FARM BLOC HAS
NEWb|LLFOR
SHOALS
Dickinson Measure Provides
y. 8. Control, supsrseding
+; Henry Ford's Plan.

The House farm bloc" today de-
serted Henry Ford by Withdrawing
support for his plan to lease the
Governments Muscle Shoals prop
srty.
In q bill introduced In the House
By Congressman Dicksrson Rep)
Iowa, leader Of the bloc, Government
ownership Of the property is to be
continued and the Government is to
90 into the manufacture Of farm
fertilizer for sale to farmers and the
direct sale Of excess waterpower.
Provides U. 8. Control.
The bill creates q Government-con-
Srolled corporation to be known a.
the Federal Chemical Corporation,
consisting Of five members. Three Of
these members are to be appointed
BY the President, subject to con-
urmation by the Senate, and the
other two are to be the Secretaries
Of Agriculture and War. The corpo-
ration would have full powers to
complete the plant with funds pro-
Nded by the Government, and to
eperate the plant for the manu-
facture Of fertilizers to be sold at
lowest possible cost for distribution
20 farmers. and to sell excess water
power under conditions prescribed by
the National Waterpower act.
The Ford offer has been subjected
20 general criticism" said Dickerson.
Injection IL made to giving to any
individual the benefits Of an invest
ment Of $105, ,000. 900, obligating the
0overnment for $4,000, 900 more,
ana the placing Of this great prop
erty In q private corporation, which
would have the added advantage OF
prioe control of fertilizer production
and . manufacturing advantage in
water rights, without supervision or
control by any Government agency"
Would Conserve Property.
The proposed plan. Dickinson said,
would conserve the Government
money invested In the Muscle Shoals
property for future wartime. needs,
and provide for the operation of a
Government fertilizer plant during
peace times. The food producers, he
continued. must be relieved of the
monopoly now existing in the produc-
saon OF Chilean and other fertilizers.
NO item OF war expenditure to date
has been converted to the needs of
agriculture. The success Of the
Muscle Shoals plant is of general
public interest, he said, and he con-
eiudes that federal operation is the
eoiy solution to insure completion.

sweetheart and sued the city of Chicago
for damages. Today, another suit for
$4,000. an outgrowth Of the old case
vas recorded in Nordstrum's name
against the city.
In the early 9O's Mathilde Stevenson
came to the United States from Sweden.
Ericll loved her. Ills suit was lost, he
alleged. wien i city detective circulated
false stories about him.. and Mathilde
married another.
Nordstrum sued the detective and tho
city tor $4,000. &. B. Swift then
mayor agreed 10 pay the sum II tho
suit we're dropped. Nordstrum claimed,
but never did. In 1914, Erick again
sued the city, this time for $4,000. out
nothing came Of 1t, and now he has sued

In the intervening years, Nordstrum
has fled some thirty suits against In
