SUGAR BOARD SEEKS
TO DELAY CONTROL ACT

Washington, Dec. 26.-The sugar
equalization board has requested
President Wilson to withhold his sig
nature from the so-called McNary bill
until a paper explaining some fea-
lures of it is filed with him, it was
said today at the White House.
The measure, was received by Mr..
Wilson Christmas eve and he is
studying it. The nature of the boards
recommendation is not indicated
though the bill has the members ap-
proval, it was said.
The McNary bill as finally passed
continues the equalization board for
one year but continues the licensing
power of the board for six months.
