Cyclone Kills 18 Persons In Australia Today New South Woles Suffering Worst Flood In History SYDNEY, Australia VP — A cyclone which killed 18 to 20 persons, caused $2,250,000 in property damage, and brought New South Wales its worst floods in history veered out to sea today. The storm left thousands homeless and in need of food and medical supplies. Telephone lines were knocked out. Rail and road transportation were cut. Sewerage, electric and gas facilities were disrupted in places. All communication with the north ceast was severed, with only amateur radio operators maintaining contact from the stricken area. 'Hundreds of thousands of square miles were affected. Homes were wrecked, bridges smashed, thousands of head of cattle destroyed, and many acres of valuable grazing land ruined. Police used small boats and army ducks to rescue hundreds of stranded persons. Others waited patiently for planes of the Royal Australian air force to fly in badly needed emergency supplies. Floodwaters reached as high as the first floor balconies of a hotel in Lismore where Queen Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh stayed 10 days ago. (Landslides (blocked roads in and around the city and after 16 inches of rain fell in 24 hours. Ten persons were reported missing in one house which the swollen Richmond River ripped from its foundation and swept away. At Kyogle, north of Lismore, many houses were swept away by the flood waters, In some towns, surf lifesaving reels were used to rescue persons from house and barn-tops. The populations of whole towns were forced to flee as thfe racing waters rushed through their homes. Many, as in Lismore, took refuge without warm clothing on a mountain just outside town. (Meanwhile, from the southern portions of New South Wales there were reports of heavy rain and floods which threatened new havoc. But the intensity of this storfn was expected to abate,

Evangelist Makes Apology To Labor Billy Graham In Apology To British LONDON UP — Evangelist Billy Graham apologized today to the British Labor party for an alleged slur against Socialism but ran into new trouble from the Communist Daily Worker which hinted he was preaching capitalist doctrine. Oraham is aboard the liner United States and Is expected to land at Southampton Tuesday. He begins a “greater London crusade*’ at Harringay Sports Arena March 1 despite a bitter controversy in the pro-Labor press. The evangelist radioed his apology to the London Daily Herald which had trumpeted as a “foul lie" his alleged remarks that "what Hitler's bombs could not do in .demoralizing Britain Socialism witjijts accompanying evils, shortly accomplished.” , “. . . deeply regret situation . . . whlch without my knowledge or authorization," Graham radioed. “Believe full explanation your hands but if in addition ... you feel apology to Labor party needed you certainly have that, sir.” Part of that full explanation came earlier from Graham’s British sponsors. Gen. Donald chairman of Graham’s crusade executive committee in Britain, said a typographical error, since corrected, set off the uproar in which Graham was accused of “political interference.” He explained that the offensive expression appeared in a 1954 calendar prepared by Graham’s subordinates in the Billy Graham evangelical association in America. Graham, an opponent of Communism, referred to socialism with a capital “S.” Labor party members in Britain also refer to themselves so Socialists with a capital “S,” In Minneapolis, George Wilson, secretary of the association, said he was responsible because he inadvertently used the jvord “socialism’! instead of “secularism.” Wilson sent a cable to Geoffrey De Freitas, member of the house of commons, offering to appear in person to apologize. He said the calendar did not reflect on Britain or the Labor party and that it was published wtihout Graham’s knowledge or approval. The Daily Worker, taking advantage of the still-unsettled upheaval,

said today: "The Christian bodies of Britain who are sponsoring Graham . . . ought really to ascertain what gospel that voluble gentle man proposes to preach. “Is it the gospel of the Master who had 'nowhere to lay his head’ or is it the gospel of Wall Street and Texas oil millionaries?’’ Wendel Funeral Is Held This Afternoon Elizabeth Wendel Is Taken By Death Mrs. Elizabeth Wendel, 85, a lifelong resident of the Berne community, died Saturday at the Adams county memorial hospital, where she had been a patient 11 weeks.
