David Tyson, a member of the Stalnerker team, accompanied them on the piano, and Wally Brown from Oklahoma City played the organ. Shaw is Speaker Billy Shaw of Vidalia, captain for six years of the Buffalo Bills of the American Football League, was featured speaker for the special Concordia and Catahoula parish night. He told the audience that God has a forgiving heart and through many prayers turned his life around. During his testimony, Shaw warned his listeners against being "convicted of their convictions." "Everyday I find room for improvement in my Christain life," he said.

He asked for the prayers of his listeners as he begins football training that he might "shine as a Christian among my teammates." Scripture from II Timothy and 3 was the basis of Bisagno's sermon which he began by leading the congregation in singing "Onward Christian Soldiers." The 34-year-old evangelist's appeal was that boys and girls, young men and women and adults, would enlist in the army of Jesus Christ. At the close of the service about 100 persons went forward to make commitments. Throughout the sermon, Bisagno compared the U.S. Army and the Army of God. First he said, there is the need.

The problems of contemporary society can only be solved when the hearts of men are right, he said. "We tend to deal only with the symptoms and not the root." WASHINGTON UPI) The Johnson Administration says it intends to limit wiretapping to national security cases despite the broader eavesdropping authority Congress gave it in the omnibus crime bill. Atty. Gen. Ramsey Clark said Thursday wiretapping in ordinary criminal cases "leads to invasions of privacy," and "I think we can control, reduce, and, given the resources, eliminate organized crime and do it without wiretapping." The statement to a Senate appropriations subcommittee angered Chairman John L.

McClellan, who accused the Administration of "flouting" a law passed by Congress. "This Administration has never and will never flout the law," Clark replied. "What do you call it?" asked McClellan. Clark answered that Congress merely gave the Justice Depart ment authority to wiretap in criminal cases, not a directive to do so. "You are saying it is of no benefit to you that it is a detriment," McClellan persist ed.

Yes, replied Clark, adding he had "not seen a case where they are efficient." McClellan concluded that "it seems to me the Administration is saving to the American Louisiana News Briefs Wednesday in Belle Chasse. LEWIS J.

Gene Mearns NEW ORLEANS (UPI) I'll stake my reputation on it," said the new Negro president of Xavier University in Louisiana.

"What Negro students in colleges and universities want most is to become part of the American dream!" Norman C. Francis, 37, an attorney and a stockholder in the New Orleans Saints football team, was named Wednesday to replace a Caucasian nun as president of Xavier, a Roman Catholic University with a 90 per cent Negro enrollment. "Negro students want to enjoy the fruits of the American Dream, they want gainful employment, respect, and dignity," said Francis in an interview today. "He understands quite accurately that any man's place in society is dependent on the educational system from which he springs. "Therefore the young Negro student is in college working hard to present himself to the American public and to say: 'I want Xavier, in announcing Francis' appointment, said that it was the only predominantly Negro Catholic University in the Western Hemisphere now headed by a Negro.

Francis has served as Xavier dean of men, director of student personnel, assistant to the president and executive vice president.

Robinson and Mrs. Hamilton R. Duncan; and a people whose elected representatives found it necessary that no matter what the elected representatives and the Ameri can people think we are not going to use it." House Republican Leader Gerald R. Ford called Clark's statement "unbelievable." "He certainly ought to use the weapons which even the President's crime commission said are needed," Ford told a reporter. "It is unbelievable that the chief law enforcement officer will not use these tools against vicious criminals." The Administration fought the wiretapping provisions of the crime bill throughout its con gressional consideration, ar guing that the constitutionality of eavesdropping in criminal cases was questionable.

It particularly criticized the provision allowing local law enforcement officials to engage in it, despite the so-called safeguard of requiring prior court permission. Clark told the subcommittee the government is now conduct ing 38 cases of wiretapping all involving national security. He did not elaborate on their nature. He said wiretapping is used not to apprehend persons but to "fully protect the national security." Swim suit honors went to Miss Northeast, Susanne Saunders, a sophomore English Edu cation major from Shreveport. Miss Trudnak, a Monroe na tive, is Miss Northeast Cotton.

The Court Fight Seen Possible Over Congress1 Age Rules He urged the listeners to "Come alive!" and to "Wake up!" To sleep through these exciting, stirring, enthusiastic days is to sleep through the greatest opportunity in the world." Bisagno said the enemy of the Army of Christ is Satan, not the red dressed image from Greek mythology, but a tempter who appears in glamorous, appealing garb.

He challenged listeners who think it intellectually smart to disbelieve. "You can fight ideology with bombs," Bisagno said, "and tonight you have weapons in the arsenal of God." He said the weapons were prayer, daily fellowship with God and inspiration from the word of God. "You can't be drafted, you must enlist in the army," Bisagno said. With an organ background playing "Glory Glory Hallelujah," the minister told the story of World War II soldiers who died providing the key for Allied victory. "We need soldiers of the cross, disciplined rugged soldiers," the minister said as he challenged America to wake up.

After the crusade, Shaw signed autographs, and hundreds of people met Mrs. Stalnecker. Crusade officials said they were "quite pleased" with the Thursday night turnout. One of the reasons why Quality Appliance I says rariedrich New Atchafalaya Basin Bill is your best air conditioner buy By Akio Konoshima LONDON (UPI)-By Gad, sir, you can push an Englishman just so far. The 100 passengers at Victoria Station Thursday night had been pushed that far.

Waving their umbrellas, shouting for the blood of railway officials and led by a retired Army colonel, the passengers revolted. It marked the first stirring of popular discontent over the go-slow, no-overtime movement by 227,000 railwaymen seeking higher pay. "Bloody obnoxious" it was, according to the Victoria Station manager. The 100 passengers had gathered on the platform and boarded the 8:28 for Brighton, a coastal bedroom town for London commuters. But the train did not move out of the station.

Stiff Upper Lip Get off, please, said railway officials. The union slowdown had forced cancellation of the train one of thousands of cancellations which until now the British travelers had accepted with a stiff upper lip. But no more. "Stand fast!" shouted the afo mnacnrp Iprf hv t.t dnv. C.

Facing a mountain of bills with only two weeks left in the session, the House returned to work today after dropping plans to go home and return Sunday. The Senate is off until Monday. In legislative action Thursday: A prevailing wage bill passed the Senate 26-12 after supporters fought off crippling amendments.

It goes back to the House for concurrence in minor amendments. A bill to revitalize Louisiana's sweet potato advertising campaign with funds from increased taxes per crate passed the House. "The House voted 55 41 against placing Louisiana on Central Standard Time for the rest of the summer. A bill establishing methods of donating parts of the human body cleared the House 96-0. The Atchafalaya Basin bill drew only 31 votes in the House despite argument that opponents of the measure, including Aycock, were lining their own pockets.

The bill affects the 368,000 acres in the basin, which the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers is draining. Under present state law, the land would be divided among landowners in the area after drainage. Backers of the bill estimated oil and gas revenues from the area would eventually reach more than $1 billion, and argued that since the accretion would be man made the state should be able to retain mineral rights.

Opponents of the measure charged the state was attempt i colonel and his army of passengers realized the train would never leave Victoria Station. They would go all right but, first, the station officials would know they had had a fight. When the shouting passengers marched out of Victoria Station, led by the colonel, the station master described his lot to newsmen. "The public's attitude can only be described as bloody obnoxious. I'm not having gloves slapped in my face any longer or being threatened with violence.

Is in Senate ing a massive land grab by trying to change the property ownership law which has served Louisiana since statehood. "This is right. This is a land grab," said Rep.

Lillian Walker of Baton Rouge, who handled the bill, "but it's a land grab by about 15 large property owners. Why, gentlemen, this is bigger than the Teapot Dome scandal." Rep. William Boyd of Lake Charles charged that Aycock had a vested interest in opposing the bill, saying the lieutenant governor's law firm represented a number of the large landowners. Boyd also charged that Rep, Carl Bauer of Franklin, who accused the state of trying to steal the land, had a special interest in the outcome of the bill because his mother-in-law owned large acreages in the area. Higher Pension Vote Is Expected By FRANK ELEAZER WASHINGTON (UPI) (ty ponents of a pension boost for lawmakers promised today to seek a roll call House vote, which they said was their only chance.

The pension bill, cleared Thursday by the House Rules Committee, would increase con gressional pensions by one third. Defeated and retired House and Senate members would get annual stipends of about $1,000 annually for each year of their government service, up to a maximum of 80 per cent of their pay currently $30,000 and soon to be raised. Rep. H. It.

Gross, R-Iowa called the proposal an "affront to the American taxpayers" LAKE CHARLES, La. (AP)-A court fight is threatened by James H. Leger, 24, if the 7lh District Democratic Executive Committee refuses to certify him as a candidate for Congress on the ground that he is too young. Leger said Thursday he had been advised by State Atty. Jack Gremillion that he has a legal right to run for Congress, even if he is a few months shy of 25.

Former State Sen. W. J. Cleveland of Crowley and oth ers challenged Leger's candi dacy because he is 24 years old and would not reach the minimum age requirement of 25 until next May four months after Congress convenes. Jimmy Beyer, chairman of the executive committee, said a meeting will be held soon to discuss the case.

Leger, a Lake Charles plumb er, was born in Crowley May 23, 1944. He seeks to oppose in cumbent Rep. Edwin Edwards, in the August Democrat ic primary.

Gross predicted the bill's backers would try to slide it through the House without a roll call, but said he would do all he could to put members on the record for or against.

The bill's sponsors denied any intent to push the bill through in secrecy. They decried press accounts that it represented a "grab." The sponsors said opponents fail to note that congressmen pay for their pensions (10 per cent of their salaries, under the new plan, a contribution to be matched by the government). They claim the plan is actuarily sound and will cost taxpayers little. 1 Hi Our electric bill is hi (AM By Mikel Miller BATON ROUGE (UPI) -Backers of a bill to retain Louisiana's mineral rights in the Atchafalaya Basin turned their attention to an alternate bill in the Senate today after the House killed one bill Thursday.
