PRESIDENT WILSON COMES ID SUPPORT
 OF FOOD MEASURE

Washington, July 13-President Wilson today came to the support of the ad- ministration food control bill as origin ally submitted to Congress.
 In response to a request from Senate leaders for assistance in solving the diff faculties standing in the way of action there, the President sent to Democratic Leader Martin personal letter recom- niending the general purposes of the original bill for government control of foods, feeds and fuels only. He wrote that he believed unnecessary the exten- sion of government control as proposed ir amendments attached in Congress, to steel, iron, copper, cotton, wool, leather and other products
 The substitute bill, drawn by Senator Gore, was opposed by the President as an emasculation of the administrat ton legislation. He wrote that he deplored the delay the bill and considered prompt final disposition of the legisla- ton imperative.
 The I'resident's letter, which was not made public, is understood not to have discussed prohibition in any form. Upon reliable authority, however, it was said that in his conference yesterday with
 
 pressed disagreement with the Shoot amendment, adopted by the Senate last week, directing purchase by the govern ment of all stocks of distilled bever- ages in bond at cost plus 10 per cent. Upon receipt of the Presidents letter, administrati tion leaders prepared to get action along the lines suggested. Sen ators Lodge, Shoot and other republican leaders were called in conference and a meeting of the democratic steering committee for next week was arranged. Attempts were made by Senator Gore and Reed to secure by parliamentary moves immediate consideration of the Gore substitute Vice President Mar shall ruled that until the pending admin istration bill is entirely perfected by amendment. the Gore substitute will not be in order. I
 The Senate spent the whole day de- batting an amendment designed to pre- vent members of the defense councils advisory commission from selling their own products to the government Just before adjournment Senator Pomerene offered a substitute which Senator Chamberlain, in charge of the bill, agreed to accept merely prohibiting the commissioners from working for con tracts in which they have personal n- terests
