y<> < The Great Outdoors HARLAN F. STONE Senate Indorses Shoals Operation 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for consideration there with the house measure accepting the offer of Henry Ford, despite that the offer haa been withdrawn since the house acted at the last session.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.
