Billy Graham Says
New York Crusade
Revived Everyone
New York W Billy Gra
ham said Wednesday night that
he included himself among the
53,207 persons who have offic
ially declared themselves spirit
ually strengthened by his New
York crusade.
"I have received revival In
my own soul," the evangelist
said. "I've been revived myself
spiritually by what has happen
ed in New York."
Graham made it evident he
was jubilant over the reception
New York and the world has
giver his crusade, the longest
and most successful he has ever
conducted, and which he has
described as "the biggest evang
elistic effort since the time of
Paul."
Filled To Capacity
The crusade, which Is In Its
16th week, has already drawn
1.741,600 persons to hear the
38-year-old North Carolinian. On
Wednesday night alone, Madison
Square Garden was filled to ca
pacity with 18,500 persons plus
700 standees all the fire, laws
allow.
Crusade officials were confi
dent today that by Sunday night
when Graham closes the extend
ed revival series with a rally
in Times Square, more than two
million persons will have come
to hear the evangelist.
The revivalist said in his Wed
nesday night sermon, after
which 731 persons recorded "de
cisions for Christ," that "the
greatest sin in the world is
pride," a sin that goes hand-in-hand
with selfishness.
"Pride produces jealousy,
which produces strife and war
fare, he said. "Pride is the root
of all sins, the sin of Lucifer
and of the world tonight, wheth
er national or otherwise, pride
is the great sin that causes us
not to love our neighbors.

Portland (IP) The police club
or "night stick" is once again a

Lieutenant Larry Baker of

men would be using the night

said the main reason for the re
vival of the added protection was
to conform with the arms regula

University and went to summer
school. There were 26 other law
yers in his class, all trying to
pull themselves out of an at
torney's habit of reading with
extra slowness in an effort to
squeeze every possible nuance
out of a sentence.
Shanlev savs his summer
studies have doubled the speed
of his reading and with some
more practice, he expects to be
able, to read three times as fast.
He now keeps in his office a
special .electronic gadget which
measures a persons's reading
speed and in fact, can force a
reader to move faster.
The White House has taken
on a glamorous tinge wnn
visitors from the bright world
of show business. Among the top
entertainment figures to visit
the executive offices recently
were comedian Bob Hope and
movie producer Mike Todd. In
fact, Hope played golf with the
President one day at the Burn
ing Tree club.
Hope also played Vice Presi
dent Richard M. Nixon the same
week. Nixon had an 82 and
licked the movie star who had an
84. Hope got his touch back,
however, ,when he played the
President. Hope had an 82 and
the chief executive shet an 86.

House were, to put it mildly, de
sirous that the White House list
of visitors include Italian act
ress Sophia Loren who was in
town shooting a picture on loca
tion. After all, Sophia was photo
graphed at diplomatic social
functions with White House of
ficials in the background, so why
shouldn't she visit the executive
offices.
The .powers that be decreed
otherwise, however. They didn't
like the possibility of theatrical

It is hard to figure the dif
ference between publicity for
Bob Hope and publicity for
Sophia Loren.
Question of the day at the
White House: What ever hap
pened to that city official in
Newport, R.I., who was buzzing
about the harbor in secret, drop
ping choice morsels of bait at
selected spots to attract fish for
the President? This was going
on when the President was ex
pected to go to Rhode Island the
second week of August.
By now, the Newport fish
must be rather well fed and the
official must be out of lots of
bait. The fish truly will have
the last laugh if, when Eisen
hower goes to Rhode Island next
week, he decides to pass up salt
water fishing and concentrate
on golf.
