Washington. ID. c., Dec. 21.-A per-

was that Herbert Hoover had urged
the president to lift the ban denying
grain to breweries. There was no con-

frankly told the president necessity for

While Hoover still insists that food
economy must be practiced for d long
time to come, it is understood that he
believes and has told the president
that the emergency war order regard
ing grain for the brewers may now
safely be repealed.
Some dry senator's said they believed
the order is as necessary now as when
it was issued.
They point out that the actual ces-
sation of hostilities has caused little
change in. the situation. SO far as food
needs are concerned. and that there is
still q vast army, both here and abroad.
