President TTunQnS Stdtenlent
today on the ertra session OF
Congress-.
It now appears that the Eightieth
Congress is determined to take no
effective action on the proposals
which I have submitted to curb
high prices and to protect the aver
age American citizen against the
certain prospect of increased living
costs.
1 have been informed that the
Republican leadership has decided
that the Congress will not be al
lowed to consider really effective
measures to stop high prices. Re-
publican leaders reached this de-
cision without obtaining the full in
formation the administration was
prepared to offer in connection with
my recommendations. In fact, the
chairman of the House Committee
on Banking and Currency refused
request for three cabinet members
to be given an opportunity to testify
before the committee.
The Secretaries of Agriculture
Commerce and Interior were ano
are now prepared to testify. The
Secretary of Agriculture was pre-
pared to offer a program directed
to the problem of excessive food
prices. The Secretary of Commerce
was prepared to discuss with the
committee the question of short
ages of industrial materials and
what could be done to correct the
situation. The Secretary of the In
terror was prepared to submit a pro-
gram dealing with the proper dis
tribution and prices of coal, heating
oil and other fuels.
The committees of the House re-
fused to receive the views OF these
members of my cabinet. In the alb
sence of such basic information,
do not see how the committee car
make an intelligent decision on is
sues which so gravely affect the vel.
fare of the American people anc
their standard of living.
Following the same pattern, the
Ways and Means Committee of the
House refused to give any consid'
Grafton to the recommendations fol
an excess profits tax, which is nee.
essary to offset the infiationary ef-
fects of the tax bill passed las
spring. The chairman of this com.
mittee has not even called meet
ing of the committee since the Con.
gress reconvened.
1t would appear that the Repub-
lican leaders are unwilling to exteno
to the Congress an opportunity te
vote on the issues of direct price

as pastor. He served from 1882
until April, 1908, resigning. to be-
come minister of the German
English Church at Detroit.
During the period from 1871 to
1882 the name was changed to the
Church OF the Fatherland." Upon
Mr.. Homrighaus taking over the
pastorate the congregation returned
to its original name.
The need of a larger building soon
resulted in efforts to erect a new
church. This took place during the
pastorate of the Rev. Charles F.
Bergner, who came in 1904 and left
in 1912. From July IS, 1906, when
the last service was held in the old
church, to March 3, 1907, when the
first service was held in the Sunday
school room of the new edifice,
worship was conducted in the Bap-
tist Sunday school at Fifth and P
streets NV.
The members worshipped in the
IlcW tIQCGQIc, WHICH WdS uculCdLcu
May 10, 1907, until 1928. They then
moved to their present home, which
was dedicated December 2, 1928.
Today the pulpit, lectern, altar, cross
and candlesticks carry on the con-
tinuity of the old church into the
new building. The altar and cross
were given by the confirmation
class of 1905: the lectern and pulpit
by the Everready Circle of 1907.
Until 1918 the services were con-
Quoted in German. In that year
the members voted to hold the 10
am. service in German and the
IL am. in English. The change to
the present all-English meetings
subsequently took place though no
specific time marks the transition.
The Rev. Richard Schmidt came
in 1912 and remained 20 years. He
was succeeded by the Rev. Edward
@. Goetz, who served from July 5,
1882, to August 81, 1914. Mr.. Gaetz
