As a matter of fact, Anderson has his name tagged to the Mississippi reef he located in that field. Griffto Anderson Reef. A. L. GARY, a psychologist at the University of Tennessee, calls Anderson "The Reincarnated Prophet," and one of the world's grealest living psychics in a book he has written about Ihe mysterious man from Rossville, Ga.

As a matter of fact, it would take a book to chronicle all the leats Anderson has compiled In his long life span. All of which he said are documented by affidavits of those who have participated in, and have been a part of, his mysterious feats. Anderson said he is one nf the few persons in the world possessed of Stigmata, more commonly called bleeding of Ih hands. Anderson said lie used this phenomenon in locating the Danley Barnes field.

SO, WITH an old worn out a Congress Returns Divided on Nixon WASHINGTON (AP) Congress wect back to work on Wednesday after a month long summer recess, and the reaction of mtniters. to President Nixon's' criticism of their performance this year split fairly distinctly along party lines, Nixon's announcement that he would send Congress another State of the Union message drew the most criticism, especially from Dumocrals. "1 don't blame him for wanllng another State o( the Union message because the first one was very disappointing," said House Speaker Carl Albert, Okla. The grealest degree of accord appeared (o be on Nixon's pledge to try to work more closely with Congress in the coming months. That rledge, Nixon said, was In response lo a suggestion House Democratic Leader Thomas O'Neill of Massachusetts.

After the Pre I 's news conference, O'Neill disclosed that he had Waived a call from Nixon's Bleeding Hands Prove Astounding ear, and greatly in debt, Shaw visited Anderson's office and persuaded him to come to Texas wilh him and "walk over" the lease. In the process af checking out the lease, Anderson began to walk at random over the lease, according to Shaw, and finally sail, "Did you say you were looking for the oil bearing Mississippi reef?" Aiter being assured once again by Shaw that was what he was looking for, Shaw said, "Anderson told mc this was the spot, he 'froze' right on the spot, held his arnis straight out in front, wilh palms down, and became as rigid as a two by All of sudden, small drops of blood appeared on the palms of both liands, and began dripping to the Shaw said, "Anderson then totd me 'this )s the spot, drill We did, and we got oil, and are continuing to get oil at every location he spats for us."

Andeison's "readings" are domestic affairs adviser, Mel vin R. Laird, who tentatively arranged a meeting at the While House for early next week.

"He (Nixon) can give a little and we can give a liUle," O'Neill said. House Republican lnder Gerald R. Ford nf Michigan said he thought Nixon handled himself extremely well during the news conference. "I'm pleased the President indicated the executive branch wnuld work with Congress trying lo get these things he said. Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield of Montana disagreed with Nixon's statement that congressional action this year Is "a dlssapolntlng performance so far." "I think Congress has done a pretty good, workmanlike job," Mansfield said.

"We've moved ball over the goal lino several times. And Ihe game isn't over yet." However. Albert listed for newsmen a list of priority bills not made with cards. Anderson said, "I don't see a person's spec! lie past experiences througli astrology, nor do I see his future through astrology. An individual's past, present, and future contained In his Andersun said, "I receive, my visions through meditation and concentration." While in Eastland, Anderson demonstrated his immense power of concentration by shattering a thin, long stemmed champagne glass through "Draught projection." Anderson also demonstrated this "power" in August, 1964, for photographer John Gcfnrth of the Chattanooga News Free Press, and has pictures to prove it.
