Father Divine Welcomed Back to “Heaven”
Freed on bond on a felonious assault charge, Father Major J. Divine went back to his Har
lem “Heaven” yesterday. His colored and white followers who term him “God,” gave him a New
York “hero's salute” of torn paper and cried, “Peace, it’s wonderful!” arid “God is back on earth.”
Smiling benignly, Divine invited the crowd to a “feast” and things quieted down.

A. F. OF L. DENIED
C. I. 0. Affiliate Charges De
fense Fund Depleted
by $200,000.
By the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH. April 24 —The Amer
ican Federation of Labor was con
fronted today with a cross bill in Fed
eral Court demanding it account for
a defense fund, which followers of
John L. Lewis charged has been de
pleted by $200,000.
Counsel for the Aluminum Workers’
Union of New Kensington, Pa., filed
the petition and Judge Nelson Mc
Vicar denied a motion made in behalf
of William Green, president of the
federation, to dismiss it.
The aluminum workers took the
action in connection with an injunc
tion proceeding brought by the fed
eration to prevent the local union
turning over its treasury of about
$27,000 to the Committee for Indus
trial Organization.
The federation’s normal income has
been depleted for months because
more than 1,250,000 members of
unions who followed Lewis and estab
lished the Industrial Organization
Committee, have not been paying it
dues.
The aluminum workers contended
the federation officials have been
diverting money from its defense fund
for current expenses and that this
is illegal.
The cross bill also asks an injunc
tion preventing use of the defense
funds for other purposes by the federa
tion, and demands payment of $4,000
in strike benefits. Utorneys said it
will be argued after a decision on the
injunction asked by the federation, on
which evidence already has been taken.
Meantime the rival Lewis and Green
forces in the Pittsburgh Central Labor
Union appeared headed for a contest
at the meeting of that organization s
Executive Board on May 6.

GREENBELT LABOR
Workers Press Charge of
Discrimination in Lay-offs
Despite Denial.
By a Staf! Correspondent ot The Star.
GREENBELT, Md„ April 24.—De
spite official denials of discrimination
against non-union workers on the Re
settlement Administration's housing
project here, leaders of the complain
ing employes today said they would
ask a hearing on the matter.
Representing the complainants,
Henry McKinnell, Catonsville elec
trician, who has been discharged in
the large lay-off, announced he would
“not let the matter rest here." His
plans, however, were incomplete, he
declared while interviewing workers
on the $10,000,000 low-rent housing
project.
Complaints of discrimination against
non-unionists and members of Balti
more labor organizations in the cur
rent lay-off were called "unsubstan
tiated” by Acting Resettlement Ad
ministrator C. B. Baldwin yesterday.
More Lay-offs Due.
The official said an investigation of
I the labor set-up here had ''disproved"
| charges that Washington unions were
controlling the job. He pointed out
that the majority of skilled workers
terminated here recently were union
men.
The present lay-off, started about a
week ago, will mean the loss of nearly
2.000 jobs by .the end of the next 30
day period, resettlement executives
said. Wholesale discharges are neces
sary. they declared, since the project
is nearing completion and "there isn’t
enough work to go around.” About
3.000 men are now working here, and
the project is scheduled to open for
occupancy by August 1.
Held Natural Reaction.
Complaints are met by resettlement
executives with the statement that
unionists also claim discrimination
under similar circumstances.
As one official put it yesterday,
many Washington union men ‘have
complained that we give preference to
non-unionists.”
Acting Administrator Baldwin blam
ed the non-union charges on the
workers’ natural reaction to the lay
off.

Nature’s Children
BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY.
HE common rock bass puts up
a fine fight when first caught,
then gives up. To the angler
this is most discouraging. A
fighter is what he is after and for a
bass to give up so easily, well, it hardly
seems natural.
Most fishermen art well acquainted
with this panfish. Prom Vermont and
New York westward to Manitoba and
South to Louisiana and Texas, the
rock bass is fairly abundant. In the j
upper Mississippi Valley and in the t
Great lakes they are very plentiful, j
There is hardly a stream, pond or i
lake they do not inhabit. They also i
love to seek the smaller streams, the ]
creeks and the rivers.
Do not look for them where the 1
water is muddy. Bather seek the 1
places where the water is clear and i
cool.
Their choice gathering places are
where you can find aquatic plants, :
in streams where there are deep holes
of quiet water and handsome, large ,
boulders reach far out into the stream.
They even like to congregate under |
partly submerged logs, once great 1
trees that have stood guardians for
centuries until the erosion of the
stream banks finally brought them
low.
A rock bass often reaches a length
of 12 Inches and will weight from 1
to l12 pounds. The average weight is
slightly over a half pound, but there
Is always the prize size to go after.
It is such a fine size for pan frying,
and you do not feel greedy if you
eat several.
Not of a "persnickity” disposition,
this bass will take any kind of bait
offered. It can be caught mo6t any
season of the year and any hour dur
ing the day, even night.
If you are out camping and longing
for some sweet juicy fish right out of
the water to your pan, old “goggle-eye
or red-eye" is indeed a welcome addi
tion to the bill of fare.
Small minnows, fat white grubs and
angleworms can be said to rank high
in the favor of rock bass. Even the
trolling spoon, bucktail and spinner
have been sufficient lure to land a
rock bass. If none of these are pres
ent, you can always arouse some grass
hoppers, that any one will grant are
a good riddance.
Perhaps you can find some of the
rock fish spawning this Spring. The
male is very domestic and even builds
a nest for his mates to deposit eggs.
The place selected is usually a gravel
bed where the water is fairly swift
and not too deep. A bar on a lake
is often selected. The father defends
his home with determination and
ability. He fans the debris off the
eggs, so they will not smother, and
he challenges any male rockflsh that
dares to intrude.
The rock basses belonging to this
genus are known by their oblong
body, which is fairly compressed, lower !
projecting jaw, rather low spines and
large head The rock bass is an
| olive green in color tinged with brassy i
! and well mottled with dark coloring. |
The mature members of the family
have a dark spot on each scale, and
these form interrupted black stripes. |
There is a black spot back of the
slightly red eye.

Bedtime Stories
Despair and Hope.
BY THORNTON W. BURGESS.
Despitr and hope are almost twins;
Despair doth end where hope begins.
—Old Mother Nature.
O YOU wonder that Old Mr.
Toad was In something very
like despair? There he was.
late, anyway, to keep a date
at the Smiling Pool and then had
to tumble into a hole so deep that
it would take him a long time, a
very long time, to make his way to
the surface again. It was a posthole
he had tumbled into. Some new
posts were to be put in for the
fence along there, and two or three
holes had been dug, but the posts
not yet put in.
And it was his own fault. He
knew that, and, of course, that didn’t I
make him feel any better. Some
how it never makes any of us feel
any better to know that our troubles
are through faults of our own. Queer
as it may seem, there always is some
comfort in being able to blame some
one else for our troubles. But Mr.
Toad had no one to blame but him
self. He had been making what for
him were long hops as he hurried
toward the Smiling Pool, hop, hop,
hippity-hop, and he hadn’t been
looking, as he should have been,
where each hop would land him. The
result was that a long hop had landed
him nowhere at first and finally at
the bottom of that hole.
There was real distress in Old Mr.
Toad’s beautiful golden eyes. There
was distress and there was despair.
“Now I’ve dote it!’’ gasped Old
Mr. Toad when he had recovered his
breath. “Yes, sir, I’ve done it now.
By the time I get out of this hole
Mrs. Toad will be sure that something
has happened to me and she’ll listen
to one of those uppity young Toads
singing over there in the Smiling
Pool. If I hadn’t overslept, this
OLD MR. TOAD LIKES DAMPNESS.
wouldn’t have happened. No. sir, this
wouldn’t have happened. I’ll have to
dig my way up. and it will take a
long time. If Mrs. Toad isn’t over
at the Smiling Pool now she will be
by the time I can get out and over
there.”
The only way that Old Mr. Toad
could dig his way out of that hole
was by digging a sort of burrow in
the earth around that hole. He
started in at once, slanting his bur
row upward, but he didn't dig long
before he was too tired to dig more
just then. You see, he had slept all
Winter and he was in no condition
for such hard work as digging. It
was too hard work to start right
in on.
Old Mr. Toad came out of the
i hole, the little hole he had dug, and
1 sat on the bottom of the posthole.
If you were at the bottom of a deep
well you would have much the same
feeling that Old Mr. Toad had as he
mournfully gazed up at a little cir
cular bit o* sky. This was, of course,
all he could see from down there.
He could still hear the chorus from
the Smiling Pool, but faintly. Down
there all the sounds are smothered.
He looked at the start he had
made on his way to the surface, and
it was such a small start and he was
so tired that more than ever he de
spaired oi getting out of there in
time to meet Mrs. Toad at the Smil
ing Pool. All the time inside him
was the desire to sing, because this
was the time of year when he was
in the habit of singing. He wanted
to sing, but he didn't feel like sing
ing. It was because he was in de
spair. No one in despair feels like
singing. It was a terribly mixed-up
sort of feeling, as you can imagine,
and a most unpleasant one.
For a long time Old Mr. Toad sat
there. Then something hit him right
spang on the nose. It was a drop
of rain. Another followed, and an
other and another, and pretty soon
the drops fell so fast that they
formed little streams that pelted Old
Mr. Toad. He didn’t mind. He didn't
mind at all. In fact, that rain was
refreshing. Old Mr. Toad likes
dampness. The place to look for him
in the Spring is in water, instead of
on land. So Old Mr. Toad enjoyed
the rain but for one thing—it re
minded him all the tune of the Smil
ing Pool and that he should be there
at that very minute.
Now it happened that this was
more than a shower. It developed
into a heavy downpour. People spoke
of it afterward as being almost a
cloudburst. Presently water began to
run off the ground into that post
hole, and the first thing old Mr.
Toad knew he was forced to swim.
He didn’t mind that, for, having
been born in the Smiling Pool, ha
was quite at home in the water. Tha
water grew deeper and deeper. It was
then that hope took the place of
despair.

Argument Is Settled.
RICHMOND. Va. (A3).—That 'pos
sum argument is finished at the
Medical College of Virginia. When
a pair of 'possums was donated, the
nurses started arguing as to whether
the female, like the kangeroo. carried
her young in a pouch. Three days
later a litter was born. She did.
Small Boys to Blame.
FREMONT. Ohio (A3).—Firemen ex
! tinguished a blaze in a bank and then
| began investigating as to how it
1 happened. A bystander volunteered
to say some small boys with time
on their hands and a magnifying
glass to experiment with had been
around, he said, and it was Spring.
They focused the sun's rays on a
bank drape.
