Father Devine
Advocates Plan
To Rid Poor OF
Debt Before 81

NEW YORK - A nationwide
program, designed to encourage
millions of poor people to get out
of debt by December Of 1851, was
launched here this week following
a series of conferences sponsored
by Father Devine.
So far as the widely publicized
cult leader is concerned, the idea
is not new. But unto outsiders,
Devine's anti-installment buying
campaign, it is presumed that
something will be done before
long. If successful, the Devine-
sponsored idea may be adopted
here as a matter of community
policy.
1t all started when Arthur w.
Madison, Devine's legal advisor
for more than 20 years, began
inviting some Of Harlem's leading
citizens of Devine's 10th street
headquarters to participate in
the fabulous banquets held each
Sunday evening.
Banking Officials Call
Last Sunday, for instance, De
vines so guests included two we'll
known banking officials; one rep
resenting the Carver Federal Saw
ing and Loan Association, which
is Negro-owned, the other one of
the city's biggest banking insti-
tutions with branches in Harlem
and several other key points
throughout New York.
The Sunday before, Devine's
guests included City Court Jus
tice Francis f. Rivers, Municipal
Court Justice James Watson and
host of other prominent officials
who paid their respects to the one
religious hero who boasts that
none of his followers are on relief.
Devine got up and spoke three
times last Sunday night; one to
attack buying on the installment
plan, the other to emphasize his
dislike for the bankers who refuse
to rate Negro-owned property in
the same category as whites when
requests for loans are made.

representatives of the Protestant,
Catholic and Jewish faiths and
Of the Negro and White race, last
Sunday on the 200th broadcast of
the "Americans ALP radio pro-
gram directed by DR.. Tomlinson

Among those who raised their

In his remarks, DR.. Johnson
pointed out that although peoples
of the world differ in color, Ian
guage, religion and culture, they
all hunger for brotherhood.
He declared that these people
are not contented to be intelligent
animals struggling desperately
against each other for bread, but

Meanwhile, a prison board official
declared, "It's not right that crimi-
nails sentenced to hard labor should
spend their time polishing cars and
doing other soft jobs and getting
fat on three good meals a day."
But the voteless native popula-
ton is not taking the pro-Fascist
plans of the government living
down. Several days ago, the Afri-
can National congress and the All.
African convention launched a
campaign to organize nationwide
political strike against Premier
Daniel F. Malan's segregation poll
cies.
These African organizations
have agreed that all Negroes who
accept government appointments
or cooperate with the governments
program will be treated as colIabo-
rators and "quislings."

tract was reached through an un-

"The figure determined by the
mediator-a Chicago lawyer and
a leader in Holy Cross alumni ac-
tivities-will pay of Osmanski
for the three remaining years Of
his five-year contract repeatedly
for around $4,000 a year.
Osmanski. a Chicago dentist
during the off-season, was re-
ported as telling the Globe Id q
telephone interview from his home
in Evanston, H., the news OF the
settlement was totally unfound-
ed"
The Globe quoted Osmanski as
saying In the interview:
Il have been weighing the pros
and cons on the situation and
am still undecided one way or an
other. I expect to talk with close
friends tomorrow and will make
my decision then"
