SENATE PREPARING
POST-WAR MOVES
Food and Fuel Control May
Require Attention After
Conflict Is Ended.
With the prospects of an early peaee.j
looming up, members of the Senate ere
looking toward legislation which moat
be enacted immediately to meet the
situation that will arise when the war |
is over. One of the first questions that
will present themselves Is the continu
ance of the food and fuel administra
tions. The food control law, under
which both were created, lapses with the j
war.
Continuance of War Boaads.
Some of the senators believe that it
will be imperative to continue the work
of the food administration and probably
that of the fuel' administration for at
least a year after the war ends. They
believe, too, that it will be necssary to
continue in operation the War Industries
Board and the War Trade Board to pre
vent chaotic conditions in this country
when all the nations of Europe rush to
it for supplies after peace comes.
The situation with regard to the
food supply will be more serious after
oeace is restored than it is today,
while the war is going on, Food Ad
ministrator Hoover has told some of]
'he senators. This country will be
called upon to serve food to starving
millions in Russia and to Germany
and Austria, where the people are
facing an evil wniter. While the mil-|
lions of men in the Army will be re- .
reased from service and able to return
to their homes, it will not be pos
sible for them to make much impres- ,
sion on the food shortage In Europe
until next year, when the crops must,
be planted and harvested.
Opposition Expected. j
The continuation of the food ad-.
ministration will have strong support, i
tut there is no doubt that it will meet
with opposition, just as it did when
the law-was under consideration in
the Senate. ?
Senator Reid of Missouri, Senator
Lodge and others are said to be bit
terly opposed to a continuation of
these organisations, believing that
the law of supply and demand can be
relied upon to take care of the sit
uation. It has developed that the In
vestig&tion of the food and fuel ad
ministrations, which, was carried on
by a subcommittee of the Senate com
mittee on manufactures last winter,
is to be renewed as soon as the elec
tions are over. This subcommittee is
headed by Senator Reed, and Senator
Lodge Is another member. This is
regarded in some quarters as the first
move on the part of the opponents of
the fuel and food administrations as
the fuel and food administrations to pre
vent any legislation extending the life
of these organizations. ?

HOLD AID TO V. S. ILLEGAL.
SPARTANBURG, S. C., October SI
?Five taxpayers of the city of Spar
tanburg have begun legal action to
enjoin the mayor and the city com
missioners from paying an annual
rental of 115,000 from the city's funds
on property now used by the govern
ment at Camp Wadsworth.
The complaint sets out that the city
officials have no such authority vest
ed in them and that their contract
with the United States government is
ngll and fold. Spartanburg's contract
with the government calls for the city
to furnish 2,000 acres of land for Ave
years for the camp.

nasty discharge or nose running;
relieves sick headache, dullness,
feverish ness, sore throat, sneezing,
