FOOD CONTROL
STIRS ORATORY
Amended Bill Carries Au-
thority to Fix Prices and
Make Purchases.

Niasaras Of oratory dashed at the
food control bill will be practically
through with today. The ten-mInute
rule goes into effect Tkursday. pre-
-cedlng the finai vote Saturday.
The new amendments to the bill
were submitted yesterday in printed
form.
As expected, the "necessaries" have
been eliminated, and control Is lin
tied TO foods, feeds and fuel, with
gasoline and kerosene added. Very
important is the compromise proposed
on the food administration. The
President is authorized to appoint a
board of three men, at a salary of
1850 each. One must be "a farmer
actually engaged at the time OF his
appointment in the cultivation of the
soil.
The section preventing members of
the advisory commission of the Coun-
ell OF National Defense from partici-
pating in government control declares,
that these men cannot solicit, in
duce or attempt to induce" contracts,
and II advising on these contracts.
must tell their financial interest In
any concerns involved. Licensing, in
stead of applying to importation, ex-
portation, manufacture, storage, min
ing and distribution" is now confined
to grain elevators, cold storage. pack
ing houses, farm implement manufac-
turers, coal mines and fertilizers.
The President can buy or sell or
store fuel. wheat, -four. meal, beans
and potatoes.
Under the new wheat guarantee
section the President can have the
Board of Food Administration guar
antee wheat prices for eighteen
months, at a time. The minimum
price is S1.75. In order to prevent i'm
pointed wheat from breaking Ameri-
can prices. the President can impose,
on this wheat, a duty sufficient TO
bring It to the American price. The
President may also buy, sell or store
wheat for this country or the allies.
No changes were made in the pro-
hibition section Of the bill. These will
be left until the measure reaches con-
ference between the two Houses.
The speech OF the day was made by
Hiram johnson, OF California. who, in
short, dynamic sentences, voiced his
idea that there should be some re-
striction upon the Advisory Commits
sion in the matter OF government con-
tracts
Senator Kenyon recited a speech
by Congressman Good. OF Iowa, in
which 1t was said that J. F. Nc
Elwain chairman of the shoe COM
mittee, Of the Advisory Commission,
made a profit of $4,000 more be-
cause Of his Connection. The allega-
ton was that 10000 shoes were
bought from McElwain's factory at
fifteen cents higher than the lowest
bid. Senator Gore criticised Herbert
c. Hoover. Senator Myers declared
Hoover patriotic and self-sacrificing
and deplord the criticism Of him.
