$500 Turn Out to Hear
Billy Graham in Paris

PARIS, June 6 up. - Some
$500 Parisians flocked to a sports
arena last night to hear Billy
Graham launch his five-day,
back -to-the- Bible crusade in the
French capital.
The 37-year-old North Caro-
lima minister said the opening
session in the great Velodrome
d'Hiver went beyond all expec-
tation." A total of 623 persons
walked down the aiSles to make
their decisions for Christ"
The velodrome, Paris Madison
Square Garden, can seat between
$4,000 and 10000, but the huge
stage and podium set up for Mr..
Graham, plus a curtained-off
area, cut sharply into the seat
ing space.
MIR. Graham spoke for half an
hour. He paused at the end of
each phrase while the Rev.
Jacques Blocher relayed his mes
sage in French through a battery
of microphones.
Behind the blond American
were a grand piano, an electric
organ and a 400-voice French
choir.
Basing his sermon on the third
chapter of John, l6 verse, Mr.
Graham declared:
THE whole world is hungry
for spiritual reality. I believe a
spiritual awakening in Paris will
have a tremendous impact on the
entire world"
Mr.. Graham said he had not

Fact 2: He was Asser Levy,
fierce opponent of Peter Stuyves-

right to serve in the militia, and
also for admittance of Jews to the
burgher right, which he claimed
he had enjoyed in Holland. He
was the first Jewish large prop

land in Albany and also on what
is now South William Street in
New York City. He often appear

wills by both Jews and Christians.
When a defense fund against the
British was being raised in New
Amsterdam in 1864, Levy contri-
buted one hundred florins. In Oc-
tober of that year, after the Brit
ish took the town, he was the first
Jew to pledge allegiance to the
British Crown. Having maintained
close relations with his Christian
neighbors, Levy lent the Luther
ans money for building their first
church in New York. At his death
in 1851, he was reputed to have

A major objective. DR.. Shapley

far from a vacuum. although its
contents still largely is unknown.
This will be aided greatly. he

several hundred compounds. The
cancer producer apparently is
formed when heat is applied to
the paper. They looked for some
thing that would inhibit this
formation. Some of the chemi-
Gals tested. containing sodium
and barium, they found, notably
increased the amount Of benz
|pyrene, tar. The only COM
pounds found materially to re-
|duce 1t were those which, when
heated. gave of ammonia. AM
imonium sulfamate was far ahead
of all the others. About dozen

To produce the effect. 1t was
stressed, it is necessary to treat
the paper itself and the reduc-
ton in the tar tends to fall of
after a year. The experiments
give little support to the value of
any filter. Benzpyrene also is
formed in burning tobacco, but
Ito a much smaller extent.
At the same time DR.. Alvord
and DR.. Carbon reported further
experiments which leave no
doubt that the substance formed
actually is benzpyrene. For some
time this was questioned by to-
bacco manufacturers because Of
the difficulty Of identifying with
certainty the minute amounts
supposedly produced.
Now. the two chemists said,
by a process of elimination they
have eliminated every other pos
sibility. The material will pro-
duce cancer when rubbed on the
skins of animals in small
amounts. Whether the amount
contained in cigarette smoke
would do so remains debatable,
On this point the Cleveland
chemists offered no suggestions,
holding that the question is en-
tirely for physicians and physi-
ologists.
