Smold ering official opinion in favor of a presidential authorization to take over railroads and coal mines not operated at their highest efficiency, was rovised In congress today when it was made known at the White House that President Harding still held that a grant of power was de sirable although without any Idea of using the authority except in a case of direct public necessity. One immediate result of the re newal discussion, of government op eration was the prospect that house might be called upon at short notice to put itself on record In the matter. Representative Johnson. Republican,' South Dakota, announced his Inten tion to offer tomorrow an amendment to the administration coal control bill which would give the nresldent the authority he was said to desire. Sev eral other members of the house in dicated that they also would submit amendments with the same purpose in view, although congressional lead ers generally predicted no such legis lation would be passed tor the pres ent. As explained at the White House. the President's attitude is that the administration's hold on the situation would be measureably strengthened if it had as a foundation the poten tial power to take over a single rail road or a system of carriers, a single mine or a series of mining properties wnicn nao oeen snown clearly to have failed to render the house full Bervice. There was no hint as to the manner tn which properties would be administration if taken over White house spokesmen emphasising that Mr. Harding had .no. immediate In-- tentldn of using the suggested Dower. And foresaw no prospect that it would present situation. Dinuninoog rTDDfem ixnTca Mr. Harding, It was declared, be- Jleved today that the bituminous ooal indnstrv wnn wnrk nr out Itn nwn problem under the Impetus or the practical settlement reached at Cleve- juiiu hiiu nem luniier mat ine an thracite strike would be settled , shortly. Should this forecast be borne out by developments, 10 was said at the White House. . the railroad tangle would be left as the only Industrial knot of first Importance and In this connection the administration policy as outlined today, was said to be con structed on a strict enforcement of existing laws which guarantee safety ot ate ana property ano maintenance of necessary public service. A less optimistic view of the fuel situation was taken by Chairman .Cummins of the senate Interstate commerce committee in his report on the coal control bill. Present Situation Is Grave The present situation Is an ex ceedingly grave one," the report de clared, adding that unless the rail roads succeeded In materially in creasing their facilities for handling coal the situation would be the same as though the bituminous strike was . still in progress throughout the in dustry. Some operators "and some dealers," tho report continued, were tnlcincF flrivnntnirA nf the shortage of fuel and congress was faced with the necessity of either approving legisla tion such as that being reported or of permitting the publio to be "plun dered." The senate committee approved an amendment to the bill which would limit tho authority of the controlling - coTMSSirn one year. The house Interstate commerce commerce committee in reporting the Winslow bill for federal coal control announced that the proposal for a federal fuel agency had been defin itely abandoned and that the "Pres ident is In accord with the conclu sion." Bespite this action, however. Rep resentative Anderson, Republican, Minnesota, announced tonight that he had prepared an nmendmeni by which :he President would be authorised to take over coal mines. If necessary, to obtain an adequate supply of fuel, and to creato a national agency for buy ing from the mines and selling direct to the consumer. Some leaders declared tonight that both the Johnson and Anderson amendments probably .would be thrown out on points of order as not being germane to the bill Itself. Debate on Bill Not uonctuaea The six hours of general debate on the bill had not been concluded when the house adjourned tonight. The measure would be taken up tomorrow for continued consideration, ' It was said. Item by Item, and leaders said they would press a vote tomorrow night. Warm support was given bill dur ing the debate todny as an adminis tration measure nnd ns affording a means of preventing profiteering in a publio necessity. It was opposed by Republicans and Pemoorats who con tended thnt, while It might deal with a profiteering operutor, It offered no protection to the consumer against the dealer Representative Poll, Democrat, North Carolina, declared the bill would not cover the situation and added that congress should proceed at (Continued on Page I, Column 4)
