Show Muscle Shoals Jam Passed by the Senate by a neiriu two-thirds vote, the Norrls bill t government operation of tiJrt Shoals struck a snag in the Hoik! Military Committee, where it rejfflod along with all other uZf ing bills on the subject. It is proposed that ' the Hon committee write an entirely bill, which is now being ra along the lines of President Ho cr's recommendation in his m sage to Congress last Deeepib? It would authorize the President' or a board appointed by him t dispose of the government o-mm by li ase to a private company Jn, out further action by Congress Some members of the committ. favor an additional provision iZ government operation in case satisfactory lease can not be mals Just what kind of a bill wm finally reported to the House k not known at present. So the Muscle Shoals question is in a jam again, with slight hot for action at this session, unless thp contending factions greatly modify their present attitudes. With President Hoover acd the regular Republican leaders opposed to the Noris plan, and with Sent tor Norris opposed to everytlan else, it looks very much like another deadlock over this 10-year-old prob-' lem. |
