READY TO ACT ON
ESPIONAGE BILL
Censorship Measure is
Greatly Modifed-No
Filibuster Expected
(Rv Associated Press.l


Washington, May 11.-Debate on the
administration espionage bill, whose
press censorship and embargo provi-
sions have been the object of bitter
attack for nearly ten days, reached a
point yesterday when leaders were
hopeful a vote can be taken upon
passage before tonight's adjournment.
Many speeches are yet to be made on
the censorship section, but the senate
bound itself to limit debate so that
no filibuster or dilatory tactics can de-
lay the final roll call.
Just before adjournment last night
Senators Cummins and Thomas sug-
gested an amendment to the censor
ship section greatly modifying the
original language and 1t was accepted
by Senator Overman, in charge of the
bill, who said it would go into The
measure today. It's adoption may end
the fight over this provision, although
efforts may be made to eliminate any
sort of censorship from the measure.
The amendment provides that in
time of war the president may
prescribe and promulgate rules and
regulations for the purpose of prevent
ing the disclosure to the public and
thereby to the enemy of information
with respect to the movement, num-
bers, description and disposition Of
any of the armed forces Of the United
States in naval or military operations
or with respect to any works intended
for the fortification and defense of any
place.
Willful violation Of the rules would
be punished with a five-year prison
term or So, 900 fine. A proviso removes
members of congress from operation
of the rules.
The original language Of the Sec
ton made 1t a crime to publish or
communicate information calculated
to be useful to the enemy. Much Of
the opposition to the section was based
on the generality of this language.
Amendments were adopted prohibiting
the opening of mail by any postal en-
ploye except in the dead letter Office
and declaring nonmailabIe any pub
lication containing matter advocating
or urging treason. insurrection or
forcible resistance of any law Of the
United States
