Attorney General Palmer Against
 Amendments to Food Control Act
TO FIGHT H. (. OF L.
Such Executive Power Would Be Too Drastic and Would Provoke Debate dn Congress, He Says-Wants Anti PrOfitCcring Law.

Washington, Aug. 20.-Proposcd amendments to the food control act which would authorize the president to fix wholesale and retail prices of certain commodities, were strongly opposed today by Attorney General Palmer.
 Appearing before the house agri- culture committee to urge speedy enactment of additional laws to help reduce the cost of living, the attorney general declared such executive power would be too drastic and would pro yoke so much debate in congress as to delay passage of other amend ments suggested by the depart ment of justice.
 The departmont has recommended that provisions of the food control act be made applicable to wearing ap- parel, fuel and fertilizer with heavy penalties for profiteering.
 'An anti profitecring law, imposing a fine of S5,000 and two years impriS- onment for violations, is the best method of combating high living costs" he said.
