ence report on the food control bill

more of Texas voted present"
The house also adopted almost
unanimously the conference report on
the hill creating food survey.

that the food control bin provided 81
wheat, eliminated the committee on
war expenditures and confined the
control TO one man. Republicans spoke
against these features. But in the end
the Republicans joined In the aye
vote.
The vote on acceptance Of the re-
port was 357 TO o. The objection of

FOOD BILL VOTE NEAR
SENATE AGREES TO ACT ON CON-
TRoL MEASURE TODAY.
Indiana Senator Declares Public
Doesn't Understand Proposed Leg
isIation, But Wants 1t Anyway.

Washington, Aug. S.-By unanimous
consent agreement reached the senate
will vote on the conference report on
the food bill at four o'clock this after
noon.
The conference report on the bill
again was the subject of debate in the
senate today. Most Republicans were
said to favor immediate adoption of
the report, and the principal opposition
came from Democratic members, not
ably Senators Reed, Hollis and Gore.
Senator New of Indiana, Republican,
declared the public does not under
stand the bill and expects the impossi-
bic from IL.
NEARLY every senator has doubts as
TO its results" he said. Not ten men,
bers actually believe in it. But it is
apparent that the senate is going to
give this bill TO the administration and
the public because they want it. The
public has been led to believe that it
will reduce the cost Of living and IL
would be impolite to defeat it,"
senator sherman OF Illinois, ltepuO-
lican, declared that the public knows
no more of the measures scope than
"a Moslem does of the Lords prayer"
Speaking in opposition to the adop-
tlon of the conference report, Senator
Gronna pronounced it IA victory for
the Standard Oil company and the
grain exchanges of the country de-
claring there was nothing in it to CON
troll prices of the oils the farmer needs.
Control over fuel oil, he admitted, was
inserted in the bill, but said this was
only the product of petroleum after
gasoline had been extracted.
you can't fool the American farm
or into believing that kerosene and
gasoline have been placed under con
troll price" said he.
