RoOSEvELTS o. K. DIVINE
AS NEIGHBOR

New York, August, (CNA)-Thru
series of letters exchanged by Presi-
dent and Mrs. Roosevelt and Father
Divine, it was revealed this week that
followers of the cult leader are nego-
tiating for the purchase of the clabor
ate 700-acre Vanderbilt estate adjoin-
ing the Presidents ancestral acres at
Hyde Park.
The correspondance-in which the
President affirmed "the right which all
citizens have to purchase any proper
ty" but said he had always felt the
Vanderbilt place should be acquired
preferably by some public or govern
ment body"-was made public by John
Lamb, Father Divine's white secretary
The estate, with its fifty-room manor
house, is on the same side of the river
as the Rooseve1t's Hyde Park home.
The cult leader last year acquired the
Krum Elbow property of Rowland
Spencer, an anti-New Dealer, made a
spite" deal with Divine's followers,
but was discomfitted when the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Roosevelt greeted Di-
vine as good neighbor."
Meantime, publication of the cores
pondence between Divine and the
Roosevelts brought an emphatic INC
Sale" statement from Mrs. James
Laurens Van Allen, Newport dowagel
who inherited the huge estate from hel
uncle Frederick w. Vanderbilt, upor
his death June %, 1888.
Mrs. Van Allen said that it would be
over her dead body if Father Divine
ever gets title to place she once
valued at $500,000
! However, in his correspondence with
the Roosevelts, Divine made it cleal
that he did not expect to effect pur
chase of the estate by direct negotia
tions, but rather by using some of hi
white followers to put through the dea

(By Edward CorneaDy)
Our Congress of the United States
is rich with traditions. =. Customs
which have been accepted down
through the years.
There are things that are always
done. And there are others which are
avoided. Some call it strategy, diplo-
macy, good common sense.
Others admit the action they follow
is smart politics.
Take, for example, the work of con-
gressmen during presidential years,
specifically, their work on any legis-
lat;on affecting the folks back home.
They never like to tamper with the
tax structure.
They know it's ticklish proposition
know that it may not affect their
constituents directly but that it does
apply to every citizen indirectly.
And so they've made it policy to
avoid such tampering in election years
-. have kept away from it much the
same as children avoid swimming
holes during dog days.
But next year it may be different
Certain congressman are determined
to tackle the question. and not only
tackle it, but do something about the
system.
Right now, in fact, congressional
tax experts and treasury representa-
tives are going over plans to seal the
so-called loop-holes in the tax strtc-
ture.
They'd like to raise an additlona

and they are preparing suggestions TO

And their ambitions do not stol

They also are studying pleas for fur

proposals that the personal income ta'
law and system be overhauled.
Improvement of tax administratio
will be considered, too, and group
represented in conferences will b
business, industry, agriculture, the bal
and labor.
And so another precedent will b
set.
Some legislators firmly believe
may be possible to revamp the revenu
system if no effort is made to increas
the aggregate tax burden.
Well, maybe it will be good thin
if the congressman do get down
business in 1910 on some of thes
things.
There will, of course, always b
