Race Purity Advocate
Heads Scientific Body

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (CNA)-
A danger signal of the growth of
spurious Nazi race purity theories
in this country was sounded last
week with the election of DR.. Ear
nest A. Hooton, Harvard professor
and race purity advocate to sue
coed DR.. Raymond Pearl of John
Hopkins University as head of the
American Association of Physical
Anthropologists.
DR.. Hooton advocated steriliza-
ton as a means of attaining rae
ial purity" at 3 public lecture held
here in connection with the annual
meeting of the association.
Sterilization of the unemployed
is also advocated by Professor Tho
mas Nixon Carver, leading lumin-
airy of the newly organized Repub-
lican Party brain trust in a recent
booklet. The booklet, privately cir
culated among big business lead
ers, is entitled what Must We Do
To Save Our Economic System ?"
One of Prof. Carver's conclusions
is that substantial people" must
organize politically for two pur-
poses: to end government regula-
ton of business and to keep the
underdog, white and Negro, cowed.
The booklet containing the Re-
publican brain-truster's crudely
stated fascist program, lists as
sponsors Harold L. Doolittle, chief
consulting engineer of the South
ern California Edison Co, Frank
L. Pratt, insurance official, and
Vice. President Ernest Carroll More
of the University of California at
Los Angeles. It is also understood
to have the endorsement of Will
liam Randolph Hearst, millionaire
publisher, and of the American Lii
berty League.

Woman Says Father
Divine Took Husband

NEW YORK (By Davis Lee for
AMP = Father Divine has alien
ated her husbands affections and
caused him to neglect her entirely,
Mrs. Miles, who lives at 100 W.
10th ST., told this correspondent
Monday.
Mr.. Miles started going out and
staying late about two months ago,
she said. Of course she thought
nothing of it although he had not
been accustomed to leaving her
like that. However, she decided
this week to call his attention to
this seeming neglect of her. When
questioned, according to the wife,
the husband told her that he has
been spending his time at Father
Divine's Kingdom and that he in.
tends to leave her and move to the
Kingdom where he can be with
Father.
From his actions, Mrs. Miles saic
her husband is losing his mind. He
has been eating his meals at the
Kingdom and "the food must GER
tainly be doped as his eyes appear
droopy and he acts just like dope
addict"
This writer visited the Kingdom
in an unsuccessful effort to inter-
view Father Divine anent the al
legation. One of his secretaries
who said her name is Sunshine"
informed us that Father was in
conference, and had no desire to
interview a Negro reporter; that
he is the God of all the people and
his interviews for the press must
go out to publications that are read
by all the people.
