Senate Adopts House Resolu.
ton and Sends Proposal
to Conference.
SEVERAL LAWS EXEMPT
Liberty Bond Act and Trad.
ing With the Enemy Not
Included in Bill.
By Associated Press /:

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S. - The
house resolution providing for gen
eral repeal Of wartime laws was
adopted Monday night by the senate
ana sent to conference.
Virtually all laws passed during
the war would be repealed by the
resolution except a few given spe-
ciai exemption, including the trade
with the enemy act, the Liberty bond
act, and the act creating the war
finance corporation.
Among the laws which the legis-
lation would repeal are the Leyer
food and fuel acts, part Of which
were declared unconstitutional Mon
day by the supreme court. The SEN
ate judiciary committee had recon-
mended that the Lever law stand
but the senate Monday night adopted
an amendment by Sen. Reed, demo-
crat, Missouri. including the food
and fuel law among those to be re-
pealed.
Prosecutions Stand.
The senate also adopted a resolu-
ton by Sen. Walsh democrat, Mon
tana, providing that prosecutions
brought under laws which the res
olution would repeal should not be
affected by the repeal
In addition 20 the trading with the
enemy, Liberty bond and other laws
which are exempted from repeal
the resolution would restore the
original espionage act of 1917, re-
pealing the amendatory statute OF
1915. The latter was regarded as
much more stringent than the origi-
nal act.
Another provision Of the resolu-
tion declares that it shall not oper-
ate to prevent prosecution of army
and navy deserters or persons charg'
ed with violating the selective serv-
ice law.
