Authority is sought for the agricul- tural department to take over and op crate the concerns if that course is de- manded by the public interest
 Giving the government power to deal directly in foodstuffs probably would make it's application unneces sary, Secretary Houston declared. as its very existence would tend to keep conditions normal He proposed that the government should have full dis cretion. saying it might be wise if an emergency arose to fix prices on a single commodity.
 Ma rket grades and classes for farm products, Secretary Houston said, is one of the chief needs of the country to insure proper conditions in pToduc- ing and marketing farm products.
 Authority also was asked for the de- 7'artment to require of transportation companies preference for the move snent of farm machinery, seeds, ferti- lizers and materials that enter into the processes of food production.
 Enlargement of the market news service of the department was recom- mended as means of insuring equi- table distribution, to prevent undue food shortage in any consuming cen ter and to provide against wastes due to temporary oyer-supplies of food in some communities. The department wishes to allow the market service di- vision to assist in obtaining re-routing of fOodstuffs to relieve congestion on transportation lines.
 Tn it's plan for an investiga tion of tho present food supply the department has arranged for the help of the ted eral trade commission, which with the department was directed by President Wilson early in the year to make an inquiry to ascertain the amount of food stocks and to determine if the antitrust laws have been violated in food production, storage and distribu- tion. That inquiry has been halted for lack of an appropriation.
 The two houses are expected to get together on an amount sto be appro- Driated for this inquiry and as soon as 1t IS available the trade commission will proceed.
 Some officials believe the trade com- mission has enough power to make un- certain the use of extreme legislation in regulating the control of food. al though additional powers should be given for an emergency
 Officials of all departments and di- visions of the government realize that the facts of the situation existing must be learned before remedies can be pidilIleu. NOW. no one knows now much food there is in the country and how it is distributed. Of certain foods the government has exact knowledge. but of others it has virtually none
 Suggestions that the government is contemplating measures for national prohibition during the war as a means Of increasing the food supply are met With the statement by officials that no early action in that direction is likely as it is not considered necessary at this time. Secretary Houston alluded to it today in his letter to the senate by reference to European action in restricting the manufacture of alcohol lc liquors. He made no recommenda- tons, however, merely pointing out that the European governments have saved considerable food this way. Els inmates, he said, put the amount of food made into liquor in the United States at about S145,000,OOO annually.

 How many millions of these certifi- cates will be issued has not yet been determined The first offer Secre- tary McAdoo announced, probably will be s2OO ,000. GOO. Other offers, by the hundreds of millions. probably will fol- low as the funds are needed. The in terest rate has not been definitely de- cided on Under the law the secretary may pay up to 312 per cent. Sounding of sentiment yesterday and today re- vealed a willingness of banks to take substantial offering at as low rate as 2l5 per cent,and Secretary McAdoo an- nounced that "a wide market could be created for the certincates If they were offered at per cent.

 A representative of the West Coast Lumber Manufacturers Association ln- sisted there was no emergency justify ing the increase Not more equipment, but more efficient operation was needed he declared. The National As sociation of Paving Brick Manufactur- CTS asserted that their produce be eliminated from the proposed general increase. while the Southern Cypress Manufacturers Associations represen- tative declared members of that or ganization already had stood their full share of rate advances. The National League of Commission Merchants sug- geSted that any new rates adopted should be temporary, while the Nation al Grange opposed any increases to compensate the railroads for increased wages.
 The grange representative said all legged leakages in railroad systems through inside holding companies should be stopped in the interest of the general public.
 Spokesmen of the Houston CTexas) chamber of commerce asked that ter ritory affected in the Shreveport rate case be eliminated if the commission should decide to grant the fifteen per  cent increase to the roads. which was characterized as a tax upon industry They also asked assurances that the manufacturers and middlemen would not boost the prices from 30 to 40 per cent if the rate increases were allowed. Frank Lyon, representing several groups of shippers. said some railroads needed more revenue, while others did not, and that there was no need of Re fn u- ial1 they were not essential.

WASHINGTON, April 20.-The first real fight over the administration war program will begin tomorrow, when the senate takes ups the army bill drawn by the general staff and ap- proved by President Wilson. The bill goes to the senate with seventeen members of the military committee in favor of a call for volunteers instead of the proposal of the bill to raise the war army by selective draft.
 There is certain to be several days of debate No effort is expected on the part of opponents of the draft to delay a vote, but many senators who favor the bill want to discuss it before they vote. Lines have not been definitely drawn, but friends of the bill were con- fident tonight it would be passed by a good majority Senator Chamberlain chairman of the committee, said 1t would pass virtually as reported
 Efforts to change the measure will center on the amendment beaten in committee to add the general stairs g plan, a provision authorizing call for volunteers, offered by Senator Me kellar, a democrat. A report prepared by the Tennessee senator, supporting the amendment has the approval of six

WASHINGTON, April 20.-The sen ate recorded itself today in favor of press censorship during the war.
 A censorship clause of the admins trations espionage bill, after decided modification, was retained in the bill by vote of 43 to B, in which partisan division was recorded The vote came after three days of sharp debate and was regarded as definitely forecasting final retention of the censorship pro- visions.
 Later the bill, still far from complet- ed was laid aside indefinitely to permit consideration, beginning tomorrow, of the war and army measure The house judiciary committee has completed it's draft of the espionage bill, also with censorship clause, and will report it Monday. The provision, as finally ac- cepted by the senate follows:
 Whoever, in time of war, in viola ton of reasonable regulations to be prescribed by the president which is hereby authorized to make and pro- mitigate, shall publish any information with respect to the movement. num- bers, description, condition or disposi- tion of any of the armed forces, ships. aircraft, or war materials of the United States, or with respect to the plans or conduct of any naval or military operations, or with respect to any works or measures undertaken for or connected with, or intended for the Notifications or defense of any place. or any other information relating to the public defense calculated to be use ful to the enemy. shall be punished by fine of not more than S10,000 or by imprisonment for not more than ten years or by both such fine and impris- onment, provided that nothing in this section shall be construed to limit or restrict, nor shall any regulation herein provided for limit or restrict. any discussion, comment or criticism Of the acts or policies of the govern ment or it's representatives or the pub lication of the same"
 Advocates of the provision admitted that 1t would confer wide powers upon the president to restrict publication Of military alter, both in the press or by individuals in speeches or other wise It's foes declared that it was un- constitutional and the most drastic curb upon freedom of speech and the press guaranteed by the constitution ever proposed during the nations en- tire history.
 Before the final vote the original committee draft, much more sweeping and drastic, was greatly modified. The committee proposed to prohibit not only the publication of military infor- nation except under presidential regu- iations, but also it's collection, record ing, or attempts to elicit it.
