trol bill submitted to the House
Agricultural Committee late yester-
day by Chairman Haugen.
The proposed amendments draft
edl by Representative Haugen after

states Attorney General Ames, go
farther than proposed by the Presi-
cent in his message to Congress.
All necessaries of life are brought

control act, whereas the President
merely suggested wearing apparel

BY the terms of the tentative
amendments the President would

to re-establish the licensing system
and because the price-f1Xing scheme

some licensing system used during
the war.
The amendments prepared by
Chairman Haugen, while giving
