Graham Sees Mon
On Eve of Paradise
SAN DIEGO, Calif. (UPI) —
Evangelist Billy Graham, told an
opening crowd of 12,000 persons in
Balboa Stadium that the New York
World’s Fair was an “indication
that man is on the threshold of
paradise.”
But, he warned, his sinful nature
is stumbling to the realization of
that dream.
“Psychiatrists are beginning to
realize that man has a disease. The
Bible calls the disease sin. The
Bible says we are all infected and
that sin ultimately causes death,"
Graham said.
“One of the basic problems that
science and psychology have never
solved is the problem of human
iniquity.” Man must be “born anew
by the total surrender of the per¬
sonality of Jesus Christ,” said
Graham.
An estimated 350 persons came
foreward at the end of the evan
gelist’s sermon.

“I want you to get a

“He is the author of our
bill that is going to remake

Vital to Towns
U Without its newspaper,
small town would be like a
without a teacher, a church
out a pastor or a home without
mother. In the aggregate, tihe
ly newspaper determines the
come of more elections, exerts
greater influence for
community progress and is read
longer by more members of the
family than any other periodica)
publications. Through service to
its community the country weekly
will not merely survive; it will
continue to flourish as the most
reprsentative, mo-st distinctive,
most wholesome type of jorunalism
America has produced.”

Lower Appalachia
PRESIDENT LYNDON Johnson has
come and gone on a survey of
poverty in Appalachia (and an as
sessment of his political chances
in the South).
Concerning the latter, we say
they are excellent. In fact, we pre¬
dict that barring accidents, the
country is going to need a good,
two-party system after Mr. Johnson
gets through with it next Nov. 7.
Seldom has such a consummate
politician been seen in these parts
as this President, and we have pro¬
duced some real consummate types
ourselves.
As for Appalachia, it is not the
only part of the country which
needs help, nor is it possible to
exactly define its borders.
But the Georgia mountain coun
are listed. The -cure is simple
to those close to the scene.
Extend the Blue Ridge Parkway
right through the middle of this
part of lower Appalachia. Then be
liberal with the kind of boondoggle
money that goes for the develop¬
ment of golf courses and other
resort facilities.
Come hot weather, Lower Appa¬
lachia will be so crowded with
people from the hot flatlands that
its inhabitants will be able to go
South for the winter. — Editorial

LBJ Took His Advice
About What to Say In
Georgia, Russell Says
JEKYLL ISLAND, Ga. Presi
dent Lyndon B. Johnson apparently
took some of the advice of Sen.
Richard B. Russell in dealing with
the touchy civil rights issue during
■his visit to Georgia.
This was revealed Friday by Sen.
Russell as he waited to make one
of two speeches in the Brunswick
area.
The Senator, who flew to South
Georgia from Washington Friday
morning, asked if President John¬
son had said anything about civil
rights in Atlanta.
His press secretary, William
Bates, replied: “He talked about
support of the Constitution.”
Sen. Russell remarked with a
smile, “I gave him that. He asked
me what to say to get around this
civil rights (issue while visiting in
Georgia). I told him to talk about
constitutional rights. Nobody can
argue with you about that, but they
may argue with what you say.”
JayC€€S Hear, Cheer
Russell Attack On
'Civil Wrongs' Bill
JEKYLL ISLAND, Ga., May 8 —
Senator Richard B. Russell received
a thunderous reception from the
Junior Chamber of Commerce here
today as he blasted away at the
civil rights bill and urged an all
out voter registration drive in
Georgia.
The senior Senator, keynoter of
the state Jaycee Convention here,
said Senate foes of what he term¬
ed the “civil wrongs” bill face an
uphill fight but will not slacken
their opposition because of politi¬
cal intimidation or threats.
“I cannot tell you how this bat¬
tle will end — or when it will end,”
he said. “But I can assure you of
one thing: Those of us who are
dedicated to the cause of Consti¬
tutional government — those of us
who believe, as you do, in a govern¬
ment of laws rather than of men
— will fight to the very last again¬
st this perversion of bur free enter¬
prise system.
Russell was widely cheered and
appaluded by the almost 1000 Jay
cees and their wives from all over
Georgia. The entrusiasm of the Jay
cees was evident when they broke
into Congressman Russell Tuten’s
introduction with a cheering, stand¬
ing ovation that lasted several
minutes.
39 Indicted In
Suburbia Sex Scandal
MINEOLA, N. Y. (AP) — House¬
wives, bartenders and restauran
teurs are among 39 persons indicted
on charges of being part of a Long
Island call-girl ring that recruited
suburban housewives and mothers
as prostitutes.
Also indicted Tuesday by a Nas¬
sau County grand jury were a
former county policeman and the
reputed madam of the $200,000-a
year ring, Concetta McAlister, 35,
divorced mother of three, of Hicks
ville.
She also was accused of grand
larceny for allegedly taking $6,523
in welfare payments while earning
nearly $30,000 from prostitution.
The sex-in-suburbia scandal broke
last February with the arrest of
13 women. Dist. Atty. William Cahn
called them “typical housewives
,who live in split-level houses in
suburbia.”
Cahn said other “housewives
prostitutes” were granted immunity
from prosecution in return for
testimony. The grand jury heard
400 witnesses.
The 181-count indictments also
charged 10 corporations, inculding
Val Anthony’s restaurant in Roslyn
Heights, the Tivoli Motel and the
adjacent Accent Lounge on the
Jericho Turnpike and the Raceway
Motel and the Gam Wah Chinese
restaurant in Westbury. All are
near Roosevelt Raceway, Westbury.
John Beck, 39, of Wantagh, who
resigned from the Nassau County
police force when the first arrests
were made, was charged with aid¬
ing prostitutes to solicit businesss.
He also was charged with neglect
of police duty.
Also indicted was Mrs. McAllis¬
ter’s brother, Frank Pizzo, of East
Meadow, N. Y., on two counts of
aiding prostitution and one count
of statutory rape.
