Much of Pending War Legis-
latiOn Will Be Put on
Statute Books.
WAR TAX BILL WILL
REACH SENATE FLOOR
Will Dispose Of Espionage,
Censorship, Food Con-
troll, Prohibition.

Washington, May 13.--Congress be-
gins the sixth week of war tomorrow
with the calendars of both houses still
filled with legislation which the ad-
ministration feels is essential 40 the
Germany. The senate. after two
weeks debate on the espionage bill
drawn by the department of justice. is
expected to pass that measure tomor-
row.
The house probably will conclude
discussion of the s1.S00.000.000 war
revenue bill early in the week and
send it to the senate, where two days
of committee hearings have indicated
that many changes are to be made in
its structure before it goes to the
White House for tho presidents sig
nature.
The espionage bill has been stripped
OF the press censorship section which
caused much of the opposition to its
passage. The injection of an amend
ment last night prohibiting use of
cereals or grains in the manufacture
of intoxicants during the war; al
though a bitter pill to the foes of pro-
hibition. probably will not greatly de-
lay ultimate passage of the entire
measure.
War Army Measure.
Conferees on the war army bill
called to meet again tomorrow because
the house after once rejecting the So
called Roosevelt amendment now
wants to put it in, are not expected tC
take long at their task and tomorrow
the bill may reach the senate floor
Since the Roosevelt amendment orig.
mated in that body, it is possible thai
the army measure can be disposed O
without much debate and early in thu
week sent to the president
In the house an effort may be made
to put food control legislation through
after the war revenue bill. The de
partment of agriculture has sent dat;
on the subject to the house commit
tee. The measures received the com
mittee's approval and are virtual!
ready for the floor.
In both houses the food Legislation
is expected to cause much debate an'
arouse some decided opposition, al
though it probably will have the fore
of the administration behind it.
1t is almost certain that a measur
| will be passed giving the departmen
| of agriculture money and authority t
make a food survey of the country an,
to curb speculation in food products.
