to 25.
*
U nder th e resolution as adopted a
gigantic system of fertilizer experi

secretary of agriculture, while the sec
re ta ry of w ar will dispose of all power
developm ent a t the project. T he re so
lution now goes to the house for ac
tion before it becomes a law.
This action represented a clear-cut
victory for S enator Georgb W. N orris
of N ebraska, in su rg en t leader, who
has fought for 10 years ag ain st leas
ing the property to a private corpora
tion as a fertilizer project. N orris
m aintained throughout the fight th at
fertilizer cannot be m anufactured
cheaply a t Muscle Shoals, but th a t the
governm ent should sell the power de
veloped there and spend the money on
fertilizer experim ents elsew here.
