AFTER HEARING BILLY GRAHAM

Uncle Sam is $1,265 richer because four people got under conviction after hearing Evangelist Billy Graham. Some time ago he got five $100 bills with the request that they be forwarded to the Internal Revenue Collector.

In more recent days three others sent $765 tagged as “restitution for shortages” in past income tax reports.

“I have been a Christian, but I’ve backslidden,” said a Florida resident, who enclosed $500. “Partly through lack of knowledge and also from wrong advice from an accountant I did not pay certain taxes in full,” the letter went on. “But God hasn’t let me forget it. So I want to get the money I think I owe into the treasury....I hesitate to send cash to the internal revenue department lest it be a temptation to anyone into whose hands it might fall.” None of the letters was signed.
