg's attorney, said he could not comment on any plans for future legal moves. The new Miss Universe will be chosen July 19. Miss Land sem's 40-inch bust is said to set a new record in the six-year-old contest. injured Hiker Said In Good Condition Bishop, Calif. (IPI A hiker in jured in a 40-foot fall in a re mote section of the High Sierra was reported in good condition today at a hospital to which he was flown in a helicopter. John Findley Scott, 23, Stock ton, Calif., suffered at least seven broken bones, as well as bruises, contusions and possible internal injuries. Despite his injuries, he was more concerned with express ing his thanks to Maj. Jones P. Ziegler of Edwards Air Force Base, pilot of the helicopter, and MSgt. Arthur J. Jacobsen, the crew chief. Zieglar snaked his craft through high mountain passes Wednesday to pick up Scott at the 11,000-foot level on the east ern slope of the Sierra in Kings Canyon National Park. Tighter Passport Rules Being Sought Washington (in Congress men have called for tightening of passport rules to prevent such cases as suspected spies slipping out of the country. Assistant Attorney General William F. Tompkins meantime made plans to fly to France in a personal effort to obtain extradi tion of an accused American husband-and-wjfe spy team. The couple Russian-born George Zlatovski, 47, and his American born wife, Jane, 45 were in dicted Monday on charges of spying for the Soviet Union. Legislators were upset be cause Mrs. Zlatovski managed to get a passport which let her slip out of the United States even though the FBI was wise to the couple's alleged activities. MRS.
