PASS FOOD BILL,
WILSON MEN URGE
Administration Leaders
Make Supreme Effort in'
Support of Lever
Measure
HOOVER OUTLINES PLANS
WASHINGTON, June 13
The Administration program to mobilize
the food resources of tho country on a war
footing commanded the undivided attention
ot Congress todas General debate on the
food-control bill, which opened In tho Senate
and House jesterdav, was continued In a
supremo effort by Administration leaders
to gain support for an admittedly unpopular
measure
Opponents to the bill In the House, while
not claiming sufllclent votes to kill the bill,
today were centering their efforts toward
modifying the plenary powers to be exer
cised by tho President through Mr Hoover.
POWERS OP PRESIDHNT
As the bill stands now It confers absolute
authority upon the President In this phrase

extend to and Include all the processes,
methods, activities of and for the pro

saries which shall be exercised and ad
ministered by the President for the pur
poses of this act; and all ruch neces
saries, processes, methods nnd activities
are hereby, declared to be affected with a
public Interest.
Senate opposition to tho bill Is more stub
born thnn that which has developed In the
House. In an effort to win favor for the
bill In the upper chamber, Herbert C.
Hoover the food administrator, appeared
before the Sennto Agriculture Committee
at an open meeting to answer questions,
clear up misunderstandings and dissipate
the prejudices which threaten the passage
of the measure,

WITHIN a few months the United

These men must have our best.
To prepare for their needs in ad

the Red Cross has undertaken.
Doctors, nuiscs, ambulances, must
be ready. Vast quantities of hos

supplies of every kind must bo pre

The Red Cross is trying to do
these things nnd is trying to raise

Do "your share by making a con

CITY WILL DELAY
SCHOOLSHIP FUND
Councils' Financiers Find
No Money for Appro
priation Now
WILL PROVIDE FOR ART
HARRISBURG, June 10.
The Vare bill to re-establish the Pcnn
sjlvania Nautical School is on the third
reading and final passagevalendar in
the House of Representatives today.
Because of the lengthy calendar, how
over, it may not be reached until to
morrow. It grants a State appropria
tion of $50,000 to train master seamen,
provided the city of Philadelphia ap
propriates an additional $50,000 for the
next two cars.
Summer plans for tho re-establlshment
of tho Pennsjlvanla Nautical School will
be abandoned and Philadelphia will not
start training oung men ns olllcers for the
merchant marine until near tho close of the
ear If then That is shown by tho failure
of Councils' Tlnance Committee to provide
funds needed to permit the city to co-op-crate
with the State at once
City financiers, at their clean-up session
before the summer recess, which will last
well Into September, provided for city needs
and on June 28 will appropriate J10.000 for
tho elimination of mosquitoes near the
League Island concentration camps.
SIIORTwVGE OF MONEY
These provisions and the expenditure of
so much money to relieve the naval base
and training camp of the presence of the
pests has, In the opinion of members of the
Kln.vnco Committee, so depicted finances
that no provision can be made for the nau
tical school until late In tho fall.
On Thursday a bill will be Introduced In
Councils to piovldo money for the upkeep
of the Johnson homo nnd tho Johnson art
collection and if present plans ale carried
out this will be the last money Bpent until
fall A special meeting of tho Finance
Committee will be held late Thursday after
noon to report favorably on the appropria
tion, but advocates of the nautical school
have little or no hope of securing any action
on the nautical school bill at this hurried
closing session
Financiers anxious to stave oft any ac
tion on the nautical school program point
to Mf act that the State legislation Is not
vetlRhane for tho signature of Governor
Brumbaugh, and that therefore the tjme Is
not ripe to jeport out the bill now In the
Finance Committee, which appropriates
$55,000 for the needs of the school during
the first sear of Its existence Under pend
ing legislation the State Is to provide a
similar amount for each year the school la
continued.
Common Councilman John Baltley, of
the Thirty-ninth Ward, has mad, repeated
efforts to have the bill called up In Finance
Committee, but has been, blocked at every
move by municipal financiers anxious to,
retain some semblance of a balance In the
city treasury pver the summer months.
In the fall mo&t members of Councils
come up for re-election, and with thla fact
In view every effort will be made to bring;
the city finances Into such shape that Jioma
kind of a showing can be made for th
first year me new jax. rmo n uj m
