Seventh Commandment
Is Most Sinned Against,
Says Billy Graham
NEW YORK, Evangelist Billy
Graham says adultery is the
great sin of the nation.
Americans are breaking the
Seventh Commandment, he said,
“not only by act but by looks,
thoughts, reading df obscene mag
azines, listening to obscene stories
and repeating them.”
“Not just the overt act but the
intent will be judged by God,”
he added.
Graham addressed 14,000 per
sons in Madison Square Garden
Friday night in the 77th night of
his New York Crusade.

Woman, 2 Kids
Killed by Train as
Husband Watches
HURON, Ohio, Uft—A speeding
traM hit a baby, carriage here
Friday, killing a woman and two
children, while her husband and
three other children watched.
The dead were Mrs. Ernest
Eall, 42; Mary Ann, 3, and Ruth
Arlene, 8 weeks, all of this Lake
Erie resort and fishing town.
‘‘We figure that when she
heard the train she tried to turn
the baby carriage around and the
wheel got stuck in one of the
crossing planks,” said Police Pa
trolman Sylvester Duty.
Mrs. Ball was taking her five
children across the six-track
crossing to where her husband
was helping a lriend wash his
automobile.
New York Central’s Chicago-to
Cleveland mail express and pas
senger train was moving at the
limit of 80 miles an hour when
the engineer saw Mrs. Ball and
her brood crossing the tracks.
The engineer applied the brakes
but it was too late. Just before
the collision, one child-—Mary
Ann—ran to her mother’s side

2,060,000 Disabled Vets
WASHINGTON, (Jt—The Sen
ate has approved benefit increas
es of about $170 million a year
for some 2,000,000 disabled veter
ans and their dependents.
The measure, shouted thru the
Senate Friday night, mow goes
back to the House for considera
tion of some minor Senate amend
ments. The House passed the bill
unanimously May 13.
The increased payments, which
would be effective in 30 to 60
days, raise the total disability
rate from the present $181 month
ly to $225.
A 10 percent disability pay
ment would rise from $17 to $19,

$100, 80 percent disability from
$145 to $160, with six hikes in
other categories.

and was killed too.
Mrs. Ball’s husband looked up
when he heard the screech of the
train’s brakes, but there was
nothing he could do.
Family Held
Hostage in Home
By 3 Gunmen
CANTON, Ohio WPI—Three gun
men surrendered to police Friday
night after a barrage of tear gas
forced them from the house
where they had held a family of
six as hostages for over 24 hours.
Several random shots at the
more than 100 policemen who
ringed the home were fired by
the men before they surrendered.
There were no injaj|ies.
The three gunmen took refuge
in the home of Homer Fenste
maker at nearby’ Louisville after
robbing a grocery store and
shooting a policeman. When po
lice discovered the Fenstemakers
were held captive by the robbers
they surrounded the house.
The youthful bandits threat
ened to kill nine-year-old Peggy
Lou Fenstemaker if police fired
on them. One telephoned the
sheriff’s office at Canton with
threats that the wpmen in the
house would be harmed. None
was injured.
After a two-hour siege the ban
dits surendered. It was an arm
ored car that convinced them.
Cantbn police backed their shield
ed car up to the house and shout
ed an ultimatum. It worked.
Just before the surrender one
of the robbers handed a roll of
bills to 1^-year-old Connie Fen
stemaker. It proved to be $306.
“Here, take this. We won’t need
it,’’ he said.
Loughran Will Referee
Patterson-Rademacher
Championship Match
SEATTLE, (#)—Tommy Lough
ran of Philadelphia, former light
heavyweight champion, will ref
eree the Floyd Patterson - Pete
Rademacher world heavyweight
title fight here Aug. 22.
There will be no judges and
Loughran will be in complete
charge, using any scoring system
he desires. Normally the state
Athletic Commission designates
two judges to score a fight along
with the referee.
The ex-champion won his
crown back in 1927 by defeating
Make McTigue. Two years later
he vacated the title to campaign
as a heavyweight and closed out
his career in 1937 with a victory
over Sonny Walker. Now 55,
Loughran is active-as a referee in
the east.
