L^T._SUNOCO AUGUST 16. 1958 GOOD EVENING EVERiBODi: Two steamboats today navigated up the Hudson River, from lew York to Heaven — that newly created Heaven which is just across the river from President Roosevelt’s homeat Hyde Park. Thousands of negro worshippers of Father Divine swarmed at the Hew York pier, and the little brown man who is worshipped as God, received a wild ovation as he drove up in his big limousine. It was a oraring tumult, with crowds of angels piling aboard the two boats — bound for Heaven, On their way to establish their new Paradise on the aristocratic estate sold to the negoo cult leader by Howland Spencer, distant kinsman and bitter enemy of the President. Howland Spencer sais he sold his estate, Krum Elbo because he thought the doctrines of Father Dferine v/eresounder than the New Deal. So today the Divine doctrines are being put into practice right across the river from the founder of the New Deal - the place of which the First Lady spoke when she said how nice it was that at least it would be Heaven to someone. ROOSEVELT President Roosevelt has quit fishing. The Houston is on its way home, bringing the president to *x the end of his vacation. Instead of fishing he»s now ^ — > .ipnrt j 'Pn<piymi^ writing speeches. For after the Houston lands in Pensacola, he will go straight to Georgia to deliver two addresses, one at Barnesville, another at Athens. They will be discourses of wmmmt moment and importance to Roose^ partisans. Georgia, as we’ve been hearing is one of the critical states in the forthcoming democratic Primary. T And it’s no secret that the President is anxious to purge the Senatorial toga off the back of Senator George of that State. PRXMARY - FOLLOW ROOSEVELT The President was doubtless encouraged In his speech-writing by the news he received over the radio from Kentucky. For early today Governor A. b .Chandler, popularly known as "Happy" conceded that he was defeated and congratulated his successful opponent. Senator Barkley. And you may be sure that's news which fwii impinged gratefully upon the Roosevelt^ears, for Senator Barkley — Dear Alben — is the today, but his congratulations were happily couched. Said hes- "I have no excuses, alibis, or regrets. As the Democratic nominee you will have my active support in November, and I wish you another successful term in the Senate." And that ends a .^t much to be happy about long and angry squabble* HARRISBURG More fun in Pennsylvania. The fight between Governor Earle and his enemies becomes more amusing day by day. It brings to mind the palmy days of American politics, when almost every state saw the spectacle of one side u owning the judges, the other side owning the Legislators, one side having the police in its pocket, the other side owning the Sheriffs. Of course I wouldn* t be so rude as to intimate that anybody owns anybody today, especially in Pennsylvania. However, today's inning went to the enemies of GovemorEarle. you will remember that the Legislature passed laws to stop a special Grand Jury from investigating the Governor,and turned the iwt *”? inquiry over to a committee of the Legislature. Today Judge Schaeffer knocked out two of those laws, said they are unconstitutional* As for the third, he said that one too is partly wrong. On top of that he over-ruled all the other efforts of the Legislature to keep wwwtxk control of the investigation HARRISBURG - £ That put the next move up to £&■ Governor Earle’s Attorney General, mm* Guy K* Bard, promptly appealed to the Supreme Court of the State.

Offered for sale were more than two hundred thousand models submitted by inventors who wanted patents from Uncle Sam* A large quai tity of these were bought by Crosby Gage, theatrical producer, sometimes <5*>v\ publisher, also expert on cooking, and a collector of Mf- many curiosities. Included in the things 0k Gaige purchased from Uncle Sam was an ancient safe that hadn11 been opened for at his offices in Rockefeller Center, ) years* Nobody knew what was in it. m Gage had it opened^and many curiosities came to light for the first time in many decades. One of them ette a baseball bat made in Eighteen-Sixty-six by George W. Hill* There was also the model of a machine gun made entirely of aluminum in gUtfctafce* Eighteen-Eighty. Most interesting of all, however, was not a model ^application but a printed pamphlet. for a patent.

In Nineteen—Eleven the steamship Merida set sail from a Mexican port bound for Europe* Among the freight she carried were fifteen tons of silver bullion. It belonged once upon a time to a famous but tragic character, the hapless Hapsburg, Emperor Maximillian. Sixty-five miles off the Virginia Capes the Merida ran into a fog. She was rammed by a freighter called the Farrigut, rammed and sent to the bottom in nearly thirty-five fathams of water. Recently a group of Italians organized an expedition to salvage that treasure. The members of th^ expedition have been at work several weeks; with modern appliances. They1ve been diving and exiioring the cabins of several officers^ recopverjp^ cameras, washbasins* thermometers* dishes* even a few coins. And they stHl«H» hopes of recovering those fifteen tons of silver bullion which once belonged ko Maximillian. / CORRIGAN Since he came back from Ireland,.

Guns roared and airplanes dropped their lethal loads, and it all ended in four hours,«*i fierce hand-to-hand fighting. At the end of it all the Soviet forces claimed they'd ix thrown the Japanese By way of offsetting this the Japanese Press Department issued another statement. They claim that the morale of the Soviet fighters is low, the prisoners tney have captured are glad to be prisoners and out of the firing lines.

A bulletin that just in from Paris indicates that there may be an unexpected angle to all that fighting near -e Vladivostok. The gist of thf^ bulletin is that the diplomats may want to avoJd this Asiatic Armageddon* but the soldiers in the theatre of war may get out of control. That1 s a thing that the French Foreign office is afraid of today. The French diplomats are afraid because of their alliance with Moscow. If the Generals | I bring about a big—scale war against the wishes of their Government, nothing much can be done to preventthem. That's the report in Paris tonight.\\There * s a rumor that Marshal.
