WASHINGTON, June 25.-The fate
of prohibition as a wartime measure
rests with the senate where accep-
tance of the food control bill in the
form in which it passed the house
with its drastic prohibition amend
ments added, as substitute for the
bill drafted by Senator Chamberlain,
is assured.
Senate leaders today arranged to
expedite the food control bill passed
by the house.
The bill was referred by the SEN
ate without discussion to the agri-
culture committee. Senator Reed, of
Missouri, today continued his attack
upon it.
No additional committee hearings
are proposed.
A vigorous fight is promised over
the prohibition proposals, particularly

Senate Expected to Pass Bill
Prohibiting Making Of Liquor

that permitting manufacture of malt
liquors and wine. Many dry" SEN
ators strongly oppose extending the
prohibition to beer and wines, al
though there is a strong sentiment
in the senate against further manufac-
ture of whiskey, brandy and other dis
titled spirits.
Prospects are. however, that the
senate will in the end vote to retain
the prohibition proposals or at least
the provision prohibiting use of food
stuffs in manufacturing distilled
spirits. 1t is expected also that the
senate will add compromise amend
ments resulting from conference be-
tween senators.
The substitute bill will be made the
unfinished business and final vote
within a week or ten days seems
probable.

Madame Petrova, Bonita Today.
The versatility Of Nine. Petrova

This colorful story of Corsica by the

Nine Petrova is well-known as a
singer and dancer, but that she al

that she was guilty Of having dab
