BIG INTERESTS
TRY TO DEFEAT
FOOD CONTROL
Assistant Secretary VrOoman
Declares Unpatri0tic
Motives at Work.

Washington, May 1l.--A food control
bill approved by the administration
and containing many features of the
agriculture measures pending in the
house was introduced in the senate
today by Senator Gore, chairman of
the agricultural committee. An early
effort will be made to bring 1t to the
senate floor.
The bill contains most of the pro-
posals fought, according to Carl Vroo-
man, assistant secretary of agricul-
ture, by IA powerful lobby of wealthy
food gamblers. 1t calls for u food sur
v"y by tn" agricultural department
and would give the department power
to license the manufacture, storage
and distribution or food. ono proyi-
sion would lcgalizc the mixture of
wheat and other cereals in the max
ing OF flour and would fix food stand :
ards.
Mr.. Nrooman in a formal statement
were trying to defeat the food bill
An outraged public sentiment, he said
would condemn them for their efforts.
The house agricultural committee
heard several food experts during the
day, among them Kirby G. White of
Detroit, president of the American
Seed association, who advocated pow
or for tho government to take over and
sell the country's seed supply. John
&. NcPhaTrin Of Pennsylvania, repre-
scnting the National Grange, asked
that no now agency be created to deal
with IN" food supply but urged that
congress take whatever action is nee
cssarv and not delegates power T.
someone else. A committee TO deal
with the situation was the suggestion
of Joseph cullinan, representing tho
Texas industrial congress. Edwin Z
Dinwidde. representing temperance or
ganizations, urged national prohibition
TO conserve the grain supply:
Secretary Rcdficld said in a state
mcnt today supporting the food bill
that there was no economic reason fOl
present high food prices and that thu
government would have to take charg,
to prevent further rises.
