Washington, D. C. — Government
operation of Muscle Shoals was dis
approved by the senate. 48 to 87. The
vote came on the question of substi
tuting the Underwood leasing bill for
the Norris government operation plan.
The effect of the vote was to kill the
Norris measure, but the Underwood
bill still is before the senate and open
to amendment. Several substitutes
for the Underwood bill have been pro
posed and republican leader* are hope
ful of getting the subject off the sen
ate calendar temporarily, at least, by
tbe end of this week.
W hatever the final form of the
senate bill, K must go to conference
for consideration there with the house
measure accepting the offer of Henry
Ford, despite that the offer haa been
withdrawn since the house acted at
the last session.
The senate also rejected the Wads
worth amendment to the Underwood
Muscle Shoals MU which would have
given a commission of experts com
plete power to dispose of the gigantic
project without reference to congress.
