Washington, July 16.--A wranglc over President Wilson's appointment of Herbert c. Hoover as food admin istrator occupied virtually all of to- control bill. but meantime consider- able progress on compromise amend ments was made by the leaders in bi- partisan conferences.
 For more than two hours Senator Reed criticized Mir. Hoover. declaring his res idence abroad had kept him out of touch with American ideals. Senator Phelan replied, defending the food administra- tor. The democratic and republican leaders agreed in their conferences upon changes in the bill expected to com mand general support, including an amendment creating board of food ad- minstration in lieu of one-man control provided in the House measure. Most of the leaders also agreed upon limiting the control legislation to foods, feed and fuels; the latter to include gasoline and kerosene, but considerable Senate fol- lowing plans to insist upon retention of government control over steel and iron and their products

 President Wilson cabled:
 "On this anniversary of the birth, of democracy in France, offer on behalf of my countrymen and on my own behalf fraternal greeting as be- fits the strong ties that unite our peoples, who today stand shoulder to shoulder in defense of liberty in tes- timony of the steadfast purpose of
 our two countries to achieve vic- tory for the sumbliine cause of the rigEts of the people against oppres- sion. The lesson of the bastile is not lost to the world of free peoples. May the day be near when on the ruins of the dark stronghold of unbridled power and constituencies autocracy a nobler structure, upbuilt like your great republic on the eternal founda- tions of peace and right, shall arise to gladden. an enfranchised world
 President Poincare replied:
 ''The French people who for three years have made so many heroic sac rifices in the defense of right and liberty will receive in grateful emo tion the brotherly message wEich you, Mr. President, were plea sed to send to mef or them. We shall be proud to carry on to victory, elbow to elbow, with the great and generous Ameri- can nation the war which was let loose on the world by the imperialism of our foes in spite of the strenuous efforts whick. the French republic all ways exerted to avert so awful a cataclysm. I. like you, have no doubt that the defeat of autocracy and Ger man militarism will at last open a fu- ture of industrious peace and pros- perity to liberate mankind"
 Minister Sharpe reported that the ma tional airs of France and the United States were played in connection witt the celebration of the French holiday and that every reference to the United States in song or moving pictures wa. enthusiastically applauded. The picture! scenes of the reception of thu French commission in the United State! and of the arrival of the American forces In France.
