WAHHI.VITOX, June 7. Congress
must protect the American food sup
ply from the allies, warned both the
president and Hoover. Lrf-aders
both parties turned their attention
to this pressing problem as the most
difficult ahead.
England's clamor for more food is
growing louder and prices here climb
hieher. The laborer s demand ror
governmentai action grows more in
sistent. The president declared con
greas must give the rood control de
partment ample powers or the allies
will come here and bid for American
food, hoisting the prices higher.
Hoover declared adequate machin
ery must be established immediately
Hoover opposed government price
fixing.
Congressmen are feeling no rest
from the food situation. They are re
ceiving thousands of letters, demand
ing governmental action. The food
control bill will be reported in the
house earls next wee.. The hou
committee is sitting almost constant

of good roads more press in g they
have had nothing but their own
