Evangelist Billy Graham
Hospitalized At Mayo
With Eye Trouble
ROCHESTER, Minn., OR—Evan
gelist Billy Graham was under
going further tests today as Mayo
Clinic specialists studied the ser
ious eye ailment that brought an
abrupt halt to the churchman’s
southern tour.
The survey included a general
physical examination to determine
possible cause of a ruptured blood
vessel behind the retina, which
ihas cut Graham’s vision 50 per
cent in the left eye. He said it
causes no pain.
An early diagnosis by the evan
gelist’s doctor father-in-law, Dr.
Nelson Bell, Montreat, N. C.,
called the malady both rare and
serious. Dr. Bell said the condi
tion had arisen from excessive
work.
Grady Wild, Graham associate
who had accompanied him here,
said no report was expected be
fore Friday.

Dulles Slams Russ
Proposals For Beilin
WASHINGTON, UP> — Scretary
of State Dulles said yesterday
Russian proposals for the future
of Germany are brutal and stupid
and fraught with danger to the
peace of Europe.
But he also said, possibly for
the first time, that German uni
fication might be accomplished by
ways other than through free elec
tions. He declined to elaborate.
Dulles left no doubt he expects
to take a very firm line on the
German policy issue when talking
with Soviet Deputy Premier Mi
koyan here Friday. After the
talks with Dulles, Mikoyan will
see President Eisenhower on Sat
urday.
Dulles said he hopes the talks
with Mikoyan may eliminate the
dangers of miscalculations and
accidental mistakes between the
Soviet and U. S. governments, but
he said the United States is not
negotiating with Mikoyan.

Woman For First
Space Traveler
OAKLAND, Calif., UP—A pass
ive, lonely woman may be the
first space pioneer.
Col. John Stapp, director of the
Air Force’s aeromedical laboratory
at Wright Field, Ohio, says re
I search shows that men “start
worrying about their families and
become aggressive and irrational”
too soon to stand a long and con
fining trip.
The longest a man has been
able to stay in a test chamber has
been 42 hours, the colonel told
the Alameda-Contra Costa Coun
ties Medical Association Monday.
But a single woman who tried,
he continued, lasted five days and
wanted out only after her food
was used up.
“This particular woman was a
passive personality and she had
no family or close friends to bind
her to vital, earthly concerns,”
he noted.

and could have been only playful
and seeking attention.”

Boy, 12, Wasn’t Fooling
With Pistol Holdup
DETROIT, Mich., UR — Waitress
Janet Bundy thought the little boy
was playing when he slammed
a gun on the restaurant counter
and demanded money Monday
night.
“I grabbed for the gun,” said
Mrs. Bundy, 20, of Detroit. “I
thought it was a toy. But the boy
grabbed it back first and fired a
shot into the floor.”
Now realizing it was the real
thing, she grappled with the boy
when he came around the counter.
“He broke awy and ran out of
the store swearing and cursing,”
she said.
She described the would-be
robber as about 12 years old. He
had two companions between 12
and 14, who fled with him.
Police recovered a .38 calibre
bullet from the restaurant floor.
