A few weeks ago. consorti-
UNI headed by Jay Faggen, who
has been everything from a
press agent to a night club
owner and music publisher,
opened another place of 1--WE only
a couple of blocks from the Sa-
voy.
They call it the Golden Gate,
and it is one of the vastest
dance halls in the country.
Naturally, the Golden Gate,
being the new attraction, drew
a tremendous early crowd and
the battle now is to see if it
can hold it against the wiles of
the Savoy crowd.
The Golden Gate gained an
early, march by devising a new
dance called the Hep Hop, which
is done only there at present,
and thus anyone wanting to
learn it has to come to the ball
room.
The Savoy has given its name
to a number of dances and has
experts trying to figure out a
Indy that will neutralize the
Hep Hop. Both bathrooms are
offering a staggering series of
inducements to trade, ranging
from low-priced nights to name
bands. It's a titanic battle
for one of the richest fields in
the entertainment world.
FATHER DIVINE'S
FAMOUS FEASTS
While some of New York's
"cult" religions go their quiet,
unheralded ways, Father Dr.
vines Heaven does not lack for
the limelight.
Father Divine's mass meetings
often end with mammoth BAN
quets in a Harlem ballroom or
one of his "Heavens"-at a flat
price, sans cover charge. His
faithfuls don't waver, outwardly
at least, in their trust that he is
of providential stature, although
his Angel Mary waxed rebellious
some time ago and slipped into
limbo. The Divine devotee per-
sists in his beliefs.
Perhaps you never have heard
of faith known as The Liberal
Socialists, except as a political
faction.

it was something like this:

State Tax on j. 5. Bond
Income Of Banks Upheld
By the Associated Press

by tne Associated Press
In the first opinion delivered by
Justice Murphy, the Supreme Court
sustained today a 1885 Oklahoma
law imposing a tax on income re-
ceived by national banks in that
State from United States Govern
ment bonds which had been made
tax exempt by Congress.
The decision affirmed a ruling in
favor Of the tax by the Oklahoma
Supreme Court. The State tribunal
had held that the six per cent State
assessment was not an income tax
but franchise tax measured by
net income.
Justice Murphy asserted The
power of Congress to authorize a
State to impose a tax on the fran
chise of a national banking asso-
citation cannot now be doubted"
No dissent to Mr.. Murphy's de-
cision was announced. Justice Nc
Reynolds did not participate.
