Bureau, and the Walther League for their extensive efforts in
bringing the name, the work, and, above all, the saving message of
our Church before the public.

2. That we acknowledge the cooperation of the local Press Com-
mittees, the Associated Press, the United Press, the International
News Service, and other news agencies, the National and other
broadcasting companies with Synod’s Press Committee in the work
of covering the proceedings of Synod.

granted an annual appropriation of $2,500.

4. That Synod’s officers and committees make available to the
Press Committee such information as it may require for release to
the general public.

5. That we deplore the fact that in spite of Synod’s resolution of

1926 pertaining to the collaboration of District press committees

instances not been forthcoming, and that we urge all District Presi-
dents and their press committees to give this matter their immediate
and continued attention.
