FOOD CONTROL MEASURE GETS
PROMISE OF VOTE ON JULY d

Washington. July lO.--A senate
agreement to vote on President VIII
sons food control bill on July u, five
weeks after its submission to congress
as an urgent war measure, was fol-
lowed today by issuance from the
White House of a detailed report by
Herbert G. Hoover, declaring that both
the farmers and the public are threat
ened with serious losses unless food
control authority is given quickly to
the federal government.
Democratic senators secured the
agreement for vote only after the,
had consented to strip the bill of som.
OF its more drastic features, including
the stringent prohibition provisions.
SO sfar-reaching was the revision de
manded. In fact. that all day confer
ences OF the Democratic steering com
mittec and the agriculture committee
resulted in the resentation of a sub
stitute for the entire measure.
There was no expression of opinion
from the White House rega riding the
provisions OF the substitute bill. but il

point where II cannot meet defeat. The

Mercantile company. in addition to its
munificent gift when the call for sub
scriptions was first issued. and the
amount of cash and pledges now on
hand insure the building of pool.
Real Pool, or Mateshift?
Now comes the question. Are you in
favor OF building a pool which will be
classed as municipal achievement
and which will make every visitor to
the city realize that 'here is a city
which really does things" or are you
willing to see just a swimming pool .
One that Is good enough to swim in,
but one which lacks some of the i'm
prOvements which would make it so
much better and which can be added
so much more easily while the pool is
under construction.
Covered Pool Needed.
Architect Ole Bake says that Mis-
soula needs a covered pool which can
be used winter and summer. The de-
cision rests with You. Mr.. Citizen.
Are you of the opinion that a covered
pool for use during the entire year is
preferable? If that is your opinion it
should be backed by the rustic of
banknOtes.

at once. AS soon as the architects

lieve suitable and which the finance

Architects Volunteer.
Another boost in the right direction
came yesterday when Architects Bake
and Forbis volunteered to donate their
services in drawing the plans for the
pool. County Surveyor Stoddard has
promised that all engineering work
on the plant shall be done free of
charge and will cooperate with the
architects and general committee in
seeing that Missoula's swimming pool
is built right. The architects, engi-
neer and finance committee will meet
Friday evening at s o'clock for the
purpose Of discussing the plans and
the amount of money necessary to
give the city the kind of a pool it
should have.
