Washington, Jan, 3-Food Admin
+strator Hoover and Senator Reed had
their long expected clash In public to-
day at the hearing before the senate
committee investigating the sugar and
coal shortages.
Reed, one Of Hooyers critics, ques-
toned the food administrator sharply,
and Hoover replied with equal spirit.
The verbal duel ranged from sugar to
wheat.
Reed charged Hoover with "usurpa-
ton OF authority" In handling the
wheat situation that would be q
crime in normal times" Hoover warm
ly denied 1t and said the situation had
been handled with the approval Of
President Wilson.
Yes, Of course" retorted Reed, "the
presidents coat-tails are long, his
shoulders broad and his position un-
questioned, but I'm questioning you on
the authority you employed to fix the
wheat prices"
Reed began questioning on wheat. he
said. to bring out point affecting
sugar.
Hoover said the food administration
had asked grain dealers not to pay
more for wheat than the price fixed by
congress. Reed tried to bring out that
the price question was. so put to deal
ers as to really make the transaction
price fixing, but Hoover maintained he
only attempted to stabilize prices and
denied, that the food administration
had done anything not authorized in
the food law.
II take It that with the country at
war the people wanted results" said
Hoover. ut is not fair to go into wheat
conditions unless all phases are dis
cussed and that would take a week
One thing is certain, the farmers now
are getting more for their wheat ana

Hoover would not acquiesce In Reeds
statement. that some force was neces-
sary to get and maintain so-called
voluntary agreements on sugar prices:
He said the feed administration administration Ge-
pended largely ON the patriotism OF re-
,lners but that some authority was
needed" 8s5.55. TT
3 After Hoover had been questioned
minutely On details Of sugar selling,
Hoover remarked:
"I don't think you comprehend the
whole situation, senator"

PRO AND CON PLEA
FOR SUFFRAGE
Women Argue Question Before House
Committee, Anti -Suffrasists charg.
ing That Movement is SoeiaIistic
and Pro- German.

Washington, Jan. 3.-The first Of a
series of hearings on the woman's suf-
frage constitutional amendment to be
conducted by the house suffrage COM
mittee began today with the session
given over to presentation Of the suf-
frage cause by women representing the
national association.
Mrs. iMaude Wood Park, congression-
al chairman, Is in charge Of the hear
ing for the suffragists, and DR.. Annie
Howard Shaw, Mrs. Carrie Chapman
Gait and others are scheduled to speak
for the amendment.
DR.. Shaw denied the charge that the
suffrage movement is "pro-German,
sociaEstic and pacifst.' She declared
the fight had simmered down to the
extent where the question OF whether
Ithe extension Of sge to a large
number of, ,inexIlerisnesd women vot-
ers, naturally sympathetic with human
suffering. would tend to weaken per-
petuation of the war. She contended
most emphatically it would not and
said women were opposed to an Ill
advised peace.
THE charge that the majority ct
women are pacifists in the sense in
which that word Is used at the pres
ent time Is absolutely disproved, not
alone, In the countries Of our allies but
in our own country by the zeal with
which women have thrown themselves
into war service" said DR.. Shaw.
ut is no overt statement to say that
where one man offered voluntarily to
enlist. ten women have offered for
active war work, and that several mill
lion women are today serving their
country with just as much zeal in
work as greatly needed as that in the
camps or trenches. II we need more
definite statement Of this point we need
only to turn to the last election In
Canada, where conscription was carried
by the votes. of the Canadian women.
When we find services Of women recog-
nized by the governments Of Great
Britain, France and Canada 1t Is a
clear indication that the loyalty of
American women measured by every
emergency in our country's history de-
mands that at this time governments
shalL recognize the services Of their
women
Mrs. Travis Whitney, Of Brooklyn,
analyzed the New York election in an
swer to the contention that suffrage
was won in New York by the pacifists
and socialists.
Seven hundred thousand men in
New York state voted for woman suf-
trage,"I she said.
The suffragists set forth their
argument in a prepared statement by
Mrs. James w. Wadsworth, Jr.
The argument for the antis declared
that the suffraglsts and socialists,
seeking to destroy the right Of each
state to settle the question by popu-
lar vote, had resorted to "the lowest
politi1,l methods" 1t charged them
with circulating canard that Presl-
dent WM.c, had promised Alice Pa.ll,
leader Of the White House pickets,
that he would secretly aid the amend
ment. Such statement. the argument
declared was an Insult to the presi-
dents character" and added that the
president had been the foremost friend
of woman,s suffrage because Of his
well-known preference to let the states
settle the questions for themselves.
