DRY FIGHT BITTER
Friends of Food Bill Determined
To Halt Filibustering.
Leader Chamberlain s'fOr Good
of Country" To Limit Debate.

- Washington, July with the
wet" ard dry fight growing in Bit
terness and the shadow of the new
cloture rule over the chamber the
senate resumed debate on the food
bill at IL O'Clock today.
The usually mild tactics of Senate:
Chamberlain, in charge of the bill,
have given away to a sharper general
ship. His aides, friends of the food
bill on both sides of the senate. are
buckling on their armament pre- pared
to use vigorous efforts to shatter any
attempted filibuster.
Chamberlain said early today that
he is going to have a record vote on a
limited debate rule. for the benefit
of the country" The vote probably
will come Thursday.
Meantime conferences went on
while the senate talked on amend
I--nts to the food bill. If it is seen
that no cloture can possibly be adopt
ed until after the dry amendmen.
to the measure is disposed of, it is
likely an effort will be made to vote
on that amendment very soon. Both
''wets" and ''drys" today were charg-
ing each other with being responsible
for delaying passage of the food bill.

Member of National Defense Council
Takes Shot at Congress Bill.

Chicago, July 3.-Julius Rosenwald,
chairman of the committed on sup
plies of the council of national de-
tense, has issued statement in
which he charges that legislation
pending in congress putting the mem
bers of the council upon the same
footing as congressman in the mat
ter of accepting contracts for the
government would practically put the
council out of business. He said:
congressman under the constitu-
ton cannot be interested in any con-
tracts with the government. and con-
gress now. it appears, has tackled a
rider to the food bill, the effect of
which, if passed, would be to legislate
the committee of the defense council
out of business by putting the MEM
bers in the same class with congress-
men and senators.
This is stupid. it is short-sighted.
it is nonsensical and foolish. II
means the return to the old slip-shod
days of unloading on the government
the days of rotten contracts in a
time of great national emergency"
Mr.. Rosenwald said if it had not
been for the council the government
would not have been able in this short
time to provide supplies for q, million
soldiers without the slightest suspic-
ion of graft
