(UPI) Eisenhower Willing j To Go To Jail for Cause of Farmers Disease Probably Is Carried Through Air New York - WPli - Mono nucleosis, a grippe-like dis ease, is probably airborne, the Medical and Pharmaceutical Information bureau reports. Epidemics sweep through schools and colleges. As a re sult, mononucleosis has been called the kissing disease. "Obviously, if it can be spread through the air, it can also be transmitted by kissing, but it isn't necessarily so." the bu reau said. Chicago-ilPP-Billy Graham preached to 33.500 person?1 Wednesday night during the ; open.g of his three-week Chi cago Crusade and team mem bers said 532 of them stepped forward to make "decisions for Christ." Members of the Graham team said it was the largest crowd to attend an opening night meeting. The services will continue nightly through June 16 in McCormick Place, and conclude in the huge Sol dier Field June 17. The response to Graham's invitation to "repent, and by faith receive Christ," was al most instantaneous after he had finished his 50-minule ser mon. Dotens Follow A man. holding his face with a handkerchief, his wife and their two children came forward immediately. Behind them came dozens, young and old, men and women, filling the area in front of the mam moth stage and the aisles leading to it. One was a young man in shirt sleeves carrying a tran sistor radio. Another was a stylishly dressed middle-aged woman who dabbed at her eyes. A young couple came together. "We've forgotten how to b'ush in America." Graham said, in quoting a ord from Jeremiah 6:13-16. his text. "The ins of Jtremiah's day parallel our own. The people live in open and flagrant sin with little . regard to moral ity." Rebels Without Cause Here in Chicago there are thousand? who are trying to escape the realities of life through alcohol, barbiturates, 1 amusements, materialism and even suicide." Graham said. "Many of our young people just getting out of school have j become rebels without a cause. This has become the age of the misfit. ( "Even though Chicago is one of the great cultural, edu-: cational and religious centers: of the world, the newspapers are filled with stories of ; crime every day. I "Chicago is a racial tinder-1 box." he said. j Graham said there is "no answer-except at the foot of the cross. You can't legislate ! love." he said. "It must come ; from the heart."

COFFEE DONUTS SOFT DRINKS BALLOONS SUCKERS rifrViii t?Om Washington -WPH- Former President Dwight D. Eisen hower was quoted today as offering to go to jail if neces sary to block government regi mentation of farmers. An Agriculture Department spokesman, in reply, said this not only would not be neces sary but that under the Ken nedy administration farm pro gram it would not be possible. Only civil penalties are pro vided for noncooperating farmers in the current Ken nedy farm bill, the spokesman said. Rep. Catherine May (R Wash.) said Eisenhower, now a Gettysburg. Pa., cattle grow er, told her he never took a cent of government money on his farm, and that "he would be darned if he just wouldn't rather go to jail than to sub mit" to the kind of control he said once was proposed by President Kennedy. Angry Reaction In a newsletter describing her talk with the former President at his Gettysburg office last week, along with a number of other GOP law makers, Mrs. May said: "Mr. Eisenhower expressed a very angry reaction to some of the original Kennedy farm programs because they con tained jail sentence penalties for farmers who refused to co operate. "After going into some de tail about how he had never asked for and never taken a cent of government money on his farm, he declared that if any of these proposed regi mented programs became law he would be darned if he just wouldn't rather go to jail than to submit. "At this point I said quite earnestly. 'General Eisenhow er. I think that is a splendid idea. If you would be willing to go to jail it would make a wonderful example to prove our point about control farm programs.' Roar of Laughter "For a minute he looked taken aback and then burst into a roar of laughter, in which we all joined, as he as sured me that he agreed it might be the best way to strike a blow for our cause, and he would be perfectly willing to submit himself for the experiment." Eisenhower's reference to jail terms for farmers appar ently was to a dairy provision in the original draft of a Ken nedy farm bill that since has passed the Senate and is awaiting House action. Under this provision, a dairy farmer failing to keep required rec ords could face criminal pen alties, including a jail term. The provision later was stricken by the administration and the whole dairy section subsequently was eliminated by House and Senate agricul ture committees. The bill as it stands is limited to grain j farmers. It provides tough ! acreage controls in return for I price supports. Farmers in na j tional balloting would decide whether to take part. A two-1 I thirds favorable vote would ! be needed. ' John C. Bagwell, general i counsel of the Agriculture De 1 partment, said the bill per I mits civil penalties - market ing fines - but provides no i criminal penalties or jail terms for farmers violating l control programs by exceed I ing their allotment, j Bagwell said this is the ; same system used in support programs for other crops like cotton and tobacco and that it has been in use since 1933. mm llll o o mop naturcy... io naturally it's betftr Piggy-Back Hike Record Claimed La Grande - HW - Six La Grande boys claimed a world's record for piggy-back hiking Wednesday, after carrying one of their number 28 miles.
