COLUMBU - Evangelist Billy
Graham said at the recent cru­
sade here: "I am very concerned
that so many yonng people are
turning away from the spiritual
valu and turning toward crime.
I think it is a tragedy that so many
of our youth are either killing
each other with handguns or rom­
mitting suicide. They are search­
ing for something, but they don't
know what it is. " Graham blames
the lack of a spiritual foundation
in America for the crisis.
