CHANGES MADE IN THE
 FOOD CONTROL BILL
Licensing of Manufacturing Plants
 and Storage Houses.

Washington, June 5.-Changes in the administration food control bill to extend the scope of provisions gov erning hcersing of manufa turing plants and distributing and storage houses probably will be made as a re- suit of a conference today between Herbert c. Hoover, Secretary Hous- ton, Chairman Lever, of the house az riculture committee, and Representa- = tive Anderson of Minnesota, another member of the committee. The bill will be reported to the house favor ably by the end of the week.
 Extension of the licensing feature to exporters is considered now, it is said, to give the government a firmcr control over food shipments to for eign countries. At present both the allies and neutrals are buying food in this country in unrestricted quan- titles. If the licensing stopped at grain and other food exchanges and boards of trade, the government, it is con- tended, would have no power to con trol foreign buying and could meet the situation only through operation of the export restriction bill now pend ing.

ESTIMATE FROM FIGURES AVAIL
 ABLE LAST NIGHT
WAS NO DISORDER
There Was But One Arrest, That of a Man in Hartford-An Enthusiastic Response Was Made by Aliens to Gall for Registration.

Hartford, Conn.,, June 5. = Unof- l ficial returns from 6S of the 168 cities and towns in the state received up to midnight give total of 125,949. indi- eating that the total number of men who registered yesterday under the se- lective dra@ law will greatly exceed the estimate of 155. 900 made by the state council of defense several days ago. Returns received at that hour, especially those from the cities. show ed clearly that the youth of the state had turned out in overwhelming num- bers to fulfill their duty to the nation. that the total registration will exceed 160, 900.
 Only One Arrest. The notable feature of the day was the absence throughout the state of any untoward incident, there being but one arrest-that of Louis Brodyat who was taken into custody in Hartford while displaying paper on which were remarks of an advisory nature against the draft. Registrations in ail sections of the state reported a general spirit of enthusiasm among be mistaken for mere willingness to comply with the law.

Dur ing the day the Capital City experience cd difficulty m obtaining sufficient cards, but this was overcome in the late afternoon when a new supply be- came available.
 Rush of Applicants.
 Tn the larger cities where districts are large and the voting places small, the rush ofapplicants during certain periods of the day practically over whelmed the registrars. This diff cultv was overcome in some instances by transferring registrars from dis tricts where the ru/i was not so great.
 An interesting feature was the en- thusiastic response with which aliens sought to be registered. Even those c1assed as enemy did not hold back registration officers reported. The re- turns from Kew Britain ernpta size this fact clearly. In the fifth wa I'd there for instance, tilickly settled by Polish peonle. the total number registered was 2.627 out of a total registration of r. 252 for the entire city.
