 Abandoned.

Washington, July s7-Werk on the food control bill was continued today by the conference committee while both Senate and House were in recess awaiting the conferees' report. An agreement may be reached by to- night, according to some of the con- ferees.
 An overnight development which gave hope of having the bill per fected and in President Wilson's hands next week was the action of House Republicans, meeting informal ly. in agreeing to abandon the pro- posed hght, led by Minority Leader Mann, for. the creation of a joint con- gressional commdttee on war .expendi- lures. which is opposed by the Presi- dent. The Senate, however. may yet fight for its proposal.
