In the only one of the cases yet

of Alabama upheld the $500,000

In a collateral action a Fed

liability on the part of the four
ministers “existed under any ra

Committee pointed out. Pending
appeal to the Alabama Supreme
Court, however, the ministers
were unable to post the $1,000,

law, and their property in Ala

tiland Deville, 24, a Peace Corps
Volunteer from Vilie Platte, La.,

for a Brazilian.
"It happens aH the time,” De

want to charge me lower prices
for food than they do other
Americans because they think I’m
native born.”
One of the reasons for iiis mis
taken identity: Deville speaks
Por!-uguese as if he wer? born
to it.
“One of my Brazilian friends
heard me speak English I'or the
first time,” Deville said, and “he
was astonished. He though Por

farming community, Deville was
presi^nt of his local chapter of
the 5k.'* Farmers of America. He
was cjass president for four years
straight in college.
Deville hopes to help the Bra
zilian' farmers on more modern
methods of farming. Oftentimes
he runs into incredible beliefs.

was the man’s reply.
