 Food Bill to Be Revamped.
 Plans for speeding up final action on food control legislation in the sen- ate, in accordance with the suggestion of President Wilson conveyed in g. communication to Senator Martin, were being mapped out today by ad- ministration leaders.
 One of the first moves to that end was to arrange for meeting early in the coming week or the senate demo cratic steering committee, when efforts will be made to change the original house bill along the lines pro- posed by the president to provide for government control of foodstuffs, foods and fuels only.
 Prospects seemed bright today that senate leaders would be able to so change the pending bill as to make certain it's passage.
 Debate on the food bill continued in the senate today.
 Cabinet members are leading the campaign in their departm ents to ob- tain signatures to the food admins tration pledge cards. Secretary Baker signed the first blank in his depart ment and Secretary McAdoo is mak- ing a personal canvas of the treasury.
