Graham Reports London Crusade Finances

American evangelist Billy Graham told 12 000 attendees in London that offerings during the first six weeks funded his three month campaign. Crusade treasurer A G B Owen said no offerings would be taken that evening while regular offerings resume later to build a new fund for British evangelistic work. Initial help from Americans and Canadians aided the halfway goal and Graham announced Easter weekend services including a Hyde Park rally. Meanwhile police in Los Angeles held Marion Toler on suspicion of auto burglary tied to stolen books and a log book of mug pictures from an undercover car.
