DELINQUENT TAX
 PAYERS WARNED
Sheriff Nardona Claims Many Will Regret Fail.
 ure to Answer

City Sheriff Angelo J. Nardona said today that Imprisonment in New Haven county jail within the next few days loomed for a number of those who have failed to heed demands that they pay overdue tax es on personal property. Tn most cases, he said. those who have been given warnings have settled their accounts but some have paid no at- tention to the notices.
 The law allows such delinquents to be served with a body writ and taken to jail without benefit of court arraignment. Sheriff Nardona emphasized that Imprisonment of delinquents will be used only as a last resort, and those expressing willingness to pay will be given every possible consideration. Thou- sand of notices demanding payment of back bills have been mailed out, many Of them during the last two weeks, others during the past few months.
 Tax Collector William A. Ennis reports that the drive for collection of overdue accounts is having ex- cellent results. Scores of old bills, some of them dating back to 1917, have been settled during the past week. Sheriff Nardona is being as- sisted by county deputy sheriffs in serving the notices and tax war; rants,

FATHER DIVINE IS BEING SUED
One of His Angels" Is Trying to Get Money
 She Paid Him

New York, Dec. 4-(UP)-Father Divine, the God of thousands of Me- groes, goes to court today to resist a disgruntled angel who wants her $4.476 back.
 The dusky Messiah of the heaven studded empire of wonderful peace was brought into supreme court by Verinda Brown. who said he had become "too grasping" after she had given him her husbands wages dur ing the three years in which she belonged to his cult.
 The suit, expected to take six weeks in trial, threatened to bring into the open the secrets by which Divine rose from a handy man to the religious ruler of thousands of Negroes with "inexhaustible" wealth.
 The bald little prophet has a promised land that includes some g Manhattan properties and 50 ru- ral retreats, all of which could be turned over to a receiver if Angel Brown gets a verdict.
 Divine denied that he had taken $4,476 from her while she and her butler husband gloried in his spir- itual efflorescence. Being God, he claims to take no money from his followers.
 ''who could give to ood7" he asked.
 Divine claims to have a heavenly treasury.

 There was uncertainty as to the exact hour for the start of the blockade. The economic warfare ministry, in charge of the new form of "contraband control" said how ever that the export blockade would start at midnight tonight.
 A special French British organi- zation had completed its arrange mentS for the new blockade and, 1t was understood, had received word that all control ships were Tn posi- ton.
 Twenty French officials and ex- perts were detailed to remain here to ensure the closest allied coopera- ton.
 May Strike Any Hour
 (Paris dispatches indicated that France might impose the blockade in its territory at any hour after dawn today. The London dispatch, however, indicated that all orders would be issued jointly)
 The extension of the blockade to goods from Germany, as well as goods en route to Germany, was ordered in retaliation for the Ger man unrestricted mine campaign. In the World War. 1t was restored to only in 1917. It was designed to stop Germany's overseas export trade oi about $500,000,000 a year. thus de- priving Germany Of that amount of urgently needed foreign exchange with which to buy foreign goods.

Manton, 58. had served as senior judge of the circuit court of appeals here for l2 years. At his trial last spring, the government charged he had systematically sold decisions of his court to the highest bidders. Nearly Sl0O,O00 was thus traced di- rectly to Manton's books. A federal court jury found Manton guilty last June 3 and the white-haired jurist subsequently, was sentenced to two years imprisonment and fined S10,- GOO. His co-defendant, George Nj. Spector, was sentenced to one year and c day, and a s5.000 fine. Manton's alleged "bag man." Wil- liam J. Fallon, pleaded guilty.
 Manton must serve his sentence and pay his fine unless he is grant, cd q review by the United States supreme court. This was corisid- cred improbable in view of the ex- traordiiiary review court which in- cluded one former and one active supreme court justice.
