CONFEREES FOR
HOOVER ALONE
Reach Agreement for One
Man Control of Food
Administration.

One-man control for the Food Ad-
ministration was agreed upon yester-
day by the conferees upon the food
control bill One-man control means
Herbert C. Hoover.
1t was President Wilson who forced
the agreement. By insisting upon a
food dictator, he bent the will of the
Senate conferees. Twice their body
had voted for a board of three.
But yesterday Senator Chamberlain
and Representative Lever went to the
White House for a conference with
the President.
Mr. Wilson said he would not hear
OF a board of three men to control
food.
He also said he was unalterably op-
posed to any committee on war ex-
penditures, such as the Senate has
voted into the food bill. 1t was said
last night that this provision would be
eliminated today.
Vote Four to Three.
The Senatorial conferees split on
the question of One-man control, but
the majority ruled. The vote was:
For one-man control-Chamberlain
Smith, OF South Carolina Demo
crats): Warren, Kenyon (Republi-
cans)-.
For board Of three-Gore, Smith. of
Georgia Democrats; Page (Repub-
lican)-3.
The House conferees were unani-
mously for one-man administration.
When the conferees make their re-
port, the Senate must either accept
or reject it. There is bound to be a
fight.
And 1t is argued that this may
jeopardize the entire bill. Senators
who are opposed to a dictatorship"
said last night that the President
seemed willing to put the entire food
bill in peril in order to carry out
his wishes. Others were convinced
that the Senate must reverse itself
and vote now against board of
three. or else shoulder the RESPONSE
bility of stopping the bill.
Strong Senate Opposition.
Tremendous opposition is expected
because, under the bill, the President
is allowed to appoint the food con-
troller without confirmation from the
Senate.
One interesting change practically
accepted by the conferees yesterday
provides for a board Of three men to
FIX wheat prices. The minimum price
OF y as a guarantee for No. l North
ern, or its equivalent. remains in the
bill. But while this remains as a
minimum. the wheat board would fix
any higher prices.
The opposition to the committee on
war expenditures will prevail, it was
forecast. The President said again
yesterday to Mr.. Lever and Mr..
Chamberlain that such a body would
not only hamper the administration,
but would indicate a lack of conf
dence. The House is against the COM
mittee.
