VOTE ON FOOD BILL
SET; CLOTURE OFF
IT APPEARS LIKELY THAT ONLY
CONTROL EXERCISED WILL BE
OVER FOODS AND FUEL.

Wsshington.-An agreement Was
,eached 10 dispose of the food control
bill by July y. Senator chamberlain
withdrew the big stick OF clotuFe
which he held over the head ot the
Senate. And al last the end or the
long debate is at least in sight.
Following the criticisms tnat his
amendment was unconstitutional Sen
ator SmoOt of Utah prepared 10 dratt
another which would leave to the
courts the task of fixing the price OF
cOmmandeered liquors. Senator Gore
of Oklahoma offered such an amend
ment included in substitute ior tAe
entire food bill. Many senators
however. held that any attempt 10
needle again with prohibition leSlS-
lation would be- violation OF the
unanimous agreement recently reach-
ed. Senator Norris Of Nebraska sent
in harmless-loOking amendment.
which would actually make prohlbl-
ion permanent. There seems littie
doubt that the provisions fixing prices
of wheat. cotton. metals, etc, VIII
b. eliminated. There is great obIec-
tiOn to these. 1t appears likely tha'
the only control exercised will be
over foods and fuel.
Both the agricultural committee Ci
! the Senate and the steering commit
/ tee had prepared to cut other neceS
! stiles than food and fuel from the
| bill. They feared that the measure
would never succeed and It was
| "overloaded The securing OF agree
ment Obviated this necessity. There
| was only a general discussion. II Is
said The changes will BE- made, not n
the committee. but on the floor OF th'
Senate.
The agreement came a. surprise
. Senator simmons OF North Carolina
chairman of the Senate finance com
mittee. had been speaking. He SAID
thar. much a. he depIored it. he would
not be able 10 vote for the clotur'
and thus aid IN forcing the BIZ
