the governments vast power projects

conditional approval by the House

ordered reported to the House with
recommendation that it be accepted
in the form agreed to in committee.
The action was taken by a vote of IL
to 9, in executive session. and was
interpreted by committeeman gener-
ally as being in effect blu the pre-
liminary skirmish to what promises
to become a bitterly contested battle
between the proponents and oppo-
nents of the Ford offer in the House.
In arriving at its final decision the
committee decided to eliminate from
the proArties covered in the Ford
offer the steam plant at Gorgas, Ala.
and agreed with w. B. Mayo and j.
w. Worthington. representatives of
the Detroit manufacturer, upon new
language regulating the manufacture
OF fertilizers. In all other respects
the Ford offer was fully approved.
Sees Victory for Ford.
Mr.. Mayo declared when advised of
the committee action that despite
elimination of the Gorgas plant he
regarded the results announced as a
decisive victory for Mr.. Ford and that
more determined effort than ever
before now would be made to obtain
the properties. To agree upon every
detail involved in the negotiations
except one, was a distinct achieve
ment. Mr.. Mayo added. particularly
since the discussions had been ex-
tended over so long period of time
more than year since they were
nrst begun at the War Department
He expressed warm appreciation for
the courteous and conscientious
time IT began consideration of the
subject"
