Evangelist’s son considered

Graham’s successor sought
United Press International
HOUSTON — The organiza-
tm headed by Billy Graham, 63,
of the most powerful evangel-
preachers in the world, is plan-
ig for the day the preacher will
|o longer fill the pulpit — but
[ding an heir to his $30 million
;anization hasn’t been easy.
In an interview, Graham said
brother-in-law, evangelist
iighton Ford, had been
lined to succeed him, but it is
longer the case.
“I felt Leighton might do that,
t Leighton has more or less quit
ades, Graham said. “He
Is a few small ones a year, but
has become sort of a world reli-
strategist and leader and is
under consideration for the pres
idency of Wheaton College in
Wheaton, Illinois.
“There are some that think my
son, Franklin, may someday be
the man. That was brought up at
the (board meeting in Dallas) be
cause he has my name and is being
ordained in January'.
“He has his own organization
which he has built from scratch.
He is a very powerful speaker and
Bible teacher and is very author
itative in the pulpit. He has a pre
sence about him. ” Graham’s son is
28.
While the search continues for
his successor, Graham celebrated
his birthday Saturday.
He said he has no plans to re
tire, but during a recent Dallas
meeting of the Billy Graham
Evangelistic Association Board
the directors discussed the future
of the organization after him or in
the event he had sudden health
problems.
Graham said: “I told them I am
in the best health of my life and I
feel I can go on for several more
years. ’’ He said, however, he was
no longer in the corporate setup
and has turned daily corporate
operations over to the board.
“They wonder whether they
will be able to carry on crusades or
have enough money coming in to
pay all these bills, like for the mo
tion pictures and television and
everything,” Graham said.
Allen Emory, president of the
Minneapolis-based religious cor
poration, said leaders of the group
have two options when Graham
dies.
Under the first option, Emory
said, “There are those who feel
that maybe at a certain point we
ought to close it and merge it and
give the assets to some charitable
group or some other group that’s
doing similar work.”

MIAMI — Zookeepers say
whoever stole three Mexican
beaded lizards and five boa con
strictors from the Crandon Park
Zoo in Dade County may have
gotten more than he bargained
for.
Zoo curator Bill Ziegler esti
mated all eight animals, stolen
late Friday or early Saturday,
are valued at about $5,700.
The beaded lizard — cousin
of the gila monster — is poiso
nous and three of the snakes are
Cuban boas, he said.
Metro Detective Bruce Wil
liams said of the beaded lizards:
“Unless you know how to hand
le them, they’ll latch onto you
and won’t let go. You’d have to
break the jaws to get it off. In
the meantime they’re pumping
hemotoxic venom into the
blood.”
Under the second option, he
said, “There are others who feel
there are young men coming on
whom God is honoring and bles
sing, and they would be able to
carry on.”

^ the briefness of the recruiting
I riod is partly to blame for a 50

ike class at the Air Traffic Con-
trol Academy.

y ms scheduled to begin radar
(uning segments of the four-
mmrtt course, spokesman Mark
Weaver said Sunday.
“This is not totally unusual,”
Weaver said. “We’ve had it hap
pen in prior years.”
He said officials expect the fai
lure rate to drop at the school,
which is shouldering much of the
burden of replacing some 12,000
controllers who went on strike
Aug. 3 and were fired.
“A quick look at the next class
indicates it is going to have a lower
failing rate than this one,” Weaver
said.
Usually only about 25 percent of
the trainees flunk out. Officials
hope a new pre-entrance examina
tion introduced in October will do
a better job weeding out candi
dates who “‘aren’t quite up to par,”
Weaver said.
“When they reach the point of
having most of the non-radar
training and don’t make a certain
passing grade of 70 percent, they
are washed out,” he said.
Weaver said the academy just
happened to get a particular group

: GI’s most persistent woes —
: terrible taste of dry milk.
Ohio State received $83,542 to

jple in Army, Navy, Air Force
d Marine Corps diets. The
•my alone uses 100 million
funds of dried milk a year.
Dr. David B. Min, assistant
ofessor of food science and nut
rition at Ohio State, said: “Milit
ary personnel, particular those in
subs, have trouble with nutrition
because there are no places to
store milk.”
he said.
Dry milk can be stored easily
and has the same nutritional be
nefits of regular milk, but it tastes
pretty awful, Min said.
“Oxygen reacts with the com
ponents to dried milk to form bad-
tasting flavor compounds such as
lactones, aldehydes and ketones,”

percentages were concerned, but
the situation was not considered
critical.
The first class is scheduled to
graduate in mid-December and
move to on-the-job training at air
ports across the country, Weaver
said.
More than 1,200 trainees are
currently taking courses in three
round-the-clock shifts at the
academy, and officials hope to
have 1,600 students by the end of
the year.
Min said researchers plan to eli
minate oxygen from dry milk by
injecting small amounts of hyd
rogen, which will react with the
oxygen before the oxygen reacts
with the milk.
The same process was used with
potato chips by Ohio State resear
chers who wanted to get rid of the
undesirable taste that potato chips
have after they have been on a
store’s shelves too long, Min said.
