Graham Calls for Congress Action New York Billy Graham Wednesday night called on Presi dent Eisenhower to take extra ordinary steps to "warn the American people of the dangers of moral decadence." He said that before Congress djourns, "they should pass a unanimous resolution, calling upon the American people to re pent of sin and turn to God. The evangelist made these recommendations in a commen tary on "what is taking place in a Los Angeles courtroom," the Confidential magazine scandal trial. He did not mention the magazine by name. He said that one factor about the trial that disturbed him was "that our laws are so leni&t as to allow the scandal magazines ... to be sold in almost every part of the United States." "This is carrying freedom of the press too far," he told an audience of 16,000 in Madison Square Garden. "Our young peo ple are being offered a diet of unbelievable dirt and filth. No wonder our morals are at an all time low! No wonder our teen agers are on a rampage this summer!"
