Bishop 'Sweet Daddy' Dies
In LA of Heart Ailment
Los Angeles (CPD - Bishop
C. M. (Daddy) Grace, wealthy
Negro religious leader whose
followers are numbered in the
tens of thousands throughout
the country, died this week of
a heart ailment.
Dr. Henry Silver, who was
called to attend the aged cul
tist, said Grace told him he
was 80 years of age.
Grace owned a mansion
here on Berkeley Square in
addition to the apartment
house where he was stricken.
He also had a church here,
a church in New York, and
numerous other properties
valued at several million dol
lars. Boston to Cuba
Grace's churches stretched
from Boston to Cuba and
throughout the nation.
He was reported to have
started his religious move
ment in 1926 in a small Por
tuguese settlement in Ware
ham, Mass.
Grace's trademark, his
followers said, were his flow
ing white hair, cutaway coats
and diamond rings on his fing
ers. His fingernails, several
inches long, always were
rightly painted. His black
Hlillac bore crosses on each
o. the rear doors.
'S et Daddy'
G. :e, who was known to
his fc "wers as "Sweet Dad
dy," hi a number of run-ins
with tht 1aw.
He was arged by the gov
ernment in 1934 with paying
only $41 in taxes on income
of, 5190,000. But Grace won
the case on grounds that the
income belonged to the
church and was not taxable.
On another occasion, he
was charged with violation
of the Mann Act in Massa
chusetts. But the case was
dropped.
Loses Court Bout
Grace did lose one bout
with the courts in Detroit in
1957. A resident near the
House of Prayer complained
that his fire hose baptisms
were too noisy and Judge
John D. Watts ordered the
practice halted.
A Georgia school teacher
once charged Grace, using
the name of John Royster,
married her. But Grace de
nied ever using the name Roy
ster. She said the marriage took
place in 1924, about the same
time Grace was embarking on
his career as a Negro religious
leader.
Accurate details of Grace's
early life remained a mys
tery. He was reportedly born
in Portugal of part Portu
guese and part Negro ances
try and came to the United
States in 1900. He allegedly
worked as a railway cook be
fore beginning preaching in
the mid-1920s.
The wife of a U.S. President
has no official title.
STATUE DEFILED A statue of former U. S. President
Franklin D. Roosevelt is shown in Oslo, Norway, smeared
with the words "Potsdam Joedisk Landhandler," meaning
Potsdam Jewish Peddler. The statue was raised by the
Norwegian people in honor of the late U. S. leader. The
incident was the latest outbreak of the anti-Semitic dis
turbances in much of the world.

Some official sources here
speculated that the tests mean
Russia is preparing to put a
man in space this year. One
key U. S. space authority said,
"I would be extremely alert,
starting right now, for news
that the Russians had put a
man in a rocket." The United
States does not expect to put
an astronaut into orbit until
at least late 1961.
The Navy said Soviet mer
chant ships "with consider
able electronic gear" have
been spotted about 700 miles
south of Midway and 1,200
miles west of Honolulu.
Fleet Size Unknown
How big a fleet the Rus
sians are sending to the Pa
cific region was not known
here.
The State Department said
it would not protest the So
viet stay-out warning to ships
and planes. Officials said
there was nothing illegal in
the Russian warning.
Space scientists were di
vided over what the Russians
are up to. There was specu
lation that the Soviets are:
-Setting up a system for
recovering astronauts from
manned satellites.
-Testing huge rockets con
sisting of clusters of existing
Soviet engines which generate
600,000 to 800,000 pounds of
thrust each.
-Developing improved up
per stages capable of stepping
up the efficiency of their
multi-stage vehicles.
-Testing the accuracy of
military missiles based, per
haps, on Kamchatka across
the Bering Sea from Alaska.
Tips for Driving
In Fog Given
Medford motorists are fre
quently subjected to the haz
ards of driving in fog, but
there are some simple rules
that can greatly reduce these
hazards, according to Chief
of Police Charles P. Champ
lin. Motorists will find driving
easier if they will reduce
speed and use low beam head
lights, Champlin. said, but the
only sure way for them to
drive in fog is to drive care
fully. At night, low beams help
pierce the fog and illuminate
the road ahead, Champlin
said. Fog lights are good too,
if set low and properly aim
ed, he added.
Even with the best lighting
possible, Champlin pointed
out, danger can come sudden
ly and unexpectedly in a fog
and the driver should go slow
in order to stop quickly if
necessary.
In daylight fog it is neces
sary to make the car visible
without creating . too much
glare for other drivers, and
ordinary head and tail lights
are the best for this, Champ
lin pointed out.
In regards to the use of
parking lights, Champlin said
they are illegal to use when
headlights are required.
