Washington, Aug. 6-Resumption of senate debate today on the conference report of the administration food con- trol bill was marked by bitter exchange between those advocating and those opposing the legislation. After a days discussion of the bill IS finally drafted by the conferees, administration lead CTS and some of the chief opponents said it would be disposed of Wednes- day.
 Senator Chamberlain, the adminis- tration manager, and Senator Gore, who has been prominent in the oppo sition, clashed sharply during the de- bate, after Senator Reed had made another speech of more than three hours, attacking the measure and Her
 bert c. Hoover. When Senator Gore imputed that the senate conferees had yielded the senate's judgment to that of the president, Senator Chamberlain, in vehement speech, declared that
 the Oklahoma senator had consistent l ly obstructed the food bill and also other administration mea sures. T had rather be charged with fol- lowing in the footsteps of the distin-
 guished president of the United States Oregon senator, Crawling, if you | please, on my knees, and licking Ghe | dust from his feet as has been sug-
 gested here, than to stand in opposi- | tion to him and to be concerting, to be conspiring with and treating with the enemies of the president"
 Senator Gore denied obstructing the | bill, or, as Senator Chamberlain had | suggested, the army draft law. Senator Hollis, who served promi- nently in drafting the so-called lead | CTS compromise" bill in the senate. | announced that he would vote against | the conference report because of elim- | ination of his amendment designed to exempt labor unions from the pro- | visions of the bill.
 Recession of the senate conferees on | the provision for a congressional com mittee to supervise war expenditures. | stricken out largely because Of the presidents strong opposition, was de- ! nounced by Senator Ha rdwick and de- | tended by Senators Williams and | Wolcott.
 Senator Williams declared that there | is either more intended than is appar- | ent in the language of the proposal to create the joint committee on war ex- | penditures or it is unnecessary. If it has any ulterior purpose, what l is it?" he demanded. Tt may be to display suspicion and create lack of trust in the executive whose duty it is to carry on the war" The Mississippi senator declared that were he the president and such a committee were authorized by congress he would veto the measure and tell them he was re- sponsible to the people who elected him and that he regarded such an act as lack of confidence. He pointed out that congress already has power to in- vestigate every item of expenditl Ez';,

 Impaired by Confinement in Jail.

Mineola, L. L, Aug. 6-Three physi- clans late today examined Mrs. Blanca De Saulles, at the request of her at torney, Henry A.

Held It's First Conference With Pres
 ident Wilson Yesterday.

F1eiO us iFSL 1CnTGrenCe Wlth FreS-
 ident Wilson Yesterday.
 Washington, Aug. 6-The new war industries board held it's first confer ence with President Wilson today and took up in general the problems it must face in the purchase of war sup plies for this government and the al- lies. The president indicated his idea of the boards functions.
 One of the points decided was that the allies of the United States should be given the same advantages in the purchases of war materials as this country enjoys. The board will meet again tomorrow to discuss it's plans in greater retail.
 Members of the board are Frank Scott, Bernard M. Baruch, Hugh Frayne, Robert S. Brookings' R. s. Lovett, Lieutenant Colonel Palmer E. Pierce and Rear Admiral Frank F. Fletcher Secretary Daniels also at- tended the conference.
 The question of co-ordinating Amer Ican and allied purchases will be one of the first to be taken up by the board. At tomorrroW's meeting a gen. eral plan probably will be outlined
 Allied purchases soon will be made by Bernard Baruch, who is to be des- ignated by the allied governments as their buying commissioner. At the same time he will be chairman of a purcnaslng commission for the Amer ican government to be formed of members of the war board with Her bert Hoover as a member in charge of food purchases.
 Officials believe that ultimate tely a system may be evolved under which one man will do all the American and allied buying, members of the war board serving as advisors. Legisla- ton would be required however be- fore the government departments could delegate purchases to any person outside of their organizations.
