Graham's Crusade To Open
In San Francisco Cow Palace
By RICHARD M. HARNETT
United Press Correspondent
San Francisco TP Billy
Graham opens a crusade of
evangelism this Sunday here
in the Golden Gate city,
which he calls a "strategic"
objective in the battle be
tween sin and salvatic.
"A spiritual torch in San
Francisco," Graham told his
crusade workers "could have
a tremendous impact on the
world."
The crusade was booked for
six weeks in the huge Cow
Palace on the outskirts of
the city. Graham has an op
tion to extend it for two ad
ditional weeks. The climax
will be an open-air rally in
the 60,000-capacity Kezar Sta
dium, site of the, annual
Shrine East-West football
game.
The 39-year-old North Caro
lina preacher has had a squad
of trained "pro"' crusade
workers here since last No
vember. They are the same
skilled team that managed the
Madison Square Garden cru
sade last year and the Gra
ham Rallies in London, Glas
gow and Calcutta.
Many Volunteers
They have been recruiting
thousands of ushers, choir
members, counsellors, and
ministers to boost the crusade
in churches throughout the
area. The team also has been
trying to raise 5227,000 in
advance money to cover ex
penses.
Lowell W. Berry, treasurer
of Billy Graham San Fran
cisco Bay Cities Crusade, Inc.,
admitted that donations have
not been coming in up to ex
pectations. But "We have
" been able to pay all our bills,"
he added.
Another $179,000 in the
budget was anticipated from
voluntary contributions at the
Cow Palace. Besides expenses
of the crusade itself, Graham
needs 5360,000 to pay for six
nationwide television broad
casts that will take the Mike
Wallace time spot on Satur
day nights. He hoped TV
viewers would send in dona
tions also.
Spiritual Success Seen
However, Graham and his
workers were not concerned
primarily with the financial
success of the crusade. An
aide of the evangelist said
the outlook for spiritual suc
cess was excellent.
Three thousand prayer
groups have been organized
for the crusade, and prepara
tions were being made for an
organized follow-up campaign
