Angels OF Father Diyine's Heaven
Reveal Source Of Goods" Income

NEW YORK calvin service)
Angels of Father Divine have
finally talked, revealing much a.
making information about Gods
cash income.
For months the Supreme Court
has been trying to find out why
Father Divine can't pay a $4,000
Judgment secured against him in
bus accident. Father has al
ways pleaded h els innocent about
money matters. although a book
has been written about his riding
IN a Rols-Royce, and he has sur
prised New York with the purch-
ase of a string Of farms upstate,
and riding around in his own pri-
waite plane.
Now two ex-angeIs, Verinda
Brown. and the second still use
ing her heavenly name of "Hu-
mility and Consolation" who told
william Lessclbaum, attorney in

vine has a tremendous income
estimated at $500 a week. Hum
ility and Consolation, who said
she was cashier IN one Of the
branch heagens at EOS W. 1Sgth
ST., the one to which swanky stri-
vers Row residents strenuously
objected, that she took in money
from the dining room and also
rent from the rooming houses.
She said that each night she went
to Fathers office with the days
receipts in cash and turned all ov-
er to him. About forty cashiers
made such reports fro mths vari-
GUS branch heavens, she said. and
all reported separately, no two be-
ing allowed in Fathers presence
at the same time.
The cashier said her days re-
ceipts We're fro m$25 to $50, with
an increase on Sundays.
Mrs. Verinda Browns testimo-
ny was most embarrassing to the
aHriem God" The woman told
the Court that she and her hus-
band paid Father $5.s17, with the
exception Of Ss5. which she says
she gave to Mother Divine. Mrs.
Brown said: 7 paid all this mo-
ney in tho belief that, unless did
so, was doomed to everlasting

money to Father Divine, was de-
posting It in his heavenly, treas
ury and was, ia that way, assur-
ed of eternal life and peace"
Ms. BroWa's interest in the Di-
vine movement began to wane as
she began to feel The leader was
too grasping.p After getting all
their money, the woman said. Di-
vine then sought to have she and
her husband live apart. as it is
one Of the Divine principles to
live out of the flesh" So Mrs.
Brown quit the kingdom first, and
then her husband left, she testi-
fled.
Justice Rosennan ordered Di-
vine to reappear before the court.

The former chief of the Nazi party's
foreign press affairs said he may di-

In which he is mot disposed" to re-

Hanfstaengl hailed this as refuta-

prophecy that the British Empire is
disintegrating, and criticized the Ger

He emphasized that he was still a

in Switzerland and said he would re-

clean this whole matter up in two or
| three weeks
Senator Burke was asked if the op-
ponents Of the Presidents court bill
| intended to fnbuster and prevent q
vote on the measure.
Il do not expect a filibuster," he re-
piled. Il do expect, however, a long
debate. There are 35 Senators who
would certainly find it necessary to ex-
press their views at great length on
this important question. Whether a
] vote will be reached this year or not, I
cannot say. But it would not be a
| fllihlster."
Senator Dieterich Of Illinois, mem
Der of the Judiciary Committee and q
supporter Of the Presidents bill, Is
suggesting that the committee vote
only the bill as it stands today and
report it either adversely or favorably
to the Senate without voting on any
of the proposed amendments or SUBJ
stitutes. His argument is that the
whole thing and all the amendments
will have to be considered in the
Senate itself.
Amendments by Members.
It does not seem likely that his sug-
gestion will be followed for num-
Der Of the committee members are
strongly in favor of amendments that
they have offered.
The Judiciary Committee. at its
meeting today, the first since last
Wednesday, discussed other features
of the court bill outside Of the Su-
preme Court provisions. The pro-
posed proctor, the assignment Of
judges in the lower courts and the pro-
posal of the President to increase the
number Of District judges were all
discussed. Some opposition In the
committee has developed to- the crea-
ton of Office OF proctor, and also to
the increase in the number Of Dis
trict judges as recommended by the
President.
