WASHINGTON April 2n.-The gov
ernments program for food control
during the war was put before con-
gress today by Secretary Houston in
communication to the senate ask
ing power for the department Of as-
ricuture 10 take direct supervision OF
food production and distribution IN
the United States and requesting a
s25 10000 appropriation for putting
ne plan into operation.
Authority was asked for the Couh-
ell of National Defense, in an emer:
Gency, 10 buy and sell foodstuffs and
10 fix maximum and minimum prices.
Make Complete Survey.
As outlined 10 the senate. the gov
ernmenL's plan is first TO make a COM
iplete survey Of the country's food sup:
ply to determine it's ownership ard
distribution. then If necessary 10
license and control the operations Of
all concerns engaged in the manufac-
ture of food or feeds, agricultural I'M
p!ements and all materials required
for AGRICULTURAL purposes. Authority
is sought for agricultural depart
ment to take over and operate the
concerns if it appears any time that
course is demanded by public interest.
Giving the government power 10
deal directly in foodstuffs probably
would make It's application unneces-
sary. Secretary Houston declared, IS
its very existence would tend to keep
conditions normal. He proposed that
the government should have full dis
cretion. saying 1t might be wise if any
emergency arose to fix prices on
single commodity.
Market grades and classes for farm
products. Secretary Houston said, is
one Of the chief needs of the country
to insure proper conditions in produc-
ling and marketing farm products,
Authority also was asked for the de-
partment to require OF transportation
companies preference for the. move
ment Of farm machinery. seeds, fer
ltillzers and materials that enter into
the process Of food production.

Enlargement of the market news
service OF the department was rec
commended as means Of securing

due food shortage in any consuming
center and to provide against wastes
