FOOD BILL WILL p. r.
DELAW THIS WEEK
Important Measure To Reach

Associated Press BY cabls)

WASHINGTON, August 8 49, The
Food Control Bill, one Of the most i'm
portant pieces of legislation considered
by congress during the session, is ex.
pected to become law this week.
According TO statements made by
leading senators yesterday, both houses
of congress are certain to agree to the
report Of the conference committee
which has had the bill under considera.
tion with n view to composing the diff.
ferences between the house and senate
over IL, and the measure will prob
ably 20 TO President Wilson for bia
signature on Friday.
The President Is expected to sign the
bill without delay.
The bill as IL will be presented TO the
President for signature is materially
different from the one originally intro.
duced, and In certain respects is far
from meeting with his approval. As
introduced in the house, it placed food
control virtually in the hands of one
man, who, IL was intended, should be
Herbert @. Hoover, recently at the head
OF the Belgian relief commission. The
bill passed the house in this form, but
when II reached the senate it was TO a
large extent rewritten. As finally
passed by the senate, the measure
placed food control in the United States
in the hands Of commission of three,
instead Of entrusting it to a single food
dictator.
President Wilson made strong efforts
to have this change eliminated, but
the senate was obdurate, and when the
bill went to conference, the house con.
ferees gave into those from the sen.
ate. The debate on the measure In
the senate was exceedingly acrimon.
