WAR MEASURESFACE
REVISION OR DEFEAT
Extension of Blanket Power"

DEFINE AUTHORITY
Senate Canvass Indicates Admin
istration Opponents Will Force
Compromise
Washington, April 5


The three most important Administra-
tion measures in Congress were con-
ffonted today by the prospect of radical
revision or defeat They we're:
First The overman bill granting
tho President sweeping powers to re-
organize the war government.
second. The bin ostensibly in
tended to arm the Department Of
Justice with stronger legal weapons
IN rounding up spies and disloyalists.
Third. The War Departments COM
Wandering bill granting the Govern
ment unprecedented authority In talk
Ing over private property.
The determination OF a large element
In Congress to call halt on the ex-
tension Of so-called blanket powers
TO the executive department forms the
foundation of the opposition. There is
no disposition to shut down on any
measures necessary to the conduct of
tho war. This was evidenced by the
Senate's action in passing the $4,000
100000 bond and certificate bill in forty
minutes But the feeling has gained
headway that Congress, to retain it's
legislative prerogatives, must specify
- Hiih oAOp blNltb Nllt tNtNhAANN
department. carte blanche authority.
Canvass of the Senate indicated to-
day that the Administration forces would
be forced to accept broad compromise
on the Overman bill or risk defeat. Op-
position Senators claimed to have sutli-
cient votes to carry an amendment
either specifically exempting certain
governmental departments from the op-
GRAFTON of the Overman bill or definitely
stating those TO which IT shall apply.
The opposition is pounding the fact
that the bill, in its present form, will
give the President au ,hority. II he sees
NJ, to abolish the Interstate Commerce
Commission. Senator Overman, in
charge Of the measure, declares the
President has no such plan IN mind,
but the opposition takes the view tha,
Congress- should not grant him suCn
power under any circumstances.
Although anxious to facilitate the
rounding up of spies and copperheads,
opposition Senators today were firm IN
their determination either TO recommit
the new spy bill for redrafting or dcfea,
1t altogether They declared that it
goes far beyond the necessities of the
situation and would strike a death blow
at the freedom of press and speech dur
ing the war. Senator Johnson, Of Cali
AOlnlds iNduillk NllI hElll against AIlt
bill, declared it would forbid man to
even think in criticism of the Adminis-
tration.

to which IL was referred. Members
declared today It exceeds the bounds
OF reason. The measure would in effect
give the President absolute authority TO
requisition any real or personal prop
erty in the United States.

who, if you say to them,
"Guide me to a blue
