- TS TARIF HEARING * APPLIGANTS READY Yaluations to Be Taken Up Be- fore Sub-Committee Work ‘Washington, June 6 (P—Approxi- mately 75 applications for time in which to present evidence on the tariff bill were in the hands of sen- ate finance committee clerks today and indications were that several hundred more would be received be- fore the hearings before four sub- committees start next week. Valuation Hearings Before dividing into sub-commuit- tees the full committee will meet June 12 to take testimony on the question of valuation. This matter must be settled before any ad valor- em duties are changed. The house bill retains the present method of basing these duties on the forcign value of imported goods, but au- thorizes the president to make an investigation and report to congress on the feasibility of adopting some forms of domestic valuation. The opinion was expressed today that the sub-committee would take perhaps not more than 10 days or two weeks to complete their hear- ings. The remainder of the time be- for Jvly 10, the limit set for the hearings, is expected to be consumed by the full committee at hearings on the free list and other administrative provisions. Washington, June 6 (®) — The house today was confronted with the most difficult controversial situation it has encountered since the special session began, while the senate had three on its hands. til two of the four are disposed of—the house controversy over re- apportionment of its membership and the revival in the senate of the issue over the export debenture plan of farm relief—all talk of a summer vacation for congress is likely to be of an extremely tentative nature. The other senate controversies had to do with repeal of the national crigins basis tor the fixing of im- nigration quotas and the demand of Senator Wheeler, democrat, Mon- tana, for reconsideration of ihe nomination of Joseph [I’. Cotton, New York attorney, to be under recretary of state, neither of which is on the administration’s pre-vaca- tion program for congress. Census Embroils House The house entanglement was the outgrowth of its adoption of the “alicn exclusion” and ‘“force bill” amendments to the pending senate bill to carry out the constitutional requirement for reapportionment of the house membership in conform- ity with population changes disclos- ed by each decennial census, and to provide for the 1930 enumeration on the basis of which it is proposed to make the first reapportionment in #imost 20 years. The former amendment, proposed by Representative Hoch, republican, XKansas, would exclude aliens from the census count on which reappor- tionment is based. It was opposed by castern representatives and others from states having large ur- ban and industrial centers, drawing zupport among the delegation from rural states which stand to lose rep- resentation in a reapportionment, including some from the south. The “Force Bill" amendment, in- troduced by Representative Tink- ham, republican, Massachusetts, would exclude from the count all citizens older than 21 who are not permitted to vote in the states in which they live and, while drawing sbpport from the east, was opposed by southern representatives. Both were subject to another vote, but house leaders, fearing that they would command majorities on such ballots and that their inclusion would bring about defeat of the leg- islation, cut yesterday’s session short and attempted to work out, through the republican steering committee, a quick method of solving the par- tiamentary problem, but without success. Combination Only Solution Representative Tilson of Connecti- cut, the republican leader, expressed the opinion that hoth amendments would be eliminated if they could be voted together, but that would re- quire adoption of a special rule the bouse was regarded as unlikely to accept under the circumstances. So the chamber today confronted the possibility of having to work itself out of the tangle under the regular rules, with any member privileged to demand a separate vote on any amendment and a motion to send the measure back to committce for changes subsequeptly in order. While the two amendments could he combined through such a re- committal motion, it has to he ad- vanced by an opponent of the legis- lation, and Representative Rankin, democrat, a lcader in that groun. was prepared to use the privilege to attack the whole rea tionment provision of the hil senate Must Begin Anew The export dehenture contro- versy was thrown hack into the #1e, where the it into the farm bill over admin- istration opposition Aecision of the senate and to recommend s elinination adjusting all other it i relief measures passed s the two chambers The mational which has heen in g eral days, w 3 ' h a vote tomorrow.

The This synod now is in ses- Rockford, I, and the New cars. ion at England district is being represent- d by Rev Abel A. Ahlquist, *h. D., of this city. The Augustana ynod comprises mostly the Swedish hurches. The Ministerium of New York was in 1786; the New York ynod in 1830 and the New England ynod in 1902 Merger Movement Starts in 1917 The history of the merger move- back to 1917, when a ommission to approach the other New Its wynods was appointed by the DEALERS In Tydol GASOLINE and Veedol MOTOR OIL Three Stations: 1—Franklin Sq. Filling| 3—West Main at Corbin| Avenue proposition failed of success and after some effort the idea was temporarily abandoned. In 1923 similar commissions were appointed by all three of the interested synods and a joint commission on merger was established consisting of chair- man, H. W. Ungerer, Rochester; secretary, H. C. Yeckel, M. D., Syra- cuse; Rev. H. Brezing, Niagara Falls, president of New York Minis- terium; Rev. Theo. O. Posselt, Al- bany; August Becker, Jersey City; Rev. G. A. Bierdmann, Albany; Ar- thur W. Kimman, Syracuse; Dr. Ar- thur 8. Hardy, Hollis, L .I; Dr. C. W. Leitzell, Albany, president New York Synod; Dr. John H. Meyer, Fred' H. Wefer, New exler, New York City, president New York and New England Synod; George A. W. Achenbach., New York City: Rev. Clarence E. Krumbholz, New York City and Rev. Edwin Boettger, Buffalo. The commission met frequently during the past years gradually overcoming obstacles and progress- ing toward the merger convention. Ir the early years of the conferences on merger, the three groups appear- ed to be far apart in interests and viewpoint. Three major obstacles arose which, it seemed, were insur- mountable. One was the preserva- tion of historic names and senti- mental associations dating back for a century or more. Another was the language question. Churches catering to the German-speaking population scattered throughout the territory feared that the new large: body would be sympathetically out of accord with their needs and re- quirements. The third obstacle was the difference in viewpoint of the merging synods on the questions as to whether pastors and laymen in good standing should belong to se- cret fraterpal orders. After numer- ous conferences and repeated refer- c.ce of disputed points to the an- nual convention of the synods, con- cessions were made, and it was dis- coverced that the will to merge was strong cnough te override differences of opinion on matters of less im. portance. )Itrllu Bodies Meet On June $ and 4. each of the merging bodies met for the last time in separate conventions. The New York and New England S8ynod held their meetings in separate audi- toriums in St. John's church, Al- bany, and the New York Synod held its 100th convention at Trinity Luth- eran church, Amsterdam. Tuesday evening, June 4, that convention ad- journed to Albany, after which a formal centennial observation was held with the members of the other two synods as guests. The New York Synod itself is the result of a merger 21 years ago of the Hart- wick Synod established in 1830, the Frankean Synod established in 1837, and the New York and New Jersey Synod organized in 1871. The birth date of the New York and New Fngland Synod is September, 1902, when a group of exclusive English congregations withdrew from the New York Ministerium which was then largely German in emphasis, in order to establish their own work cn a more stable basis. Thousands Affected The New York Ministerium, oldest of the bodies, brings into the merger 145 congregations,168 pastors and a baptized membership of 96,864, The New York Synod has 160 con- gregations, 180 pastors and a bap- tized membership of 57,700. The New York and New England Synod numbers 85 congregations, 106 pas- tors and 53,444 members. The United Lutheran Synod of New York combining these figures will have 390 congregations, 454 pastors, and 208,008 baptized members. Tts strength will be greater than that of any Protestant body in the north- castern states, and in the United Lutheran church in America it will stand second only to the Pennsyl- vania Ministerium in point of per- sonnel and numbers. The total val- uation of property owned by the congregations is $26,626,516, exclu- sive of the educational institutions at Hartwick Seminary, ¢ Oneonta, N. Y., and Grymes Hill, 8. L, N. Y., while the total annual expenditures of the ns amounts to $3,648,775. The mer- ger commission will recommend that the new synod adopt a budget of $450,000 for the coming year, $300,- 000 of which will go to the United Lutheran church in America for the maintenance of educational work, home and foreign missionary enter- prises, inner mission operations and the like, while $150,000 ,will be ex- pended by the new synod for the maintenance and furtherance of its own projects.
