Title: Billy Graham Crusade.
Description: 18,500 Jam Garden for Graham Crusade. New York--Some 18,500 persons jammed Madison Square Garden to hear Evangelist Billy Graham open his six-weeks New York crusade. The evangelist spoke for 45 minutes from a nine-foor platform erected at one end of the huge arena. He will give a series of Gospel sermons every night during the crusade. After his address at the 90-minute rally, some 485 men, women and teenagers approached the rostrum to make "decisions for Christ," the largest number to do so at the opening of any Graham crusade in this country. Mr. Graham was invited to come this city by the Protestant Council of the City of New York.

The placard-carrying demonstrators marched for 45 minutes in a City Hall Plaza area, then heard addresses by Mayor Robert F. Wagner, center, and Dr. W. Eugene Houston, left, a Harlem pastor who heads the presbytery's new commission on religion and race. The Mayor called for enactment of President Kennedy's civil rights proposals and pledged continuing efforts toward greater racial equality in New York City.
