War committee plea by Wilson stalls food bill clash
The dispute over the food bill provisions pits the Senate and House as they seek to resolve the $2 a bushel wheat amendment and Prohibition questions. House leaders push to keep a bone dry standard or give the President authority over alcohol and distilled spirits while a single food board is opposed. Conferees may be named today but a deadlock is likely as administration leaders resist speeding the bill while Senate amendments face block. The Senate defeated the $2 wheat provision 51 to 8 after Trammell of Florida failed to secure a reconsideration.
