Postmaster-general Burleson was
attacked yesterday in the Senate as
the probable censor OF newspaper
dispatches IN case the government
should take over the telegraphs and
telephones ,as the bill now pending
provides.
Senator Lewis, of Illinois, saw Mr..
Burleson during the day, and the
Postmaster-general denied that he
had any .antagonism toward the
newspapers. and instead, would CO.
operate with them.
Senator Watson. OF Indiana, in
troduced an amendment exempting
press wires and also telephones
from the bill, thus restricting 1t to
commercial telegraph, wires.
All day, the wire control" bill
was debated. Prohibition was tenn
porarily side-tracked to let the ad-
ministration measure have right-of-
way. Political moves behind the
scenes are being directed against
both the wire" bill land prohibition.
There were even rumors yesterday
that an effort for a recess would
be made Saturday night. But this
was not taken very seriously.
Early in the Senate yesterday,
Senator Kellogg tried to have in
serted in the record kilograms pro-
testing against government ccntrol,
and also that no hearing had been
held upon the bill. A fight against
reading the kilograms ensued. and
1t was necessary to call the roll.
By a vote OF Al to ~, the Senate
sided with Kellogg. who said that
Mr.. Burleson's desire to control
the wires was inspired by the POST
master-generars personal opinion
that government control was the
proper solution.

SUGAR BOARD WILL
EQUALIZE PRICES
Fiye-Million-Dollar Corporation to
Be Created.

BY authorization of President
Wilson. the Food Administration has
organized the Sugar Equalization
Board to adjust market prices of
sugar. The board will be incor-
porated with a capital of S5,0OO,-
900 to be supplied from the special
FUNDS of the President. 1t is be-
lieved that in order to obtain a
maximum production of sugar in
this country the board will take
over and operate a number Of the
best sugar factories.
No secret is made of the fact that
sugar will be far from plentiful
IN TINS country during the latter
months OF this year, the eve of
shipments OF the new Cuban crop.
~ Is hoped by Food Administrator
hoover, that IL the public will re-
strict itself to three pounds Of sugar
a month, the supply will be sum
cient to meet the nations needs.
However, it is recognized that the
margin will be slight. and 1t has been
urged that every effort should be
made to encourage every factor to
tne production of sugar. It has been
found that small factories are ham.
pered in attempting a large produc-
tion through the scale of prices set
oy the Food Administration. II these
prices are raised, however. the larger
refineries win make huge profits.
