The only action taken at the dis
trict attorneys office, where the in
quiry has been centralized, was the
interviewing late today of young
woman who called with request that
she might see some of the investiga-
tors. She left about Is minutes later,
after having been taken to the office
of District Attorney Woolwine. She
declined to give her name. Persons
who saw her said she was no one con-
nected prominently with the motion
picture industry.
Woolwine previously had stated he
expected to receive reports from de-
tectives and others handling the Off,
cial investigation, which might make
il necessary for him to interview GER
tain persons who might have some
statements to make concerning the
case.
The district attorney said he had
checked up on countless" clues which
had been brought to his attention,
but without definite result.
For instance" he said, 81 was out
until 2 o'clock this morning, investi-
eating what, on its face, appeared to
be promising lead. The result, how
ever, was that a certain person had
what turned out to be nothing more
than a vague suspicion. | am stating

guage only and not to alter the plan
itself.
Committeeman also failed in their
attempts during examination of Ma
jor j. III. Burns, chief of the ammuni-
tion division of the armv's ordnance
department, to adjust differences of
opinion between ordnance officers
and those in the judge advocate gen.
erals department with regard to the
Warrior Power Plant Major Burns
insisted throughout an extended in
terrogation that the government was
obligated to sell that property to the
Alabama Power Company or remove
1t from their grounds. He declared
it could not be sofo to Ford as a part
OF the Muscle Shoals project unless
the government violated a contract
with the company. Previously offic-
ers OF the judge advocate generals
department had said the contract wac
non-enforceable
Statements by Major Burns that the
Warrior plant was not essential to
the Ford plan were countered later
by Mayo. who declared the power de-
Veloped there was needed and Ford
would demand clear title to that
unit as specified in his offer. This
situation was regarded by several
committee members as interposine a.
difficult obstruction to be overcome
before thev could return the Ford
plan to the house for disposition bv
that BODY, while others declared thev
could see no solution at all unless the
contract with the company was vio-
lated.
While the committee worked on the
Ford offer at the capitSl, Secretary
Weeks continued study IT the war de-
partment of the other offers he has
on Muscle Shoals.
Mayo told the committee Ford in
tended to manufacture fertilizers in
their finished forms and would not
produce exclusively their nitrate in
gradients" He also declared that not
more than eight per cent profit would
be imposed and that it was Ford's in
tention to deliver the completed pro-
duct direct to the farmer, preventing
their purchase by agencies which
might buy them and possibly fix the
price before they reached the farm

Questions by several committee
men developed that it was Ford's In
tention to use all the power develop
ed by the Warrior projects and other
plants for his own purposes at Mus
Gle Shoals.
A part of the power created, it was
explained, would be consumed in the
manufacture of automobile parts

BORAH WARNS SENATE
Says Disabled Veterans May
Suffer if Able-Bodied Are
Given Cash Bonus Now

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-The posi-
ton of the administration as to how
the funds for the soldiers bonus
should be raised may be made known
to congress tomorrow. President
Harding and Secretary Mellon had a
conference today and were understood
to have discussed the question.
Two plans have been suggested by
members of congress charged with
the reporting of bonus legislation.
One by Republican members OF the
house ways and means committee con-
templates special taxes, while under
the other, put forward by Chairman
McCumber and Senator Smoot oil
Utah, ranking Republican on the fin
ance committee, short time treasury
notes or bonds would be issued during
the time that the cash payments were
made to the former service men.
Opposition to Taxes
At the White House conference to-
day, il was indicated in some admin
istration quarters that the treasury
secretary held the same views with
regard to the issues of notes or bonds
that he expressed in his recent letter
to Chairman Fordney of the ways anu
means committee. On the other hand,
congressional leaders said opposition
to the levying of additional taxes at
this time was increasing.
II was understood that the tax pro-
gram drawn by the house sub-commft-
tee met with instant opposition when
il was presented to majority members

matter out, and after a conference
with Secretary Weeks, they were un-
derstood to have presented the two
proposals to the president.
While the president was consider
ing the matter, the sub-committees
marked time today. Senator McCum-
ber said he expected 20 get the presi-
dents views tomorrow, but added that
he was not advised as to how they
would be communicated.
Borah Issues Warning
The bonus question was discussed
today both in the senate and house.
Senator Borah, Republican, Idaho,
brought up the subject in the senate,
declaring that the demands for
bonus for former service men who
were not impaired physically or men
tally as a result of their war service,
might embarrass the government in
taking care of wounded and disabled.
The Idaho senator declared that
SIS, 000,000.000 was a conservative es-
innate of what it would cost the gov
ernment to care for all disabled men
before the governments obligation to
them would be discharged. He said
that in his judgment. it would be
matter of only 10 years before con-
gress would be appropriating billion
and a half dollars annually for the ne
cessities OF disabled men.
The bonus was brought before the
house by Representative MacGregor.
Republican, New York. who urged
that the funds for it be raised by
means of taxes on light wines and
