 He Says
By AssoeIated Press

Washington, February 15.--Gov- error Ali A. Taylor picturesque chief executive of Tennessee, returned to the house today where he served once as member, to appeal for adoption by Congress of the Ford offer for operation of the governments prop critics at Muscle Shoals. He was re- ceived amid applause by the house military committee and immediately launched into a vigorous attack upon the Alabama Power company. which he declared, opposed the adoption of Mr. Fords proposal.
 The Alabama Power company" he asserted, should not hold the name of Alabama and oppose development of the Muscle Shoals projects. No man, no interest no corpora ton can bama or Tennessee who opposes MT. Ford-the man of all others who can help us and is qualified to complete the shoals, for We are down in the dumps without it."
 Its completion means new hope,' he continued. New enterprises and business are needed. We need them.
 In solemn tones, deep and impress sive. the aged executive said: No man, no intrest, no corporation can oppose the Ford offer and be friend of Tennessee, of Alabama, or of the entire people of the South"

TODAY BEGINS
 SOUSA SEAT SALE
Box Office Opens for PuT- chase of Tickets to
 Band Concert

Today at o'clock the seat sale for Sousa's band, Lieutenant Com mander John Philip Sousa, U. S. N. k. F. conductor, will begin for the two concerts to be presented here next Saturday, "Band Day." in Birming ham, under the auspices of the All Star Concerts (Mrs. Richard r. John ston and Mrs. orline A shlpman).
 If you've never heard Souss and his band, you will not want to miss this wonderful opportunity, and if you have heard them. nothing could in- duce you not to be present, for with his splendid organization of nearly LOO musicians, including 12 soIoists, Lieutenant Commander Sousa con ducting, the music is the most thrill ling, the most patriotic the most brilliant that has ever been heard
 Did you happen to know the story that is told about how Sousa got his name?
 It is said that when he started for America from some unknown isle that all the baggage he had was a suit case; his name was Samuel O'Sulli- van; his initials were marked on the outside of his suit case, "S O. and as he was bound for the U, S. A., these initials were added, making S. 70. U. $. A"
 As fl matter of fact there isn't word of truth in the story, because Lieutenant Commander Sousa comes from long lines of ancestors-Sousas galore-who have lived in this coun- try since the early days, coming here from Spain, and the distinguished March King" was born in Washing ton, D. C., on c street, southeast. three doors from Christ church. Navy Yard, comp poser, novelist, sportsman hunter marksman, horseman, social leader and handmaster. Lieutenant Commander Sousa has perhaps done more to demoeratize music and bring good music before the masses than any other musician America has ever known.
 His programs next Saturday will in clude as "encores" selections from the March Kings" greatest marches.

here that power company In my sister state of Alabama known as the Alabama Power company is per haps delaying and disturbing this committees approval of Mir Ford's offer for Muscle Shoals | am sorry that my brother governor of Ala bama, Mir. Kilby. is not here. for l believe he would agree with me that the Alabama Power company ought to withdraw it's contentious. how ever righteous they are, or the Ala bama Power company ought to change it's name.
 No corporation should bear the, name of Tennessee and Alabama which opposes the immediate ac- ceptance of the Ford offer by this committee and while I. always will and shall hope not to strain Tennes- sees hospitality to any corporation desiring to build up the state Of Tennessee, yet l must say that no corporation or individual is welcom e. in Tennessee which opposes the i'm mediate adoption by Congress of the Ford offer.
 -I am further informed that the street railway troubles in two cities of my state, Memphis and Knoxville, are being readjusted and financed by interests in New York which are identified with and may be in con trol of the Alabama Power company. and while I welcome their efforts to establish the street railway trans. portation of Memphis and Knoxville on sound financial basis, I must tell them that if they are opposed to the Ford offer. I hope they will ex- cuse me for saying that they are not welcome in Memphis or Knoxville not welcome in Tennessee. No man no interest, no corporation can op- pose the Ford offer and be a friend to Tennessee and Alabama and their people, and the people of the South"
