Backers of Food Control
Bill Draw Up New
Line For Hard Battle
By .Atsociated Press

Washington, June 22.-Adminis-
tration supporters of the food bills
rearranged their battle lines to-day
to make sure that the Senate does
not kill the second bill on the
ground that the first bill is enough.
Fearing that should the first, or
production bill, with it's clause
against food boarding. be finally en-
acted while the Senate debates the
second, or control bill. 1t might be
contended that the provisions of the
first bill are sufficient, the House
leaders to-day decided to let the first
bill lremain inits present stage, and
thus force the Senate to enact all the
program before any of it gets to the
critical stage of conference between
the two houses.

JUNEAU Saturday. April 21.-Senator Roman to- day opposed appropriatng $6O,OOO for an agricultural college at Fairbanks He said that if the money were spent in building roads in the Matanuska valley would do more good for the farmers of Alaska, than an agru tural college in Fairbanks or anywhere else.

 The Public Safety and Defense com mittee is in receipt of cablegram from Governor Strong, which shows his great interest in territorial mili- tary organizations. He expects to receive definite instructions from Washington within ten days, as the army bill is now pending in congress and the plans of the general staff will be formulated according to that bill.
 The local military body will meet for the purpose of organizing tomor- row afternoon at 2:30 o'clock in A. B. hall. There are AS who have express ed their willingness to attend by sign ing the roll. At noon today the fol- lowing had so far volunteered:

J. 6. LUTTRELL
 INSTRUCTOR FOR
 LOCAL CONTAIN

The regular semi-monthly meeting of the local camp of Spanish-Amcri can war veterans was held last nighs and business connected with the as sisting of the Public Safety and De- fense committee was considered.
 Adjutant J. c. Luttrell was elected by the camp as instructor for the local military unit.
 An application for membership was received, and the work accomplished by the citizens committee was un- oualifiedly endorsed by the entire camp.
 The veterans are going to lend every effort to make the work of the committee success, and as a first step all who had not signed the roll for local service did so immediately after the meeting. The veterans re- quest the people of Seward to give the Public Safety and Defense committee united support.
 It has been noticed by the local camp that young men between the ages of 20 and 25 are conspicuous by their absence from the volunteer en- rollment list, and they agreed that the reason for this is that it is erroneous ly supposed that to sign the roll means enlistment in the army service with the probability of being sent to the front. Another reason advanced is that young men who have grown to manhood in Alaska do not fully real ize their duty and obligations to the United States. Nor do they fully ap- preciate the value of the protection which the flag affords the residents of this territory. It is hoped that in creased interest will be taken in the local military unit, and expressed 1T the numbers reporting for drill and instructions.
