somewhat similar to the United
States F100s. None of the more

The Communists Navy
The Chinese Communist navy
consists of about $50 ships of all
types-20 submarines, half Of
which are long-range types, four
old Gorki-class destroyers, four
destroyer-escorts of the latest
Riga class, 18 Kronstadt-class
patrol boats, so mine layers, l6
landing ships. tank lists,
large force Of atrol-torpedo boats,
and a miscellaneous collection Of
one-time Japanese freighters.
Thus, the 75.000-man Chinese
navy has almost no large often
sive capability. though it does
have harassment value.
Some published sources credit
the Chinese with two cruisers, but
the United States Navy says these
cruisers" are nothing more than
unusable hulks.
A naval officer commented that
"the Chinese navy does not rep
resent a threat to the United
States 7th Fleet. We have all
most never spotted a Red Chinese
warship south Of the naval base
at Hangchow. They stay out Of
the waters patrolled by the 7th
Fleet"
The shortage Of LISTS, he said,
indicates that the Red Chinese
have never thought seriously Of
invading Nationalist-held For

NAIROBI, Kenya. - Evangelist
Billy Graham, who will stage an
eight-day Washington crusade"
in June, recently finished . three
month African speaking tour
which took him to IL countries.
His sermons, translated into l8
languages, were heard by an esti-
mated 600,0 900 Africans. 10000 Of
whom made declarations for
Christ"
DR.. Graham's continent-strad-
ding tour took him from Dakar
(Africa's closest point to BraziD
to Adds Ababa, capital of Red
Sea-lapped Ethiopia. from Bula-
wayo, on the marches of apart
held, to Cairo, brain-center Of
Pan-Arabism. The North Carolin-
ian did not speak in the Union Of
South Africa because he refuses
to hold the segregated meetings
which Afrikaner political theory
requires.
But so predikants Of the Dutch
Reformed Church, denomination
of the architects Of apartheid,
flew to Southern Rhodesia to pay
their respects to the Southern
Baptist minister.
The crusade could not be de-
scribed as uneventful. DR.. Graham
almost fell into the crocodile
infested Zambezi when the pole Of
a litter in which he was riding
broke. NationalistS heckled him in
the copper town Of Chingola,
Northern Rhodesia, and a Muslin
fanatic in this city challenged
him to combat-by-prayer to see
who could restore the health Of
80 certified incurable hospital pa
tients. DR.. Graham did not answer
the challenge. After his meeting
in Kisumu (Kenya) the 41-year-
old evangelist was apparently
cursed" by a trio of native witch
doctors. But it was later learned
that this contretemps was a hoax
staged by a Nairobi newsman.
White Import
Africa was the last continent to
hear DR.. Graham. He has made
extensive tours of North and
South America, Europe, Asia and
Australia, and it was by no
means the easiest. Christianity,
like communism, labors under the
burden of being a white mans
import, hence is viewed by many
Africans with suspicion. The COL
lapse of colonialism has been
linked with a parallel decline of
Christian prestige and q revival
Of animism.

Elephants in the Presidents War
Relief Fund were church-affiliated
At the wars close, however, the
use was chartered as an indie
pendent non-denominational serv-
ice organization. Its name was not
changed because the work of the
wartime Unitarian Service Com
mittee had become so well known.
Whether it works in the areas
Of civil liberties, medicine, COM
munity development, social work
or education the use adheres
scrupulously to its non-sectarian
nature. It's medical teams are re-
cruited from all nationalities and
from all faiths, the only require
ment being that Of outstanding dis
tinction in the field Of medicine.
In its worldwide program the
use responds to requests for CO.
operation from those who wish to
learn how to help themselves until
they become independent and can
take over their own program"
