ABSOLUTE POWER
FOR FOOD DICTATOR
PLAN Of CONGRESS
Senate Has Question of Fixing
Wide Powers for Hoover
Before 1t, With Speedy Ac-
ton Very Likely

WASHINGTON, May 2t.--Fixing wide
powers for Herbert Hoover, the coun-
try's war food administrator. was the
task before the senate today.
Spurred on by urgent word from tine
White House that immediate action
should be taken to enable Hoover to
assume his stupendous task, administra
ton leaders were prepared to give the
food control bill the right of way until
1t is disposed of.
To accelerate action on the measure,
Senator Gore, Oklahoma, in charge of
the bill, will rush through only the
most vital features of the food legis-
lation and those features upon which
the Least objection could be raised.
These include:
Granting general war powers to the
president for carrying on the general
work Of stimulating, conserving and
distributing food during the war.
Providing the authority and an APP
preparation for a complete and detail
ed survey of the whole food situa lion
in the United States.
Adopting measures prohibiting stor-
ing of large quantities of food during
the war.
Providing means OF preventing con-
spiracies to hoard foodstuSfs during the
between American and Canadian distrib-
utors for instance working to corner"
necessities.
Licensing distributors Of all kinds d
Providing that the government may
establish standards for flour milling,
etc, If found necessary.
There are other powers asked by the
president which will be passed on later.
IL is the urgent desire of the presi-
hot min a.
ton be put through Immediately sol
that Hoover can begin the effective
work before him.
The question of fixing maximum and
minimum prices on foodstuffs during
the war will await solution by the SEN
ate, pending action by the house. Bit
ter opposition has arisen. In both
branches of congress to granting this
particular authority to the president and
il was deemed inadvisable to endanger
the whole bill by including 1t in the
Immediate emergency" program now
before the senate
The same situation arises about the
authority sought by the president TO
prohibit the use of grains and FOOD
stuffs in the manufacture Of lntoXl-
cants This will be pressed by the ad-
ministration later but not now-unless
the "drys" attempt to attach IT to the
measure now pending.
I'VE will push our war prohibition
legislation whenever and wherever 1t
appears opportune." said Senator Shep-
pard, leader of the senate "drys," to-
day. II cannot say whether the pres
ent bill will be the opportune time or
not as yet"
While the senate worked on the food
bill the house continued its efforts 20
iron out the $4,000, 100000 tax bill and
Representative Kitchin, in charge of the
bill, hoped to have the measure ready
for the senate by Wednesday.

days with his rod and line. When recently
he captured the silver button for hauling
In the largest yellow tail caught on the
Pacific coast In fourteen months, he felt
rather chesty, but his new triumph as
shown above, puts all his previous records
to shame.
The beauty referred to weighs Just ITO
pounds and gave Dusty" and Percy Neal,
his boatman. one of the grandest battles
of their young lives. Mr.. Fish Is a mem :
her of the Black Sea Bass family and was
declared "out" in the short time of twenty
two minutes.
Needless to say DUSTY" did not appear
as immaculate after the twenty-five minutes
were up as when this photo was snapped.
No indeed. his clothes we're quite ready
for charity. However. the catch was well
worth any loss In wearing apparel that
Farnum may have sustained.
The fish was carefully packed and shipped
to a prominent Los Angeles restaurant,
where 1t was prepared for a special din
