 Ford Proposition
By Associated rr.ss.

Washington, August 2s.--Henry Ford's terms for taking over the Muscle Shoals power and nitrate plant were assailed publicly today by Clifford Pnchot, former chief for ester and conscrvationist.
 Plnchot declared Mir. Ford's offer was equivalent to interest at only 3.6 per cent on the investment; that 1t proposed no payment for water power; that certain machinery in the plant was worth more than the Ford offer for the whole, and that it took too little account of the production of fertilizer.
 MT. Pinchot said he did not be- lieve MT. Ford's offer should be re- jocted, but that it should be revised to provide for the return of the property to the government in 50 years if wanted; that Mir. Ford pay for the property of the people some thing approaching what the property is worth and to make clear what it offers to farmers beyond doubt"

By Associated Press

Washington, August 2S.--Increased earnings of the railroads during the first six months of the year were attributed, in statement issued ,o- day by the Association of Railway Executives, to reductions in operal- ing expenses and to 'postponement of expenditures that must be made If the roads are to be- adequately maintained" The increase in earn ings, the statement said, was due largely to decrease In expenses such as would have to be resum sd if business were to revive toward normal"
 Fewer trains were run, less coal used and fewer men employed with out, however, any reduction ot wages" according to the, statement which also pointed out that there was a reduction in the amount of material used, such as ties, rails and other track material. and that fewer bad order cars and engines were put into condition.
 Tt should be borne in mind' the statement said, that the first six months Of 1921 showed no relief to the railroads from any reduction in basic wages, nor from any change in rules and working conditions
 Beginning July l. a Wage reduc- tion of approximately IF per cent went into effect and some progress is being made toward working con ditions conductive to greater effi- cieney and economy. The second six months of 1921 should therefore show an improvement over the first six months"
