Synod Faces Three More Questions at Houston Convention
The Lutheran Church Missouri Synod met in Houston with three issues on today’s agenda. A site for a synodical senior college was debated along with two resolutions on the Common Confession and the 1954 56 budget. Debates delayed confession actions and discussed loans from pension funds. The body endorsed committee recommendations and reaffirmed the 1932 Brief Statement on the pope.

Steady Home Furnishings Prices Foreseen by Industry Leaders
In Chicago at the Summer Home Furnishings Market, executives predict prices will stay at January levels for months. Johnson-Carper’s K J Jordan cautions raw material and labor costs could push prices higher if advances occur. Bigelow-Sanford’s James D Wise concurs carpet prices show no current justification for change. The show draws thousands of buyers to wholesale halls while public attendance is restricted. The National Retail Furniture Association notes 1953 first quarter sales up 5.5 percent year over year with profits averaging 2.7 percent and net profit before taxes about 5.1 percent.
