A FRESH CRISIS
FOOD SUBSIDY PLAN REBUFF WASHINGTON. June 2G. The United States Congress has struck a second blow at President Roosevelt's home front policy. After I over-riding the President's veto on the Anti-Strike Bill, the Senate yesterday rejected his plans for retail food subsidies, designed to keep down the cost of living, when it decided, by 39 votes to 37, in favour of transferring complete control over food prices and the administration of all subsidised foods to Mr. Chester C. Davis, the present food controller. This has confronted President Roosevelt with the biggest domestic crisis of the war. All America is watching for the President's next move, particularly in connection with the coal strike.
