After Afghanistan in the order of consideration comes the king dom of Transpordania, which re cently was granted independence from a British mandate and emerged as a staunch champion of the Pan-Arabic opposition to Jewish migration into Palestine. Black 'God' Avers He Wed White Girl 'In Name Only' PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 8 (P) Fathtr Divine, self-styled "god" and negro evangelist who as sumed the mantle of immortality in 1932 as the leader of a re ligiuus cult, married a beautiful, blonde 21-year-old white girl from Montreal last April 29 but he tells shrieking followers it's 'in name only." The marriage to Miss Edna Rose Ritchings in the Washing ton home of the Rev. Albert L. Shadd, negro Baptist minister, was revealed yesterday. Divine entertained members of his cult at a wedding ban quet here last night and told the chanting, shrieking guests that his late first wife Mother Di vine had approved the mar riage, i License records show that Di vine gave his age as 41, his staiu as widower, his address as Philadelphia. He told his fol lowers his first wife and he were married "on June 6, 1882.' Divine insisted that he placed the spirit of his first wifede scribed as "an Aunt Jcmimah like woman" in the person of his second wife and then shouted Truman OK's Fund Outlay On Gl Leave WASHINGTON. Ano A President Truman today signed into law an appropriatior. bill carrying $2,431,708,000 for en. usiea men s terminal leave pay. The president has not yet Signed the terminal leave pay legislation Itself. This is on his desk for action. The bill signed today also carries $30,000,000 for the pur chase of especially fitted auto mobiles for veterans who have lest their legs. The terminal pay bill awaiting action would make an estimated 15.000,000 past and present en listed men eligible to be paid for furlough time they did not re ceive. Estimated to cost as much as $4,700,000 most of which now has been appropriated, the law requires payment to enlisted per. sonnel who have served at any wine amie oepiemoer 0, 1939, for accrued furlough time up to 120 days. The time accrues at the rate of two and one-half Qays for each month of service, minus any furlough time ac tually received. Payments will be at the rate, ot base and longevity pay re ceived at the time of discharge, plus a minimum of 70 cents a day for subsistence. Payments will be in cash if they are less than $50, or if the recipient was discharged prior to January 1, 1943. 'Cash pay. rnenur will be made-also o- es tates of discharged men who have died. Zoning Group Studies City The problem of uncontrolled fringe areas around Klamath Falls is being considered by a state committee on rural plan ning and zoning which arrived in Klamath Falls Thursday to meet with city and county of ficials. This group, headed by Com missioner William A. Bowes, is here to study the overflow of the city into outside .reas over which the city and county of ficials do not have any control. The survey will provide mate rial for state legislation to per mit county courts to set up commissions to zone land out side the city limits. Speaking before the Kiwanis club at noon, Bowes pointed out the advantages of zoning in. sections which may eventu ally be annexed by the city. With zoning, proper sanitation would be taken care of, parks and recreation facilities would be provided and business and residential sections would be designated. 1 If correction of the sore spots in the ' city limits is delayed until an area becomes part of the city, the city will pay the bills for the changes, Bowes said. The proposed legislation would carry the minimum re (Cantinaei aa rasa I, Cal. S) that the new marriage, like the old one, was "in name only." "God is not married," he ser monized. . "It's beautiful," "thank you, father," "it's true," screamed his followers, chanting and singing and clapping their hands. Divine, whose various prop erties are known as "heavens" and whose followers take such names as "Prodigal Son," 'Tree of Life," "Miss Charity,' etc., said he was "not bereaved" over the death of his first wife. "When Mother Divine seem, ingly deceased about three or four years ago, her spirit was about me all the time holy vir tue untouched by mortality," he asserted. The new wife, better known among followers of the cult in Montreal by her spiritual name of "Sweet Angel," formerly worked in a customer jewelry establishment in the Canadian city. Friends said she left Montreal last April. Mrs. Divine sat unmoved at the wedding banquet occasional ly murmuring aloud the word peace." ("Peace, it's wonder ful" is the motto of her hus band's cult).
