Congress Advances Food Control Bill With Expansive Powers
Washington June 11 The house committee on agriculture completed its consideration of the food control bill. Chairman Lever will report the bill to the house within a few days. The bill strengthens the presidents powers especially in section 3. Key sections were stricken: fixing standards raising flour milling percentage and mixing wheat flour with corn starch barley meal. The hoarding section, licensing of manufacturers storers and distributors with a retailer proviso, and prohibitions on waste and the use of grain for alcohol remain. Minimum price provisions were removed. Requisition and control of grain exchanges stay with two amendments by Congressman George M Young enlarging storage space and tightening grain exchange practices. The amendments empower the president to regulate and possibly prohibit practices to curb injurious speculation. The language adds records and sworn returns to disclose all transactions under the section.
