IS SEEN THIS SESSION

er of Block in Congress,
Makes Prediction.
8T the Associated Press.

b tbs, Associated Press.
Representative Cummings, Democrat,
Of Colorado, leader of the congressional
sugar bloc, predicted today there would
be no sugar legislation at this session
Of Congress.
The, administration is seeking to
maintain present quotas allowed Cuba
and to increase the refined sugar
quotas, for Hawaii and Puerto Rico.
Domestic cane and beet growers and
domestic rehners wish to increase do
nlestic quotas and to decrease offshore
refined allowances.
Failure to enact any legislation
would dispense with the quota system
and place unlimited supplies of off,
shore and foreign sugar in competition
with mainland production. The Jones'
Cosugan act, providing the quota
system, expires December 81.

Long-Term Loans.


B. the Associated Press.
Congressional leaders cleared the
way today for House consideration
next week Of long-pending, contro-
versial farm tenancy legislation rec
commended by President Roosevelt.
To comply with the administration's
policy of holding down new expendi-
lures. the House Agriculture Commit

months ago. It slashed the appro-
priations which the measure would
authorize from $40 0,000, 600 for a five
year period to sl35,OoO,0oo for three
years.
Leaders said they expected this
action to eliminate objections Of the
Rules Committee, which previously
blocked the legislation on the grounds
its authorizations were excessive.
The new bill would provide So
00o,00 in 1888, $4,000 900 in 1889
and $50, ,0oo, 900 in 1910 for long term,
low-interest loans to tenants, share
croppers and farm laborers for the

100000 in 1898 and $40, ,ooO, 600 each
IN 1899 and 1910 for the purchase
and retirement from cultivation of
submarginal land. A provision of
the old bill authorizing $4,000 900
during 1888 and 1899 for short-term
loans to low-income farmers for o.
Grating expenses, was eliminated.

BERLIN. June 18.-More than 500
pastors of the Protestant Confessional
Synod have been arrested under Nazi
rule, Rev. Martin Niemoeller, militant
leader Of Protestant opposition to gov
ernment domination of the church,
charged today.
Most of the clergymen, Herr Me
moeller said, were arrested soon after
the Nazis came into power in 1898
Ultimately almost all were released,
until new wave Of arrests began
recently.
There were between 20 and 80 in
the most recent group of arrested
clergymen, said Herr Niemoeller.
Last night Herr Niemoeller ad-
derssed tremendous congregation In
residential suburb. He had to re-
peat his sermon to second audience.
The only untoward incident occur
red when q woman arose and walked
out. commenting tartly, Shame on
such inciting speeches" Only occu-
pants Of pews near her heard the re-
mark, however.
After the second service Hitler
Youth members attempted to start a
demonstration before the church, but
the congregation refused to be pro-
voked as it emerged.
Herr Niemoeller, mincing no words,
declared the Protestant church never
would be fitted into a political frame
work.
He said he understood authorities
had set the Evangelical Church elec-
tions for June ~ now that the whole
directorate OF the whole confessional
church has been suppressed"
After listing more oppositional pas
tors he said had been arrested. ex-
PEELED, or forbidden their pulpits, and
charging the ofnces of the Prusstan
Council Of Brethren had been sealed
up by the authorities, paralyzing its
labors, the pastor declared:
1.-THE elections are the reverse OF
free. Only the enemies Of the church
have . free hand. II the object Is that
the church Is to be fitted into q po-
litical framework, the answer can only
be: No!
FOR then the Evangelical Church
would be left under the guidance of
those whom Christ called false shep-
herds and hirelings.' Any reorganiza-
ton Of the church only can be affected
from the standpoint that God alone u
Lord Of t1s church"
