SMELL ISLANDERS RACE III
ATTACK ON WAGE BILL

WASHINGTON, Dec. (Adam Lap
in for CNA).-Republican floor leader
Bertrand Fl. Smell of New York at
tackled the Wages and Hours Bill on
the House this week because it would
make 40-hour Accent per hour mini
mum possible for Negro workers
eff anyone thinks you can force the
Southern industrialist to give the less
efficient colored laborer 40 cents an
hour, you can't do it, he declared.
"You have as much chance of doing
it as of enforcing the 18th and 18th
Amendments"
Smell said that he was opposed to any
legislation at this time that places
further restrictions on business or
raise wages.
Republicans had been rumoring for
several days that they would shortly
explode bombshell in the form of a
speech by prominent Democrat OPP
posing the bill.
The bombshell turned out to be
speech by Representative Sam d. Nc
Reynolds, chairman of the House For
eign Relations Committee Despite the
fact that President Roosevelt put
Wages and Hours legislation on the
SiN-point program which he presented
to the special session, McReynolds de-
MED that the President IS for the bill.

NEW YORK. (CNA)-Father Di-
vine this week refused to admit own
ership OF the numerous Heavens in
New York and Ulster County where
his angels worship him as God.
Disclaimng possession of any earth
y property, he explained, "If | need
. new suit go to the closet and it
il1aterializes."
The Fathers bland explanation was
made during an examination before
trial in Supreme Court in suit by
one of his fallen Angels, Mrs. Verinda
Brown, known as Rebecca Grace, to
recover $4.476 she says she gave him
in return for guarantee of eternal
life
Her attorney, William w. Lessel-
bau, conducted the examination in an
effort to prove that Father Divine
owns the Heavens which are held in
the names of seventy-eight Angels, but
the cult leader baked him at every
turn.
On advice of his own lawyer, Ralph
Meyers, he refused to identify various
papers, checks and letters, causing
Lesselbaum to end the examination
abruptly and talk out threatening to
get court order.
For the 'steenti time, Father Divine
successfully eluded the searchers after
his worldly goods in Supreme Court
Tuesday. Divine answered questions
about his money from counsel for Ex-
Angel Verinda Brown, seeking return
of $500 allegedly given the cult
leader, as follows: "The heavenly
treasure. the way observe it, is an
impersonal, imnlaterial treasure Of the
storehouse of wisdom In short, it's
storehouse of principle" Divine lett

1t was a full hour since Ma had
even thought of the turkey. Bob
had carried her into the living

'CONCORDAT BREAK
CHARGED At TRIAL
Four Catholic ChapIains Ac-
CUsed as Germans Reply
to Pope'S Letter.
B! the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, April 13.-The German
peoples court today accused four
Catholic chaplains on trial for treason
OF violating the church-state con-
cordat today, in exact coincidence
with the delivery Of an Official Ger
man reply to Pope Plus Easter
encyclical to the German devout.
The Pope at that time charged that
the German government had broken
the concordat, which set up spheres
for state and church influence.
At the trial, concerned for six days
with accusations that the four chap
plains and three alleged "go-be-
tWeenS" conspired to form a treason
able Catholic Communist united front,
the concordat was mentioned for the
first time today.
Beginning the examination of wit
nesses, the presiding judge turned to
the leading defendant, Chaplain JOS
| eph RoSsaint of the Dusseldorf Cath
Ollie youth group
DO you know the contents OF the
concordat?" he asked.
Yes" relied Father Rossaint.
DO you believe it is in accord
with the concordat when priest gives
Communists chance to propagan-
die their ideas?" asked the Judge.
Rossaint, according to authorized
accounts of the trial, acknowledged
such action was contradictory to the
concordat and cooperation with other
parties is detrimental to the obliga-
tions Of Catholic priests"
Stridently, the judge quoted from
the oath OF Catholic bishop to the
German government, as contained in
article 80 OF the concordat: ". =
1 swear to respect the government
and to have it respected by my
clergy"
The other chaplains on trial said
| they did not know Rossaint had
communist connections.
Diplomatic sources said they did
not believe the Reich's answer to the
Pope abrogated the concordat, effect
ed in 1898.
The Reich's views of the Holy
Fathers encyclical message, delivered
to German bishops March 81, will be
presented in Vatican City by DR.. Diego
Won Bergen, German Ambassador to
the Holy See.
The Pontif charged the concordat,
which guaranteed division of spiritual
and temporal authority between the
church and state, had been rem
dered intrinsically valueless," placing
direct blame on the Nazi regime.
He also warned the Third Reich, in
a reference interpreted at the Vatican
as directed at Fuehrer Adolf Hitler,
that any one who attempts to replace
God as the supreme religious being
should be regarded as "a senseless
| prophet of absurdity."
The Reich's note was not made
| public
