The catch it's Confederate money. 1 '4 I I I I SAN FRANCISCO. Wl Billy Graham says he likes the sack style because "it takes the sex out of dress." The evangelist told a largely teen-age audience at last night's youth meetirg at the Cow Palace that the sack is "healthy for the morals of the country. I'm going to get my wife one." Biblical Samson as a juvenile delinquent, 1,025 per-Bablical Samson as a juvenile delinquent, 1,025 per sons walked forward to make "decisions for Christ." Most of them were young people, Graham's assistants said. A crowd of 18,100 crammed into the hall, with roughly a mile of cars turned away because free parking space was exhausted.

Graham said Samson was "God's delinquent" because "he had a parental problem and a romantic problem. He sinned and sin blinded Samson then God forgave Samson and restored his strength. He can forgive you and restore you to your proper place in life." BLAME PLACED The evangelist said there is more juvenile crime because parents don't live up to their responsibilities and children have too much leisure time. Graham departed from his sermon to advise his audience not to blame South Americans for the stoning of Vice President Richard Nixon yesterday in Lima, Peru. He said this sort of thing was engineered by a well-organized minority and that most South Americans are not against the United States.

"I feel we are being let down," said Parrish. He said the board had given the contractors five weeks "to straighten out their difficulties" but little apparently had been accomplished. Parrish said he wants a "decision in its entirety" by the board.

Calvin, who I a contract tor, cautioned that the board "should think this over very carefully before we even comment on it." Dessenberger declared "it's our duty to get these schools rolling" and said the board has a "moral obligation to. the school system." Lowery told "the board that "many contractors are continuing with their work in varying degrees of efficiency," pointing out that in some cases work had halted completely while in others some or all trades were on the job. 20 PICKETS There are about 20. pickets on the school job. Their effect is hard to assess because other crafts have formed no uniform policy about honoring the lines.

The Carpenters Union officially disclaims any respon-bility. Negotiations between the the union and builders ended March 24 and no effort has been made since to settle the dispute. 7 The unio'n is asking $3.20 an hour for journeymen carpenters.

In a bill sent to the House for debate next week, it recommended that the State Department get along on $192,859,353 and the USIA on $101,750,000 in new funds during the year starting July' 1. The President had requested $199,990,151 for the State Department and $110,032,000 for the USIA.

The committee allotment is $10,417,953 less than current year appropriations for the State Department and 000 more than the USIA, received this year.

It cut a token $780,000 from the $230,190,000 requested for the Justice Department and $699,600 from the $41,402,860 sought for the federal judiciary. 1 A formal report accompanying the committee's recommendations was devoid of the caustic criticism directed at the State Department and USIA in past years. UNOPENED POSTS f- The committee said the State Department had not proceeded with the opening of all of the new consular and reporting posts abroad for which funds had been appropriated last year.

It specifically earmarked an unspecified portion of 1959 money for opening 12 of these posts. i It questioned the advisability of State Department maintenance of a language school located In a villa on the Riviera at Nice, France. 1 But it found little else to criticize It approved $41,827,453 to meet annual membership obligations of the United States In international organizations. This Is $61,698 less than the President requested. Two Drivers Ruled Tipsy Court of Crimes juries this week convicted two men of drunken driving and Judge Thomas F.

More About MINERS Continued From Page 1-A spent our time just resting. We were singing and praying." The 24 were the entire work force on the 8 a.m.-3:30 pjn. hif yesterday.1 The water, which flooded part of the mine and cut them off, broke throueh about 1 jamming the passageways with debris.

It came from a pond in mountain hollow, on the surface above the underground workings. Refuse-laden water from the mine coal washery is pumped into the pond, swollen by recent rains. Crawford L. Wilson, chief of the West Virginia Department of Mines, estimated it was only 50 to 75 feet through the mountain from the bottom of the pond to the nearest mine passageway. The breakthrough was at a point 2,000 feet inside the main entrance.

Twenty-two of the men were working 4.000 farther inside at an elevation 50 feet higher than the breakthrough. The mine entrance is at a level about 23 feet below the spot where the water poured through the roof. The trapped men probably owed their lives to a downhill slope away from them, which kept water from reaching the place they were working. When the break came, two men were on a mine motor hauling a load of coal cars toward the main entrance. They spotted the water and turned back to join the others and inform them of their plight.

Together, the 24 then made their way back some distance before picking a spot near an underground electric power substation to wait it out. For warmth they made an enclosure with plastic curtains, used in ventilation control, and -covered themselves with burlap.

Though reporters are barred' from all sessions, several members readily told reporters-rnot for quotation that 1 They favor prompt legis- lation to ease the depreciation allowance on new plants, machinery and equipment as an incentive to industry to invest in plant modernization and tooling-up for new products and processes.

2 Many also favor the lowering of excise taxes on autos, transportation and other depressed segments of industry, to prices within reach of more consumers. 3 A sizable bloc of industry believes that recovery from the recession may be farther away than summer or early fall," as Weeks has predicted. Several industrialists said they expect no appreciable upturn until early 1959. But others agreed with Weeks that the bottom already has been reached. i There was wide divergence of opinion among the corporation heads on whether the government should cut income; taxes.

A substantial number took the administration view that this would bring big fed- eral deficits for to come and invite worse inflation.

More About NIXON Continued From Page 1-A the outbreaks. Opposition papers already had criticized the government for failing to prevent similar but milder anti-Nixon demonstrations the day before. 7 The government also replaced the wreath Nixon had laid on the monument to South American patriot Jose San Martin, which demonstrators tore Nixon told newsmen he was deeply moved by apologies he received privately from Peruvians. When he left his hotel later, crowds applauded him as if to make amends. Nixon said he viewed the events at San Marcos, the oldest university in the Western Hemisphere, as a long-range defeat for the Communists "because a violent and vocal minority denied freedom of expression, without which no institution of learning can deserve the name Nixon had been warned that his visit to the Lima Univer sity might result In leftist-inspired violence but he went ahead.

A rock grazed his neck, and a TJ. S. Secret Service agent had a tooth chipped by a flying stone as students spat on the party and Jeered: "Nixon get out." Nixon shouted back: "Don't you want to hear facts?" But the mob shouted him' down and he left for Lima's Catholic University to meet with students there.

Attorney Elmer Scheele said the prosecution would produce competent evidence that the red-haired garbage hauler was sane.

COUPLES CONTRASTED Scheele Thursday presented the elements of the state's case against Starkweather, and drew a contrast between two young couples whose destiny brought them together in a scene of death in an abandoned school yard. On the one hand was the strange and unhappy Starkweather and his 14-year-old girl friend, Caril Fugate. On Jan. 27 they armed themselves with guns and ammunition, a knife and some hamburgers and set out for thrill. Starkweather admits he had already killed four people including Caril's mother.

Heading toward them were Jensen and his high school sweetheart, Carol June King, 16. They were next-door neighbors who had been going steady for six months. Fate drew the two young couples to a country road Markweather car bogged down in a snowdrift and Jensen and Carol, out driving in the evening, came across them carrying a rifle, a shotgun, a revolver and a hunting knife. Let Scheele tell the story. "Robert Jeasen stopped the car and asked if they were having trouble and if he could take them some place.

And Starkweather and Caril got into the car." The high school boy started to take them to a pay phone but Charlie made them keep driving and suddenly told them to go back to the school yard where he and Caril Ann had spent the afternoon in a storm cellar "getting warm." "when they reached the school yard, Charlie Starkweather and Caril Fugate ordered them out and marched them to the entrance of the storm cave," Scheele said. "Starkweather then ordered Jensen to go down into the storm cave. He was shot from behind six times. He fell to the bottom of the cave." Carol King was killed after ANYWAY, IT'S A JOB TOKYO.
