Charles Henry Butler Is to head
the community executive commit

TAKES AUSTRIA
into PEACE BILL
Senate Committee Plans to
Extend Scope Of House
Measure.
MAY AGREE THIS WEEK
Will Provide for Repeal of
War Powers Conferred
On Executive.
MAY AGREE THIS WEEK

Peace with Austria as well as Ger
many will be declared In the resolu-
tion which the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee will report TO the
Senate. The resolution will be a
substitute for the Porter resolution
passed by the House, which de-
clared peace with Germany only.
The Senate resolution also will
provide for the repeal of all war
legislation, including the espionage
act, the Overman act and others
which conferred extraordinary
powers on the executive depart
ments of the government.
The form of the resolution was
discussed at an executive session
of the committee yesterday morn
ing. The Republican members Of the
committee are a unit in favoring a
new resolution instead Of the Porter
resolution. and of including both
Austria and Germany in the declara-
tory measure. 1t is believed the
resolution will be agreed upon IN
the committee before the end of this
week. Action in the Senate early
next week is looked for
The objections raised by RepubIi-
can Senators to the Porter resolu-
tion are that il contains too many
matters. and that the vote by which
ii was passed in the House demon
sttates nonclusively that it could not
be passed over a veto IL the Presi-
dent should reject it. For these rea-
sons the Senators favor a re-draft
of the Knox resolution. which will
be simpler in form and yet express
all the things that need 20 be said
in a resolution declaring peace to
exist
