Evangelist Waits For Clearance
Albuquerque (--) Evangelist Billy Graham left Albuquerque for Los Angeles last night, still unsure whether his proposed visit to Korea will be permitted.
Jerry Beaven, Graham's executive secretary, will meet in Washington today with Defense Department officials to settle the question.
Graham said Saturday he had been denied permission to make the trip. The Defense Department explained he had been denied sponsorship of the Armed Forces Chaplains Board because of previous commitments.
The department said he could go to Korea to preach the gospel without the chaplains' sponsorship if he could obtain military clearance.
Graham said he would go to Korea "even if I have to go as a comedian."
