CONGRESS OPPOSES
Committee ON WAR
Expect Favorable Report Although
Presidents Wish Is Knocked Out.

II the provision authorizing a COM
n1ittee on war expenditures is to re-
main in the food control bill. Congress
must insist upon it again. This was
freely predicted yesterday when the
House. by a vote of 169 to 101, sent
the bill to conferences.
It was practically agreed that the
committee will sympathize with Pres
ident Wilson's view that a war COM
unittee would embarrass the adminis-
tration, and will cast the scheme out
OF the bill.
The conferees number four Demo-
Gratis and three Republicans from
each House-fourteen in all. The SEN
ate conferees voted last Saturday on
the plan for the committee, Republi-
cans voting for II. and Democrats
against II. with the exception of
Gore. OF Oklahoma. who favored the
plan. As the House members ordi-
narily vote along party lines It is ex-
pected the House conferees would
split in this same fashion.
This would throw the conference
committee into:
For the war committee-Three SEN
ate Republicans, three House Repub-
icans. one Senate Democrat CGore)-
total. seven.
Against the war committee-Three
Senate Democrats, four House DEM
ocrats-total, seven.
Nevertheless, the committee Is ex-
pected to vote against the war organ
ization. Mclaughlin, Of Michigan,
one Of the House conferees, yesterday
voted to send the bill to conference,
and this indicates that he is against
the formation of the war committee.
The conference committee will hold
q meeting today. When the bill Is
returned to the House. it is said that
Mann will lead an attack IL the war
committee provision is stricken out.

Once more Senator Sheppard. Of

terday to have the Senate agree 10
vote July 81 on his constitutional
amendment for national prohibition
Senator Penross objected, saying GER
tain interested Senators were not pres
ent.
II Is said that the "wets" have
agreed informally to allow the shep-
pard amendment to come to a vote, n
they can be assured that 1T will not
be kept pending in the States longer
than six years. They are said TO feel
confident that the "drys" will not be
able to force three-quarters Of the
States to vote prohibition. within this
period
By the expiration of the six years,
the war will probably be over, say the
VETS" and prohibition can no longer
be considered an emergency measure.
In addition, II by that time a majority
OF the States have not voted dry"
then the VETS can advance to Con-
sress' the idea that the country does
