Bitter Food Bill Battle Opens Senate Clash
Washington August 6 The Senate resumes consideration of the conference report on the administration food control bill with Sen Reed Missouri leading opposition.

Reed attacks Hoover and appointees to grain agencies, warning of grain export control plans and port diversions. The fight may extend to possible night sessions as Democrats split from Republicans who favor affirmative action.
