CENSORSHIP
 FIGHT OVER

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 31.- A deadlock is now on between the house and the senate over the pro vision for newspaper ena5rohip ln the espionage bill. The deadlock came when the house rejected the conference modified censorship pro vision, giving the President the pow CT to censor news dispatches only when they related to military moves which might prove to be of value to the enemy.
 As consequence the fight ot the administration l0r newspaper censorship is over for the present. l. is probable, however, that the matter will be brought up again after the food bills of the admins tration which are now before both houses are completely disposed of.
 The provision for newspaper cen sorship was originally passed by the house, but not by the senate, In conference committee a modified censorship provision was greed to by the senate confeIees. This is the provision which has just been rejected by the house.
