FOOD CONTROL BILL
 REPORTED TO SENATE Committee Makes No Rec olnmendati0n As Presi- {
 dent Wants Action.

! Washington. June 16.-Following President Wilson's request for im- mediate action on the food control bill tho measure was today reported to tho Senate without committee recom- mendation and may be reached Mon. day.
 The Senate finance committee revis- ing the war tax bill may reconsider its action. 1t was said today. to im- pose levy of per cent on net profits of newspapers and magazines. A mo- ton to reconsider offered by Senator Penrose Is pending, but cannot be taken up before Monday as the com- mittee has adjourned until then. E. The new tax was adopted late yes- terday after a vigorous fight led by Chairman Simmons. The proposal would have been defeated on a tie vote had not an absentee arrived in time to cast his dissenting vote.
 The proposed tax designed to raise $15.000, ,O00 Is a substitute for the two per cent advertising tax previously proposed and the second-clAss mail rate increase proposed in the House bill. Under the spur of Speaker sClarlk's injunction to speed up action, the house today again debated the $29,0O0.000 rivers and harbors bill with the leaders determined to press for . final vote by tonight If possible. Discussion in the House on the va terways ball was limited to fve min- ute speeches.
 A final vote on the governments priority shipment bill under debate in the Senate may be re44hod by night Unless the bill goes through the Sem ate by night, 1t will be displaced Mon- day by the food control bill. Oppo- nents of the bill are objecting chiefly on the ground that the measure con- fers too much authority on the presi- dent.
