Manuel Rogue
Hits Vallll

CHICAGO - The Republican
publicity barrage was enlivened
last week by five-page attack on
Robert L. Vann signed by Manuel r.
Rogue, one-time publicity man for
the Pittsburgh editor and publisher.
Referring to Vann as "the gentleman
from Pittsburgh" Rogue, who takes
credit for creating the "Big Four"
of the '32 days, charges "Vann
has always wanted Ito hunt with
the hounds and ride with the hare"
Toward the end of his article Rogue
says, replying to Vann's front page
editorial in his paper recently:
"Your interest in the Negro if past
performances are criterion, is not
the desire to have in these United
States a happy community of citi-
zens. It is not the desire of the
Negro to participate without lot
or hindrance in the administration
of our government. It is not that
sublime achievement for which the
Negro has been striving for all
these years. But your interest in
the Negro race, which you seem
ingly desuise, is the selfsame inter-.
est that has caused empires to
crumble and their peoples to be en-
slaved. The interest you have
the only interest is GREED!
And now, Mr.. Vann, if we are not
right, will you kindly set us right z"

Probe Divirre'S
Cash; Find
"Key-Rillg

NEW YORK Father Divine has
won again! The probe of the Har-
lem Goods" cash, ordered by the
Supreme Court last week, produced
only a key ring in open court
when Attorney William w. Les
selbaum, in County Court Tuesday,
after a two hour quiz, asked Divine
pointedly, "Well, how much money
have you got with you right now 2"
Divine fished through his pockets
and at last held up the key ring.
Lesselbaum, red in the face, gave
up the case. He was seeking to
collect $7,724 in judgments obtain
ed against Divine after one of his
buses collided with an automobile.
Divine came to court dressed in
a symphony of brown, and was sur
rounded by attorneys and secretar-
les, but this time no angels. He re-
piled to all questions vaguely, and
with a sweet smile. He claims to
know absolutely nothing about the
financing of his numerous enter
prises, not even how he came by
the Rolls Royce in which he rides
frequently. Divine apparently
learned a lesson some months ago
when he went to court and display
ed a fine roll of bills before a
Judge, who promptly relieved him
of some Of the cash by a fine.
