(Greenville News photo by Roger Yike.) Campaign Announced To Draft Billy Graham For President AMERICUS, Ga. (P campaign to draft evangelist Billy Graham for president was announced Friday by a former Texas cowboy preacher. The Rev.

Henry Mills, who once rode horseback from Macon, to California on an evangelistic mission, said he had telephoned Graham headquarters in Washington about the campaign. "They told me," he reported, "that they would not object. They said the evangelist, would not give his that he did not say he would not run." Mills, pastor of the small First Church of the Nazarene here, added that he plans to go to Washington where Graham is conducting a revival to discuss plans to push the internationally-famed preacher for the nation's top office. "It would be the greatest thing in the world," he said, "to have a Godly, able man like him to lead our nation." Mills, 51, is a native of Commerce, Tex. He is the father of seven children, two of them pastors like himself in the Church of the Nazarene.

He spent more than six months in 1952 on his crosscontinent evangelism tour. He refers to himself as the last of the circuit riders as a result of this protracted preaching tour. Butler Calls For 'Forthright' Rights Platform; Is Blasted MILWAUKEE, Wis. (UPI) National Democratic Chairman Paul Butler said Friday night the Democrats must adopt a "forthright and courageous" civil rights platform even if it means risking defeat in the presidential election. Butler, in Milwaukee to keynote the Wisconsin Democratic convention, said a walkout by Southern delegates and consequent loss of Southern votes November was definitely a possibility if the party's national convention adopts a strong civil rights plank.

But Butler added he was convinced a plank endorsing the 1954 Supreme Court decision on integration and containing several additional statements on human rights would be passed. "We cannot compromise principles in order to hold people in the party," he said. "No political party should fix its principles on what's the best votegetting position. We've got to stand up for what's best for all the people, win or lose." Butler spoke in a television interview which was taped for rebroadcast in the Milwaukee area Saturday. He said the Democrats would seek to make a national campaign issue out of foreign policy and incidents such as the U-2 spy plane and cancellation of President Eisenhower's trip to Japan, He charged the Republican adninistration bungled the U-2 incident by first denying it was a U.

S. plane, then calling it a weather observation plane, next admitting it was a spy plane, and finally saying the U-2 flights would not cease, only to turn around and state the planes would be stopped. BOGGS DENOUNCES BUTLER WASHINGTON (UPI) Rep. Hale Boggs (D-La) denounced Democratic National Chairman Paul M. Butler Friday for recent remarks about how Catholics 4-H Officers To Be Elected At Greenwood By STAFF CORRESPONDENT GREENWOOD New officers of the Greenwood County 4-H Council will be elected Saturday night at the annual 4-H spring rally in Bradley.

The five officers will be named in an 8 p.m. business session which follows a 5 recreation period and a 6 p.m. picnic supper. A talent show and a projects demonstration will also be held during the business session. Red, blue and white ribbons will be awarded in a dress revue, and an attendance award will be given to the club with the best percentage attendance, Assistant County Agent Elmer Olsen said Friday.

Joyce Bell of Callison Club will retire as president of the council as will Roy Armstrong of Walnut Grove, boys" vice president; Andrea Autrey of Callison, girls' vice president; Emma Williams of Fellowship Club, secretary, and Marshall Ridlehoover of Bradley, program chairman. The business session calls for Jane Rodgers of Callison to emcee the dress revue, and for Marshall Ridlehoover to emcee the talent show. Others on the program are June Jordan, Ann McFerrin, Jeanie Godfrey, Marion Jane Richter and Mrs. James Smith, leader of the Lebanon 4-H Club. might vote in the coming presidential election.

Boggs, a Catholic, told the House that statements such as Butler made at a National Press Club luncheon this week "may be very well assuring a wave of hatred misunderstanding" in the country. Boggs, who said he is a lifelong Democrat, read Butler's answer to a luncheon question about whether he thought many Catholics might vote Republican if Sen. John F. Kennedy (D- Mass) were denied the Democratic nomination. Boggs said Butler began his reply by describing himself first as "an American Catholic," and then "more properly as a Catholic American," and finished with these words: "I think you would find much less of a Catholic bloc vote for Mr.

Kennedy if he is nominated than you would find against the Democratic ticket if he is denied the nomination and comes into the convention with almost enough votes to win the nomination." Boggs said "this is an astounding statement. It is a frightening statement and it is a false After Strong Rights Stand Dixie Solons Express Distaste For Kennedy WASHINGTON (UPI)-Southern senators used only a few words Friday to express their distaste for Sen. John F. Kennedy's promise of a strong civil rights program. Kennedy, front -runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, wooed the Liberal Party in New York City Thursday by saying he was not shopping for southern delegates support and therefore would not be hindered in carrying out a strong civil rights program.

Sen. Herman E. Talmadge (D- Ga.) considered by many the most politically influential of the southern senators, said it was "an ominous statement." Pressed for further comment, Talmadge, who has endorsed Senate Democratic Majority Leader Lyndon B. Johnson said his statement "speaks for itself." Sen. Olin D.

Johnson who had urged his state and the rest of the South to go to the convention uncommitted, said: "Those in the South who considered voting for Kennedy certainly have been put on the spot. It makes me free to say that I will not support him (Kennedy) on this account, if for no other Strikers At Newberry Are Returning To Jobs By MRS. A. H. COUNTS NEWBERRY It appeared that a two week-old strike at Newberry Mills had been settled Friday as the approximately 300 striking workers began returning to their jobs.
