Washington, Feb. 2S Opposition in congress to granting President Will son authority to protect American rights and life on the sea began melt ing today and administration leaders confidently predicted action within another 24 hours.
 There were indications that many of the senate republicans who though fayoring tha steps proposed. insist that congress should he called in ex- tra session would vote for the meas ure requested by the president when the roll was called. The chief If no. the only reason for uncertainty was found in the attitude of Senator La Toilette, who has given indications of preparing for a single handed fill buster during the closing hours of the session
 Details of the destruction of the Cunard liner Laconia published in the morning papers and telling of the death of an American mother and daughter among the passengers had its effect during the day.

TELLS OBJECTS OF NEW
FOOD ADMINISTRATION
Sterilization of Conditions and Pre-.
vention Of Exploitation Are
Chief Purposes.

The purpose Of the national food
administration law is ito stabilize
and not to disturb conditions, to de-
fend honest enterprise against illegit.
innate competition. to correct the alb.
normalitfes and abuses that have
crept into trade by reason of the
world disturbance, and to restore
business. as far as may be, to a rea-
sQnable basis" the federal food ad.
illustrators Of IL states were told at
a recent conference at Washington
D. c.. the Off1cial Bulletin reports.
They were instructed" the Bull
letin continues, that the food admin
istration feels justified by its expe-
rience so far in counting on the pa
triotic cooperation of the great bulk
OF business men. but they were told
that If any persons try to exploit the
country In this time of war, they
should not hesitate to take steps to
see that the drastic powers congress
has conferred on the food admins
tration for such cases are employed"
Such administrators have been an
pointed for 10 states and will be
named for the others as soon as DOS
sible. They are agents in their states
of the national food administration
and are clothed with considerable
power to carry out the provisions of
the food administration law.
