HOUSE IS EXPECTED
TO ACT TOMORROW
Likely to Adopt Conference Re-
port on Food Control and
Survey Bills.
MAY BE AGREEMENT TODAY

Adoption by the House tomorrow OF
conference reports on both the food
control and food survey bills today
appeared probable.
Although the conferees had not
agreed on the food survey bill report,
Chairman Lever of the agricultural
committee felt so confident that an
agreement would be reached today that
he obtained consent to print 1t in the
Record tonight along with the food
control bill report. Anxious inquiry by
republicans as to whether debate on
the reports would be limited 80 that
they could expect early action brought
an affirmative reply from Mr.. Lever.
Adoption of the reports by the House
tomorrow and Senate action on them
early next week appeared probable.
Senate Opposition Is Foreseen.
When the conference report on the
Senate. probably on Saturday or on
Monday. 1T will meet with bitter oppo-
sition. 1t 1t may take several days to
put 1t through. Senator Chamberlain,

The manner in which President Will
son virtually ordered out of the bill
two Senate amendments, one creating
the war expenditures committee and
the other providing for a board OF food
administration instead of a single ad-
ministrator, has aroused the keenest
resentment on the part Of democratic
senator's as well as republican.
Senator Warren Changes Vote.
The final agreement on the confer
ence report was reached after 1t had
begun to appear that the bill might
die in conference. Senator Warren of
Wyoming. republican, changed his vote
from no to AYE" on motion to strike
out the war expenditures committee,
thus breaking the deadlock.
Senator Warren did not change his
vote. however. until assurances had been
given by the Senate rules committee
that the original Weeks resolution pro-
viding for a joint committee on the
conduct Of the war. with fuller powers
than. the proposed committee on ex-
penditures. would be reported to the
Senate. so that action might be taken
upon 1t as separate measure.
Today 1t was stated by republican
senator's that the effort to create a
committee on the conduct Of the war
would be continued. that amendments
providing for such committee would
be offered to the revenue bill and to
the appropriation bills which must
come before the Senate.
