Washington, March 23.-(Specia1) Section S2 of the House military bill providing for the manufacture by the government of air-nitrate, principal in- gredient of high explosives and plant food fertilizers. was stricken just prior crnoon by a vote of 22O to 1S4. The vote on the bill was 4O2 to ?.
 During the morning when the prepared ness bill was being considered section by section. the air-nitrate provision which was the Muscle Shoals project passed muster. The amendment striking out the section was the last of several amend ments considered before the bill as a whole was submitted to a test.
 The republicans with the exception of Mr. Austin of Tennessee voted against the section. Democrats from northern states, as a rule, voted against the section. In support of the section the south stood as a practical unit. The Alabama delegation, with the exception of MT. Abercrombie, who is prosecuting his campaign for Con- gress in MT. Blackmons district, gave the section vigorous support.
 UNDERWOOD WILL FIGHT
 Senator Underwood stated this after noon that he would en1eavor to amend the bill in the Senate by restoring the stricken section. He declared that he was willing to go into the last ditch for a project which in the production of fer tilizer would mean the restoration of the south as the richest subdivision of the country.

The loss was partly covered by insurance and adjusters were at work today.
 Thousands of visitors from nearby Geor- gia towns and from South Carolina points just across the Savannah river came to Augusta today. some as idle onlookers and many as active helpers.

An attempt was made to steal an automobile early today. That vas the sum total of vandalism, police reported, and late today the militia com panies were withdrawn from duty.
 Another feature of the fire was that no lives were lost. There were scores of narrow escapes and a dozen or more per sons were slightly hurt Four firemen re- mained in hospitals tonight. but none was seriously injured.
