WASHINGTON, Sept. 8. The food administration regulation of prices was disputed in the senate today when Senator Sherman of Illinois, calling attention particularly to sixty cent eggs, declared bread prices had not decreased and that the food administration admits meat prices cannot be reduced.

"Mr. Hoover had nothing to do with that," interjected Senator Jones of Washington. "I want that responsi

bility fixed. Wheat prices were fixed

by a committee appointed by the pres

ident, who is responsible.

or and lawyer to take such an excuse" Senator Gronna replied. "The responsibility is on Mr. Hoover as food ad

ministrator.
