FOOD MEASURE
IS INTRODUCED
Bill is Designed to Prevent a
Shortage of Food During
Time of War

WASHINGTON, April 30.--The ad-
ministration's food bills were intro
duced in the house this morning by
Representative Lever of North, Caro-
lima, a member of the agricultural
committee. The bill does not cover
the price fixing or the control of the
use of grain from distillers. These
subjects will be taken up later.
The bills introduced are designed
TO stimulate production, prevent
boarding and make for the equitable
distribution of food. 1t also suspends
the prohibition of mixing flour.
The Lever bill appropriates $685.
100000 for its enforcement and auth
orizes the appointment of two addi.
tional assistant secretaries of agri.
culture to administer il.
The measure Is designed to prevent
a shortage of food during war time,
by protecting the public against in
