COMPLICATIONS ARISE
OVER NEWS CENSORSHIP
House and Senate Conferees Agree
on Clause Of Espionage Bill.
Doubt Of Adoption.

Efforts Of the administration to Sc
cure enactment by Congress of news
paper censorship legislation assumed
| new and. in the belief of some Off
Gals. a more complicated form yester-
day when Senate and House conferees
agreed on a new censorship section for
the espionage bill.
AS redrafted. the conferees' section
provides for prohibition by Congress OF
the willful publication of military in
formation useful to the enemy. with
authority for the President only to pre-
scribe what Information Of the specific
would be required to determine wheth-
er publications Of such information
were w1llful and whether the informa-
ton actually was Of benefit to the en-
envy.
The conferees regarded the substitute
as an extreme modification Of all pre-
vious censorship proposals, but some
senators and representatives refused to
dict with confidence whether it would
receive the approval of either Senate
or House.
Other Points Settled.
The conferees agreed yesterday on
several other disputed sections of the
espionage measure, including those
providing for export embargoes. extern
sion of the use of search warrants and
protection Of foreign commerce. Form
al agreement on the bill as a whole
probably will be reached tomorrow, and
come UP in the House before the end
of the week. It will not be taken up
by the Senate until the House has
acted.
The new clause providing against in
reference with foreign commerce
reads:
whoever, when the United States
is at war, shall w1llfully prevent. in
to prevent, interfere with or obstruct
the expectation to foreign countries
of articles from the United States by
injuring or destroying by fire or ex-
plosives. such articles or the places
where they may be while in such
foreign commerce, shall be fined not
more than $4,000. or imprisoned not
more than ten years, or both"
Authority for Search.
The principal change agreed upon in
extending authority to use search war
rants provides:
whoever, in aid of any foreign ma
ton, knowingly and willfully have pos
session or control over any property
or papers designed or intended for use,
or which is used as the means Of vio-
lating any penal statute or any of the
rights or obligations Of the United
States under any treaty or the law Of
nations shall be fined not more than
81, 900 or imprisoned not more than two
years, or both"
The former provision applied only to
war times and did not include penaliz-
ing control of property or documents
for improper use.
Export Embargo Clause.
The new export embargo clause pro-
vides principally that:
whenever during the present war
the President shall find that the public
safety shall SO require, and shall make
proclamation thereof, it shall be I'M
lawful to export from or ship from
or take out of the United States to
any country named In such proclama-
tinn any article or articles mentioned

zegovina to Austria. Let Serbia go to the
Adriatic. 1t is possible we may get a
corridor connecting Bulgaria with Hun
gary, but It is not a sine qua non.
'.As to the Dobrudja, the part OF which
we were robbed after the Balkan war has
nothing to do with Rumania. This part
we should want back. The other part,
to the mouth Of the Danube. although
historically Bulgarian, has been somewhat
Rumanzed through colonization. though
the greater part OF the population is Tar
tar. I don't know whether Bulgaria will
get this part, but we socialists will never
depart from our standpoint of conces-
sions and compromises, to let the war
last one day longer.
1--WE had rather compromise by secur-
ing rights for Bulgarians in the Ruma-
nian Dobrudja, such as we are asking
from Russia for the Bulgars in. Bessa-

"Our moral influence in Bulgaria Is very
great We have, however. no official
mission here. Neither outwardly nor in

Bulgarian government. nor do we want

the government on some points. but be-
lieve 1t will demand more than we in the

All the victims in this part of the

Of 200 yards.
One Of the most striking results was
the small property damage here com

that the bombs happened to drop where
large crowds Of shoppers, augmented
by people attracted to the potato sale,
were gathered.

The raiders spent less than three
