CHURCH LOBBYING
Minister Scores Attempts of
Other Groups to Influence
Legislation.

Disclosures made to the Senate COM
mitee investigating lobbying were dis
cussed from the pulpit Of the First Con-
gregstional Church yesterday in a state
met1t prepared by the pastor. Rev. Jason
Noble Pierce, as prelude to the morn
ing sermon.
Estimating that more than 1000
lobbyists represent 500 organizations
here, mot counting the spokesman who
come from time to time to impress the
President and Congress with their de-
sires, DR.. Pierce's statement said:
1T would be relief to Congress and
a blessing to the country If most If
these buSybodies could be swept out of
Washington and put at constructive
labor elsewhere"
Expressing the opinion that there is a
legitimate field for honest lobbying"
DR.. Pierces statement cited the work OF
the Federal Council OF Churches as
conspicuous in this field
I'm contrast to groups seeking to
change the tariff or taxation laws for
their own advantage, the Federal Coun-
Gil OF Churches in America has never ad-
vocated selfish interest, nor sought to
persuade d solitary Congressman, never
offered q dollar or premium. never
mixed into partisan politics nor main
tanned professional lobby
On the other hand, the paper said
that "a most unethical practice of GER
tain lobbyists is to flood the country
with misinformation, half truths,
biased reports masquefAding as fair
Thus a miSled public
opinion is formulated to influence leg
islation."
In DR.. Pierce's unexpected absence
from the city yesterday his paper was
read by E. Donald Preston, a member
of the church.
