 While the only disputes to be set- tied in-conference are the continuance of the Wartime powers permitting li- censing control of the sugar business, and the requisitioning of stocks of re- fineries, leaders in Congress were doubtful whether an agreement could be reached before the holiday recess As passed by the Senate, the bill re- peaied the license control. and con- tained no reference to the requisitioning power.
 Opposition of the bills supporters to the repeal of these powers. and the unanimous criticism of the sugar equalization board that the Senate bill would serve no useful purpose, were placed before the House committee be- fore it decided earlier in the day to recommend continuance of the powers. z The board declared it should be vest ed with these powers as we'll as the power to place an embargo on exports.
