LONDON, Feb. 26.-The leader
Of the British Labor Party's

pressed with the sincere Chris
tianity" of American Evangelist
Billy Graham.
The comment was made in a
statement issued by Parliament
Member Godfrey De Freitas fol-
lowing a visit by Mr.. Graham to
the House of Common. Mr.. De
Freitas had demanded an apology
from the evangelist for an anti
Socialist remark in a calendar
advertising Mr.. Graham's three
month British tour.
Mr.. De Freitas said Mr.. Ora
ham apologized for the text.
which stated that British
churches had been emptied by
socialism" The evangelist pre-
viously had explained the word
should have been "Secularism."
Mr.. Graham said he appreci-
ated that many British Socialists
are ardent Christians. Mr.. De
Freitas said it was clear from
Mr.. Graham's knowledge of Brit
ish life and British politics that

sent his present attitude toward

I'm the first place I have al

possible third.

err the defendants desired to GO
to Russia to live. The second

I could arrange 1t.
1.-The third possible if related
to whether or not Russia would
accept them. This I doubt, be-
