pleasant. During a recent

Montreat, N.C.-H!PD-Evange-list
Billy Graham said here
that the U.S. Supreme Court
decision banning official state
prayers in public schools is
"another step toward secular
Ism in the United States."
The North Carolina evange
list, resting at his home here
after his recent Chicago cru
sade, said the decision "it a
most dangerous trend" and
comes at a time when Ameri
can youth Is in "need of moral
and spiritual Influence as
never before."
Graham said that If the de
cision were followed to Its
logical conclusion, "prayers
will not be said in Congress,
chaplains will be taken out of
the Armed Forces and the
President will not place his
hand on the bible when he
takes the oath of office."
He said the decision is
"enough to make the framers
of the constitution turn over
in their graves. They meant
we would have freedom ot
religion and not freedom
from religion."

In this list was the case of
Alfred J. Haen, 43, who dis
appeared Oct. 9 in the water
off Ocean Ridge, Boca Raton,
Fla. His body, mullliated by
sharks, was found four days
later. But there was no way
to tell whether he was alive
when attacked.
In a separate category, the
panel reported sharks may
have killed scores of victims
of air and sea disasters last
year. But as in the case of
Haen, a spokesman said, it
was impossible to determine
whether the sharks attacked
before or after the death of
their prey.

jured in unprovoked shark at
tacks last year compared with
23 in 1980 and 21 in 1959.
