WASHINGTON. June "a
Only "dry" fight will prevent
passage late today OF the ad-
ninistratlon food control bill
In the house.
Administrator leaders, how.
ever. were confident the entire
liquor element would not inject
its strength sufficiently long to
hold up the measure. Al the
same time new line OF
cleavage developed In the
senate.
Just at time when II appeared
that plans for compromises on dis.
puted points in the upper branch
Promised TO bring action on the bill
late next week. a very small clique.
headed by Senator HardWick.
Georgia. has announced II will in
sist that no food control measure
rass and that no such department
should be created for Herbert
Hoover and that nothing but anti.
speculation legislation should 60
thru
This element declares Il Is an
cut and out fight and the speakers
on that particular side won't begin
until next week-probably late
thus endaneering the prospects OF
the measure going TO conference by
July /. The split between brewers
and distillers is too wide. II is be.
lieved. to permit solid opposition
from the wet" element.
ilardwlcll does not think that any
compromise Is satisfactory unless il
eliminates the whole bill with the
exception OF the peculation section
and does not think that favorable
compromise can be reached when
the house bill, IL passed today. is
taken up for amendment by the
senate agricultural committee Mon.
