Wilson to study food control bill as Senate deadlock lingers
Washington July 13 President Wilson would study two food control bills and report to leaders before a July 21 vote. Senators Martin and Simmons met the White House to discuss the deadlock and a compromise while the Gore plan and the House amended bill were debated. The President seeks changes to extend control only over food and fuel, possibly excluding iron steel and copper, and did not endorse any action on prohibition or the defense council selling its own products.
