CONGRESS AIMS
 TO END SESSION

tContinued from Page D any session find the Senate tagging and the House with It's calendar almost clear. This time the de. sired" legislation Is piled up in the House.
 The Senate has passed on oil of MT. Rooseveit's revised 1887 pro. gram except sugar quota and tax loopholes. The House has passed the sugar bill but still must deal with wage and hours, housing and tax loopholes.
 The House previously had passed Judiciary bill similar to that which slipped through the Senate and therefore there are legislative shortcuts to final action. House leaders hoped to send the Judiciary bill directly to conference today.
 While the Senate considers sugar legislation this week the House will be marking time virtually until Thursday, when the wage and hour Dill is due under c rule to assure final action by Friday. Saturday the House will probably consider tho Wagner. .steagall Housing Bill.
 Housing Bill Tied Up
 The housing measure was still tied up today in the house banking and currency committee. Demo. cratic whip Patrick J. Roland of Pennsylvania said. however, that assurances had been received that the bill would be reported by Wednesday.
 The House ways and means com. nlittee became the pivot of the ad- Journment situation, holding as 1t does the fifth desired" biil--the tax loophole- closing Tneasure-in It's control. Open hearings began on the bill today.
 Committee Chairman RotGrt L. Doughton, D.. N. 0. predicted that the bill would be in shape for House consideration early next week.
 If the House is able to clear the tax bill by a week from tomorrow and If in the meantime 1t has passed housing and wages and hours legislation, leaders believe that differences between Senate and House forms of desired" meas ures can be adjusted so that ad- journment by Aug. 2i will be pos sible.

 It was believed that the Nasi church authorities, dismayed by this defiance of quiet, home loving peo- pie and the acquittai last week of pr. Friedrich Otto Dibelius, on cNorses of violating Nasi oppressive decyees, wished more time to elapse pelore they prosecuted the beloved Niemoller.

 Parishioners continued to flock to his church and other pastors, and their followers, went to carry on his work. From his prison cell, Niemoller sent messages of cheer to his people which were read from his pulpit. Dr. Friedrich Otto Dibelius. among others, read these messages and other declarations. Dibelius was arrested. and acquit- ted only Friday of charges that he, too, had defied the Nazi reich.
 Despite the order of the secret police cancelling last nights service men and women converged on the church. They found police barring entrances, so they massed outside.
 At first the police made no at. tempt. Volunteer pastors addressed the crowd and all sang hymns. Then the police moved to disperse the people. Men and women defied them openly and refused to leave.

 Postal trucks, returning to the city after vain efforts to deliver mails for the south, reported that Chinese and Japanese troops were fighting at Yangliuching, 10 miles west of Tientsin where the Pukow railroad turns southward. A little farther south on the railroad, at Chinghaih- sien, Chinese troops repulsed a sur prise Japanese cavalry attack Sat- urday, according to Chinese inform ants,

 Japanese army men professed to be gravely concerned ct communist activities and said that they re- ceived information that the Chinese communist army, which has been operating in the west for yea , and numbers some of the toughest nght- CTS in the country, was marching rapidly eastward toward the Peipino area.
 In their latest move to dominate North China, the Japanese put q tight grip on Peiping, the ancient capital which, many experts believe Japan wants to make into capita again with the young Emperor Rang Teh, heir of the Manchu rul. CTS of China, as emperor of tho combined states of Manchukuo ant North China.
 The latst vestige of Chinese au' thority in Peiping evaporated yes' terday when 1000 Japanese troop marched into the city, preceded b, cavalry scouts, and occupied the main Chinese barracks.
 Grim faced, the people of tn, city watched as the troops passed through the streets.
 Statement of Japan
 As soon as the occupation hat been effected, the following state ment was Issued from the Japanes, occupation headquarters:
 "The people need not fear unles they make disturbances. Japanes, troops are resting In Peiping for 1 days. The public is warned tha Japanese troops will not overlool any Illegal activities or disturbances such as spreading rumors,"
