Negro Evangelist Now President's Neighbour New York, July 29. President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the famous Negro preacher and would be political-speaker, Father Divine, have become neighbours.
This time, Father Divine has a scheme which will aid a large number of the unemployed and at the same time save money for the State.
He bought today a property of about 50 acres, for U.S. $50,000, bordering on the Hudson River and facing the President's property of Hyde Park. Father Divines estate is named "Krumelkow."
There are 50 buildings on this 50-acre plot of ground, and the Negro preacher plans to have his unemployed faithful follow take up residence at Krumelkow. during holidays. He makes it a condition however, that when living on his property, the unemployed should not.|collect any dole payments—that is where he is helping the State.—Havas.
