 Members of the House Committee on Horticulture, including Representative Adams Of wisconsin. assisted by sev- oral oficials of the Department of Ag- rIculture devoted some time today to the discussion of various features or the amendment proposed by the House Committee to which the President has pointed out his objections. There is a meeting of the full Committee tomor- row and an effort is being made to agree on some ground of modification of the objectionable features so as to facilitate action on the measure.
 Mir Adams, who was at the White House Friday and was made acquaint- ed with the Presidents views, explained them In detail to his colleagues on the Committee today. suggested amend ment which Mir. Adams says emanated from the Department of Agriculture of fcials, and which is said Is favorably considered by the President. has been brought forward to eliminate the objec- tions set out by the President to the court review proposed by the amend ment. This new proposition is design cd to give the Secretary of Agriculture the fnal control of the situation so far as the question of the fitness of the slaughtered animals for human food is concerned, by the insertion of the fol- lowing clause In the paragraph of the amendment relating to the inspection and condemnation of the post mortem examination of such animals:
 Which in the judgment of tho Sec retary of Agriculture are sound, health ful, wholesome and At for human food"
 This clause is suggested to take the place of the words found to be un- sound, unhealtaful," etc.
 The proposed amendment Is expected to meet with opposition from the pack ing interests. who object to delegating such final authority .o the Department officials.
 MT. Adams expressed the opinion that the Committee on Agriculture will re- cede from its position, waiving the ap- pointment of inspectors under the Civil Seervice Commission. This waiver was inserted in the amendment because he says the Committee was under the er- roneous impression that the Depart ment had not a sufficient list of per sons available for that position.
 Chairman Wadsworth of the Commit tee, who is in New York. is expected to return to the city tomorrow
